Astrological Aspects

Aspects are the conversations between planets. Two planets in your chart at a specific geometric angle will always be talking to each other — sometimes cooperating, sometimes fighting, always informing how you act. These are the major contacts between the planets and what each one actually does.

The Five Major Aspects

Conjunction

Two planets occupying the same degree — their energies fuse into a single signal.

Opposition

180°

Two planets facing each other across the chart — tension that asks for integration.

Square

Trine

Two planets in natural flow — native talent, often underused because it feels easy.

Sextile
