This is what I retrived from yahoo

Grand Sextiles are very rare. It's usually two grand trines that overlap. It also depends where the sextiles are located.
It involves 6 planets found at 6 different points in a chart that all sextile one another. In addition there must be 3 oppositions that form it also.
Usually it means two souls that can tap into one dynamic source to come up with creative solutions. This is pretty powerful. It can mean the building of a new business relationship that will make millions or can be the love affair of a lifetime.
the downside is that the people involved tend to give up too early on something that will help them in the long run. Life is too easy for them sometimes. It's a bit similiar to a Grand Trine but double it.
Trust me it's special.

my question is can I use the astroids to complete the grand sextile and square?

does it make it just as powerful or less?

Asteroids can be wonderful tools for exploring deeper within our charts...
They are considered however just 10% the strength of a planet.
Here Is A Complete List Of The 10,000+ To Choose From, as Well As Their Corresponding #s to pump into any good Astro Program or online at "astro.com", etc.

You may find this list most appropriate for the situation at hand:
Love, Romance, and Synastry Asteroids

I hope this has helped to give you a better understanding of the questions you pondered? If I've bummed you out in any way, I'm sorry... My intention is only to help you learn to use these tools of astrology to your own maximum benefit.

Using Asteroids In Your Charts

Basic Application Rules:

1] Orbs should be at the very least 3 degrees to even consider.
[I prefer to use 2 degrees for a personal chart, and just 1 degree for a synastry chart]

2] Name Asteroids can be very beneficial because asteroids affect
stronger through name frequency than through gravity. Look for these first!
[ei: If your name is "Yvonne" check out this one! "Yvonne (1301)"]

3] It is counter productive [ei: a waste of time] to compare Asteroids of one theme to asteroids of another, unless they represent the same effect.
Example: SIVA conjunct ANUBIS or OSIRIS has a valid meaning but SIVA conjunct HERA is senseless. HYGIEA conjunct HORUS is senseless but HYGIEA conjunct CHIRON or even SEKHMET has loads of meaning.

4] It is a total waste of time to look at every asteroid in your chart. There are way to many and it would take your entire physical lifetime to actual do this, even briefly.
-Rather choose a theme that you find connects with you in someway [or] a theme that you really are interested in exploring.
Then that theme's asteroid list should be very thoroughly investigated, right down to every planetary aspect and every Sabian Symbol degree.

5] Remember they are just 10% the strength compared to planets in effect.

And YFIS is very right about asteroid inclusions for aspect configurations. And they do represent perhaps 10% of the power of a Planet. Some posters on this site are so asteroid crazy they don't know the rules or definitions of chart reading using the planets.getting the basics down so to speak before moving on to asteroid study....I see this frequently. I assumed you are not one of those people, and realized that.
