FAQ

What does a sextile mean here?

A sextile is a 60° supportive link between planets. With Jupiter and Pluto, it offers constructive chances to grow through strategy, research, and ethical power. It’s helpful but not automatic—you must act.

What orb should I use for Jupiter sextile Pluto?

In natal charts, ~4–6° is a practical orb; tighter feels stronger. In transits, 2–3° from exact is where you’ll notice clear events, with a wider background influence.

How often does the transit happen and how long does it last?

Jupiter cycles ~12 years; when it sextiles slow-moving Pluto, you typically get 2–3 exact hits over several months due to retrogrades. Effects cluster around those dates and any angle to your personal planets/points.

How is this different from the trine?

The trine is more effortless; the sextile is opportunity that rewards initiative. With the sextile, plan and push—don’t wait.

What if I don’t have this natally?

No problem. You can still use the transit windows, especially when they connect to your chart angles or personal planets. Check your free birth chart and current transits.
