You can do something about how you feel. The option is always there, and you forget it constantly.
What it looks like in a life
When you are upset, movement helps, and some part of you knows it: the walk, the gym, the kitchen cleaned at eleven at night. You can ask for what you want without turning it into a confrontation, which most people cannot do. You stand up for yourself in a measured way, usually a beat after the moment rather than inside it. You work well when the work matters to you emotionally and badly when it does not. Your anger is usable: it tells you something is wrong and then waits for your decision. You also let things slide for months, because nothing in you forces the issue until it has grown teeth.
The gift
Feeling and doing sit on the same line for you, so you rarely get stuck in the loop where emotion just circles itself. You can protect yourself without cruelty. You are honest about your appetites. In a partnership that makes you straightforward to be with: people know where they stand, and you do not punish anyone for failing to read your mind.
The friction
Nothing makes you use it. The connection is easy enough to ignore, so you tolerate situations well past the point where one push would have fixed them, then move all at once when the pressure finally builds. Waiting is not patience. This aspect pays the person who acts early and gives nothing to the one who waits it out.
The esoteric layer
Ptolemy called sextile signs familiar to one another because they share polarity, close enough to cooperate without merging. The number says the same thing: six is two times three, harmony built out of difference, opportunity rather than inheritance. Bailey's line on the sextile is that the skill gets built in this life instead of carried in from the last, and Mars in that system is desire being worked into will through conflict. Put those together and the offer is plain. Your instinct and your drive will work together on the days you ask them to.
Where this goes
What this looks like with another person depends on what their chart does to it, since drive and need both get negotiated with someone else's body. That is the ground a couples' synastry reading covers.
