Important aspects in the natal chart. Tense aspects in the horoscope. It was theory. Now let's move on to practice
Detailed description of aspects between planets in natal chart
Connection (0°)
Connection in the natal chart
Strongest aspect. Connection makes us act, realize our inner potential. In a certain sense, this aspect deals with the climax in the development of personality, here we are realized without reflection and deviation. The union proclaims the mobilization of forces for the maximum possible advance outward. It provokes us to bright actions and requires full dedication. It is the focal point of our being, where we are at our most pure form. The connection zone is a zone of increased activity. The quality of this activity largely depends on the planets involved in the conjunction, signs and houses where they stand. For example, the conjunction of the Moon with Neptune in Virgo in the 12th house speaks of activity in the inner sphere, in the subconscious, of deep feelings, strong mental tension, suffering, which, however, does not manifest itself practically on the external plane. And the combination of the Sun and Mars in Leo in the 10th house is a huge offensive power, bright volitional manifestations on the external plane. When planets of opposite nature, such as Venus and Pluto, connect, this creates a strong internal conflict. The manifestation of the planets in this case is distorted, uneven, changeable.
Stellium planets in the map
When three or more planets (stellium) connect, the qualities of the planets themselves are less noticeable than the characteristics of the sign and house in which this connection occurs. For example, stellium in Gemini in the 6th house will mean an intensive information exchange with colleagues, no matter what planets are included in this stellium. A special place in medieval astrology was occupied by the conjunctions of the planets with the Sun. So, for example, if a planet is within 6° of the Sun, it is considered " burnt"Or being in complete submission to the luminary. A distance less than 17′ from the Sun was called "Kazimi". In this case, the Sun gives all its energy to the planet, increasing its power incredibly. Modern astrologers sometimes neglect these interpretations. In practice, the conjunction of the Sun is critical factors maps, and it seems logical to take a more careful approach to differentiating the values of these compounds depending on the orbis. A special case of connection is the stellium. With a stellium, 3 or more planets are in conjunction, which, of course, makes interpretation difficult. Most astrologers agree that the resulting effect primarily reflects the nature of the sign and the house in which the stellium stands.
Opposition (180°)
Opposition in the natal chart
The most stable aspect. The opposition leads to strong internal tension, almost complete impossibility of direct self-expression. The opposing forces can mutually compensate each other with an exact aspect and turn off the active action. A person is pulled in opposite directions, and it is quite difficult for him to make a decision. In a weak horoscope, oppositions lead to lethargy, hesitation, and variability; in a strong one, they testify to the ability to withstand huge loads, to defend one's interests, and to resist unfavorable life circumstances. Planets that are in opposition cannot act simultaneously in one place without causing damage to each other. Usually the spheres of influence of the planets are divided - planetary manifestations are incompatible. In this regard, the opposition of related planets is sometimes experienced more sharply and more painfully than the opposition of planets that are different in nature. The keywords of the opposition are attitude and awareness. Situations when external activity is difficult or impossible increase internal activity, help a person to realize what is happening. The opposition is strong in the ability to deeply comprehend the real position of man in the world. When the opposition is made up of planets of different strengths, then the temptation appears to suppress the weaker pole and identify with the stronger one. For example, with the opposition of Saturn in Capricorn in the 10th house to Mars in Cancer in the 4th house, there can be a complete rejection of one's own initiative and complete adherence to traditions and social norms. However, sooner or later the repressed pole will manifest itself, which in this case will lead to a loss of social status. Thus, the task of the opposition is to balance the opposing poles.
Square (90°)
Square in the natal chart
The most stressful aspect. The square provokes inadequate activity. Activities can be redundant, which gives rise to conflict situations. The square causes strong dissatisfaction with the status quo and makes a person act decisively and energetically, but the energy released in this aspect cannot be realized naturally. Usually, the action on the square causes a disruption in the normal course of life, explodes the situation, and leads to the destruction of the established order. In order to get constructive results with the help of a square, it is necessary to look for non-standard approaches to problems. Sometimes you have to make paradoxical decisions that do not fit into the generally accepted framework. The keywords of the square are struggle and achievement. Overcoming obstacles, a person with the help of a square goes to new level existence. However, the square does not allow a person to rest on their laurels, stimulating continuous movement forward. The square tends to draw the whole personality into its networks, taking a lot of energy to solve its problems. Man is drawn into an endless race. For example, with the square of Jupiter and Uranus, a person is forced all the time to prove the originality of his own views. This takes away so much power from him that he is unable to use the opportunities provided by other aspects of the card.
Trine, trine (120°)
Trine in the natal chart
The most harmonious aspect. Trigon promises easy realization of inner potential, creates favorable circumstances for any manifestations, establishes a good connection between internal and external. The world is moving towards the desires and needs of man. Almost everything that relates to aspected planets is obtained easily, as if by itself. You can call it talent. However, there is no incentive to improve, conquer new heights. Trigon gives quick satisfaction. A person likes the existing situation, he sees no reason to change it, to transform it. This often leads to passivity, stagnation, idleness, carelessness. Then a person easily follows the lead of tougher people, loses the ability to defend his interests, chooses the line of least resistance. The keywords of the trigon are help and stability. The planets that form a trine always support each other, there is a stable harmonious relationship between them. As a rule, the opportunities provided by the trine are poorly understood. They seem natural, taken for granted, inherent in all other people. For example, a person trine Jupiter to Uranus is often unaware that other people are not able to make the right acquaintances in any setting at any time. This makes it difficult to objectively assess the capabilities of others and their own advantages. It is sometimes more difficult to develop advantages than to overcome disadvantages.
