Astrological Aspects Guide
Aspects are the geometric relationships between planets that bring your birth chart to life. Learn what each aspect means and explore detailed guides for the most important planetary combinations.
Aspect Types
Conjunction
0° · Orb: ±8° · neutral
Two planets at the same degree, merging into one concentrated force. Most powerful aspect in the whole system. Whether that power feels good or painful depends entirely on which planets are involved. ...
Sextile
60° · Orb: ±4° · harmonious
Connects planets in compatible elements (fire with air, earth with water), creating opportunities you have to actually reach for. Unlike the trine, nothing gets handed to you. The sextile opens doors,...
Square
90° · Orb: ±7° · challenging
Ninety degrees of pure friction between planets in signs that share a modality but clash in element. This is the aspect that keeps you up at night, the internal tug-of-war between two parts of yoursel...
Trine
120° · Orb: ±7° · harmonious
Same element, natural flow. Trines connect planets that just get along, creating innate talents and areas where life comes easy. The catch? Easy can become lazy. Because things flow without effort, yo...
Opposition
180° · Orb: ±8° · challenging
Two planets staring at each other from opposite sides of the chart, creating an axis of tension and awareness. Here's what's different from squares: oppositions tend to play out through other people. ...
Quincunx
150° · Orb: ±3° · challenging
The quincunx (some call it the inconjunct) connects signs that share absolutely nothing: different element, different modality, different polarity. It's like trying to jam two puzzle pieces together t...
Semi-Sextile
30° · Orb: ±2° · neutral
Adjacent signs with nothing in common: different element, modality, polarity. Like roommates who didn't choose each other but have to coexist. The awareness between the two energies is subtle, more of...
