The Sun never moves greater than 23.44° North or South, but some of the other planets do (e.g. The equinoxes are when the Sun crosses the Equator in March and September. These extreme positions represent the solstices which occur in June and December. When the Sun is at its most northerly it is summer in the Northern hemisphere and winter in the Southern, and vice versa when the Sun is at its most southerly position. This movement is most familiar to us as the Sun's apparent position changes during the year creating the seasons. Figure 4 shows this osculation as a sine wave movement from a maximum northerly position to a minimum southerly one. Another way of expressing it is that the planets oscillate from a maximum to a minimum. They are similar in that they are a measurement of the movement of the planets when the Solar System is view from the side. The declinations and latitudes exist in the geocentric and heliocentric perspectives respectively. Let's first look at the aspect in the declinations/latitudes before looking at some examples. Aspects when dividing the longitude circle into twelve equal parts NameĬan be positive or negative depending on the planet involvedĬomplicated negative for Saturnian-type planets, can also be too powerful and difficult to handle for other planets if too close to exact Division of a circle into twelve equal parts. This is the most familiar and common way of division and gives us the twelve signs of the Zodiac and the houses.įigure 3. Aspects when dividing the longitude circle into seven equal parts Nameĭividing the circle into twelve equal parts (Figure 2) gives us segments of 30° and we consider seven aspects here (Table 3). Division of a circle into seven equal parts. Aspects when dividing the longitude circle into five equal parts NameĬan be positive of negative depending on the planet involvedĭividing the circle into seven equal parts (Figure 2) gives us segments of 51.429° and we consider four aspects here (Table 2).įigure 2. Division of a circle into five equal parts. We allow a certain margin around the exact degree of an aspect, called an orb, which we'll discuss later.ĭividing the circle into five equal parts (Figure 1) gives us segments of 72° and we consider three aspects here (Table 1).įigure 1. It is included in the discussion of each of the different division types for completeness. The conjunction is common to all of these and is when one planet is very close to another or 0° apart. There are three main types to consider here and they are based on dividing the circle into five, seven and twelve equal parts. The planets' movements are simplified to circles and the aspects in this dimension are when the planets are at specific angles to one another. The longitudes of the geocentric and heliocentric charts are very similar. To Magi Astrologers, the aspects are the tools of our trade. Aspects are geometric relationships between planets, or where the planets lie in relation to each other.
