The aspects

31 August 1928, 22:10, Laurel, NE, 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.

Sun square Mars

You are usually restless, passionate, impetuous, full of a certain inner tension, but also dynamic, swift and flexible. You have a competitive, motivated and ambitious nature, that is why you can be very successful in sports (if you are not involved with sports professionally, then at least as a hobby or you are very interested in it). You quickly get upset and often tend to be aggressive and you can experience some injuries with your haste and impetuousness. If other positions or aspects also indicate it, you are a workaholic and often overestimate your strengths and abilities, that is why you are also often under stress.

Sun trine Jupiter

With such trine you are usually open, friendly and good-natured, that is why people like you and feel good in your company and around you. You like having fun and enjoying and you combine this quite successfully with the business side, so that you usually do pretty well in life (if, of course, other stronger and more unpleasant aspects don't prevail). You plan a lot, you always look forward and you often educate yourself and grow on both personal and spiritual level. You love children, nature and animals and all beautiful and good things in general. You are prone to exaggerating and dramatizing.

Perhaps you had conservative up-bringing with powerful father or some other male influence.

Because of this inner thrust, you are motivated and persistent and you often also achieve success, although you progress slowly.

Sun inconjunct Uranus

You are usually free-spirited and also rebellious, you need to constantly learn to adapt and cooperate with others. On one hand, you are cheerful, open and very sociable, on the other hand, you often withdraw into your inner world and perhaps feel that others don't understand you, that you don't fit in anywhere, etc. It is important for you that you find work (or hobby) which will satisfy your need for creative freedom and original expression.

Being too enthusiastic, you sometimes experience just the opposite of what you want, so with excessive display of love, which is actually an eager desire for it, you drive away some people instead of attracting them.
