Placements of the planets


Eaving esta9lished the relative positions of the signs in the ho ses$ the astrologer positions the s n$ )oon$ and planets at their rightf l celestial longit des.

(his is a 9ranch of astrolog" known as natal astrology$ which involves 9 ilding a co)plete pict re of the personalit" of the s 9:ect$ or native. 8nterpretation involves two )ain steps 5 chart weighting and chart shaping. Chart weighting involves noting the distri9 tion of zodiac signs and ho ses in the chart$ and the significance of this to the overall personalit" of the native.

Approach
8n )edieval astrolog"$ certain aspects$ like certain planets$ were considered to 9e either favora9le -9enefic7 or nfavora9le -)alefic7. &odern sage places less e)phasis on these fatalistic distinctions. (he )ore )odern approach to astrological aspects$ gro nded )ore on ps"cholog" and tendencies$ is exe)plified 9" research on astrological har)onics$ of which !ohn Adde" was a )a:or proponent$ and which !ohannes @epler earlier advocated in his 9ook Harmonice Mundi in #6#>.

Conjunction

A con: nction -a9rv. +on7 is an angle of approxi)atel" 05#0K. An or9 of approxi)atel" #0K is s all" considered a con: nction$ however if neither the S n or &oon is involved$ so)e consider the con: nction to 9e a separation -or97 of onl" a9o t 0P0=K.

(he S n and &oon are in con: nction )onthl" d ring the New &oon.

Sextile intermediate major/minor aspect

A sextile -a9rv. SRt or Sex7 is an angle of 60K -#/6 of the 360K ecliptic$ or #/% of a trine M#%0KN7. A separation -or97 of 60P00K is considered a sextile. (he sextile has 9een traditionall" said to 9e si)ilar in infl ence to the trine$ 9 t of less significance. 8t indicates ease of co)) nication 9etween the two ele)ents involved$ with co)pati9ilit" and har)on" 9etween the)$ 9 t onl" provides opport nit"$ reG iring effort to gain its 9enefits.

Square

A sG are -a9rv. SSr or SG 7 is an angle of >0K -#/0 of the 360K ecliptic$ or #/% of an opposition M#=0KN7. An or9 of so)ewhere 9etween 6K and #0KM#N is s all" allowed.

Trine

A trine -a9rv. (ri7 is an angle of #%0K -#/3 of the 360K ecliptic7. A separation -or97 of #%0P00K is considered a trine. (he trine indicates har)on"$ and ease of expression$ with the two ele)ents reinforcing each other. (he trine is a so rce of artistic and creative
