Aspects and values seen within a chart often lead to an accurate assessment of the gifts and potentialities that even the native herself/himself may be unaware of. The stars and planets do not
dictate but rather indicate what may be. The choice is always within the individual.
CONJUNCTION:
Two planets
"kissing" or within 8 degrees of one another. The effect is an
emphasis and blending of the characteristics inherent in the two
planets and their respective house positions.
SQUARE:
Two planets
are 90 degrees from one another or three signs apart. The effect
is a challenge presented to the native. The choice is a fight or
flight response which leads to accomplishment or growth in some
form.
OPPOSITION:
Two planets
that are 180 degrees from one another or six signs apart. The
effect is one of awareness and outreach. Compromise is learned
and we seek out qualities in others that we lack within
ourselves.
TRINE:
Two planets
that are 120 degrees from one another or four signs apart. The
effect is idealism and inspiration. A flow and ease of expression
in respect to the planets involved is seen within the
individual.
SEXTILE:
Two planets
that are 60 degrees from one another or two signs apart. The
sextile always indicates opportunity or a natural apptitude that
requires development
