Planetary aspects

An aspect is an angular relationship between two chart positions. The separation is measured in degrees; the orb describes how far it is from the exact angle.

Common major aspects include conjunction, opposition, trine, square, sextile, and quincunx. Each uses a different exact separation, and astrologers may use different orb conventions.

Aspect calculation is mathematical. Its interpretation belongs to an astrological tradition and should be read as reflective context, not a prediction of inevitable events.
