Aspects

(Astrology terms)

Conjunction (Major aspect)

The conjunction - or 0 degrees - implies that the planets, whether transiting or natal, occupy approximately the same position in the chart. This is considered the strongest blend of energies represented by the two planets.

Opposition (Major aspect)

The opposition - or 180 degrees - reflects planets on opposite points of the Zodiac, or approximately 180 degrees apart. This is considered a dynamic, or difficult, aspect. The planetary energies are polarized; outer events stimulate their interaction; integration is the challenge.

Trine (Major aspect)

The trine - or 120 degrees - reflects planets in harmonious alignment with each other. This is considered flowing, or relatively easy to handle. The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is beneficial.

Square (Major aspect)

The square - or 90 degrees - is a considered a dynamic or difficult aspect. The planetary energies conflict; internal and creative tensions bring rich rewards through effort over time.

Sextile (Major aspect)

The sextile - or 60 degrees - represents one sixth of the circle, and is a flowing alignment. The planetary energies flow together, open into new possibilities, new connections.

Inconjunct (Minor aspect)

The Inconjunct of 150 degrees, which is also called a quincunx, represents an uneasy relationship between the planets. The planetary energies do not flow smoothly, one or the other predominates; discrimination must be employed.

Quintile (Minor aspect)

The quintile - of 72 degrees - or one fifth of the circle, is subtle, mystical and esoteric. The planetary energies are positively linked and spiritual in dimension.

Semi-sextile (Minor aspect)

The semi-sextile - or 30 degrees - is considered an uneasy alignment, another form of inconjunction. The planetary energies attract each other, require effort, allow entry of new information.

Semi-square (Minor aspect)

The semi-square - of 45 degrees - is a minor dynamic alignment. The planetary energies conflict in determined subtle tension; calmness is required.

Sesquiquadrate (Minor aspect)

The sesquiquadrate - or 135 degrees - is a minor dynamic alignment. The planetary energies conflict in determined subtle tension; control is required.

Bi-quintile (Minor aspect)

The bi-quintile - of 144 degrees - is double the quintile, or two fifths of the circle, and similar to the quintile is a minor flowing alignment. The planetary energies are positively linked, subtle, and spiritual in dimension.

Septile (Minor aspect)

The septile - of 51 degrees 25 minutes - representing one seventh of the circle, is a subtle and somewhat difficult alignment. The planetary energies darkly interact; incline to occult dimensions apart from socially accepted norms.

Understanding Minor Aspects

Negative aspects don’t mean the end of the world it just shows where you have challenges and need to put more of an effort into to avoid negative karma in your life. All negative aspects can be turned into something positive as they help bring insight to our weaknesses.

Quintile: - positive aspect - about 5 signs in distance. About 72 degrees. - indicates unnoticed talent, skills, and other abilities in the individual. Pure god-given talent that the native can unknowingly harness. New opportunities.

Septile: - positive aspect - about 7 signs in distance - our imaginative prowess; where we achieve inspiration, intuition, creativity and originality. How we experiment and how we find versatility in our life. Shows the native’s natural imaginative instincts that can’t be pushed away by age or stress.

Novile: - positive aspect - about 9 signs in distance - how we mature and the benefits we receive from maturing. Good karma from past endeavors will finally be received in this manner.

Quincunx/Inconjunction: - about 150 degrees. Involves non complementary elements. Fire/Earth. Earth/Air. Water/Fire. Water/Air. - negative aspect - similar to semi-sextile - little quirks in the personality and attitude towards life. Little fears and weaknesses embedded in our mind. Our responsibilities, our minor challenges that can have big effects on our life if we don’t take control of them. Can be positive if harnessed properly.

Semi-Sextile: - about 30 degrees. Involves non complementary elements. Fire/Earth. Earth/Air. Water/Fire. Water/Air. - negative aspect - similar to quincunx/inconjunct - a very solid description of the semi-sextile is “It seems to entail a struggle to evolve and grow out of old patterns of behavior” — livingmoonastrology

Semi-Square: - about 45 degrees - negative aspect - similar to sesqui-square - situations that cause frustration and irritation. What really irks us deep down. What makes us feel belittled and disrespected and what unnerves us. How we fail to improve. Where we lack confidence. Where we have inferiority complex. Bad habits and lifestyle. Needs fixing. In modern words, this is what has us shook.

Sesqui-square/Sesqui-Quadrate/ses-square: - about 135 degrees - negative aspect - moving forward with stress and inconsistencies. Imbalance in natural behavior and life patterns. Agressions. Like a quincunx that was allowed to grow for too long without fixing it; this aspect is something we need to not only harness but to completely make a turn-around in for better karma in life. Where we need to move forward with less stress and inconsistencies.

When dealing with any type of aspect (major or minor) I personally do not care much for orbs as I have found no evidence of them having relevance to the strength and weakness of an aspect, something many astrologers have noticed themselves. You may or may not relate to Minor Aspects at all because of the orb of influence it has (or does not have).

hi i just have a question that i cant seem to find the answer to, but how exactly do aspects work? its bothering me that i don't have mars square pluto BUT i have moon square pluto and both my moon and mars are in virgo while my pluto is sagittarius, so wouldn't my mars square my pluto as well? would i technically have mars square pluto despite astrology sites never showing that aspect existing for me? every site shows moon squaring my pluto but not mars. i want to know what i'm missing here lol

Okay soIt’s within degrees not signs.So, maybe it’s in a degree outside of this.However, there are things called “semi-squares” which usually lie in areas like theseThey seldom show up on astrology sites, however, they take the influence of the natal square and tone it down.

So Pluto Semi-Square Mars would likely make your libido very high, to the point of personal struggle, but may not affect those around you. Where as Pluto Square Mars may have an extreme libido, to the point of manipulating people or situations in order to lead them to some dick.Semi-Square Mars is also manipulative, but often for competitive reasons.

what are 'hard' and 'soft' aspects??? im confused 💩

Opposition, square, quincunx (minor), semi-square (minor) are considered to be hard aspects Hard aspects are more difficult to deal with because either the energy clashes with each other (square) or they’re too different and one could end up being neglected (opposition). With hard aspects, one would have to find balance.

Trine, sexile, and semi-sexile (minor) are considered to be harmonious aspectsHarmonious aspect are generally positive because the two energies work together. But too many harmony can make a person unmotivated. Trines are always present, they’re fused into your personality. Sexiles come out when you need to use them

Conjunctions can be either positive or negative, it’s two energies blending and becoming one.

But no matter the aspect, it always has the potential to be a positive or negative influence. Hard aspects builds character and if balance is found, it can turn to a positive influence. Harmonious aspects can make somebody indulge to an unhealthy level and can become lazy.
