How much do semi sextiles affect a person? I have moon semisextile mars as well.
Don't think it's as obvious as my moon conjunct venus. It's like the tiny sprinkles on top of a sundae isn't it? Not really obvious at all.

My quess is since its weaker than the inconjunction it might be alil stronger, if not as strong as the Quintile. Just a guess

Sextile connects signs that have different modes and different elements, too, but here the elements are compatible.

This is a great description Ami. A while back I read an article where someone compared semi-sextiles to oysters (unfortunately I don't recall where I read it). One must put forth effort, but effort is eventually repaid with a pearl. Semi-sextiles have the capacity of uncovering deep and beneficial talents or appreciations which did not seem to exist at first glance.

If we consider how the angle plays out in the zodiac, we can gain a bit more insight. Semi-Sextiles are 30 degrees (1/12th of a circle), which places them under the 12th Harmonic. The 12th Harmonic is associated with Neptune, Pisces, and the 12th House and therefor lends an energy of both illusion or misunderstanding and reward for devotion or long-suffering. Pisces struggles with the duality of being carried away or fighting against the current. The former results in oblivion (the fish fails to spawn and its legacy dies with it), where the latter (though the path takes every ounce of their energy) is rewarded with eternal life (the fish is able to lay its eggs and continue its legacy).

If we look at the semi-sextile in terms of sign interaction, this aspect involves neighbor signs. Aries and Taurus (for example) may travel their paths at completely different speeds, but with a semi-sextile they can work to understand the value of each other. Aries can learn to appreciate things before tossing them over their shoulder and moving on to the next point of interest, and Taurus can learn to find the inner ambition to break through their fear of change.

Moonfish ,
technically it is more on the difficult side, but not as harsh as a square or opposition.
The thing is the signs are very different that are being connected, and often it is difficult because of "non-understanding".
It just doesn`t fit.

Like my Venus in Capricorn semisextile my Mars in Sagittarius.
Very different expression, but unlike with the square and opposition, you often can "ignore" the differences / difficulties. You are not forced to acknowledge them all the time. So you start brushing all the little things and minor difficulties under the carpet and one day you will wonder how you will manage to clear all that crap that has been piling up over years away.

But in most cases you simply do not pay attention to the semisextile, especially in synastry. It is like yu don´t see the other planet clearly, maybe not even know it is being there.

there is plenty to delinate in a natal chart with aspects, midpoints, etc if you want to expand your knowledge, why not try declinations in parallels??

It is a very beneficial aspect, but requires the devotion and acceptance characteristic of Piscean things for a quick lesson to be learned. Otherwise the two forces involved, may have an idealized or vilified view of each other, without making effort for a deeper understanding.

I have moon in libra semi-sextile pluto in scorpio. Well, I could say that I have some deep interactions and I don't go well with people that are too superficial, but It isn't obviously there like my pluto-sun sextile is. It's kind of that I have to pay attention to it to make it work, but it's not something hard to do.

That sounds right, semi-sextiles can be a somewhat subtle or autonomic energy which yields profound rewards when investigated. I would imagine a semi-sextile between Libra Moon and Scorpio Pluto to involve learning honesty about one's deep emotional states, learning to feel less removed from others because of one's emotional intensity, understanding it is okay to have strong emotions and emotional responses even if they are uncomfortable, and learning to find true comfort with one's passions. Most importantly though, pain and ugliness are not enjoyable, however they are often our first reaction to change. This semi-sextile could teach that trials are often uncomfortable in the beginning and avoidance of the first step (overcoming one's own aversion to change) keeps us from transformation. Transformation leads to the discovery of one's true and natural beauty (which is Libra in its highest vibration). Simply put, you could feel uncomfortable with your self when strong emotions arise in you or you are shaken by life events.

Libra Moons can be particular (in some cases, perfectionists) about what they consider comfortable, and a Pluto in Scorpio may seem a bit too intense and brooding for their balanced and symmetrical tastes. This semi-sextile could break down Libra's perfectionist spirit a bit, and allow for freedom to color outside the lines. Alternately Libra can teach Scorpio that projecting one's self in a specific way is not always a lie, but may be important for protecting and communicating our self in a relatable way. The world would be a sad place indeed if we all just wandered the streets, emotionally freaking out on each other.

Wow, lovely and apt analogies, Xiiro.

Good point there about the 12th harmonic....that Neptunian energy sneaking in connections in order to unify all into a single organism. My neighboring signs see and approach everything so differently than I do. Uncomfortably refreshing to mingle with them, like they open up new dimensions without which the experience of life can't be complete.