Sextile (60°)
Sextile in the natal chart
The effect of the aspect is similar to that of the trine. The sextile is less harmonious, but more energetic. The trine is more abstract, more ideal, more potential, and the sextile is more specific, practical, adaptable, quickly responds to changes in the external environment and is able to introduce certain innovations into life itself. It is rarely associated with innate talent, but rather with the speed of acquiring skills. The keywords are skill and adaptation. Practice shows that a sextile connecting fast planets acts more powerfully and more favorably than a sextile between slow planets.
Minor aspects
Quintile (72°)
The aspect provides great opportunities for creative activity. It stimulates transformational processes, unexpected transformations. Situations where the quintile turns on are full of unique moments. A person is forced to solve the same problems in a new way every time. The key words are freedom and virtuosity. Often the quintile is associated with transcendental experience, with insight, with altered states of consciousness. The planets that form the quintile make each other play with all the colors, which gives a person artistic inclinations. S. Tompkins and D. Hamblin believe that the quintile may indicate an unusual talent or the ability to implement speculative schemes. Some astrologers believe that the quintile is especially strong if the Sun, Uranus, Mercury are involved in it.
Semi-square (45°)
The aspect symbolizes readiness to fight, internal composure and tension. Key words - mobilization, challenge. An exact semi-square between Mars, Jupiter, Uranus and the Sun can be much more effective and brighter than an inexact square between these planets. The semi-square contributes to the disclosure of new possibilities of old structures.
Sequisquare (135°)
The aspect symbolizes the conflict between different levels of hierarchies. Key words - protest, sanctioning. Particularly sensitive is the sequadra between the inner and outer planets. The sequiquadrat contributes to the conquest of a privileged position, obtaining the means to control other people's actions. A semi-square involving Pluto and Saturn from this point of view seems to be very effective in the political struggle.
Quincons (150°)
The aspect is associated with heavy responsibilities associated with the mistakes of the past. Feelings of viscosity and hopelessness are often associated with quincunx. The aspect reminds us of our weaknesses and brings us back to what we would like to forget. It is especially difficult to endure the pressure of the quincunx if the planets connected by it do not have major aspects. Key words - return, return.
Semi-sextile(30°)
Symbolizes the completeness and regularity of the corresponding activity. Semi-sextile connecting the planets different nature may act in a disharmonious manner. Keyword- combination.
Septile (51°26′)
Fine tuning to the beyond. Many astrologers believe that the septile symbolizes fatality. The key word is inspiration. This and subsequent aspects are weak and poorly understood.
Nonagon (40°)
According to D. Rudhyar, this aspect can mean spiritual birth in the areas to which the aspected planets belong. Key word is dedication..
Semiquintile (36°)
Some astrologers attribute to the half-quintile the characteristics of unity, release, instability. In practice, it should be considered as a weak quintile. The key word is creativity.
Biquintile (144°)
The aspect leads to a state of intense expectation of opportunities for self-expression. According to D. Redyar, it is associated with the technique of creative introversion and can mean a certain kind of obsession. The key word is choice.
Sequiquintile (108°)
According to some astrologers, the aspect gives the ability to mimicry, adaptation to rapidly changing conditions. The key word is dispersion.
Undecile (32°43′)
According to Rudhyar, the characteristic is awareness. The weakest among the minor aspects. The key word is transcendence.
Friends! Sit back, take a cup of aromatic tea in your hands, and only after that start reading this article. After all, now we will talk about a very painful topic: how to work out the tense aspect of the horoscope. In general, many people who see their natal chart for the first time are horrified and dumb question from the series: “how to live with this with everything?”. After all, not everyone can boast of strong planets in their chart.
Let's start debriefing!
So, there are usually two main problems in the map. The first is tense aspects between the planets (squares, oppositions). The second is defective planets. But today we will talk about working on stressful aspects. We will leave the planets for later, for the second part of our conversation, so stock up on delicious tea.
The main mistake of astrologers
I want to say right away that we should not perceive tense aspects as an absolute evil, if we think so that we will make a global mistake. After all, tense aspects give a person energy, bring down on a person circumstances that make him act. That is why big businessmen or famous people always have a lot of tense aspects in the chart. And people who have a lot of harmonious aspects are often very lazy, and because of this they achieve little in life, although they have all the opportunities.
The secret of star opposition
So let's start with the Opposition aspect. Technically, opposition is an aspect when the planets are opposite each other, 180 degrees apart. Planets in opposition represent completely different values, and naturally, they are very actively pulling the blanket over themselves. In a person's life, this can be expressed as a strong internal conflict, from a series: from one extreme to another.
Conflict of soul and mind. What to do?
