Planets aspect each other when they are placed in certain signs from the signs t
hey are placed.
Every planet aspects other planet who is placed in the opposite sign. For exampl
e, if Sun is in Aries and Saturn is in Libra, then we can say that Sun is aspect
ed by Saturn. Similarly, Saturn is aspected by the Sun. We can also say that Sun
and Saturn both are in mutual aspect to each other.
We can also call this aspect as 7th aspect, because that opposite sign being the
7th sign from the sign of aspecting planet. In the above example, Saturn is in
the 7th sign from the sign of Sun, right...
So, every planet has its 7th sign aspect.
However, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn has two more special aspects being external pl
anets from the Earth in Solar system.
Mars has also its 4th and 8th aspect. That means he can also aspect the planets
placed in the 4th and 8th sign from the sign where mars is placed.
Jupiter has 5th and 9th sign aspects.
Saturn can aspect the planets in the 3rd and 10th signs.
You must remember them.
Summary :
Sun ------> 7th aspect only
Moon -----> 7th aspect only
Mercury--> 7th aspect only
Venus ----> 7th aspect only
Mars ------> 7th, 4th and 8th aspects
Jupiter ---> 7th, 5th and 9th aspects
Saturn ----> 7th, 3rd and 10th aspects
Suppose Mars is in Taurus and Saturn is in Leo. Does there any aspect exist here
?
Well, Mars is aspecting Saturn with its 4th aspect, as Leo being the 4th sign fr
om Taurus, right.
Similarly, here Saturn is also aspecting Mars with its 10th aspect, as Taurus be
ing the 10th sign from Leo !
So, we can say that there exists a mutual aspect between them.
Then what is the significance of this aspect?
How to Interpret Planetary aspects:
We can interpret the intention of the aspecting planet in two ways.
1) by the intrinsic nature of aspecting planet, whether a benefic or malefic one
.
2) by the mutual relationship between the two planets, whether a friend or neutr
al or enemy.
Suppose in the above case, where Saturn and Mars are aspecting mutually, when we
consider from the Saturn's point of view, Mars is the aspecting planet. Now wha
t is the intention of Mars in aspecting Saturn...
1) aspecting planet Mars is an intrinsic malefic planet.
2) Mars is an enemy to Saturn.
So, clearly we can feel that the result of this mutual aspect is definitely a ma
lefic one.
Saturn being in enemies sign (Leo, Sun) and being also aspected by other enemy M
ars who is also an intrinsic malefic one, Saturn is in the situation of a comple
te discomfort and frustration.
In Corporate Astrology, we can interpret above aspect as, Labor or workers (Satu
rn) will become frustrated with the management (Leo-Sun) and additional fuel to
this aggression being added by the union leaders (Mars) and thus situation resul
ts in strike by the labor. Workers try to dominate the management. They become l
azy and narrow-minded. Mars adds fuel to workers whenever necessary.
In Stock Market astrology, we can interpret the above aspect like this.
Mars adds sudden aggression to Market which is under consolidation with negative
bias(lazy) (Saturn's style) and hence disturbing the steady market (Leo-Sun-Fix
ed). However, this rally falls with the same speed with which it raised due to t
amasic nature of this aspect being both Saturn and Mars are Tamasic in nature. S
un being invloved we can say that major sector which will lead the rally should
be PSU.
This is how we should analyze an aspect and its interpretation.
Try to analyze the mutual aspect between Mars in Aquarius and Jupiter in Leo.
Planetary Conjunctions - 1st Sign Aspects:
We can say that Conjunction is nothing but a special case of 1st sign aspect.
If two planets are placed in the same sign, we call that those two planets are i
n conjunction.
In practice we can observe that these conjunctions will become powerful only whe
n angle between them is less than 5 degrees.
Conjunctions are very important in analyzing charts in vedic style.
In fact, Saints gave some meaningful names to some of these conjunctions. They c
alled these conjunctions as 'Yogas'.
