MOON SEXTILE MARS
This is an easy aspect showing cooperation between two planets which leads to opportunity. It has a positive blending effect on the planets. Sextiles are considered a "soft" or "easy" aspects that reflect the planets involved. They have a way of delivering you an opportunity. It's as if the phone is ringing or there is a knock at the door. Again, it is your choice to answer the opportunity. Opportunities can reveal themselves under the strangest of circumstances.
It is important to understand that the Moon rules the home and the family. It also rules the emotions, feelings, sensitivities and moods, while Mars is busy, hyper and action-oriented. The Moon is emotional, while Mars is assertive, aggressive and competitive. This aspect reminds of the bratty spoiled child who throws a temper tantrum if they do not get their way.
This aspect reveals the emotional force that it will take in order to carry out projects, tasks or challenges to completion and success. It is difficult not to win when this sextile is present. This placement is enterprising, it is energetic and it is all about winning and making money. Have you ever heard the phrase, "If it isn't a hell no, then it's a hell yeah!" Well this aspect is a, "Hell Yeah!"
It is interesting that with Mars involved that there is not a fight waiting to happen because Mars is the warrior, but with this placement, Mars does not want to fight, it just wants to win. Any underlying desire to fight will be kept under calm control because this aspect does not want to fight or argue with people.
The energy behind this placement is infectious, contagious and personable. This aspect definitely plays well with others, as it is enthusiastic, which causes people to respond well in return. There is eagerness and excitement, along with impulsiveness that accompanies this energy. People respect those with this aspect in their chart.
Even though this aspect is impulsive in nature, there is a sense of respect that comes with it. Even if the individual loses their cool, they will not hold a grudge and they will choose to work out their issues maturely and move on.
