Which creates a focal point and concentration of energy.Į.g. It shows a merging of different functions of our psyche. dynamic aspects (red) : Conjunction, opposition and square,Ī conjunction between two or more planets is very Picnic table (as one of my clients put it).Īspects show how planetary functions in our personality combine their characteristics with each other. The sextile symbol looks like a six-pointed star, and the rare case of six sextiles would shape a hexagon. WhenĪ square operates in a person's chart, they would feel quite some pressure and dynamic in the related areas. The square symbol looks like an equilateral square, which would be composed of 4 square aspects. This is the most stable geometric figure and also the most stable and ‘relaxed’ aspect. It is like a rope on which two parties pull.Įqually sided triangle - and in fact 3 connected trines would form such a figure. ![]() The opposition symbol looks like two poles opposing each other, which indeed is the case when two planetary energies operate in opposition. Planets in conjunction operate in fact like a union. The conjunction looks like one unified circle. They are actually quite easy to memorize: There are specific symbols related to each aspect which you find on the actual line of each aspect and in the ‘aspectarium’, the step-shaped diagram in the lower left hand corner of your birth chart. The problem with allowing big orbs and displaying all these ‘wide aspects’ is ‘not to see the forest for the trees’: It would not be very useful and rather confusing to consider too wide In the interpretation it is then easier to focus on the most important issues. In my experience, it makes sense not to allow for too big orbs, so that only relatively ‘close’ aspects = the strongest, most obvious and effective interaction of planetary functions areīeing displayed. The more tolerant the orbs are handled (= the more difference is allowed) the more aspects one comes up with in aĬhart, leading to a more differentiated and more complex interpretation of a The bigger the orb, the weaker the planetary combination. The more exact an aspect is (= the smaller the orb) the more powerful is that combination of planets in one’s chart. Therefore, astrologers allow for certain maximum degree tolerance (‘ orbs’ ) at which they still consider an aspect ![]() an exact trine would be between a Sun at 23 º Leo and a Saturn at 23 º Sagittarius). Of course, the angles between planets are rarely exact (e.g. To keep it simple, I will not introduce other minor aspects in this context. These are the most important aspects which every astrologer is familiar with. The conjunction shows planets very close to each other, like a ‘bundle’.Īnd finally there is the quincunx, an interesting aspect, with planets 5 signs apart (green). Those angles are considered significant if they are based on the division of the (360 º) circle byĢ = 180 º (red), called opposition : Planets positioned at opposite sides ģ = 120 º (blue), called trine : Planets positioned 4 signs apart Ĥ = 90 º (red), called square : Planets positioned 3 signs apart, andĦ = 60 º (blue), called sextile : Planets positioned 2 signs apart. Technically speaking, aspects are certain significant geometrical angles between planets in our birth chart. ![]() The word ‘aspects’ is derived from the Latin ‘aspectare’ which means ‘looking at each other’. They symbolize the complexity of our psyche and how its parts relate to each other. Planetary aspects are indicated by the lines from one planet to an other in your birth chart.
