#semi-sextile

conjunction the line between who you are and what you say has completely vanished. your body and your mind are in a total fusion where every thought you have is immediately visible in the way you move and breathe. you are the person who doesn't just speak information; you are the information. you possess a restless electric energy that makes sitting still feel like a slow death. your identity is a never ending conversation with the world. you find your power when you realize that your voice is the actual steering wheel of your destiny and that you were born to turn your presence into a manifesto of the truth.

opposition a permanent tug of war between your private self and the noise of your environment. you often feel like your reputation and your real truth are speaking two different languages. it feels like a high stakes negotiation every time you try to explain who you are because you’re terrified of being boxed in by a labels. you might spend the first half of your life staying silent to avoid conflict and the second half realizing that your silence was a cage. your growth happens when you stop seeing the world’s opinion as a threat to your grit and realize that the bridge between your head and your heart is meant to be walked in both directions.

trine being yourself and being understood are parts of the same easy rhythm. you have this natural way of walking into a room and having people instinctively get what you’re about without you having to over explain. you don't have to scream to be heard because your intelligence is written into your skin. for you learning and moving are just the background music of a life lived with total curiosity. you find that the right words and the right connections show up exactly when you need them because you move with the confidence of a person who knows their mind is their greatest asset.

square there is a constant friction that keeps your nervous system on edge. you might feel like you’re always being misunderstood or that the people around you are trying to edit your voice. this tension acts like a drill sergeant forcing you to sharpen your logic and your nerve. every time someone tries to shut you down you use that heat as fuel to go out and speak louder. your identity is a hard won victory and you realize that the most valuable thing you own is the fact that you survived the struggle to finally say here i am and have the world actually listen.

sextile you possess a knack for turning a random conversation into a life changing opportunity. it is a friendly connection where your curiosity leads straight to your personal growth. you’re the person who finds the hidden door in a simple chat with a neighbor or the one who realizes a short trip can actually redefine their whole path. you find your clarity when you stay open to the local noise. your identity and your intellect get along because you are willing to put in the work to make the most of every spark of insight you get from the world around you.

inconjunct it feels like two people speaking different dialects in the same skin. you are constantly having to adjust your tone to fit the room or shifting your identity to match what you think people expect to hear. there is a bit of a disconnect that makes you feel like you are always missing the right words at the right time. you might find yourself overthinking a text for an hour or feeling like your daily life doesn't really represent the deep soul you carry inside. you find your peace when you stop trying to be perfectly logical and just learn to navigate the gap with a bit of honesty.

quintile you have a weird brilliant way of communicating that nobody else could ever copy. your self worth is tied to your original perspective and the way you connect dots that everyone else missed. you are the one who finds the loophole in a conversation or the creative shortcut to being known. you don't follow the standard rules of social interaction because you are too busy building a language that only you can speak. your value is in your specific brand of genius and you find your best luck when you are being as unconventional and as authentic as possible.

semi-sextile there is a quiet persistent itch to always be learning a little more about who you are. it is a micro adjustment of your life where you are constantly checking in on your thoughts and your physical presence. it doesn't feel like a crisis but more like a nagging feeling that you need to be a bit sharper or more present in the now. you find your ground through the small wins and the tiny habits that eventually build up into a personality you can actually trust. you learn that the details of your daily life are where your real power is hidden.

semi-square you deal with these small sudden mental blocks that keep you from feeling completely certain. it might be a sudden argument or a moment of self doubt that hits right when you’re about to speak your truth. it is a test of your patience and your grit. you find your strength when you realize that these little bumps in the road aren't there to stop you but to make you pay more attention to the way you are presenting yourself to the world. you are learning to stay steady even when the noise of the crowd gets a little too loud.

============================

Thank you for your time I really appreciate the response from you this definitely helps me understand myself better as well as the deeper understanding of astrology itself!

============================

Omg, I love using astrology to understand myself as well!! No problem <3.

The asteroid Aphrodite signifies your beauty, fertility, love and passion, similar to the Goddess Aphrodite.

Astro Readings | Tip Me

______________________________________________________________

Asteroid Aphrodite in Capricorn [18*]: Your beauty shines with your properness, and maturity. You look mature, refined, and have an elegant energy about you. You have an abundance of masculine but feminine energy, and you may love a more old-money, fresh linen style. Your knees, bones, skin, and teeth may be the most prominent and beautiful features about you [Capricorn rules the bones]. When it comes to love, or your "type" you have incredibly high standards. You mainly stay away from people who haven't earned prestige, or who don't value education. Loyalty and commitment is your utmost priority; however for people to have your loyalty, they MUST earn it. The 18th degree indicates that you have the qualities of a Virgo [the maiden] as well. However, the 18th degree indicates various troubles, health issues, and troubles; in this case, in your beauty, love, passion, or fertility [there's various remedies for this however, I linked something below]

Asteroid Aphrodite in 8th house: You naturally radiate a sexy, and transformative aura in addition to your capricorny and virgo aura. However, this indicates you may experience intense and transformative relationships that awaken your inner beauty and desires. Be cautious of manipulation or unhealthy attachments in your intimate relationships.

