The aspects

3 February 1874, 08:00, Pittsburgh, PA, USA

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Gertrude as “you”.

Important elements of every horoscope are also the aspects – they are angles which the planets and other important points form with each other.

Here, we consider six most important aspects: Conjunction (0 degrees), Sextile (60 degrees), Square (90 degrees), Trine (120 degrees), Inconjunction (150 degrees), Opposition (180 degrees).

The more accurate the angle between two planets is, the more important and influential is their relationship in your horoscope. When calculating the aspects, we also consider a certain deviation, which depends on the importance of the aspect and the planets involved (deviation can be anywhere from 5 to 10 degrees of the exact angle).

There are also many smaller aspects, which are only important, if they are very accurate (up to 1 degree) and they, of course, have smaller power or influence. They can be of help with a more detailed and deeper analysis or description of personal horoscope, but for now, we do not take them into consideration.

Continue reading the analysis for all your aspects.

Sun conjunction Mercury

Conjunction is actually the only aspect which the Sun and Mercury can form, because the maximum distance between them is less than 30 degrees (and so less than one astrological sign). You are usually a dynamic, moveable and persuasive person and usually have good ability of speech and communication. You quickly make conclusions and connections (unless Mercury is in another bad aspect or goes retrograde) and you often also have a good nose for business, you also master the art of bluffing. You have a sharp and quick mind, sense of detail and you are cunning, although you are also often talented in languages, writing, music and art. You are very sociable, also easy going and adaptable, that is why you have many acquaintances and friends and people, as a rule, like you and often invite you places. You have an audacious, curious and youthful nature and often also looks.

Sun conjunction Venus

Because of such an aspect, you are kind and good-natured and you usually also have a pleasant look, you are often even a very attractive person and in general, you radiate warmness and heartiness. You love life and all pleasures – good food (that is why you often have to fight obesity) and drink, music, art and all other good things in life, including friendships, love and sex. Sometimes you tend to be lazy and take the line of least resistance. You appreciate simple values, are friendly and usually hospitable and people mostly like you because of these characteristics. You often have a talent for artistic professions and can be very successful in them. Because in astrology Venus is attributed a happy and good meaning, your life is mostly accompanied by happiness and good health (unless other strong aspects don't indicate differently). Often, this aspect also promises fertility.

Sun opposition Uranus

With such aspect, you are free-spirited, open and progressive, yet often also restless, tense and impulsive. You often have a very rebellious and hard to control character, you are sometimes prone to being eccentric. You often live in a world of your own and are pretty individualistic, so you don't always get understanding from others and your behavior, methods and ways are not always generally approved of. Therefore, it sometimes happens, that you have problems with your environment, you can also have conflicts with authorities. You are often torn between complete detachment and apathy and excessive enthusiasm and even fanaticism (if other positions and aspects don't ease this or help you to use your big creative potential in a constructive way).

Sun square Pluto

You mostly have an impetuous and fiery nature and an enormous amount of inner strength, but unfortunately, you often can't or are unable to constructively direct and use it. You often get upset and are frequently hot-tempered and frustrated, you are also not very tactful and diplomatic. However, because of your temperament and exciting energy, you usually attract other people very much and often also have a strong influence on them. You are driven by a certain inner dissatisfaction or frustration, because of which you seem ambitious and stubborn, persistent and competitive, consequently often also successful.

Moon inconjunct Venus Luna

You usually have strong emotions and are prone to indulge in pleasures, even excessively, but often this is just because you want to satisfy your strong emotional desires and needs. This can also contribute to health problems (of female nature – of course if other aspects also influence this). Emotionally, you can be greedy and impatient, passionate, but also shy. That is why it is very useful for you to have contact with earth and nature, also to do household chores, which can be some kind of meditation for you.

Moon inconjunct Saturn

You are usually more reserved and shy and you can seem cold and unreachable, so people don't always feel the most relaxed in your company. Unfortunately, you actually don't always relax in company; you often have a bad self-image and are too involved with worries and fears, also with opinions of others, so you often somehow stiffen in an emotional sense. It is important that you also acknowledge your emotional part and in it, nurture relaxation and acceptance.

Moon square MC

You are enterprising and ambitious, but often very sensitive to the opinion of others, especially to criticism and you sometimes face your shortcomings and/or flaws with difficulty. Sometimes you set goals that are too high and lose will on the way, that is why it is useful for you to set smaller goals and to fulfill them as you go along and gradually. Because you are over-sensitive, you sometimes cooperate with others with more difficulty, but in time you surpass this and your cooperation with others becomes more successful. You often move in artistic circles, where you perhaps also work, you are also attracted to businesses and you do a lot of business, especially in marketing, catering and tourism.

