Well let's see I have sun in Virgo semi sextile Mercury and Jupiter in Libra.
The sun is saying, I want to use your energy but it doesn't really fit into the world of Virgo because you are the sign right next to it and it's like taking a step backwards for you. You aren't going to feel comfortable devolving, are you?The sun feels like the Libra energy is out of sync, it doesn't feel natural because Virgo hasn't reached Libra's stage yet, doesn't behave like Libra. Libra wants to be a partner, Virgo is used to role as servant, not stepping up and demanding equality, which is Libra's role. IP: Logged |

I like what SSS said. You can also think of them as neighbours! Are you friends with your neighbours? Do you know what it's like inside their house, inside their lives, etc.? It's similar with the planets involved in a semisextile. It is a subtle aspect and tends to play out more when you actively try to use it.  IP: Logged |

I think what semi-sextiles, sextiles, and the rest of the -tile aspects have in common is an on/off switch. Maybe that's because the sign combinations don't create enough tension to activate automatically. Anyway, in my opinion semi-sextiles have a soft/hard quality. It really depends on the planets and signs. In that way they're a lot like quincunxes. I think when two planets are semi-sextile they want to be of use to each other. That could be a good thing or a bad thing.In my opinion any aspect can be powerful if it's in tight orb and between two inner or otherwise important planets. There are of course other things that could strengthen the aspect, like if the planets were in declination. My brother has his Sun and Moon in mutual reception and even though the semi-sextile he has between them is loose it's quite powerful. I remember reading a description of semi-sextiles once and remember thinking that his entire personality is like a giant semi-sextile. So I do think they can occasionally be very important.

Ok, well, this is my two cents worth regardin semisextiles - There is a potential for the 2 planets involved to achieve an intimate and harmonious connection, but it does not happen effortlessly like in the trine, and opportunities are not handed to you either like in a sextile. Instead, all you have to work with is a sense of curiousity which creates an invitation in your mind (or minds if in synastry) to integrate the energies. The problem with this aspect is centred around your capacity (or lack thereof) to maintain your focus on what you are doing . No matter how curious you are to see what positive potential there is in the aspect, this bud won’t bloom into anything without you being able to sustain your awareness of it. You need to give it the appropriate attention and have a willingness to put effort into integrating the contrasting modalities of the neighboring signs so that each functions effectively. This can be hard work as these are latent energies which require preparation. Like ... you are sitting on the shore and want to go sailing, but you have to take the boat off the trailer and rig it up first and that seems like too much hard work so maybe you can’t be bothered and you don’t feel like it .... but if you do it anyway you feel fantastic once you are on the water and wonder why you were so reluctant? Making that first move is hard with the semisextile, almost like a chore, but once you get going it is wonderful and increases your awareness and appreciation of life’s complexities and subtleties. As one website puts it “. A semi-sextile is somewhat comparable to the pearl within an oyster. The oyster itself is illusive and then once you have it you still have to dig to get the benefit.” .. . but as long as you maintain your focus and do the groundwork you will find that you are actually rather good at bringing the energies together.So ... sun semi-sextile Mercury and Jupiter ... would mean that you have an interest and a curiousity in philosophy/religion/spirituality, but it seems like a mammoth task to organise yourself to get started on tackling whatever it is about this that interests you. You need to stop waiting around for everything to magically fall into your lap and just make a start .... and even if you don't seem to be getting anywhere in the beginning, keep your focus, don't drop the ball. The result - you will find with time you are rather good at it ... your confidence in your mental abilities will increase and you will become skillful and influencing people with your wealth of knowledge and educated point of view.IP: Logged |

Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. It's just a working theory but I've noticed it's something sextiles, semi-sextiles, quintiles, and biquintiles all have in common. I think there are other minor aspects that end with -tile but I don't know much about them.

^I'd say that's worth a lot more than two cents.
