General discussion of Sun-Uranus aspects.
About the sextile aspect
What is a sextile? A sextile is an astrological aspect of 60 degrees and in the group of major aspects. Astrologers generally consider two planets or points to be sextile one another if they are approximately 55 to 65 degrees away from each other, give or take. This range depends on the orb an astrologer allows and, in this example, the orb is 5 degrees. In reality, different astrologers use different orbs.
The sextile is considered harmonious and easy. The planets forming a sextile are playing nicely with one another, making benefits and opportunities more likely. In fact, sextiles hold the potential for an intelligent use of the energies of the involved planets and points.
Sextiles are one of several aspects that astrologers consider to be harmonious, flowing, positive, supportive, or cooperative. The trine is another harmonious major aspect.

— Sample interpretation from the Life Path report.
Sun sextile Uranus makes these individuals intuitive, original, inventive, and independent in manner, conduct and personal appearance. They are also likely to be eccentric or different from the norm. Uranus rules the ethers and electricity and these people are apt to be of high-strung temperament but well under control, and rarely show temper or anger.
These natives are idealists and likely to be flexible and able to adopt different points of view. Though their reactions can sometimes be unpredictable, they rarely show negative attitudes, and are willing to accept almost any possibility. They are apt to be egalitarian in their attitudes toward society, interested in and accepting of all people, regardless of their backgrounds, race, and culture.
NORMERGIC TENDENCIES: Medically, this is a good aspect, for it shows the body is able to adapt to or compensate for defects or dysfunctions as may be found in the rest of the chart. Notably, this aspect tends to add rhythm to bodily functions, including peristalsis, blood and lymph flow, nerve fluids.
— Sample interpretation from the Body & Soul report.
Sun sextile Uranus indicates that it is difficult for these individuals to create or to maneuver their own opportunities to get ahead. They must learn instead to remain constantly alert and ready to take advantage of whatever comes their way, since these occurrences are unpredictable, appearing suddenly and often from totally unexpected sources.
