Astrology
Aspect
Definition
The angular relationship between two points in an astrological chart, measured in degrees — such as a conjunction (0°), sextile (60°), square (90°), trine (120°), or opposition (180°).
An aspect is the angular relationship between two points in an astrological chart, measured in degrees. The major aspects are the conjunction (0°), sextile (60°), square (90°), trine (120°), and opposition (180°).
Aspects are how astrology reads interaction: they describe how two planets or points relate — harmoniously (trines, sextiles) or with tension (squares, oppositions). They’re central to almost every technique. A transit matters because of the aspect it makes to your natal chart; a relationship reading looks at the aspects between two people’s charts. The angle is the grammar; the planets are the vocabulary.
