Exact aspect

Mercury-Mars sextile
1 September 2026.

Past.

What it changes

How you think and speak · What you go after, and how you fight when you meet resistance

It works when you call on it, not on its own.

Why?
Mercury in Virgo → · Mars in Cancer →

Mercury governs… how you think and speak — the pace, the level of detail, what you keep to yourself. Mars governs… what you go after, and how you fight when you meet resistance.

It concerns you if your birthday falls…

  • 4–7 JulyMars sits on your Sun, to the degree.
  • 4–8 SeptemberMercury sits on your Sun, to the degree.

Calculated over every birth from 1920 to 2030 (Paris day): depending on the year, the Sun can be a day early or late, hence the range. Your Sun is only one point of your chart: the app also looks at the other nine, to the minute.

The angle of quiet ease: the two functions cooperate when called upon, but nothing happens by itself. An open door, not a current that carries you.

Your birthday tells where your Sun is. Your birth, to the minute, tells where the other nine are. Every morning AstroXP crosses these positions with all ten, and tells you what time it plays out for you.
