Basic Astrology Chart and Aspects

Basic Astrology : Basic Astrology

Slide 2 : Overview If you were to compare astrology to acting you would say: The PLANETS are the actors, the SIGNS are the roles they play The HOUSES are the settings or situations in which the cast plays its roles. The Aspects are the interaction between them The cosmic energies of the planets in the positions of the zodiac in the houses are also affected by how the planets are positioned with respect to each other at any time. Some positions produce arrangements that reinforce these energies in helpful ways, while others bring about disruptive effects. These relations between planetary positions are called Aspects

Slide 3 : General Rules and Guidelines 1. Each house has thirty degrees in it from 0 degrees to 29 degrees. 2 Aspects are always figured by counting signs not houses. Otherwise you might overlook a sign that is INTERCEPTED in a house. Just because a sign is not on a cusp does not mean that it is not there. IT is and it has thirty degrees just like any other sign. If the first house cusp is in Cancer and the second house cusp is in Virgo the sign Leo is intercepted in the first house. Each house does not necessarily contain thirty degrees. 3.When a planet is exalted or dignified it can integrate well and can handle all aspects in a more positive manner. 4. Check for out of sign aspects, these occur when a planet is at the very beginning or end of a sign. 5. AN APPLYING aspect is stronger than WANING aspect. For example: Applying: the Moon at 10 Taurus tine Mercury at 16 virgo. Waning: the Moon at 16 Taurus tine Mars at 10 virgo.

Slide 4 : In the Applying aspect the Moon is moving toward Mercury and is thus said to be applying; in the waning aspect the Moon has moves past Mercury and is thus said to be waning. The applying aspect shows something you are working toward; the waning aspect show something that has been recently learning. The relative speed of the planets was show in the lesson on planets. The aspecting (Faster) planet is the Doer and the aspected (slower) planet is the receiver of the action 6. Aspects to the Sun are the root, seed and planet of the character. Basic character is formed by the most exact aspects in the horoscope. Aspect show tendencies, abilities and disability, rather than attainment. In other words the natal chart shows your potential, but your free will dictates how much or how little you do with it. 7. Since Mercury is never more that 29 degrees away from the Sun the only aspect it can form with the Sun is the Conjunction. Since Venus is never more than 46 degree away from the Sun, the only aspects it can form to the sun are the Conjunction, the semi - sextile and the Semi - square.

Slide 5 : The Aspects Major Aspects  Conjunction - (0 degrees)-- EMPHASIS - Neither harmonious or inharmonious, this aspect merges and intensifies the energies of two planets.  Sextile - (60 degrees, two signs apart)-OPPORTUNITY Harmonious aspect that helps energies flow toward attainment of your goals, provided that you make some conscious effort to achieve the yourself. Square - (90 degrees, three signs apart)- Challenge inharmonious aspect causing tensions and obstacles for you to overcome. It forces you to choose between you conflicting inner needs and urges.

Slide 6 : Trine - (120 degrees, four signs apart)- FLOW Harmonious aspect that brings the two energies into an easy interplay. This can create such beneficial consequences that things become to easy for you and you become lazy Opposition - (180 degrees, six signs apart)- AWARENESS Inharmonious aspect creating inner tensions between your planetary urges. it also creates dynamic tensions with others, which you must reconcile if you want to maintain harmonious relationships

Slide 7 : Minor Aspects Quincunx - (150 degrees, 5 signs apart or Inconjunct)- ADJUSTMENT - This aspect is another minor inharmonious one. It suggests a need for adjustment.   Semi-Sextile - (30 degrees, 1 sign apart)- REACTIVE - A minor harmonious aspect. It is considered important to some astrologers in natal astrology. Semi-Sextile - (30 degrees, 1 sign apart)- REACTIVE - A minor harmonious aspect.   Novile - (40 degrees) - TESTING - Orb should be no more than 1 degrees. Sesquiquadrate - (135 degrees, 4-1/2 signs apart)-- A little more minor than Semi-Square. This causes irritation and causes aggravation and discord

Slide 8 : Quintile - (72 degrees) - TALENT - Orb should be no more than 1 degrees. Biquintile - ( 144 degrees) - HARMONIOUS ON THE MENTAL PLANE. Orb should be no more than 1 degrees.