Aspects:

Aphrodite inconjunct Jupiter: There is a lack of harmony between your sensuality, love, passion, and beauty and your expansion, knowledge, spirituality and morality; creating tension and imbalance. Who you fall in love with, or develop passion towards may be immoral people, who inherently go against your values, but you simply can't resist. You may have been forced to hold back your passion and love, because of your spiritual community, or your faith. You may have been shamed for your sensuality. It's hard for you to improve or expand in your areas of Aphrodite. You may think that knowledge and beauty can't coexist as well. [I usually ignore inconjuncts, so it was really really interesting for me to learn about them, and interpret this aspect]

Aphrodite semi-sextile Pluto: There is integration and creation, but a subtle friction between your sensuality, love, passion, and beauty and your decision making, renewal, rebirth, spiritual growth, and endings/new beginnings. Your passion and love experiences can create endings and rebirths that acts as a huge transformative force for you. But, at the same time, there is a bit of friction, it may take a bit of effort for Pluto to get you to come to your senses and change in your love, passion, and sensuality.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUN CONJUNCT PLUTO

Sun conjunct Pluto: When Pluto is conjunct with the sun in your natal chart, this aspect gives you a strong sense of personal destiny, as well as an empowered capacity to bring it about through the force of your personality and personal drive. You have an ability to penetrate to the depths of whatever fascinates you—becoming consumed with learning the skills needed for the vocational path you feel called to. You will also be drawn toward forming intense relationships with powerful figures, whether in your personal life or through historical study, who represent whatever role or field of knowledge you are interested in. You have an ability to manipulate situations toward your own advantage. You need to be careful of not becoming overly controlling and manipulative in your personal relationships. One of your parents, in particular a father figure, may have played a larger than life role in your development leading to a need for you to transform your relationship to their influence as you age. As part of your growth and development, you will enter periods of intense catharsis and upheaval that lead to important regeneration and self-realization.

As for the degrees, the degrees affect your expression of the sign itself. Degrees only affect the aspect itself; the reason they're conjunct is because your Sun and Pluto are within 10 degrees of each other.

❦ conjunction - one of the strongest aspect in astrology, creates a vastly powerful link between to planets, most likely mean that they're under the same sign if they're conjuncting, very variable in influence, as well as highly dependent on the nature of the planets involved, for example, mars conjunct jupiter; conjunction implies the start of new cycles of experience, along with new beginnings. very mechanical, unaware combining, or you could say unconscious combining that include two parts of the psyche, most likely unexamined or unnoticed. (ANGLE 0, ORB 9 & NO FAMILY)

❦ trine - can become very easy going to the point that it is too much; however, the aspect is valuable, flowing and aiding. however, having this aspect could imply you can take things for granted therefore becoming lazy. balance, fairness, harmony, rest and passive receptivity; on the other hand this can make you fall into old habits, because of lack of awareness and because of that, it'll be difficult to break out of it, unless there are hard aspects like square and opposition etc. people with many trines rely on luck, usually dumb luck and let everything comes to them, usually works out. (ANGLE 120, ORB 9 & IN FAMILY 3)

❦ sextile - is a very positive aspect, it is optimistic and effective. however, to allow this aspect to work, you're going to have to put effort. majority of the time is works positively well, but this aspect is like a hit or miss, for example with neptune sextile mercury, you can be someone who can entrance people with the way you word things or people might see you as someone who doesnt speak the truth, because you dont; but it works 99.9% of the times, a very easy flowing aspect. (ANGLE 60, ORB 6 & IN FAMILY 3)

❦ square - well, this aspect is seen as difficult, therefore giving stress and conflict. one planet's plans seems to cross purposes with another planet, example given, venus square jupiter: not being able to give the amount of love you wish you could, or not being that optimistic about love. and it leads to conflict and disagreement, it is an uneasy combination, during the plans it has to be proved and modified, there is tension within it along with resistance. often describing parts of the traits that are at odds with one another. (ANGLE 90, ORB 9 & IN FAMILY 2)

❦ opposition - very conflicting because the planets involved become polar opposites, like mars opposition venus; a very tense disagreement, due to dealing with the opposite, it gives them great awareness, there is a lot of projection, seeing hidden parts of a planet's ego, very challenging aspect but it makes one planet understand the other planet more due to self-awareness. (ANGLE 180, ORB 9 & IN FAMILY 2)

❦ semi-sextile - typically a good and effective aspect, most likely combines planets in incompatible signs, like, mars in capricorn semi-sextile saturn in leo and because of the incompatibleness, the relationship between the two feels very forced. thus leading to difficulties that are frustrating, or choices where nothings wins, the issues are typically rational. (ANGLE 30, ORB 4 & IN FAMILY 3)

❦ semi-square/octile - a stressful aspect, normally brings agitation, one's choice brings numbers of circumstances, like the butterfly effect going wrong, it shows our weaknesses along with the planets' weaknesses, but shows us that the planets are working together in its own way. (ANGLE 45, ORB 4 & IN FAMILY 2)

