Sun sextile Saturn or Sun trine Saturn are great time keepers, organisers and natural leaders. They inspire obedience because they exude such capable authority. The soft aspects mean that these folk were probably not brought up with too many harsh rules and regulations, but nevertheless still have experienced unspoken limits and restraints in their domestic environment.

Sun Sextile/Trine Saturn Transit
When the Sun is sextile or trine Saturn in the sky it forms a supportive wall for you to lean on when you are working hard. One feels protected and shielded from the elements. The best qualities of this aspect is its great timekeeping and scheduling abilities. Everything runs smoothly and on time. One feels supported by the universe, secure and safe. The moment is fantastic for demonstrating one’s trustworthiness and authority. This aspect provides stamina and self-discipline to get through tedious tasks.
Sometimes the father is quite cool and distant, or just has no interest in disciplining the child. In which case the mother becomes the prime authority figure. This means the child receives both affection and punishment from the same pot so to speak. No good cop/bad cop here!
Natal Sun Trine Sextile Saturn
In later life there can then be a preference for older, parental partners who can be a little stern in their affections. Sun trine Saturn, in particular, seems to need a great deal of material comfort and security from their spouse. Even with the softer aspects, there can be insecurity and craving for fame and fortune with Sun sextile Saturn or Sun trine Saturn.
First these natives have to overcome their shyness and fear of stepping out into the glaring, solar spotlight. Once these natives make that leap however, there can be no stopping them. They soon clock on to just how much people recognize their natural authoritative presence.
Bad Cop
Sometimes this sudden realisation of power can go to their heads and they can become quite bossy. Talking of ‘clocking on’, Saturn is of course associated with time, and these folk are fantastic at keeping to schedule. They also have great sense of time rhythmically, whether it is comic timing or just knowing the opportune moment to arrive at a meeting.
This aspect has the ability to be at the right place at the right time and can, therefore, strangely for Saturn, even be quite lucky. These folk pay special attention to synchronicity and often feel that many life events seem fated.
Sun Saturn Soft Aspects Examples
Meryl Streep was born with Sun Sextile Saturn and seems to have had the typical stern Saturnian upbringing of this aspect. Streep recollects her mother saying to her:
‘Meryl, you’re capable. You’re so great. You can do whatever you put your mind to. If you’re lazy, you’re not going to get it done. But if you put your mind to it, you can do anything.” ~ Wiki . As a child, Streep was quite introverted and attributes her mother with giving her the boosts of confidence she needed to succeed.
Anna Nicole-Smith was born with Sun Trine Saturn. The playboy model and TV personality was probably most famous for her very Saturnian security marriage to an 89-year-old oil tycoon. Nicole-Smith also had a son who died at aged 20. She was devastated at his death and reportedly tried to get into his coffin at his funeral because she wanted to be buried with him.
Nicole-Smith’s final partner, Howard K. Stern revealed that “Anna saw herself as both mother and father to Daniel. From the time I met her, everything was for Daniel.” [1] Daniel died of a drug overdose. Like her son Anna Nicole-Smith also died in the same manner aged 39.
I was surprised to find so much evidence of the dark side of Sun sextile Saturn or Sun trine Saturn despite the so-called ‘benefic’ connections. Possibly the ease of the trine can facilitate bad behaviour, just as easily as it can produce good. In Nicole-Smith’s case it seems she could not handle the excesses that come with fame. The material security she so craved so badly, eventually became a prison.
