There are five common major aspects, created by dividing that 360-degree circle of the cosmos by 1, 2, 3, and 4. These angles are what we call planetary aspects. Planets move through different houses and zodiac signs, and as they move, they send messages to each other when they link at certain mathematical angles. 360 total degrees divided by 12 = 30 degrees in each house. When we’re looking at a 360-degree view of the sky, we divide the circle into 12 houses. (To put it simply, Sun = ego, Moon = emotions, Mercury = mind/communication, Venus = love, Mars = sex, Jupiter = luck, Saturn = discipline, Uranus = change, Neptune = spirit, Pluto = transformation.) Each planet (which in astrology includes the Sun and Moon, aka the “luminaries”) represents an energetic force within us, or a component of life. So, what’s an aspect, exactly? First, some background: Astrology is the observation of the connections between the planets, the Sun, and the Moon from our perspective on Earth. Whether you’re consulting a handy-dandy birth chart (yours, your celebrity crush’s, your real-life crush’s, the potential new pal you met at the work mixer, etc.) or you just want to know what the current astrological weather is like, it’s crucial to take a peek at the planets for some insight into the overall MOOD. Planetary aspects are v important because they are “the conversations” happening in the sky. So you’re an astrology newbie, but you want to get to the next level.
