Something here can be taken up or left alone. The instinct for what settles people and the instinct to enlarge a situation cooperate without merging, so the native who bothers to open the door finds it works, and the native who does not is merely cheerful and stays where they were born. Nothing insists. Many people carry this contact through an entire life and know it only as a mild disposition to expect things to turn out reasonably well, which they often do.
Used, it looks like this. Families and neighbourhoods organise around the native without being asked to. Travel goes well, foreigners are made comfortable, and the native picks up languages, customs and second homes with a facility that would be remarkable if it were ever remarked upon. Money arrives through people rather than through schemes, generally from a connection made years earlier for no reason at all. Bad times are survived because the goodwill accumulated in the good ones is still standing.
The waste is quiet and complete. Left dormant, the sextile produces an agreeable person who never quite acquired the larger life that was on offer, and who explains this by saying they were never ambitious. The remedy is deliberate and dull: keep the connections in repair, say yes to the inconvenient invitation, take the post abroad. This configuration pays back effort at a rate that surprises the native the first time, and thereafter needs no encouragement whatever.