For example, the Opposition of the Moon and Mercury speaks of a very big discord and conflict between feelings and thoughts, I think about one thing, but I want something completely different. The task of the Opposition is to connect things in order to separate them again. Therefore, the main study of this aspect is to connect opposites. For example, we see Opposition between the planets of the IVth and Xth Houses. That is the conflict between family and work. In such a case, we may advise the individual to work from home or start a family business. A person with the Opposition of the Moon and Mercury must learn to articulate all his feelings and emotions. That is, when working on the Opposition, we must consider the nature of the planets that participate in the aspect, and also the Houses that are involved in these planets.
Secrets of quadrature
Next, let's talk about Quadrature. The Quadrature differs from the Opposition in that it acts alternately, while the Opposition works 24 hours a day. Opposition is a constant confrontation, enmity. A quadrature is a restless point that explodes from time to time.
For example, the Square of the Moon and Mercury will give us the following effect: I don’t fit into those pants that I like, but I don’t like those that fit in, as a result I bought a scarf. The task of the aspect is to work out each of the sides, that is, to find exactly those pants that I like and that fit me. That is, we need to find a golden mean, a compromise between the planets. For example, the ideal solution for the Square of Venus and Saturn is to learn how to show your feelings in moderation so that both Venus and Saturn are satisfied. And again, Homes are important to us. If the conflict occurs between the Lords IV and X, that is, between work and family, then such a person needs to learn to pay attention to both areas, because if he gets carried away by one of these areas, then the other will immediately make itself felt.
P.S.
Remember, any tense aspect can always bring you very good use. And if you want to fully work out the tense aspects of your natal chart, as well as plunge into the atmosphere of mystery, find like-minded people, become confident in the future and just get a new fashionable profession where you can make good money, go to our school!
This article is for those who use astrology as a tool to improve their character, develop positive qualities and corrections of negative ones.
Hence the rule that should have been learned at school: the person who is able to resist his desires (knows how to deny himself) has the power to resist the negative impact of his fate. Which, in turn, manifests itself through the planets and aspects.
Those aspects that exist in the natal chart are character traits. The ability to respond to something in a certain way. Tense, quadrature and opposition, give a negative impact. It is expressed in a tendency to react unrestrainedly, irritably, harshly, or, on the contrary, leave unanswered (ignore) certain situations. Well, harmonious ones, trines and sextiles, form our strengths, help in the appropriate situation to use everything for the good, because there is an initial positive attitude and love for ourselves and our neighbors.
The best situation in the chart is when ALL aspects are present, but there is some preponderance towards harmonious ones, there are a little more of them. Then a person has the energy to develop from tense aspects, he has something to be dissatisfied with himself and strive for perfection. But he also has something to be proud of and in what to see (receive evidence) of the Almighty's love for himself. It comes from harmonious interactions.
If there are few tense aspects, then a person tends to be satisfied with himself, he simply has nothing to strain and grow up for. Him and so every day carnival. This gives an extremely happy childhood and youth. But then envy begins for those who bypassed it due to their efforts. At some point, a person can simply find a stagnant swamp around him. And at the same time, he will understand that everything suits him and continue to lead an inert plant life, implicitly losing respect for himself. But continuing to consume comfort and benefits.
So, if you find squares and oppositions in your map, do not rush to think badly about them. Yes, they will forever be your irritants. But it is they who give energy for development. And that means achievement. That alone is worth showing tolerance for them.
But, like any tool, handling them requires knowledge of safety precautions.
Opposition
The opposition gives a fundamental disagreement, the original irreconcilable position. A person accepts for himself the manifestation of the principle of only one of the planets participating in the configuration. And flatly refuses to recognize the right of the second to influence.
We will immediately consider specific example. Take the opposition of Uranus and Mercury. This means that a person recognizes separately the existence of sudden insights and opportunities for non-standard behavior. And separately can work with logic and speak well. But he does not understand how it can be combined. He is convinced that if something can be put into words, explained in an intelligible language, written down (Mercury), then this cannot claim to be extraordinary (Uranus). It is initially simple, formulaic, trite and understandable to everyone. And if someone does something innovative, extraordinary, creative, then it is definitely impossible to put it into a verbal form. Words will vulgarize and destroy everything. The same ban on logic. If logic is present (Mercury), then by definition no cardinal changes can occur (Uranus). Hence the desire to organize local revolutionary upheavals in one's life without any rationality and mind control.
In fact, the opposition is not as terrible as in theory. When a person with opposition in the map begins to act in practice. He is surprised to find that both the wolves are full and the sheep are safe. In the midst of spontaneous changes in Uranus, he begins to be good at explaining what is happening, using his Mercury. And even catch the logic and follow it, not rejecting it as something that can destroy the whole idea of cardinal changes in life.
Well, at the moment of ordinary reflections or answering an ordinary question, he understands that it is possible to show non-standard thinking and allow sudden insight to change the course of reasoning. And not to look at the same time, to put it mildly, not quite a healthy person. On the contrary, make a good impression.
Being just a theoretical contradiction, the opposition of two planets in the chart is able to come to full development by the age of 30, and maybe even earlier. And give the ability to simultaneously use two qualities and thereby gain competitive advantage in front of others. Well, for example, if it is Mars and Venus, then the decisive actions of such a person will always be tactful towards others and aesthetic in execution. Conversely, the need to satisfy one's desires will always be reinforced by a good concentration of willpower in the direction of achieving the desired.
