Orbs and Natal Aspects
Understanding Orbs and Natal Aspects in Astrology
Orbs represent the distance between planets in an aspect. Typically, up to 8 degrees for oppositions and squares are considered valid, but wider orbs can still influence interpretation. Your orbs of over 14 degrees are wider than standard but may still affect your natal chart subtly.
So the max orb would be 10 degrees or a bit less, not greater than that.
14°37' or 14°53’ is way above the limit so I can easily discard those two aspects. Quite relieved lol.
True, there are so many things to look at. It's crazy and lots of work.
Thank you guys.
They're too wide mate.
They're too wide mate.
Yes, you are right. They are wide. I thought because it involved the Sun, the orb can be much larger. But I am glad I was wrong. I don't need to consider them. I can discard those messed up aspects now.
Thank you everyone.

If it's involving two luminaries (sun to moon aspects) the orb could be wider.
If they're bad aspects then forget it heheh only consider if they're good.

That's a very optimistic way of seeing things. You are right.
If it involves sun to moon, then what would be the widest orb for hard aspects?

That's depends on the aspects.
Conjunction is the widest then Opposition at 8 and 7 degrees
Then square and trine at 5 and 4 degrees
Quincunx and Sextile at 3 and 2 degrees
Then minor aspects at 1-2 degrees
But I work with tight orbs and it's tighter than most sites by 2-3 degrees.

What orb would you give to the conjunction if it involves luminaries?
10 degrees max? Or it goes greater than 10.

10° is max for me.
I have 11° degrees between Sun and Moon and never considered it as conjunction although few sites says it's a conjunction.
For conjunction the Sun has more negative effect to the planets nearby. Something called combustion.

I see. You are very strict concerning the orbs. It's better this way.
I heard about combustion.
So I got it then, 10 degrees is the max orb for luminaries.

Sun Opposition Uranus, orb 14°37’
Sun Opposition Neptune, orb 14°53’
Is the orb too wide to be considered an opposition? Or should I consider it anyway?
What's the max orb you use for oppositions and squares?
