Definition:
In astrology, the "aspect" is an angular relationship between planets and other points in
the horoscope. Some aspects are considered good, others are considered bad and still
others are simply neutral. For example, a "square" aspect is "bad" but when two planets
have a "trine" aspect, that is "good."
Aspects are tradtionally divided into two types: Major and Minor aspects. The Major aspects include: Conjunction (0 degrees), Sextile (60 degrees), Square (90 degrees), Trine (120 degrees), and Opposition (180 degrees).
The Minor aspects are: Semi-Sextile (30 degrees), Semi-Square (45 degrees), Sesquare (135 degrees), and Quincunx (150 degrees). Astrologers vary in how these aspects are interpreted and the degree to which they have an impact upon various signs.
