Δ Trine: Harmony, Ease, Mutual Support This aspect indicates harmony and support between the planets, suggesting an easy flow of energy and understanding between the individuals involved.

☐ Square: Tension, Challenge, Growth Showing tension and challenges, the square aspect indicates a conflict between the planets, suggesting potential friction and differences that need to be resolved for better understanding and harmony.

☍ Opposition: Balance, Polarity, Compromise Representing polarity and balance, the opposition aspect shows a tug-of-war between the planets, highlighting the need for compromise and understanding to achieve a harmonious relationship dynamic.

Major Aspects

My apologies for missing yesterday, but I've got Jupiter for you today so strap in!

if you want access to the full content, I have the post fully available on my website!

Each planet is a single ‘aspect’ of us representing the positions of consciousness we take during our day to day life. When a chart makes plenty of aspects, the individual has a very active, alert, and dynamic inner world with plenty of interests and frayed stimulus. When a chart is lacking in aspects, the personality is quite complex, dualistic, and frayed in different active zones that don’t communicate, or do vaguely so with one another. 

The aspect operates at optimum capacity when 2 planets contact the exact degree point (such as Moon 16° in Leo conjunct Jupiter 16° in Leo) and continue to weaken with separation  

↔️ Conjunct: Too close for comfort 0 degrees away (5-10 degree separation orb)

Partnership that is stimulated, highly energetic, building inside like a bursting, burning star. At their best they unify with great rising force and compete with their best qualities to outshine one another’s potential. Both planets can try to overpower the other, forced into compromise and agitated by close confines. It can be the classic case of being spoilt with talent. the energy inside begins to swell and it can feel like a fireball is churning inside like a pit of relentless energy, panic, or nervous excess

💭 Sextile - Partnership with Benefits 60 degrees away (2-4 degree separation orb)

A mutual agreement to have a light and agreeable meeting and maintain a good flowing contact, non intrusive, congenial, and unimposing. The desire is to work at the pace that keeps both comfortable but their ease of content can make for a very inactive and unstimulated pair  

⚠️ Square: Cosmic Maelstrom 90 degrees away (4-8 degree separation orb)

A battle of domination, one planet becomes highly active, overstimulated, and dominates the pair. Then, the power shifts to its opponent, it can feel like a see-saw of cement has been madly swung into another side of their body and mind inside, it can be difficult for these planets to settle and collaborate calmly and without fanaticism

📐 Trine - For Business or Pleasure? 120 degrees (4-8 degree separation orb)

2 planets that are stimulated, excited, and regenerated by joining forces, coming together with grand ideal plans, and activating out the harmonic and peak qualities of one another. Sometimes they can become so relaxed and comfortable in company, the sense of having already achieved, dreaming instead of doing and letting themselves get away with doing nothing  

🔄 Opposition - A Mirror Face Off 180 degrees (5-10 degree separation orb)

An opportunity to maximise the potential of both planetary and archetypal qualities but the work and internal pressure is not easy. There is entrenched finesse and talent, but both planets can battle it out to eclipse and reign supreme. The very essence of this activity is the resulting hard work and discipline by the individual that advances natural talent with skill, regimen, and passion. the contract for collaboration requires intense negotiation, compromise, and the integration of polar energies to create a single, divine force, the highest potential in each planet is only accessible through the other. Once established, the nature of this union is to lose and regain contact, separated by the frustration of opposing desires and reattach by the magnet force of underlying desire to connect with the other half of its inherent essence

Natal Venus Trine Mars: Such harmony between their masculine and feminine energies. Tends to be a relaxed person who is not driven by conquest, competition, or jealousy. Their drive is about connection, feeling energized, and enjoying the company of others or physical pleasures. With Earth there can be a lot of patience, Air acceptance, Water understanding, and Fire a friendly zeal. Wants and needs can appear balanced but know changing to fit a need or want can be slow, will put in little effort, or is nonexistent. 

Natal Venus Trine Jupiter: Honesty and openness are big traits to how this person approaches relationships. Exploration, expansion, learning, and teaching are important factors in love. Indulgence, a sense of curiosity, and high spirits are abundant in their relationships. They are fascinated by friends and lovers who seem exotic. 

Natal Venus Trine Saturn: Relationships that are serious, long-term, and realistic or practical come easily for them. Saturn could throw some tough lessons about maturity into relationships but the Trine is typically not a challenging aspect. Here an individual has an advantage to weed out partners and people who are unreliable, immature, and insecure. 

Natal Venus Trine Uranus: This person feels comfortable on their own and prefers to stand out. Independence is a trademark and it is common for other’s to admire or notice them for their different approach to relationships. There is a love for society and humanity for this individual. Rebellion through love somehow can happen here. People may seek this person out for radical love advice or a different perspective on friendship or marriage. 

Venus Trine Neptune: Illusions are centered on relationships and can continue to happen when one doesn’t put in effort to be discerning, patient, and practical. The Trine can cause one to get too comfortable with the idea of a person or of a relationship instead of the reality.

Venus Trine Pluto: There can be a fear of dealing with shallow relationships, letting go of control, possessiveness, and leaving ones comfort zone that the Trine doesn’t address. The Trine makes one comfortable in their current emotional attachments.

Natal Venus Trine Ascendant: So prince/princess charming. We see an ease with representation and a likable identity. There can be a non confrontational element to this person. They are more laid back in how they approach the world.