1) Gajakesari Yog: a conjunction of Jupiter and Moon. (Benefice)
2) Guru-Mangal yog : Jupiter - Mars. (Benefice)
3) Chandra-Mangal yog : Moon - Mars. (Benefice)
4) Budha-aditya yog : Mercury-Sun. (Benefice)
5) Amavasya yog : Sun-Moon. (Malefic)
6) Guru Chandala yog : Jupiter - Rahu/Ketu. (Malefic)
7) Kshudra Yog ; Saturn - Rahu ( Malefic)
And so many...
Interpretation of Conjunctions...
We can interpret the result of Conjunction similar to a mutual aspect.
We should consider intrinsic nature of both planets involved in conjunction and
also mutual relationship between them whether both are friends or enemies or neu
trals.
Let us consider, conjunction of Mars and Venus.
Mars is a malefic and Venus a benefic, and they are having a neutral relationshi
p. So overall result will be a stable one neither malefic nor benefic. Masculine
nature of Mars will be satisfied by the union of feminine nature of Venus as fa
r as marital happiness is concerned. This conjunction usaully indicates early un
ion with opposite sex. Kama or Desires (sexual or money or luxury) of Venus will
be satisfied by the strong masculine power of Mars. However, results vary accor
ding to the sign in which this conjuction is formed.
In terms of Stock Market Astrology, this conjuction clearly indicating a consoli
dation at higher levels after a sudden rally with high activity. Results will va
ry with sign and aspects recieved by this conjunction.

Lesson 29 : How to Evaluate Planetary Strength & Conjunctions Indepth...
We can feel the strength of a planet.
We have to find out whether that planet is Exalted or Debilitated or in its Own
sign or in a Friendly sign or in Enemy's sign.
Planet is weakest when it is in his Neecha sign and weaker in Enemy's sign.
Similarly, that planet is strongest when it is placed in the order of its Uccha
sign, in its Own sign and its Friendly sign.
Suppose, Mars is in Cancer (Neecha) in conjunction with his enemy Mercury and al
so aspected by another enemy Saturn from Libra. !!?
This could be the worst possible planetary combination in which Mars becomes wea
kest.
We can interpret the condition of Mars as follows:
Mars, which likes to be aggressive and courageous and active, been suppressed by
the emotional feelings created by the Moon (lord of Cancer) and also he is cont
rolled by his Buddhi or intelligence (as in conjunction with Mercury) waiting fo
r the right time to attack. Saturn is trying to take advantage of this weak cond
ition of Mar's and trying to dominate him. Once Mars enters Leo, he suddenly bec
omes powerful and explodes like a bomb.
Thus we have to evaluate strength of a planet.
Difference between a Conjunction and an Aspect...
We already discussed that Conjunction is special case of an aspect.
In an aspect, we have one sided aspect or two sided also known as mutual aspect.
Conjunction is very closer to a mutual aspect in which both planets influence ea
ch other.
Moreover, if we consider the strength of final result of a Conjunction, a mutual
aspect, and one sided aspect, in practical experience we will notice that Conju
nction is the strongest one, and then comes mutual aspect and finally comes one
sided aspect.
Saturn and Mars aspects:
These two planets are most malice and cruel in nature. These two can form a conj
unction(1/1) and two mutual aspects !!?
One of the mutual aspect is formed when these two are in opposite signs (7/7)and
the next mutual aspect form when Mars is in the 10th sign from Saturn(4/10).
These (Mars-Sat) aspects are very important in predicting medium term market mov
ements in 'Stock Market Astrology'.
Conjunction of Sat-Mars is the most dangerous one. Then comes mutual aspect of (
4/10) th aspect, and lastly comes mutual aspect of (7/7) between Saturn and Mars
.
So, Conjunction is nothing but an aspect of (1/1), which is strongest among the
remaining aspects.
We can write a separate book, as far as vedic concepts behind conjunctions are c
oncerned.
What I am teaching is practically reasonable concepts of Vedic Astrology, which
are working well in interpretation of Conjunctions.
As far as your query is concerned, conjunctions can definitely modify the behavi
or of the planets involved in it.