In order to tame the opposition in practice, it is enough to start acting. Theoretical intransigence magically disappears in practice.
Quadrature
Quadrature is the more problematic aspect. Her cunning is that she starts like a trine, with a great belief that everything will be great and here it is, my finest hour, everything should work out for me. In theory, quadrature is not felt at all, a person considers himself completely harmonious and perfectly developed. But practice quickly reveals all the problems and roughness. The result is always unsatisfactory. In simple words- a person will definitely be dissatisfied with how everything turned out.
For example, let's take the quadrature between the Moon and the Sun. It's just that this is the most sensational and frightening aspect, giving a high conflict and a tendency to divorce, as well as other rash actions. A lot of people want to see it.
In itself, the aspect means the ever-existing relationship between the Sun and the Moon. One does not appear without the other. The sun is our will and outer activity, and the moon is our emotions and inner life. With such a quadrature, when a person decides something (Sun), he always places great emotional expectations on it (Moon). Naturally, any person expects positive emotions, that is, he himself initiates only what should make him happy. But in fact, in the end, it always turns out to be disappointing. His real emotions will always be far from expected, because his consciousness (the Sun) was mistaken about the true deepest desires (the Moon).
AT reverse side works too. If the moon turns on first, then something triggered his expectations and emotional reaction. A person is excited (in any direction, happy or angry). And he can't just ride out his emotional storm. He absolutely needs to do something right now. Start acting. The aspect demands to be drawn into the entire Sun. Moreover, he is convinced that he is completely sober and clearly understands what and how to do in order to balance his emotions. To further enhance happiness or remove unhappiness. And of course, practice quickly makes its own adjustments to perfect plan. Actions are somewhat clumsy and ultimately traditionally unsatisfactory. The result is not as good as we would like. And sometimes downright bad.
This is a square, there is no other way with it ...
With quadrature, one must be clearly aware that it is never worked out to the end. From time to time a person will act on the planets in this aspect more and more subtle, trying to take into account past mistakes and provide for all options. But until the end you will never be satisfied with the result. It will always seem to him that if he had worked a little more on himself (or on preparing for action), it could have been better.
Practice, or we forge our character
So, there is a tense aspect. And how to tame it, a person does not understand what exactly he needs to start with? In fact, everything is very simple. Nature has taken care of everything. We are born as deeply social animals. We absolutely cannot do without communication with other people. It is these other people who will kindly take upon themselves the task of developing us.
As long as a person has some kind of conflict with himself inside, people will be sent to him by fate, who will bring this conflict out. Become the characters in the play.
Opposition
Take for example the opposition of Saturn and Venus. Man does not want to be limited by his desires. And he considers life experience and maturity to be a killer of happiness.
When Venus himself is active, someone will definitely appear who will take on the role of Saturn. Venus will offer some kind of pleasure, something to please and pamper yourself. But there will be an extremely mature and authoritative person nearby, perhaps older in age, or will behave from a position of superior life experience, greater maturity. And this person will begin to appeal to conscience, to reason, forbidding to receive pleasure, which is literally within reach. Thus interfering with happiness.
In youth, when a person is just learning to handle his natal chart, this causes a terrible conflict, a rejection of the authority of the figure acting as Saturn. This can be expressed in conflict with parents or teachers, unwillingness to communicate with older people, believing that they will deprive them of the opportunity to receive pleasure, forbid everything and restrict everything.
With time comes a more relaxed attitude. A man argues with his opponents. But he begins to understand that at the same time, no one can forbid him in practice what Venus offers. And Venus offers what brings happiness. At one moment, it will be happiness to have a puppy, at another the opportunity to go on vacation, of course, this is also a matter of falling in love and choosing a partner, etc. It’s just that at the time of the dispute, a person in himself, arguing his right to these benefits, works out his doubts sent by his Saturn. And through this, either corrects desires, or finally decides.
Well, at a developed level, a person already knows how to do without disputes with his environment. A person already knows that you just need to start embodying and everything will come to balance on its own.
This same opposition sounds in parallel from its other side. When it is necessary to translate something into life experience (Saturn), it seems to a person with this aspect that this will completely deprive him of comfort and all the benefits. If he decides on something serious, then a provocateur immediately appears, who teases “yes, why do you need all this, but look how cool you can relax and live in comfort without bothering,” etc. At the beginning of the study, this is quite capable of taking a person away from his serious plans, in the middle he simply argues to himself through communication with a friend that comfort will not suffer so much and everything will be fine, but then he already copes simply at the level of reflection.
Quadrature
Consider, say, the quadrature of Mars and Jupiter.
It in itself means that a person's actions (Mars) are in conflict with his morality (Jupiter). When such a person accumulates strength and undertakes something, then in theory he is sure that he is doing everything from the point of view of high morality and everything is wonderful. But in reality, everything turns out to be not ethical enough and obviously causes some problems for others, and this spoils the reputation of a person. In the opposite case, when a person studies the Scriptures or other moral (scientific) knowledge (Jupiter), he is convinced that he is completely within his power (Mars). But in fact, he is convinced that it is much harder for him to keep the fast than he expected, it is even more difficult to keep the word, and so on. Real forces and internal capabilities (Mars) turn out to be weaker than the plank for Jupiter. And it is very unpleasant to notice all this in yourself. But it is this force that will constantly push a person to improve in both directions.
