January 4th, 4:35pm CT
Felt from December 29th until January 10th
This is the time to get things done. Order (Saturn) has come to our sense of identity (Sun). We are good internally, so we can now focus on the work. You can expect to be more disciplined and considerate towards yourself. All of those crazy thoughts and dreams you have about achieving big things so you finally feel content and accomplished will calm down and leave you room to breathe and enjoy life.
During this time your vision of the future is realistic. If there is a dream still nagging on you, it means it's possible to achieve it. Say goodbye to illusions of grandeur, and welcome the sense of self. No imposter syndrome or messiah syndrome, just reality and your work.
This is an excellent time to seek advice from an older person or someone whose wisdom and experience you respect. Saturn represents tradition and the elderly, while Sun is guidance and wisdom.

'Not Like Everyone Else'
Sometimes we want to be like others, and sometimes we want to distinguish ourselves - depends on the situation. While the Sun-Saturn sextile is in the sky, we have the opportunity to take the best out of our community, to perfectly fit in, and do all the right things while preserving, and even enhancing our authenticity. Measured (Saturn) self-expression (Sun).
With the talent to measure yourself also comes the ability to be weird, and even crazy at times if it will benefit you. If the soul is not ordered like it is under the Sun-Saturn sextile, behavior that is outside the norm can be dangerous. You can get lost. But right now, a bit of recklessness is possible and even encouraged. We can take a look at some people who are extremely stable according to their peers, but their 'stage presence' is one of a 'lunatic.'
There is Weird Al Yankovic, who is by all accounts a very level-headed and chill guy, but he invented a persona that is, well, weird to the core. Then we have Johnny Knoxville, who is essentially one of the core members of the modern-day clown ensemble Jackass. However, he is a bit different because his person outside of the show is calm compared to the rest of the cast. There is Bill Burr, a comedian whose whole thing is getting extremely annoyed and angry, but by all accounts, he is a very level-headed person in person. Also, an interesting example, Rowan Atkinson, who plays Mr. Bean, the biggest silly conniving weirdo television has ever seen. But Mr. Atkinson is an Oxford alumnus, having a degree in electrical engineering of all things.
Then we come to an interesting person, Kim Jong-un. He is currently a North Korean dictator. His education was in Europe and while he was always reclusive, people who knew him liked his personality. But North Korea is in a precarious position, its economy completely depends on US aid. Their whole schtick is that they scare the world with their nuclear power, threaten the world, get aid not to do anything, make peace with the world, and when funds dry out, they threaten the world again. So once more we have a 'normal' person who has to play the role of a clown, a silly nuclear rocket man.
We have to mention two more people Jake Paul and Kanye West. Both of them are very confident (Sun) people who know how to play the public to garner interest and thus money and influence (Saturn). People with Sun-Sextile aspects feel like they are one with the people like their struggles are common, however, that is rarely the case. Nevertheless, their public image, which they handle so well, will often have them as someone highly relatable. Eric Cantona is a French soccer player who played for Manchester United in the 90s, he was considered one of the best. However, he also has a reputation as a troublemaker - aggression on the field fights with the officials, and tantrums left and right. But according to his work colleagues, he is one of the most stable people they have ever met. Eric garnered attention and notoriety so he could intimidate opponents and be more energetic in the attack.
Alejandro Jodorowsky, one of my favorite people in the world, filmmaker, and author has a reputation as a lunatic as well. His work is full of weird symbology and he is always bursting with unconventional ideas. However, he is always the same, unchanging, and despite his eccentricity predictable.
Grounded in Work
Take control of this moment because what you do now will strengthen you for adversity later. Not just in discipline around your work, but it will strengthen your resolve forever. You are more patient right now, so why not use it for the things that matter and that require a lot of concentration?
Work shouldn't be pleasurable because of its outcome, the product of its creation, but because of the process. However, that is rare. And this is one of those times you can work and learn how to enjoy it more. There was once this one fellow who enjoyed his work a lot, he had a Sun-Saturn sextile in his chart. He believed everyone should enjoy their work and own their labor and the product of the same. His name is Karl Marx. But it's not that simple, Mr. Marx. We don't live in the ideal world and many people don't want the responsibility that comes with owning labor and its product. Maybe in the future, who knows? And of course, during this time when we have Sun-Saturn in the sky.
People who had to mobilize their country or community in the face of danger often have this aspect. Like Winston Churchill, Alexander the Great, Mahatma Gandhi, or Catherine the Great. But there is also a shadow side to this aspect, where it is hard to let go of the power because you enjoy the 'order' your presence creates. In this category, I would place Queen Victoria, Francisco Franco, Caligula, and Benito Mussolini.
We also have Erwin Rommel with this aspect, one of the generals who plotted the assassination of the famous German dictator. And I find that his story illustrates many important points of the Sun-Saturn sextile. In the beginning, he was an admirer of German unification and growth efforts because this sextile loves order and unity. They love work and the order it provides, not just the end product. But at the same time, Sun-Saturn sextile despises insanity and recklessness, and those were the characteristics of the German state and her dictator by the end of the war that prompted Mr. Rommel to do something radical.
