☉ ✶ ⚷︎ Sun sextile Chiron

Sun sextile Chiron is a natal aspect where your sense of identity and purpose (the Sun) forms an easy, 60-degree link with the place where an old wound meets its healing wisdom (Chiron). It suggests that your sense of self can grow stronger by turning your own pain into understanding you can offer others. The connection is gentle and opportunity-based, so it tends to reward the willingness to look at what hurt you and to use that experience with intention.

A sextile is an angle of 60° between two planets: an easy opening between the two planets that rewards effort. Here it links the Sun, about identity, vitality and life purpose, with Chiron, about the old wound and the wisdom that comes from healing it. We count it when the angle is within 3.75° of exact, a smaller orb because Chiron is a minor body; the closer it is, the stronger it feels.
