Aspects are also important when thinking about astrological compatibility between two people. We can identify these aspects within our own charts, but on a daily basis, the planets in the sky are always forming aspects, affecting the energy of the day. We'll get into what each means later on, but essentially, an aspect represents a relationship between two planets' positions relative to each other (i.e., Sun conjunct Venus).Īs astrologer and author of Queer Cosmos Colin Bedell explains to mbg, 'Each relationship of an aspect talks to a particular theme-some that feel a little bit more tension, which can provide some opportunity for growth, and then other aspects can have a little bit more ease, which may offer some complementing energy.'
The five major aspects in astrology are conjunctions, sextiles, squares, trines, and oppositions.
