Venus Sextile Aspects for Each Planet in the Natal Astrology Chart

Venus is the planet that rules over relationships, beauty, and pleasure. It also has a bearing on related topics such as spending money, creativity, and sexuality. A sextile to Venus in your natal astrology chart forms a harmonious blend of both planets’ energies. Some astrologers say it is similar to a trine but with slightly less power. These astrologers believe that the energy of a trine flows so easily that a person may not even be aware of its gifts. Sextiles are more like the gifts you notice because you do have to work for them a little bit.

A sextile is one of five major angles in astrology. It occurs when two planets are 60° apart in the natal astrology chart. According to many astrologers, an orb of only 3° or 4° is allowed for a sextile. Other astrologers allow for orbs of up to 10°.