Mercury conjunction Venus

You are usually a good-spirited person and have a pleasant nature, are sociable and talkative, you always find a way to express your creativity. You love children, animals, nature and art and often your work (or hobby) is connected to them. You are also skilled in household chores, especially those which are connected to handwork and systematization (e.g. organizing, tidying, putting things in order).

Mercury opposition Uranus

You have exceptional intellectual abilities and you are usually intelligent and capable of abstract thinking, however, you do sometimes sort of distance yourself from others and lose contact with the world and reality. Because of your multifacetedness and exceptional width, those around you often don't understand you or you are sort of “before your time”. Because you don't always have the right feedback, since others can't always keep up with you, you then withdraw into your own world even more and distance yourself from others and can be caught in a vicious circle. You need to find the right way to express your inventive and original ideas, so you can be useful also to others, although not always at that particular time.:)

Mercury square Pluto

You are intensive and impetuous, you have a lot of energy, but you often don't know what to do with it and therefor can act irritably, argumentatively or even violently, especially verbally. You have an ambitious and combative, usually also very competitive character. You are a perspicacious person and not too patient and also not always the most tactful. Because of these characteristics, you can be difficult to other people and have problems in relationships. You are not too adaptable and don't like making compromises, that is also your test, because you need to nurture this.

Venus conjunction Saturn

You are usually friendly, polite and respectful, yet reserved and shy. You have a serious, reliable and responsible character. You behave like an adult already from at a young age. You find it hard to relax, have fun and enjoy. This is often the result of strict upbringing or lack of warmth and love or loving environment in childhood.

Venus opposition Uranus

You are somehow special, exciting and attractive, you have many acquaintances and connections, but you don't always have understanding for other people and you are not too adaptable, so your emotional relationships are often difficult or special; perhaps you make relationships that others find unusual or even unacceptable or you are completely devoted to a goal (because, it is much easier for you to devote yourself to a goal than to emotional relationships). You have your own values, which others don't always find acceptable.

Venus sextile MC

You are friendly and agreeable, you have a warm and positive character, you are always nice to people, are well-brought up and well-behaved, that is why you are liked everywhere and have numerous friendships, which can also be beneficial for you.

Mars opposition Jupiter

You have a lot of energy and enormous physical strength, which you don't always control well. You like exaggerating, you have strong emotions and reactions, you are passionate and often too dramatic. You have impetuous and explosive, eager and insatiable character. You expect and demand too much from yourself and others, but mostly you don't have the right and calm approach, so you are often in conflict with yourself and the outer world. You like speed, you are interested in sport and also danger, you are quickly drawn to paths which can prove to be thoughtless. Your inner dissatisfaction can originate from early life period, which perhaps wasn't the calmest and you also have this pattern later in life.

Jupiter trine Saturn

You are usually friendly, polite and respectful. You appreciate traditional values and knowledge, understand hierarchy well and you respect authorities, since your intention is to someday become an authority yourself (and you often succeed). You are fair, honest and noble, so you usually have a good reputation, people respect you and value your opinion.

Saturn opposition Uranus

You are usually extremely individualistic, stubborn and also rebellious. You often feel torn between being old-fashioned and conservative, between novelties and progress. You are critical towards authorities and don't always and self-evidently have respect towards them.

Saturn sextile MC

You are friendly, considerate, tolerant and tactful, usually quiet and reserved, also polite and respectful, that is why you can get along with everybody, but you are not very sociable and don't have the habit of standing out. You are interested in science and history, are eager to learn and you respect knowledge and experiences, elders and authorities, with who you can have good relationships and/or they help you or are useful to you.

Uranus trine MC

You are usually pleasant and lively, clever and inventive, emotional and intuitive. You are perceptive, accepting and have modern views. You are curious and interested in everything, you are enthusiastic about new methods and approaches, you also often introduce and initiate them. Your original and innovative ideas, although at first glance perhaps unusual or even unrealizable, can also be understood by others and you can get good feedback and perhaps you create something new and/or interesting, which perhaps would not be realized with a different approach and way.

Neptune sextile Ascendant

You are pleasant, kind and agreeable, easy-going, flexible and fluent. You have an emotional and compassionate, mild, benevolent and understanding character, that is why other people usually like you, you get along with them well and have harmonious relationships.

Pluto square Ascendant

You are energetic, active, you have enormous strength, but you don't often direct and use it sensibly. You have a very impetuous, fiery, passionate and impulsive character, your emotions are strong and you experience and react to everything tumultuously. You often get upset and angry, also argumentative, so you sometimes find it difficult to get along with others and others with you. You do everything with enthusiasm and with fire and also want immediate results, if there are no, you get impatient and want to speed things up, while those around you see this as pressure and/or even violence. You need to nurture calmness and compassion.
