The aspects

18 February 1954, 14:53, Englewood Cliffs, NJ, USA

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to John 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 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 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 Neptune

With this trine, you have a pleasant, mild and kind nature. You are usually good-natured, well-intentioned, sensitive and emotional, also very understanding and compassionate, that is why others often instinctively choose you for listener and also adviser. You love nature and all beautiful things, art and also often have a talent for it, especially music, painting and photography. You have good memory, vivid imagination, well developed intuition and rich inner world and know how to use these characteristics well and they are useful to you in all areas, also in business (although it is not necessary that you are very ambitious and enterprising). You somehow sense the right opportunity and go with the flow, things then run smoothly for you, sometimes it seems, as if they are happening on their own (unless, of course, inconvenient aspects or positions prevail).

Sun opposition Pluto

With such aspect, you have enormous inner strength and energy, which you don't often know how to direct, use and control well. You are usually very impulsive and temperamental, also decisive and stubborn and if you set a goal for yourself, you often do almost anything to fulfill it. Therefore, you are sometimes even rough and violent and don't have much understanding of others and their sensitivity, you on the other hand put up with a lot and can experience unbelievable exertions to realize what you want. Because of your impetuousness and intensity, you are most often the one who disables good results, so it is your task in life to learn to be patient, mild and tolerant. It is very advisable for you to be involved in sports.

Sun inconjunct Ascendant

You have a lot of charm and inner energy, but you often have difficulty harmonizing your everyday life with your business side and public image. Other people's opinion of you is usually very important to you and you can sometimes slightly hide your true personality at the cost of success or at the cost of enabling a good image for yourself. You are often torn between excessive self-confidence and bad self-image. It is advisable for you to find work or hobby, where you can express your inner potentials well and bring them into the open (e.g. acting or performing in public).

Moon opposition Mercury

Such aspect usually brings exaggerated sensitivity and inner unrest; you are extremely sensitive to stimuli from the environment and you react to everything strongly and often exaggeratedly. You gather all imprints and often have problems distinguishing between what is really important and between unimportant information, because you absorb everything intensely. Therefore, you are often involved with unimportant trivialities and you give them too much importance. You are eager, sometimes slapdash and consequently also dispersed and forgetful. You often start doing things, but don't finish them. You need firmness, stability and mild guidance. It is advisable for you to express yourself in creative ways (drawing, painting, writing, music, etc.) and to nurture attention and dedication.

Moon opposition Venus

This aspect influences strong emotions and sometimes gives the feeling of inner unfulfillment, so although you are shy, you are often greedy in your emotions and responses; you quickly get upset and react strongly. Because you invest a lot in emotional relationships, you sometimes expect too much, so in this area you often experience disappointment. 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. You love pleasures of all kinds (and if other positions or aspects contribute to it, you can be prone to having health issues, such as problems with circulation and obesity). For you it is advisable to be in contact with nature; contact with earth and water is very healing.

Moon square Mars

You are usually a fast, restless and impulsive person. For you, everything is happening too slowly, because you tend to act (too)fast and also to speed up events, which sometimes leads to having conflicts with others. You have a lot of energy, which you know how to direct and use well. You have a very passionate nature and are often involved in dramatic relationships, sometimes also colored with violence (if other aspects or positions also indicate this). You are combative and competitive, have an eager and impetuous character, that is why others sometimes hardly keep up with your tempo and they find you difficult. It is useful and advisable for you to be involved in any kind of sport.

Moon square Jupiter

You are usually an emotional, impulsive and eager person. You indulge in enjoying all life's pleasures, often you are insatiable in everything, sometimes you are prone to being lazy. You usually have a very passionate and dramatic nature and need a lot of attention and other people to be dealing with you. You are immensely curious and not always the most tactful nor patient. With your appearance, you often take over the whole room and outshadow others. Because you are prone to enjoying and exaggerating, you can have problems with excessive weight, that is why it is useful for you to do sports (especially outdoor), which are also a great way for releasing and calming down your impetuousness.

Moon sextile Saturn

Namely, you can see the goal, but not the course of events and sometimes, in your strong enthusiasm to achieve the goal as soon as possible, you can choose not the most honorary way to reach it. That is why you often have problems with unsporting people on your way to success, because you forget you can often quickly become just as unsupporting.

Mercury square Jupiter

You are restless, impetuous, something must always be happening to you. You are talkative, prone to exaggerating and dramatizing and you usually like being in center of attention.