In more simple version such a student is confident that he can easily prepare for the exam in the last couple of nights. And in the end, he states that this is not his method and, of course, he will be dishonored at the exam.
Everything will work out the same way. If a person somehow regards his Mars (our student is convinced that a couple of days is enough for him), then fate is guaranteed to send him that teacher (Jupiter) who will prove the opposite to him. Naturally, the poor fellow will be tolerant of himself and extremely dislike a harmful teacher.
Well, either a person turns on Jupiter and is sure that he can help someone. Become a savior and benefactor. Promises joyfully and with three boxes. Naturally, it does not cope and the situation only exacerbates the situation. The dependent person is then forced to take on the role of Mars. When they bring him to at its best throw out their indignation and aggression from such disservice. Mars is easily manifested through anger. And here, too, a person will be completely satisfied with his Jupiter (well, I’m so kind, sympathetic, compassionate, and I had connections), but he will extremely condemn the ungrateful beggar. At first he sobbed from his problems, but now he doesn’t agree with what happened, let him rejoice, he doesn’t deserve this either.
At an average level, a person begins to understand that others are not to blame for his problems and do not write them down as “bad guys”. It was I who did not cope subtly enough, that's why it happened, that's why such a reaction to my actions. At the same time, he begins to be afraid to take on roles related to his quadrature. But fate will force. And he will simply take into account past mistakes over and over again, apologize for sharp corners and draw conclusions.
At the last level, a person no longer proves to someone, but to himself that he can take this height. He sets tasks for himself, and he is constantly dissatisfied with himself to the end. Finds what else can be polished and made more perfect. And at the same time, he begins to love the very possibilities to manifest themselves by quadrature. At this level, the surrounding square no longer notices. Outwardly, the person is impeccable.
Compound
Separately, I will touch on the connection. By itself, it is not considered a stressful aspect. It simply means that when one planet is turned on, another planet is turned on in tandem with it, and they do not go alone.
It all depends on the level of personal development and you need to work on it. If a person is of a high level, then from both planets they will be taken best qualities and the connection will become a point of power. If a person is not far from a barbarian, then at the moment the connection is turned on, the worst qualities of both planets will appear and this will only aggravate the situation.
For example, the conjunction of Venus and Mars that excites poets. On the high level it is refinement together with concentration and determination. And at a low level it is promiscuity, multiplied by aggression and anger.
It will manifest itself through people in the form of a companion (comrade) that appears in time. And already the one who connects to your actions will outwardly show the level of your development. Toli will be a strong assistant, roofing felts will create terrible problems. In the process of elaboration, intermediate options are also observed, of course.
***
I'll finish where I started. Success in life is determined by the ability to restrain one's desires and evaluate oneself. When a person knows how to do it himself, he is not touched by the people around him. He is RESPECTED. Self-control is POWER in its purest form. Until a person has found this, other people will protect us from ourselves. Either by forbidding something (protection from problems by opposition), or by criticizing (the requirement to improve by quadrature). With our personal growth, this is no longer the right to prohibition, but just talking, arguing with friends. People who have power over us give way to those who are simply not indifferent to us. Well, at the last level, students come.

To know or not to know? The Dilemma of the Age of Aquarius
And once again about freedom of choice and fate
05.10.2018I was offered to write an article on the topic “What to do if everything is so bad in your horoscope?” At first I agreed - why not? I would start with the phrase: “Keep living, the worst thing has already happened to you - you were born” and further in an ironic style would relax the bored audience. In essence, this is a publicity stunt. Try to attract for consultation those potential clients who are simply afraid to know the future. What if it's terrible there? It's much easier to die when you don't know why, right?
Man is always striving for something. Everyone has goals, dreams, desires, needs. And in astrology the principles of absolute harmony are encoded. Having understood the principles laid down in each house, we can find the answer to a very important question for ourselves: “How to behave competently in order to achieve our goal?” But only if it's significant. I can’t answer where my beloved cat disappeared and where to look for him using the natal chart. True, horary astrology copes with this. And studying any card you come to the realization of higher harmony. To the meaning and importance of any turn of fate, starting from childhood. To the understanding that tensions are needed for moving forward, and harmony for its transmission to others. To the vision that there is no load without resources. And even if in some way it seems to you that here you are hit harder than others, take a closer look, because there are also moments of abundance in your chart, where they will give you many times more than others.

Any natal chart contains complete information about a person. It describes his psyche, character, response patterns, body characteristics and degree of health, even appearance.

But under everything that is written in it, she is still ready to sign.For any person, something stressful happens several times in a lifetime, something changes in the most ruthless way. Apparently life shake-ups are simply essential for us in order to move towards something. It is proved that man is an inert little animal. And until they kick us into a brighter future, we sit in a dilapidated present and continue to hope for something else. And suddenly, here it is - it began - whirled in the rhythm of a foxtrot. The habitual little world shook from change. Just make sure you dodge.
I am writing this article for those who are like a knight at a crossroads. And only a stone in front of him: if you go to the right - you will lose your horse, to the left - you will not take your head off ...

