Aspects (from Latin aspectus - look) are certain angular distances between planets along the ecliptic. When planets form an aspect, they enter into energetic resonance. The main (major) aspects are: Conjunction (0°), Sextile (60°), Square (90°), Trine (120°) and Opposition (180°)...
What are aspects in astrology
Aspects (from Latin aspectus - look) are certain angular distances between planets along the ecliptic. When planets form an aspect, they enter into energetic resonance. The main (major) aspects are: Conjunction (0°), Sextile (60°), Square (90°), Trine (120°) and Opposition (180°). The permissible deviation from the exact angle is called orb.
Classification of major aspects
Connection (0°)
Maximum synthesis of two planetary energies. The nature depends on the compatibility of the planets (eg Sun-Jupiter vs Mars-Saturn).
Trine (120°)
Harmonious aspect of the element. Gives natural talents, lightness, luck and effortless flow of energy.
Sextile (60°)
Opportunity aspect. Requires conscious inclusion and minimal action to unlock success.
Quadrature (90°)
Aspect of tension and internal crisis. The main source of energy, ambition and overcoming obstacles.
Opposition (180°)
Polarity and swing between the two poles of life. Requires balance, partnership and compromise.

Frequently Asked Questions
What orb is considered accurate? ▼
An aspect with an orb of up to 1° is considered exact (partial) and has a dominant influence on fate. For luminaries, an orb of up to 8–10° is usually allowed, for planets - up to 5–7°.
What is stronger: many trines or many squares? ▼
People with only trines are often passive, because everything comes easy to them. Squares create tension that forces a person to act and achieve outstanding heights.
