The discipline of Saturn and the power of Pluto cooperate with ease, creating an individual who can integrate discipline and transformation without significant internal conflict.

This sextile suggests that structure, responsibility, limits, time, mastery and power, death and rebirth, the unconscious, regeneration support each other in your psyche. When you express one, the other naturally activates. This potential is activated through conscious effort -- the gifts are available but must be claimed through action.

The Saturn person feels that the Pluto person enhances their sense of discipline, while the Pluto person feels their transformation is validated and appreciated.
