Sixty degrees is a working distance. Nerve and optimism are on speaking terms here, but neither compels the other, so the contact declares itself only when the native decides to move. Those who use it are noticed for a particular habit: they ask. They ask for the interview, the raise, the introduction, the second date, and they ask early, when refusal costs nothing. The good fortune credited to this aspect is very largely the arithmetic of having asked more often than the people around them.
Left alone it simply sleeps. A great many people carry this sextile and never notice, because nothing in the chart forces the question and nothing goes wrong when it is unused. Such natives are pleasant, capable and mildly underemployed, and they tend to explain their flat patches by the state of the market rather than by the absence of a request. The aspect gives no discomfort to prompt development, which is why it is more often found in the charts of the contented than the accomplished.
Where it does get used, it is durable. Physical stamina recovers well, travel and study agree with the native, and risk is taken in proportion rather than in spasm. Teaching, coaching, selling and any trade that rewards steady initiative suit it. The practical advice is unglamorous: set a standing quota of attempts, weekly or monthly, and keep to it whether the mood is high or low. The sextile will meet a deliberate habit halfway every time, and it will meet a good intention not at all.

This is one line of a whole chart. The rest of it — every placement, house and aspect at once — is a birth date away.
