The angular distance between two planets in a birth chart is known as their aspects
a key factor in conducting an astrological analysis. Based on compiled data, astrologers can look into the aspects of a
person’s planets and reveal his or her positive and negative personality traits.
Planets are in aspect (interpretable)
when they are of a certain specific angular measurement from each other. Each aspect has a standard symbol and measurement.
Some are less noticeable than others, leading to strong, moderate and weak aspects.
Since not many planets will exactly
measure at a specific angular displacement such as 90 degrees, astrologers allow the use of orbs -- that is a number of
degrees which are either more or less than the exact aspect. The standard aspects and orbs are listed below:
