APPENDIX 2

Effects of Various Aspects

The effects of the various aspects are as follows:

0 degrees (Conjunction). Major aspect. In fact, it is more a position rather than an aspect, but for simplicity’s sake, it is classified as an aspect. It entails a close gathering of two or more planets, ideally with the same zodiac degree. Conjunction symbolizes the cooperation of the planets, which combine their potentials and reinforce each other. Whether this has positive or negative results depends largely on the nature of the relevant planets.

60 degrees (Sextile). Major aspect. The sextile aspect involves two or more planets at an angle of 60 degrees from one another. It denotes the ability to turn intellectual understanding into productivity, to develop one’s talents, and to make use of opportunities for growth and for the fulfillment of one’s hopes and wishes. Such opportunities often arise under sextile transits.

90 degrees (Square). Major aspect. An aspect between two or more planets positioned at an angle of 90 degrees is called a square. Modern astrology regards the square as an aspect of constant inner tension, urging the individual toward action in order to relieve it. Success is frequently delayed or thwarted, either by circumstances or by inconsistent behavior, and often demands great efforts over long periods. On the positive side, the square offers numerous opportunities for learning and personal development, which are usually lacking in more harmonious aspects.
