Trines bring luck, harmony, and opportunity. This aspect is called a trine, which means that the planets will be in the same element-fire, earth, air, or water.

Get ready for good vibes, bb! Next on our list is when two planets are four zodiac signs apart, or roughly 120 degrees. However, challenges in astrology can also bring the greatest rewards because they teach you to find your strength and create solutions. In transiting astrology, the days that Mars is square to Saturn will bring frustrations and obstacles to you as you’re pursuing your goals. Welp, that means you will often feel blocked and criticized by the world-especially around how you express yourself and pursue your passions. As an example, let’s say you have Mars square Saturn in your natal chart. The best way to navigate this awk energy is to do your best to compromise. Squares often bring tension, struggles, and conflict, with each planet not seeing eye to eye. Get ready for a battle as each planet steps into the center of the ring to trade blows! When two planets are in a square, they share an astrological quality-they’re both cardinal, fixed, or mutable signs-but don’t have much else in common!

Yikes! One step further than a sextile is a square: Two planets are separated by three zodiac signs, meaning they are roughly 90 degrees apart. Your Zodiac Sign’s Element Can ~Ground~ You.I’m getting butterflies just thinking about it! If the planets are linked in a sextile on a random day, we will be more openhearted at this time, likely pulled toward beauty, romance, or art. If it’s taking place in your birth chart, you are blessed with creativity and a romantic demeanor. An opportunity may present itself if we seize the day to take action and uncover it.įor instance, let’s say Venus and Neptune are sextile. Sextiles are often happy and chill, bringing good moods and camaraderie. Since these planets are in compatible elements two zodiac signs apart (earth + water or fire + air), they support one another and flow easily. If two planets are separated by two zodiac signs and are roughly 60 degrees apart, we get one of the sweetest aspects of all-the sextile. If you have your Sun and Moon conjunct in your natal chart, it not only means you were born on a New Moon (or in some cases, a solar eclipse) but also that you will have an easy time synergizing your conscious and subconscious in the pursuit of your goals throughout your entire life. In transiting astrology (“astro weather”), we can expect this day to be especially potent.Ĭonjunctions in transiting astrology mark new beginnings too: For instance, when the Sun and Moon form a conjunction, it creates a New Moon. This can create a perfect alliance or bring intensity.

When two planets are close to each other in the sky (within a couple of degrees, usually in the same zodiac sign), this means they form a conjunction and their energy is blended in unison. Here’s a list of some of the major aspects and what they do to our lives. There are five common major aspects, created by dividing that 360-degree circle of the cosmos by 1, 2, 3, and 4. These angles are what we call planetary aspects. Planets move through different houses and zodiac signs, and as they move, they send messages to each other when they link at certain mathematical angles. 360 total degrees divided by 12 = 30 degrees in each house. When we’re looking at a 360-degree view of the sky, we divide the circle into 12 houses.
