Hi everyone, Ive been recently involved in an emotional relationship with a guy that has a semi-sextile sun to mine. (Im a virgo hes a libra.) Just wondering what everyones thoughts are on semi-sextiles and if anyone has been in that type of relationship before. It shouldnt be too much of a concern if the other aspects are good im assuming, right? Any input is greatly appreciated! My stats:
Virgo Asc Virgo Sun Gemini Moon Virgo Mercury Libra venus Sagitarius Mars His Stats:
Capricorn Asc Libra Sun Aquarius Moon Scorpio Mercury Libra Venus Virgo Mars Im also curious if he may feel like theres not enough "fire" to the relationship..im lacking fire except mars, and he lacks it altogether. Anyone else have this combo?

Also wondering... on a synastry report it said his Sun conjuncted my Pluto...and my pluto is Scorpio!! Hes 29 degrees Libra, and my pluto is 0 degrees scorpio... Im guessing this still works as a conjunction because of the orb according to the website, but it had me a little puzzled.IP: Logged |

Pretty much every couple I know or know of - that has lasted in a marriage - is a semi-sextiled couple..Leo female/Cancer male - 6 years and going Leo female/Cancer male - 60 yrs Libra female/Virgo male - 30 yrs Aries female/Pisces male - 26 yrs and going Taurus female/Gemini male - 25 to 30 years.. I'm not sure exactly - and going.. I can't think of anyone else right now. I thought there were more. I might add some later. IP: Logged |

I posted a very similar question a couple of days ago ... maybe the replies I got will help you. Here's the link: http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/014998.html Personally, I think that semisextiles are a good thing in synastry ... I'd rather have a semisextile between the two people's Suns than a semisquare (even if the semisquare usually involves Suns in "compatible" signs and elements). IP: Logged |

I must say...that...I lOVEDDDD this THread!Thanks WInged Feet for having pulled that one out  WE are also a semi-sextile couple hihihi - and i always red that placement is really awful and do not mantain a couple together. Im a Virgo and heīs a Libra like your relationship. And also,in our astro table says that his Venus is conj my AC when in fact, my AC is 0šLibra and his Virgo is 26šVirgo - so im also woundering like you - puzzled  CoralFrequency, I must extend my appreciation for your post - its the 1st time i see so many couples with lasting relationships, said to be "semi sextile couples"!!HURRAY for the SEMI-SEXTILE hIHIHIH I hope also that somesay he just makes the proposal and lasts like those  SagSun, so what really the semisextiles "do"?

hi there ^_^ it seems to me that your planets' signs are quite compatible. ^_^ Even if your Suns are in the incompatible signs, you guys might actually be having a grand trine with your Moons and his Sun (depending on the degrees), which is really good.Personally, me and my bf have quincunx Suns (Aries and Scorpio) and semi-sextile Moons (Aries and Pisces), but not by degrees.. My Moon is quincunx to his Sun by degrees thought. This can sound very incompatible astrologically, but taking a better look, I have water DC and he has fire DC, I have a stellium in the 8th house and he has Sun and Moon in fire houses. And we also have pairs of planets in compatible signs that helps a bit.. ^_^ Personally, I see semi-sextile as an aspect involving two signs that although are very different by nature, they actually have lotsa things in common. Taking Pisces and Aries for example, while Pisces is gentle, caring and selfless but sometimes lack of courage and is too passive, Aries is impulsive, courageous and never hesitates yet also too self-centered sometimes. But both of them have that naive/innocent touch. Aries can teach Pisces to be more active and strong, while Pisces can smooth Aries' fire.. Actually, a Pisces of late degrees is very similar to an Aries of early degrees. IP: Logged |

Paul Westran states in his book about "Progressed synastry" that a semisextile between planets at birth often changes into a conjunction or sextile in the progressed synastry. DD IP: Logged |

I'm in a semisextile relationship - Taurus and Gemini.Interesting point, DD... I'll have to check out the progressed synastry! Edit: Wow! VERY interesting. I just checked and we have sextile progressed suns (Gemini and Leo), with an *exact* progressed Venus conjunction (in Cancer). IP: Logged |

