Western Astrology
Western astrology frequently describes five major angular aspects between planetary positions: conjunction, sextile, square, trine and opposition. This topic explains their geometric definitions and separates exact angles from the traditional meanings assigned to them.
The orb is a chosen tolerance, not a physical property of the sky. Compare worked angular examples, learn why wraparound at 360 degrees matters, and distinguish the aspects actually supported by Galaxiora from techniques described for educational purposes only.
