Aspects are angles that planets make in relation to: a) one another, b) the ascendant-descendant axis, midheaven-nadir, or c) other points of astrological interest.

Traditional major/Ptolemaic/basic aspects are the ones that evenly divide the 360° circle, and are also divisible by 10.

Conjunction (☌/0°): This aspect creates a union of planets involved. The energy creates a collectively new nature of planets. All planets involved are dependent on one another, all the time. When the conjunction between two planets is exact, it is called a "partile" aspect.

The term "exact" conjunction refers to a conjunction in which the two planets are at exactly the same degree and minute of the zodiac. Because it suggests a very powerful merging of those two planets' energies, potentially amplifying their combined influence in a native's chart, a partile is thought of as very potent!

Sextile (⚹/60°): This aspect's nature is hard to crack but is helpful. It shows there is some benefit coming from the planets involved, but it might be too vague, concealed, repressed, or already taken for granted. This aspect manifests itself as guides and signals.

Square (□/90°): This is a rough aspect that shows disagreement between the planets involved. They are always in conflict, but after some time, a mutual agreement can be put forth. This aspect of conflict is always obvious and can be solved by the native, after some serious articulation. This aspect can come forward as barriers in life.

Trine (△/120°): This is the most beneficial of all aspects. It offers mutual agreement between the planets involved on a very strong level. This aspect often manifests itself as luck and fortune in native's life. The planets involved are working for the same goal and help each other constructively. Following this aspect can offer you the luckiest path in your life.

Opposition (☍/180°): This is the most difficult of all aspects. the disagreement between the planets involved is so polar, that the energy it tries to communicate can easily be repressed or compartmentalised. This aspect stays with the native almost all of their life, and can come forward in ways one can not control. Native always has to let one of the sides win, and has to pay for the other; since both are independent.