Gemini Lover,another confirmation of that theory! The progressed Sun-Venus conjunction, trine or even opposition seem to be the most constant aspects, that "make" relationships happen. But the Venus-Venus and Venus-Mars conjunction / opposition and trine seem to happen very often, too. Actually I have seen a Venus-Venus- aspect even more often in relationships than a Venus-Mars aspect. (personally I would add the Venus-ASC, Sun-DSC and Mars-DSC to that list). DD IP: Logged |

nice theory.. ^_^ our AC are in quincunx signs (so our AC are in semi-sextile signs with each other's DC), and in the progressed charts, our AC are opposed to each other (around 4 degrees).. His pMars is also opposed to my pVenus by around 4 degrees, and my Mars is opposed to his Venus by sign.. ^_^ And in the pComposite (of when we started), we have Mars opposed to Venus/Moon/Jupiter conjunction at 7th house, while we also have Sun/Mercury conjunction at 8th house.By the way, anyone hear about the theory that people tend to meet when the pComposite Sun and Mercury form a conjunction (or other aspects), and they tend to stop interacting with each other when these 2 planets separate?

Diandra,you have to make a progressed natal chart for each person and then compare the placements of natal Sun, Venus, Mars, ASC to the progresed planets. And don`t forget to include the progressed planets. Example: Person 1: natal Sun: 17° Aries progressed Sun: 01° Gemini natal Venus: 04° Taurus progressed Venu: 29,5° Gemini natal Mars: 20° Pisces progressed Mars: 25,5° Aries Person 2: natal Sun: 26° Sagittarius progressed Sun: 29,5° Capricorn natal Venus: 06° Capricorn progressed Venus: 17,5° Aquarius natal Mars: 05° Sagittarius progressed Mars: 29° Sagittarius natal ASC: 07° Sagittarius progressed ASC: 04° Capricorn And now you can compare those charts - WEstran only uses an orb of 2°, because his findings led him to the conclusion, that the aspects are only valid and active within this narrow orb; when for example the progressed Sun comes into a trine to the natal Venus and crosses the 2° barrier, then a window of opportunity opens and often a relationship is beginning; when progressed Sun has left the natal Venus more than 2° behind, this window closes again and often the relationship falls apart, if there isn`t enought substance in the natal-natal comparision.
In my example there is a natal - natal love-aspect, a Venus-Venus-trine; it means that it`s an imprinted "bonus", but the progressions help to activate those natal configuration and highlight them. Here, there are also some progressions at work; as you can see there is a progressed Sun-Sun-trine within 1,5°. Well, this is not an aspect that "makes" a relationship; it seems only Venus can do that. But a Sun-Sun-trine is very helpful in getting along with each other and all those other interpretations we know for this one. Person 1`s progressed Venus on 29,5° Gemini had been opposite person 2`s natal Sun, which is a very attracting aspect. But the orb of this one is 3,5° and Venus is moving forwards into CAncer, even further apart from the opposition to the Sun. So this window of opportunity has closed some years ago. But there`s yet another aspect: person 1`s progressed Venus is opposite person 2`s progressed Mars, and it`s very close to exactness, meaning the aspect is most valid NOW. And Venus-Mars-opposition WEstran has found to be a very passionate one to the point that it breaks apart previous relationships; but it is more often found in passionate affairs with an emphasis on sexual attraction than in stable relationships, where you settle down with each other. However, this one will not last forever; progressed Venus is moving faster than progressed Mars, so she will eventually move away from Mars, and when she crosses the 2°, this window will also be closed. to be continued IP: Logged |

