Astrological Aspects: Conjunction, Square, Trine and More

Aspects are the angles planets form with one another. They show whether two planetary themes cooperate or clash.

Conjunction 0°

Two energies merge and intensify—benign or challenging depending on the pair.

Sextile 60°

A cooperative angle; opportunities that reward effort.

Square 90°

Friction and tension that drive growth.

Trine 120°

Easy flow; natural talent.

Opposition 180°

A tug-of-war that teaches balance, often through relationships.

Orbs

An aspect counts within a few degrees of exact—the orb. We use 8° for conjunctions and oppositions, 6° for squares and trines and 4° for sextiles, plus 2° when the Sun or Moon is involved. Tighter orbs are stronger.