1) when the planets involved are both friends to each other, there qualities imp
rove and the conjunction becomes benefice to the native. Ex. Jup-Mars, Sat-Ven,
Jup-Moon, Moon-Mars etc.
2) when the planets involved are enemies to each other but natural benefics, the
y improve their qualities in the presence of their enemy and thus will prove to
be overall benefice to native. Ex. Jup-Ven, Merc-Jup, Moon-Merc etc.
3) when the planets involved are enemies to each other and also natural malefics
, they become wicked and mean and will seduce the native to take wrong path and
final result will be a disappointing one. Ex. Sat-Mars, Sun-Mars, Sun-Sat, Sat-R
ahu, Sat-Ketu, Mars-Rahu etc.
4) when those planets are natural benefics and also friends, definitely, both pl
anets improve from there drawbacks and imparts benefic results to the native. Ex
. Ven-Merc.
Conjunction with Sun...
Planetary conjunctions with the Sun are very interesting. We can have some astro
nomical clues.
Suppose let us take the conjunction of Sun-Moon. How can we visualize this conju
nction with respect to Earth? We already discussed that this conjunction is noth
ing but what we call an 'Amavasya'. When Sun, Moon and Earth are in a line, with
Moon is in between Sun and Earth Amavasya is formed. So w.r.t Earth Sun and Moo
n are in conjunction.
Similarly, when we consider conjunctions of Sun-Mars, Sun-Jupiter and Sun-Saturn
we have to visualize same as above. However here Sun is in between these three
planets and the Earth. So, these three planets are at the maximum distance from
the Earth during their conjunctions with the Sun. We know that according to Grav
itational Formula (G*m1*m2/R*R) as the distance between the two planets increase
s force of attraction between those planets decreases inversely.
So, during the conjunction of Sun and Mars, Mars becomes weaker somewhat. And al
so Mars is behind the bright light of the Sun, so rays from Mars may not reach E
arth. And hence final conclusions regarding these three conjunctions are :
1) during these conjunctions Mars, Jupiter and Saturn become weaker.
2) during these conjunctions these planets are at maximum distance from the Eart
h.
Then what about the conjunctions of Sun-Merc and Sun-Ven?
Two kinds of Conjunctions can form with both Mercury and Venus to the Sun.
1) when one of these planets is in between the Sun and the Earth, called 'inferi
or conjunction'.
2) when the Sun is in between one of these planets and Earth, called as 'Superio
r Conjunction''.
In Superior conjunction Mercury and Venus are at maximum distance to the Earth a
nd hence become weaker.
Superior Conjunction of Sun and Venus is called 'Shukra Moudyam' in Panchangas.
Pundits say that during Shukra Moudya we should avoid marriages and other auspic
ious functions, as Venus is weaker.
In all these conjunctions with the Sun, Sun never gets weaker !
Sun is natural malefic and Venus is natural benefic. Both are enemies to each ot
her. Sun is a masculine planet while Venus is feminine. Sun is having higher amb
itions and goals (Sattvic) while Venus is with full of passions and desires (Raj
as).
A perfect union to achieve royal challenges. Very social. Extrovert. Social rela
tionships with higher authorities or government officials or royal families etc.
. Higher targets and ambitions. Charming. Royal looks. These people will not mar
ry till they get an equivalent partner in royalty. Fire of Sun will be calmed do
wn with the watery nature of Venus. When this conjunction is formed in Leo, roya
l marriages took place.
Sun likes to be in sattvic nature by doing his selfless duties and responsibilit
ies, without expecting any fruits or returns. While Venus highly rajastic in nat
ure with full of desires and passions causing greediness and selfishness.
When a conjunction of these two planets occurs, a correct balance between sattvi
c and rajas nature occurs and thus that conjunction will lead to very benefic re
sults to the native or to the nation or to the stocks markets etc.
Above are the general predictions about Sun and Venus conjunction. These results
will modify according to the Sign in which this conjunction is formed and aspec
ts received by this conjunction.
