How Close Do Asteroids Need to Be for a Conjunction in Astrology

A conjunction in astrology generally occurs when planets or asteroids are within about 8 to 10 degrees of each other. Exact degrees vary depending on the astrologer and chart context. In your case, Nessus and Dejanira are more than 7 degrees apart, so they do not form a conjunction. Check specific orb allowances for precise interpretations.

When dealing with asteroids, how many degrees apart is to be counted as conjunction?

In the sign of Scorpio, I have

Nessus - 2 deg 39' 10"

Dejanira - 10 deg 32' 58"

Moon - 18 deg 48' 39"

Pluto - 22 deg 43' 58"

I thought there would a conjunction involving the asteroids and planets, but I checked at astrodienst, it says there are no none, except a conjunction between moon and pluto, but nothing more involving the asteroids. Why so?

So when asteroids are involved, if they are more than 3 degrees apart, they are not counted as conjunction. Did i understand it correctly?

Yes.

I use tight orbs though.

6° degrees is the maximum orbs for conjunction between planets and it can up to 8°degrees if it's involving luminaries (Sun or Moon)

@AerialView,

Yes, for planets, not a problem, I was curious about the orbs for asteroids. Thank you for helping me out. What do you mean by "thought orbs" ?

@Imaginacion,

Hehe, okay. I don't know much about asteroids. I prefer the planets. 😛
