SUN SEXTILE PLUTO

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 Sun rules the identity, ego, individuality, power and pride, while Pluto rules transformation through destruction, only to end up in reconstruction. Pluto is powerful and behaves like plutonium, where it completely destroys only to rebuild anew. Pluto levels one thing to cause something else to rise up out of the ashes, just like the phoenix-rising arises from the ashes. Pluto destructs in order to reconstruct and there is where the transformation takes place.

I see this aspect as 'willpower' and plenty of it. The Sun naturally rules Leo who carries the motto, "I will therefore I am." Pluto is the higher octave of Mars, which the level of power involved and degree of aggression. This is no ordinary level of willpower, this is one of greatest aspects of human strength. What would take this willpower to even a higher level would be if the aspect were the Sun trine Pluto. Still, this sextile is loaded and powerful.
