The sextile supplies the option and not the compulsion. A native who takes it up develops a personal style early, keeps company that would not otherwise meet, and turns out to be the friend everyone consults when they want permission to do something irregular. A native who leaves it alone lives conventionally with a faint recurring restlessness, redecorating instead of changing anything. There is no crisis either way. This is one of the easiest aspects in the chart to possess and never once use.
Its practical territory is invention applied to pleasant things. Design, arrangement, colour, music with an odd interval in it, and the trick of getting strangers to talk to each other at a table. In money it favours the unexpected line of work and the small early bet, and it rewards those who can hold a friendship and a business arrangement in the same relationship without either curdling. Attractions here cross the usual lines of age and background, and are conducted without much scandal because the native does not treat them as scandalous.
The cost is mild and worth stating. Because novelty is available whenever wanted, boredom is rarely endured, and the native may never find out what lies on the far side of a dull stretch in work or in marriage. The sextile will happily supply a new interest instead. Those who deliberately stay put through the flat years and apply the originality inside the existing arrangement, rather than by replacing it, get the best of the contact: a long life that never once went stale.
