Transit Saturn Sextile Mercury: The Reward of Planned Thinking

Transit Saturn sextile Mercury is a period when the mind works in an orderly, productive way and planning and learning come more easily. When Saturn forms a 60-degree angle to the natal Mercury, thought becomes concrete; an idea turns into a workable plan.

What does transit Saturn sextile Mercury bring?

During this time a person has little trouble putting complex information in order. It is a good moment to start a course, earn a professional certificate, draft a business plan or work steadily on a book or report. Negotiations run more realistically, and contracts gain clear terms.

The tone of communication matures too. Difficult subjects can be raised calmly and clearly; presenting to a manager or discussing a family matter goes more smoothly. An experienced teacher or advisor may offer valuable guidance.

How to seize the opening

A sextile rewards those who are prepared. Setting aside a short time each day for a postponed writing project, starting a language or organizing files and documents makes this period's energy tangible.

The aspect opens a window of a few weeks in a single pass; if Saturn stations retrograde at that time, it touches the same degree three times and the window stretches to several months. Saturn makes this sextile twice in its 29-year round. Ideas take shape on the approach, the time for decisions and signatures arrives at the exact aspect, and the new skill becomes habit on the way out. Matters of the houses Mercury rules can also settle into a more orderly structure.