05.10.2018 This article refers to my early work. Now I myself consider it rather naive and uninformative. But under everything that is written in it, she is still ready to sign.When consulting people, most often you have to deal with human inertia. Even if not everything goes smoothly for us, we tend to adapt and be afraid to change something. All these are ours: “A bad peace is better than a good quarrel”, “To endure - fall in love”, “God endured and ordered us”, “Hour to endure, live forever”
Let everything be flawed, albeit with obvious problems, but who is better now? I don't want to change anything, and you can't force me to.
And by and large, who are we to force? Everyone has the right to decide for himself what happiness is for him and what he is ready to endure.

This article is a kind of continuation of the article "Psychology through the eyes of an astrologer." Or the beginning of such a cycle.
There are houses in the natal chart, they are responsible for the division of all spheres of our life. Each has its own ruler. His activity triggers changes in the sphere under his jurisdiction. The rulers in the radix chart (at the time of birth) are located somewhere.
Life begins - their directional movement forward begins. There will come an inevitable moment of change of sign and change of house.
I have already written about how to use astrological knowledge to achieve your goals. The goal will correspond to some astrological house and all advice is encoded in the principle of this house. Now let's set the goal not to solve some problem, but personal growth as such. So, where should you start if you decide to change yourself?
So what are the transcendental planets for? Not being subject to our control, they move evolution. Both the world and the individual. Uranus teaches to be non-standard, to get out and cope with any difficulties. Neptune opens the inner vision and gives an understanding of the World, Pluto rewards with strength and opportunities. But only those whom I checked and in whom I am sure.
They can be ignored. If they are already invisible and not subject to us. Or you can accept their challenge and change yourself. And even become their guide. But know that there are no workarounds. Genius, vision and power are revealed only in this way.
As always, the choice is yours.
For me, astrology has become, first of all, a tool for understanding this World. And only then the ability to predict and predict. Moreover, as practice shows, those who intuitively or with the help of books and teachers have grasped the laws of being - there is no point in asking them for help. Each aspect will bring exceptional benefit. And even if in some way life has temporarily stalled, then there is something to do in anticipation of change.
All our patterns of behavior are subject to planetary influence. Planets and aspects between them are the forces that put pressure on us, forcing us to act in a certain way. The impact occurs through our desires. At some point, a person simply finds a strong craving for something. For example, you want to make a fuss and clash with everyone, or you want to overeat and gain excess weight, or the job becomes so disgusting that a person quits, simply because he feels that he is no longer able to tolerate such conditions.
Aspects in the natal chart, many astrologers often not only erroneously interpret (having enlisted "knowledge" from the books of American astrologers), but still do not know how to find! The rules that will be discussed in this article will make you look at this element of astrology differently.
Rules for working with aspects:
1. in the natal chart are an order of magnitude less significant than major ones and in most cases can be completely ignored (for example, in horary charts). Excessive passion for them leads to a loss of the overall picture of the horoscope and annoying mistakes. Believe me, a client who turned to an astrologer for advice on whether to agree to a proposed job is much less interested in the karmic background of this situation than a clear and unambiguous answer to the essence of the question of interest.
2. Aspects in the natal chart, whatever they may be, can only be formed between planets located in signs that are in the same aspect. For example, a trigonal aspect can take place only if two planets are located in signs of the same element, a quadrature aspect - only if both planets are in signs of the same quality (cardinal, fixed, mutable), etc. Even if Mercury is in 29 0 59 ‘Aquarius, and Jupiter is in 0 0 01’ Cancer, there is no trine between them, because. they are located in signs of different elements. And it is better not to make exceptions to this rule, even for connections!
3. The more precise the aspect, the stronger its manifestations in the chart. Therefore, the orbs for planetary aspects should be selected following this rule. In practice, an orb of 7-8 0 for conjunction and opposition, 6-7 0 for quadrature and trine, and 3-5 0 for sextile is seen as optimal. I give the “run-up” in orbs, taking into account that for the Septener planets it is slightly larger than for the trans-Saturn ones. If you use or plan to use minor aspects, take 0.5-1 0 for them.
4. For the North and South nodes, only the connection in the orb up to 7-8 0 with the planets, up to 5 0 with the axes of the horoscope and up to 2 0 with other points (cusps, parts) should be taken into account. To connect with the luminaries, especially when such a connection is accompanied by a lunar or solar eclipse the orb of the connection can be increased to 10-13 0 .
5. The division of aspects into "bad and good" is a dangerous delusion. Any aspect formed by evil and hostile planets (which are such in a particular chart) cannot speak of the manifestation of positive qualities of character or a favorable resolution of the situation at the event level. As well as any aspect between benefactors and planets friendly to each other (endowed with such qualities in a particular chart) will not bode something very bad.
The essence of the aspect is not to give quality to the relationship between the planets drawn into it, but to determine the way this interaction will occur:
- with a sextile and a trine, everything will go easily (in the case of good planets, a person will easily get the desired position, and in the case of evil planets, he will lose his job with the same ease);
- with quadrature and conjunction - things will go hard, tensely, with a creak (in the case when beneficent planets are involved - a person will win a well-deserved victory, having passed through certain difficulties by making an effort; when pests are involved in the aspect, all his efforts will not be crowned with success and will end in failure);
- the opposition stands apart in this vein of interpretation and, as a rule, says that the choice or act made according to it will not justify itself, the person will regret it, or return to its original state.
