James Brown’s birth chart

The aspects

3 May 1933, 12:10, Barnwell, SC, USA

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to James 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.

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.
