⋯ ASTRO ASPECTS ⋯

There are 7 major aspects that astrologers look at ↠ there's "soft" aspects (conjunct, sextile, trine) and "hard" aspects (semisextile, square, quincunx, opposite).
It's vital that we understand what each aspect means and how they work when reading charts and horoscopes. Astrologers reference these terms daily!
⋆Conjunct ↠ when two planets are in the same sign.

Two planets are considered conjunct when they are travelling close together in the same zodiac sign. The energies of the planets or points involved is said to blend and merge somewhat.
Conjunctions can be an extremely powerful alliance - either challenging or harmonious, depending on the energies involved.
⋆Sextile ↠ when two planets are two signs apart.

When two planets are sextile, they are in a highly harmonious position. These aspects bring happy vibes, friendly interactions and general good cheer.
In a sextile, both planets are either in "yin" (earth or water) or "yang (fire or air) signs. The energy flows together and is highly compatible, not in conflict!!

⋆Trine ↠ when two planets are four signs apart.

When two planets are trine, they are in their highest-vibe state of synchronicity. These planets are in the same element - fire, earth, air, or water - so they are operating with the same goals, energy and agenda.
Trines are a mega-blast of the same kind of energy. Because of this, trines can give us TOO much of a good thing. This excess can be destructive. These aspects should be carefully managed in order to successfully direct the abundance of this specific type of energy.

⋆Semisextile ↠ when two planets are one sign apart.

This aspect is very mild, barely noticeable, almost insignificant. It is considered by some astrologers as mildly beneficial, but since it connects signs of different elements and qualities, it may actually be mildly -
- difficult, awkward, or uncomfortable. This aspect should be interpreted by taking into account the rest of the chart for more insight!!
⋆Square ↠ when two planets are three signs apart.

Squares happen when two planets are 90 degrees apart. They share the same astrological "quality" (cardinal, mutable, or fixed), but nothing else.

When two planets are square, it's like a tug of war extraordinaire!
With squares, get ready for a showdown, as each side digs its heels in and resists the necessary compromise. Yet, to resolve the stress of a square, each side must give a little and meet the other in the middle. Stubbornness ensues—the (cosmic) struggle is real!!

⋆Quincunx↠ when two planets are five signs apart.

When two planets are quincunx, it creates an eccentric angle where the zodiac signs have absolutely nothing in common. Awkwaaaard! In fact, they can seem like aliens to each other, operating so differently that major -
adjustments need to be made for them to cooperate.

The planets involved have completely different missions; they have no shared traits, elements or qualities, and can work with cross-purposes. With a quincunx we have to serve both planets & their contrasting agendas all at once.

⋆Aquarius: Cancer, Virgo

⋆Opposite ↠ when two planets are six signs apart.

When two planets are opposite, they are as far apart of a distance as they can possibly get. Oppositions create dynamic tension but they also bring two extremes together, which can be extremely powerful if everyone plays fair.
With oppositions, compromise will definitely be called for - it’s like two people from opposite parts of the world sitting down for a summit on a key issue. Balance, please!!