Natal Venus Trine Midheaven: There is a huge desire for comfort in one’s future and job that can hold them back from risks, promotions, and opportunities. Can be attracted to more creative fields. 

Natal Venus Trine North Node: Like the sextile, “Relationships pave the path towards fulfillment and karmic lessons.” Learning to take on conflict, overcoming unhealthy attachment and issues with jealousy may be here too. The Trine can point to easily visualizing a future with others but lacking the action to create that future, think of this when looking at the lessons of the nodes.

Natal Venus Trine Chiron: Healing is done through relationships. Know this can indicate someone who depends on others to “fix them”. They may rely on enablers or coddles. But there is a lot of power here to help others and an advantage for attracting people who care for them.

Natal Venus Trine Ceres: Nurturing and taking care of a partner comes naturally for this person. There is likely a strong maternal vibe about this individual. A clean, beautiful-looking place may be a real importance for a nurturing environment for them.

Natal Venus Trine Juno: Hopeless romantic. Fascinated by love stories at a young age. Quick to commit. Focuses on being attractive to lovers. Can easily get disappointed if a relationship lacks romance and luster. A lack of energy and challenge may exist in their connections.

Natal Venus Trine Pallas: Another aspect for the artist! Can also surround themselves by artistic/creative people. Could live artistically through others somehow. Example, a parent living their talent or hobbies through a child. Creative ideas come easily to them.

Natal Venus Trine Vesta: There can be a link between self care and materialism. This person does not hesitate to relax and enjoy themselves. There is a good balance between work and play. There is balance between socialization and isolation. A good aspect for self care.

Hello, hello, and welcome to the first expert level article. Aspects are not an easy thing to understand. They can be messy and confusing. There's math involved (to a minor degree, but still). It's one of those things that needs to be understood if you are reading your own chart. To understand as a whole to get the full picture. So here we go Aspects - Understanding Charts.

Natal Mars Trine Jupiter: Here is a person who doesn’t have to try hard to assert their energy, to stay enthusiastic, or to put themselves out there. Self-belief is a huge benefit within this trine. Mars and Jupiter cheer each other on. Finding rest, peace, and patience can be a challenge that they don’t always want to take on. 

Natal Mars Trine Saturn: The disciplined fighter and worker appears with this trine. Working hard is what comes easily along with following ambition. However breaking habits of over work or finding time for one’s self is a challenge. Mars and Saturn find harmony here and are constantly looking for a goal to chase after. 

Natal Mars Trine Uranus: Forward and rebellious energies swirl within a person who has this trine. They like to be around others who are passionate about their ideals. Future-thinking is prominent and natural. If social cooperation or fitting in doesn’t come naturally they might not want to fight for this. 

Natal Mars Trine Neptune: Creative energy is abundant and this person can be brave with their imagination. Illusions and intuition get supported by heated mars and use passion as a main vessel. One can get carried away with their passions, intuition is felt in the heart and with fire more so than a subtle voice, and one can find it easy to be an opportunist. Passion and intuition can sometimes get mixed up, misleading an individual. 

Natal Mars Trine Pluto: Secret warrior, secret fire. Mars and Pluto work together in this aspect however the fiery drive of a person may hide behind Pluto’s secretive veil. This person watches and waits and then attacks. This investigative but also intense side comes naturally to them. Energy spent on opening up and transparency can be a challenge. Managing their fiery side can be a struggle as well, but a struggle behind closed doors. 

Natal Mars Trine Ascendant: The vitality and drive of Mas is represented in the Ascendant. Here is someone who doesn’t hide ANY individuality, wants, and confidence. The Mars sign itself could also be clearly shown to the world. 

Natal Mars Trine Midheaven: Competitive and ambitious in the workplace? Yes. With the trine this is likely a healthy competitive spirit and aspirations. When faced with failure or not the success they dream of they may lack drive and energy. They can be lazy or flighty towards jobs and responsibilities that don’t fit their goals. 

Natal Mars Trine North Node: Mars supports the nodes lessons. Here asserting one’s self, being more competitive, going after goals, and boosting up self-assurance towards conflict resolution are helpful in learning karmic lessons. 

Natal Mars Trine Chiron: Assertion, drive, and the Mars sign energy is helpful towards healing. With Fire look to a relationship between wounds and self-esteem, Water with learning openness and forwardness, Earth with learning risk taking, and Air with tapping into passion. Overall there can be a lot of fire and will behind someone’s path of healing. 

Natal Mars Trine Juno: To be blunt the physical relationship with a partner is important for love and attachment to this individual. Passion comes easily with their spouse along with physical attraction. Harmony exist with love and physical desire. A challenge could be exploring deeper connections with a lover. Or more so there is the challenge that if physical satisfaction doesn’t come easily for someone they won’t put a lot of effort into the relationship or they can be unhappy in the relationship. 

Natal Mars Trine Ceres: This is an individual who builds up their confidence, enthusiasm, and drive. They don’t hesitate to give themselves pep-talks. Many times Mars-Ceres indicates conflict or harshness towards nurturing but here this person feels independent, doesn’t need to be babied or coddled.

Natal Mars Trine Pallas: Lots of energy is fed into someone’s skills and talents! Being self motivated is easy for them. Focus and patience may be areas they need to work on.

Natal Mars Trine Vesta: Much like other aspects with Mars-Vesta there is a need to release energy for mental health. A healthy dose of competition & challenges actually keeps them feeling good. When they get stuck in a rut or something boring they find it hard to move out of that.
