In astrology, the Sun is always a representation of the origin of life because it gives light and warmth; thus this object is responsible for triggering and maintaining the natural cycles on our planet, which affect all living nature, including humans.
So, the Sun is important for the Universe, and for every human being that lives in this world.
In the astrology terms, this is the interesting aspect (the sextile one) That is keeping us going forward with everything that is around us in some balance.
This is such an important to know, the art of balance, and when this balance is in jeopardy, and then everything is in “danger”.
Here, the symbol of the Sun is connected to the planet Neptune that in astrology stands as the symbol of water (the ocean, waters in general) as the source of life on Earth, as it has the capacity to change its aggregate states under the influence of heat.
You can see what an interesting relations heat and water have, or fire and water, but it is clear that these two can work well together, as a complementary relationship that gives birth to many opportunities.
Of course, here, in the positive sextile position, these two planets (we are naming the Sun also the planet, for the easer understanding), are giving the best out of themselves, and the imagination is the word that we associate with it the most, as you will be able to see.
General Characteristics
Since the planet Neptune is connected in the natal charts with the imagination, dreams and creativity, and in the lives of those who have this aspect in their charts, there is no firm and the tangible boundary between the reality and fiction.
Of course, this can sound so great, and it could be, but it can go into the other extreme, and if it does, then many problems are on the horizon.
The sextile is an aspect that connects symbolisms of the same duality and enables them to help and support one another in their expression – this is true if the sextile in the natal chart is supported with other aspects.
Here we meet a planetary combination of fiery and watery example which, through their mutual cooperation, leads to the flow of natural energy that supports growth and development.
So, it usually gives much more than it takes away, and most of it could be seen in the realm of emotions and of course a creative work.
