What are yours? 🙂


Theoretically an aspect becomes stronger the tighter an orb it has. Keeping with that idea the top five aspects in a chart will be those with the most exact orbs.

For the purpose of this thread I'm only considering the primary aspects: conjunction, square, opposition, sextile, and trine. These should also be limited to planets rather than asteroids, angles, or theoretical points. Aspects between personal planets should be given more weight more than generational ones formed among the outer astral bodies.

If you don't already know what yours are and, like myself, are too lazy to do the math, a super easy way to figure it out is to pull up your chart on astro.com. Reduce orb size to 1% to begin with and increase by a percentage point until you have all five. You may or may not start to see results until 5 - 8% so don't panic if there's nothing to be found right away.

Oh, cheers for the technique. I was just about to complain that I'd just woken up. I didn't actually know you could do that on astro.com. I see you're going the classical astrology route.



Yep, in the extended chart selection--after entering birth data if you don't have an account to log into--there's a tan looking options section. The box that says "Reduce/increase orbs (0 - 150% )" is where to look.

This is one point where I definitely agree with traditional astro. I see the most exacting aspects as being the building blocks for the individual personality, like the sugar-phosphate backbone of DNA.

So I go to that drawing on my chart..and do what?



I've gotten into the habit of always using astro.com so I've forgotten how other sites format their charts, but on that site they have a table for aspects beneath the drawn chart. After orbs are reset that table will look blank at first. Gradually as orbs are increased aspects will begin to reappear. The first five will be the tightest ones.

TMV can you help me?

I did reduce but I have no idea how the read the lines that form?

Where does it list the aspects?





There's a pyramid type table that's supposed to appear beneath the circular chart. Aspects should be listed there.

Triangle symbols are trines. Asterisks are sextiles. Squares are squares. The mark that looks like a little like a Mars symbol is a conjunction, and the one that's like o-o is an opposition.

Hopefully that helps?

Damnata if it is in the neighborhood of....

60 deg or 2 signs away=sextile
90 deg or 3 signs away=square
120 deg or 4 signs away=trine
180 deg or 6 signs away=opposition

Ok Tmv now I see the symbols but cannot read between what signs they are.

At 2 degrees I get an opposition and I don't see where it is. It that 0-0 next to an A with a 0 degree next to it.



The chart doesn't draw all aspect lines unless specifically directed to do so, so it might not visually appear in the circular chart. You can find which planets are involved with the aspect though by following the grid lines in the pyramid chart.

If it shows a 0 in the box for the aspect that means your opposition has an orb of 0?? or less. The orb percentage being entered in the options isn't 1% for 1??. I've figured that 1?? is actually about 10% orb size.

I feel so retarded today by my brain is literally fried right now 😐





Is this good or I need to increase the orbs further because those are minor aspects?



Yes.... All that bottom stuff is astroids and ascendent aspects... not planets.

And both moon trine neptune and saturn conjunct uranus is shown by lines in your chart...

So I dunno whatchu talken bout!

I DIDN'T GET WHAT THE LAST 2 ROWS WERE ABOUT!

I only see one line, where is the second?

Sun trine Neptune..does this make me delusional? I am seriously having a wtf day today




In sagittarius there is a little curled line blip between saturn and Uranus. Just look its not going to be some big ass line across the whole chart like some others would be because its a conjuction.

I don't think she means not to consider it but that it should be considered less important even if it has a tighter orb than an aspect between personal planets.



Yes. Everything in a chart has a function and purpose. I never throw working parts away.

But when it comes down to individual personality I look towards more personalized aspects whereas those between outer planets have more to do with the collective.
