These two have held a sextile for long stretches, through much of the 1980s and again around the turn of the century, and everyone born in those years carries it. That should temper any claim made for it. A sextile is an offer rather than a fact, and an offer extended to a whole generation is easy to leave unopened. Nothing here will announce itself. Natives with no personal planet in contact may live an entire life without the aspect surfacing in any way they would recognise as their own.
Where it does surface, it gives a rare and useful combination: the ability to change something fundamental without breaking everything around it. Such natives can leave a marriage, a faith or a profession decisively and without scorched ground, and they can help institutions do the same. Timing is the talent. They tend to move at the moment the structure is already weakening, which looks like luck and is closer to instinct. Nothing about this is dramatic, which is one reason it is so often overlooked by its owner.
The house shows where the offer lies. In the second it is a capacity to rebuild one's finances from the ground more than once. In the seventh, partnerships that survive being remade. In the ninth, a worldview capable of substantial revision without collapse. The activating factor is almost always a personal planet within a few degrees, or an angle. Failing that, the reader should be told plainly that they share this with a decade of contemporaries and that it will do nothing whatever unless deliberately used.
