Black bird, fly

When looking at aspects between planets, we must look at three things; the polarities, the nature of the individual planets and the potency of the aspects themselves.

Positive:

Trine (most potent)

Sextile (must be called upon)

Semi Sextile (less potent version of Sextile)

Neutral:

Conjunction (Most potent aspect in general and interpretation relies heavily on the relationship between the planets)

Negative:

Square (most challenging/potent)

Opposition (the energies pull away from each other)

Semi-Square (less potent version of Square)
