2 The truth behind positive aspects

The positive aspects include the conjunction, the trine, and the sextile. You might have heard those terms before, but never understood exactly what they mean. Let's break it down. The conjunction is a ten degree angle which means that these two planets are close to each other, right next to each other as a matter of fact, and work towards the same goal. The trine is a one hundred and twenty degree angle which is an alignment that happens so organically that the signs don't even realize they are working together for harmony. There is a slight danger that these two signs work together so seamlessly that they can become lazy. The sextile is a sixty degree angle which means these two signs have fun together because they play upon each other's elements; essentially, they activate each other in a prosperous way.

1 The truth behind negative aspects

The negative aspects are usually called the hard aspects which is easy to translate to difficulties. It's equally as important to understand the hard aspects as it is the positive ones. First, there's the square which is a ninety degree angle; these two signs don't make sense together, can cause chaos, and overall a sense of anger or rage. They could work out together if you understand the goal of each planet as they affect the houses. Next is the opposition, a one hundred and eighty degree angle that might have signs working on the same idea, but not in the same way; this can repel the overall feeling of the signs and lead to a compromise that will make things feel unbalanced. Finally, the in-conjunct or quincunx, the one hundred and fifty degree angle that has a rebellious aspect and can feel extremely stubborn; both signs want something different and are not willing to work together for the overall good.