The value that aspects have in the natal chart should be established only taking into account the kindness / malevolence of the planets and their mutual relationship to each other. The degree of kindness of the planets in the horoscope is determined by their essential virtues (zodiacal position). In the signs of their domicile, exaltation, triplicity, the planets tend to show their positive qualities, even if it is Mars or Saturn; in the signs of their fall or exile, the planets always show perverted (“evil”) qualities, even if we are talking about Venus and Jupiter.
An important role is played by the relationship between the planets that form the aspect. If they "hate" each other, then nothing good will come of their interaction, even if they are essentially good ( good guys, "not digesting" each other, will never go on vacation together).
The nature of the relationship of the planets is established by taking into account their receptions. The table below shows how this is determined in practice. For example, Mars, which is in the conditions of the night chart in the third degree of the sign of Pisces, loves Jupiter (as the ruler of the sign), exalts Venus (as the mistress of exaltation and term), appreciates their qualities (located in their own triplicity), quite a little sympathetic Saturn (ruler of the face) and monstrously hates Mercury (lord of fall and exile). Using this approach, you can easily find out the relationship of the planets to each other.
However, even having established the nature of the planets forming the aspect (good / evil) and establishing their relationship (love / hate), one more circumstance should be taken into account - their ability to act (harm or benefit). This is established by finding out their accidental status (taking into account the strength of the astrological houses in which they are located, the direction and speed of their movement, the burning factor, the house of joy, etc.).
If the planets are accidentally weak, then they will not be able to have a significant impact - evil planets will not be able to significantly harm (a criminal who wants to rob your house, but locked in prison, will not be able to carry out his plan), and good ones will not be able to help you (friend I'd love to lend you money, but if he's broke himself, he's unlikely to be able to do it.)
Thus, in order to determine how an aspect will actually manifest in a chart (and whether it will work at all), the astrologer must establish:
- the essential goodness/evil of the planets participating in it;
- reception relationships of the planets that make up the aspect (love/hate);
- their ability to act (accidental status).
Aspects in the natal chart, subject to the rules for working with them, can tell an astrologer a lot about a person or questions asked by him. You just need not to waste your time on trifles and use a technically correct approach to interpreting them when working on a map. By the way, all the rules given here are equally valid not only for natal, but also for other types of charts.
At the time of your birth, the planets were at different distances from the earth and, accordingly, influenced both our planet and each other in different ways. it planetary interaction called aspects.
Aspects- the third most important indicator in considering the horoscope after the planets and zodiac signs. They are determined by the angular relationship between each other in the natal chart. Typically, these angles are multiples of 30° or 45°. The most important, significant aspects are: 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°, 120°, 135°, 150° and 180°.
First group aspects - tense, destructive or negative aspects (different sources use different synonyms). Such aspects are masculine, i.e. belong to the beginning "yan".
Second group aspects - harmonious, or positive, aspects. They belong to the beginning "yin". The third level is the aspect planetary conjunctions, which corresponds to the beginning "Dan".
AT cosmograms various types Aspects are characterized by different influences. The more harmonious aspects in the cosmogram or horoscope of a person, the more stable and stable his life, the more balanced his psyche, personality.
In the horoscope of any person there should be at least a few harmonious aspects. If there are no such aspects in the horoscope at all, then the person was born "crisis", with negative psychology.
Tense Aspects will have a better effect on people with a Yang cosmogram, tk. in the very structure of the Yang cosmogram, there is a temperament that perceives the action of tense aspects not sharply. Tense Aspects such people are only stimulated.
Brahmagupta wrote: "The greatest punishment for a person in life, karmic punishment, is horoscope consisting entirely of harmonious aspects. "In this case, a person does not develop at all. Although, from the point of view of the layman, he lives absolutely wonderfully.
Interpretation of aspects It's both complex and exciting at the same time. Interpretation allows you to understand yourself, your attitude towards your partner, those around you, find the essence of any problem in life, and much, much more. Let's analyze the meanings of the aspects in more detail.
So, planets move around the Sun at different speeds: when viewed from the Earth, they form different corners with each other, measured in degrees and minutes. The main ones are:
Major aspects
Major(or explicit) Aspects- both harmonious and destructive, they directly affect the personality of a person or the process on which the horoscope is built. Major aspects cause active events that are easy enough to identify and track through life.planetary conjunction
planetary conjunction(conjunction) is Dehn's group of aspects. Thus, the conjunction of the planets is a neutral aspect.
The planets included in compound combine their qualities. There is a merging of their defining characteristics. Often the planets color each other according to their qualities.
The more in the cosmogram compounds, the more concentrated the personality will be and the more clearly the general line in human behavior will be expressed.
Typically one or two significant connections form the core of the cosmogram, which contains the main thing that characterizes a person. A person with a pronounced core is a creative person. However, a person with a large number of connections is more subject to circumstances and predestinations.
If the core of the cosmogram consists of good planets, then such a person is focused on achieving great goals. If there are evil planets in the core of the cosmogram, then this means that a person is too focused on something, too subordinate to something in his life, half of the planets form conjunctions, then this is already considered a very large number of them.
