intersextilfælde

Intersextilfælde is a term used in astrology, primarily in Danish-language contexts, to refer to a specific type of aspect involving the sextile (60 degrees) between planets. The exact definition of intersextilfælde varies among authors and schools, and there is no single universally accepted standard. In some usages it denotes the standard sextile aspect, while in others it describes a refined or slightly different arrangement related to how two planets interact through a midpoint or intermediary factor between them.

In practice, when intersextilfælde is discussed, it is generally treated as a harmonious aspect that supports cooperation, clear communication, and practical collaboration between the planets involved. The interpretation depends on the identities of the planets, their signs, and the houses they occupy in a chart, as well as whether the aspect is applying or separating.

Calculation of the aspect follows the same method as other planetary aspects: it is the angular distance between two planets measured in degrees around the zodiac, with a small orb allowed for exactness. Typical orbs for fast-moving planets are around 4 to 6 degrees, with slowly moving planets sometimes permitted a slightly wider orb.

Applications of intersextilfælde occur in natal charts, transits, and synastry. In a natal chart, it may highlight areas where talents, opportunities, or cooperative energies can be expressed. In transit readings, it can signal times when collaborative efforts or constructive communication are favored. In relationship astrology, it can indicate compatibility in shared interests or approaches to problem solving.

Because the term is not universally standardized, practitioners may use it differently or prefer the more common sextile label. When encountering intersextilfælde, readers are advised to consult the specific astrologer’s definition and the context of the chart.