(cont.) So, Person 1`s progressed Mars is trine person 2`s natal Sun (and Mercury, DSC-ruler - unfortunately WEstran couldn`t investigate how rulers of angles play out). This is not a "conventional relationship"-aspect, but highlights the ability to cooperate, to get active together and also some physical attraction. Person 1`s progressed Mars is on that certain day, I chose for the progressions, exactly conjunct person 2`s progressed Moon. WEstran didn`t research the Moon, because he had to work with unknown birthtimes some of the times, and furthermore, the progressed Moon moves insanely fast. So, this aspect will be only valid for maybe a few days up to 2 weeks, maybe, whereas the other progressions mostly are valid for the whole year. However, Mars conjunct Moon may tell something about whipped up emotions I guess.
Person 2`s progressed Venus is exactly sextile Person 1`s natal Sun, which is a nice aspect, but according to the theory, doesn`t make a relationship happen without confirmation of other stronger connections. But it surely is supportive and friendly. Person 2`s progressed ASC is also exactly trine Person 1`s natal Venus, which is similiar to a Mars-Venus-trine. So, for the 30th december of 2007 there are those important aspects: 1. his progressed Venus opposite her progressed Mars 2. her progressed ASC trine his natal Venus Over the next years, those aspects will dissolve, making place for others. Like in about 4 years from now: - his progressed Sun conjuncts her natal DSC - his progressed Venus opposes her natal Venus And some years later his progressed Mars will move into a trine to her natal Venus
If there are so many progressions that follow each other, then that is what WEstran calls a "Perpetual progression".
Usually, a progression forms and then dissolves, and after it`s faded away, the couple has to work with what they have natally. Maybe this is the reason many couples leave that "in love" feeling after about 2 years? It doesn`t mean that the relationship has to fall apart. It depends on what you ahve natally; if the relationship is strong and true, it will survive this. But it will be another phase then. HOwever, if a couple has several of these progressions following each other, year after year, it mostly means they can stay in love for a while longer than other couples. Or it can mean they somehow can`t away from each other, even though both know it would be wise, if they did. A couple who has a rather weak natal synastry, with not too many "love-ties" can nevertheless be helplessly in love with each other, if the progressions are there. But when the progressions leave, there will be a sense of loss and disappointment. If they are mature people, they probably can handle it; but if they aren`t very mature or very idealistic and romantic, then the relationship may fall apart at this point, because the romantic feelings can`t be kept up.

Hi Diandra,I just looked at your charts.  "If im nt mistaken, our suns will be conjunt when mine passes to the next sign -Libra isnst it?" Yes, this aspect will be valid in about 3-4 years.
"And his progressed sun is in trine qith my natal sun?" No, it`s a sextile, but as I said, even though the sextile is not that strong, it is supportive.
"nd my progressed sun at 29 virgo is conjunting his P venus at 27 libra" No, that would be a semisextile. But a few years ago your progressed Sun was conjunct his Venus. 
"Also my p.sun is skuaring his ac(bad isnt it)?" It`s actually a sextile from 30° Virgo to 28° Cancer.
"his p mars is trine my p venus" And it`s exact. Jup.
Your pr Sun has also been trine his DSC for the last 2 years. And you can look forward to some more in the future: His p Mars will move into a trine to your natal Venus somewhen in the future.  Hmm, I wonder if these rules also apply to the progressed composite?

thanks DDsO im seeing that the most strong aspect now is the venus-mars trine (not the indicative long lasting :P but instead a atraction factor ) I liked the sun-DSC but unfortunatelly he didnt studied that  A few years ago none of us felt that venus-sun conjunction unfortunatelly :P Im goin to wait for the moment to see our suns in conjunct - see what happens ! I looked at my progresssed composite and have -sun/venus conjunction -venus conj karma/valentine conj -mars/karma conj - Pluto/ac conj - this one must be quite dificult hihihi - Moon trine jup and uranus - a lot of clashes - kiron with venus/mars/jup/saturn/uranus/ and only a kiron/sun trine - no wonder that we feel so frsustrated at times -NN trine AC
Some of them are very beautiful but the clashes sure are quite a few COMICA, on a thread that Jane started in soul union forum,talked about important progressions/tranists of when we meet a very important person in our life - with us it was right spot on - but ive never heard that one before.

The Composite charts for semi-sextile relationships will always put the sun in one of the natives own Sun sign. For a Taurus/Gemini couple it will always fall in Taurus or Gemini. Usually both parties are familiar with that energy, so that works well, and the Sun sign identity of the relationship will match the sun sign identity of at least one of the people in the relationship.IP: Logged |

Yeah, the composites are done by midpoint, so if you have one Sun in Aquarius, and the other in Pisces, the middle point between the Suns has to fall in either Aquarius or Pisces.IP: Logged |

I was just thinking about oppositions, and how that works out. If mother Cancer and father Capricorn try a relationship, their Sun falls in diplomatic Libra. I guess when these two cranky people get together they have become a couple that doesn't want to step on any one's toes.I also thought about how a Venusian couple with a Libra and a Taurus could put the joint Sun in Leo! Isn't that interesting? Put a couple of supposedly lazy (Venus) Suns together, and you get regal Leo couple. Of course neither of those signs are really all that lazy. Libra's got boundless energy, and Taurus has got the determination to see anything through. Boundless energy + Determination = Leo (seems more right, though you can also get a Cancer Sun with this combination). IP: Logged | |