❦ quintile - the strongest in the five family aspects (FAMILY 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5) an aspect that pushes you to overcome problems creatively. with the use of intellect and imagination to break through the limitations, a very eccentric aspect. (ANGLE 72, ORB 4 & IN FAMILY 5)

❦ sesquiquadrate/tri-octile - another difficult and stressful aspect, conflict with one another, though never directly, its like it avoids confrontation, as the planets work towards different purposes, it creates disharmony, this aspect is more agitating than difficult though. (ANGLE 135, ORB 4 & IN FAMILY 2)

❦ quincunx - a mixed pressure, most of the time it is difficult though, like semi-sextile, quincunx combines planets in incompatible signs, for example, venus in virgo quincunx mars in aries. gives an uneasy and forced mixed, thus causes trouble with each other, therefore subtle frustrations in daily routine. (ANGLE 150, ORB 4 AND FAMILY 3)

Having minor aspects does not mean minor influence on your life. Its effects are less potent than major aspects and are more mysterious in nature, however they are very much like the backdrop of your life and function in the background. When you see repeated patterns, habits, occurrences happening throughout your life, it very well could be minor aspects’ influence, so much so that you do not need to think about them or acknowledge them. They could be things that pop up occasionally that irritate you (literally a mosquito just bit me as I said this njkNVSJKDVN), or lessons and reminders that you have learnt early on and kind of keep you in check. There are about 8-9 minor aspects that are commonly known and used in many astrology chart sites, but about 5 are very rarely used and I’ll briefly mention them here for anyone that’s curious (I am. I am very curious because I see NO meanings for them online.). These aspects are all very mysterious in nature, so take what resonates and have fun getting to know your chart!

Love your interpretations 🥰

Hello dear anon,

I'm not into minor aspects, after all, the major ones are more than enough.

But I study because I'm curious and I always like to know a little more and in the absence of any major aspect between planets I see if there is a minor one.

Yet to me looks more that the person wants to fill another void that it has and that instead of working with what it already has, it tries to find something else to complement.

So, as you also don't specify very much which planets are, because, trust me, different interpretations in astrology is what there is more, and personal planets could be 6 of them... I will give you what is each minor aspect.

As they are very small, as I mentioned before, I would apply this only to planets.

Minor Aspects Meaning in Astrology

Semi-Decile (18°) or vigintile: show artistic talents.

Quindicile (24°): show obsession and compulsion, to the point where the individual may become separated from reality in the areas of life indicated by the placements of the planets involved, but some uses to artistic talents to.

Can be also applied to Sesquisquare (135º).

"Doundecile" (65º)(could not find a translation): Indicates obsession with something unattainable or just imaginary, chases the impossible. It has the same connotation as the quindecile.

Quintile (72º): Reveals creative talent, compulsion to create, compulsive desire to achieve and shine, developing the gift of strategy and the ability to intoxicate or captivate. It's a tense, challenging aspect but it shows talent and magnetism. It is related to challenges and self-esteem dependent on energies of the planets and the signs involved.

Hellooo💛

Alright, those minor aspects are really hard to find information on indeed, but I've kind of developed my own understanding based off the crumbs we get of those aspects. So, let's dive right in!

The semi-sextile is, in my opinion, not a minor aspect because what makes the relationship between, let's say, Aries and Taurus less meaningful or important than the relationship between Aries and Gemini, for instance? So, getting back to your question, lilith semi-sextile the ascendant can signify a constant stop and go when it comes to expernal expression of themes like sexuality, revenge and power through perhaps your clothes, hair style or anything to do with your outer appearance. You might have to make constant no win decisions about expressing these things and keeping them hidden because Lilith doesn't want to be seen, she desires to act behind the scenes and lock up whatever quality is associated with the sign it's in (for a Cancer lilith, as an example, this might show itself through a dislike or straight up discomfort surrounding nostalgia, the childhood and a love-hate relationship with your family). At the same time, though, the ascendant is all about being seen by the worls and seeing the world subjectively.

Lilith quintile the ascendant is what I'd personally lebel a minor aspect. The quintile adds change and separation as well as a strong creative flow between two celestial bodies. It might even be performative or expressive as it suggests a dynamic of creation, talent and also order. Now, with Lilith and the ascendant involved, you might like expressing your lilith freely and let it inspire your approach to life/clothing style etc. But you know when to use it and feel the heavy need to categorize it as something specific. Lilith can only come forth when xy is given. But be cautious because with minor aspects it often happens that you can turn a blind eye to them. Revenge might be hidden behind an action when you don't even notice and seduction might be a tool for attracting others into your life just for revenge or for hiding things your Lilith doesn't want you to adress. I understand the creative flow here to be an expression of your Lilith through your style or makeup. It might not be conscious but it's lingering somewhere when you brush your eyeshadow on or in the way that you intend to look. The influence that the rising has on Lilith is that you stand up for yourself without thinking twice. It's an impulse, an urge to want to be eye-level to others. You might even have a distain toward people who seem entitled or as though they'd think they are superior. Lilith is all about repressed negative experiences you seek to act against without wanting to adress them. This in an expressive, perfectionistic and creative flow to your ascendant allows you to hold a lot of power that you know exactly how to express within your self-expression.
