Venus – Ascendant Sextile – Beauty Saves the World

Venus is responsible for the capacity to love and to accept love in return, for the pleasures and blessings of life, the ability to enjoy and rejoice in the world, and also for attracting wealth. A harmonious aspect, such as a sextile to the Ascendant (which symbolizes the active principle for advancement in society), bestows a unique charm and the ability to express oneself harmoniously in any environment. The native loves to be liked and strives to develop all qualities that inspire affection in others.

The native is a musical, graceful optimist with refined manners and an enveloping voice, who naturally inspires admiration in others – even during casual conversation. However, those excessively blessed by the goddess of love may fall into the trap of laziness, taking the fruits of their karma for granted, which can lead to stagnation, overindulgence, and dependence on physical pleasure.

The Influence of the Venus – Ascendant Sextile on Destiny

Natives with this aspect are almost always in a consistently positive and benevolent mood. They are unfazed by changes in weather, their boss’s bad mood, or traffic jams. As a result, people are drawn to the native’s warm, harmonious aura, soaking up their zest for life and kindness. Venus – Ascendant sextile natives inspire others to give gifts, grant raises, and offer small surprises, even without asking. Their unique quality is not being passive recipients, but passing kindness forward.

Siblings play a significant role on the path to social success, especially if the Third House is involved, and romantic relationships can foster career advancement and self-development in positive ways.

Regardless of gender, natives with this aspect learn from those they love, absorbing their knowledge and experience, while rejecting the role of a mere dependent or “kept” person. Venus in the Third or Fifth House also indicates musical, acting, or singing talent. Other characteristic features of the Venus – Ascendant sextile include:

• attractive facial features, full lips, a radiant warm gaze, a rounded, harmonious figure;
• kindness, a desire to make the best impression, and in youth, sometimes an overly eager-to-please or accommodating social mask;
• confidence in their own appearance and talents, courtly manners with the opposite sex, and an emphasis on displaying femininity or masculinity through clothing, hairstyle, and demeanor;
• a need for fun, entertainment, social gatherings, public appearances, and applause;
• a love for luxurious, stylish objects, furnishings, prestigious homes, and cars;
• laziness, self-indulgence, and a fear of physical effort or overcoming obstacles – on a lower level of spiritual development.

The only real obstacle to a triumphant ascent in the arts, diplomacy, beauty industry, or sports is a lack of moderation in pleasure-seeking at the expense of work or self-development.

Love and Marriage with the Venus – Ascendant Sextile

In 90% of cases, this aspect brings happiness in love: women under its influence fully embody their purpose, radiating beauty and unafraid to showcase their talents, while men are considerate suitors who respect the feminine principle.

Yet, many romances do not always lead to a happy marriage. Natives with the Venus – Ascendant sextile will not tolerate being forbidden to shine in society or enjoy flirtation. They can be faithful, but the experience of being desired and sexually attractive fosters inner confidence and fuels their creative energy.

Thus, even if a beloved partner tries to keep the native at home or asks them to tone down their brightness and allure, the native will choose freedom. Usually, however, under the spell of Venus, partners are willing to accept all their conditions.

Enhancing the Venus – Ascendant Sextile with Talisman Stones

Extraordinary beauty enables the native to achieve success in show business with ease -think of Angelina Jolie, Jessica Alba, Elizabeth Taylor, or Kim Kardashian. Yet, even in business, those with this aspect tend to be just a bit more successful than those who do not have it. They are also wonderful peacemakers and diplomats who see their mission as transforming the world – improving both the environment and the lives of the disadvantaged.

Natural stones attuned to the astrological energies of the Venus – Ascendant sextile can help the native overcome their main pitfalls – laziness and excessive indulgence. When choosing a stone, it is important to consider the element of the sign where Venus is located:

Fire – red and watermelon tourmaline, tsavorite, green garnet, peridot, turquoise, charoite;

Earth – dioptase, chrysocolla, jadeite, green tourmaline, jasper, quartz, rhodonite;

Water – pink coral and pearl, aquamarine, chalcedony (cacholong), seraphinite;

Air – malachite, rose quartz, chrysoprase, demantoid, amazonite;

The best metal for the setting is rose gold, and rings with these stones are best worn on the middle finger or the pinky. Jewelry featuring diamonds is also a universal talisman of strength for a Venus – Ascendant sextile.  ✓