This is a changeable and dynamic aspect, which is a concentrated possibility of expression combined with a tendency to direct action and dramatic self-expression.
Sextile
Sextile- this is major aspect discrete action. The angle between the planets in it is 60°, and the orb is ± 3°.
Unlike Trigon. sextile does not provide complete protection, but it is included in some periods of life, softening the blows of fate. The sextile does not constrain, i.e. Does not make a person's life static and monotonous. The more Sextiles in the cosmogram, the easier a person perceives life.
Sextile presupposes Divine creativity, which makes man his instrument on Earth. A person with several Sextiles in the horoscope is spared from surprises and extremes.
If a Sextiles form evil planets, then a person gets used to being protected all the time. In general, a horoscope, with evil planets, saturated with Sextiles, can form a coward during life.
Sextile means life spheres where there is an opportunity to realize alternatives in terms of goals and objectives.
Quadrature
Quadrature corresponds to an angle between the planets of 90° in this aspect is ±4°. Orbis for Sun and Moon ± 5°.
Unlike the Opposition, action squares characterized by discreteness and periodicity. The square does not give tension, but it puts a person in a state of struggle. Often in the cosmogram, it manifests itself in the form of a series of blows inflicted on a person by fate. It is expected that a person will take a series of response actions through which he can defend himself. But if a person is smart enough, sensitive and strong enough, then he will be able to defend himself by delivering preemptive strikes.
For weak amorphous people Quadrature is an unfortunate aspect. But for strong people, it manifests itself not only in striking, but helps a person in the fight. The internal restructuring of a person is not connected with the Square. If it is not in the cosmogram, then the field life's struggle such a person does not have it and it will be difficult for him to realize himself in spiritual life. If a person has a lot of quadratures in the cosmogram and at the same time the element of fire or air (one of the Yang elements) is highlighted, then his life will be easier.
Quadratures observed in the horoscopes of Carter, Bismarck, Fidel Castro, Suvorov. An interesting example is Marshal Zhukov, who was not just a military leader, but a magician (the Sun in conjunction with Pluto in Quadrature with Jupiter). Taurus and Pisces are especially hard on Squares (like solar signs). For them, Quadratures are quite destructive (see the horoscopes of Karl Kraft, Adolf Hitler, Gallileo Galilei, Machiavelli, Nostradamus).
Quadratures they act especially strongly when the planets that form them are in their abodes: for example, Mars in Aries and Saturn in Capricorn. If such a planet falls into the corresponding houses of the horoscope, then a break in life can occur in a person, and possibly more than once.
In the case when a person has the Opposition of Pluto and the Sun and at the same time in the corresponding houses of the horoscope, then this will be a lonely spirit that rebelled against the crowd. And if, besides this Opposition, he has not favorable (harmonizing, red) aspects, then this one will not survive in life.
Quadrature means areas of life where improvement must be made, for which great efforts are needed.
Trin (Trigon)
Trin is a major positive aspect is 120° with an orb of ± 5°.
Orbis for the Sun and Moon ± 6°, for Mercury and Venus ± 4°. Mercury and the Sun ± 5°, for the Sun and Jupiter ± 3°.
If the planet is in its element, in its cross, its zone, then the orbis increases. Orbis is reduced when the planet is in a hostile element, but in its own cross or zone.
planets in trine support each other and create protection for the person - the owner of the Trigon. This is the strongest balancing aspect. The more Trigons in the horoscope, the more stable a person's life, the less shocks.
Trigon is a continuous aspect. If it belongs to the signs of fire, then a choleric temperament becomes characteristic of a person, but at the same time he will be very stable.
If, for example, a woman Trine Venus to Mars in different signs Zodiac, then such a woman is given great confidence in her charm, attractiveness.
Trigon gives absolute protection, but it also fetters a person. The trigon manifests itself in the harmonization of a person's feelings, but it also limits his ability to develop, because. Everything in nature has a positive and a negative side. Trin means creative forces and expansion, this is the most harmonious aspect.
Opposition or opposition of planets
Opposition- this is major tense aspect. The angle between the planets is 180°, and the orbit is ± 5°. An orb of ± 7° is allowed for the Sun and Moon.
Aspect opposition according to the functions of these planets creates a huge tension in a person’s life, in his destiny, in different situations. As a result of this, a person experiences some kind of “displacement” from the adopted position, breaking. Man is faced with a choice. In some cases, with the participation of some planets in the Opposition, this is tantamount to a choice between life and death. Opposition is a permanent aspect. This aspect suppresses a person, breaks him.
At best, a person makes a choice and rebuilds, changes his position, i.e. he can stand and overcome the action opposition. In the worst case, if a person is weak, his life will be accompanied by painful duality.
Most of the aspects are implemented at the event level. However, the implementation of some of them can also occur psychologically. No events occur, but a person has a psychological breakdown. This manifests itself on an internal level. Several Oppositions occurs in warriors or people at risk who have balanced in life, as if walking on a knife edge.
Opposition It is also a situation in which one has to cooperate or break off relations.
These are the main Aspects, which are called major. They have the greatest impact on our lives. followed by a list
