The Aspect Graph chart from Astrodienst
The Conjunction. The conjunction is formed when two planets are at approximately the same degree of the same sign. If this symbol appeared on the fourth row of the graph under the symbol for the Sun, it would mean that the Sun and Venus were in conjunction. If it appeared under the symbol of the Sun on the 10th row it would mean that the Sun and Pluto (see Pluto note below) were in conjunction. In a conjunction, the energies of the two planets are combined, and often the result is a strengthening of both. Note: The symbol looking like the letters P & L combined on the atlas graph, is the original symbol for Pluto. The Sextile.Sextiles occur when two planets are approximately 60 degrees* apart. This is the aspect of opportunity. The Square.Squares occur when two planets are approximately 90 degrees* apart. Square cause the friction and the hurdles that causes us to grow and become productive. The Trine.A trine occurs when two planets are approximately 120 degrees* apart. Trines bring about ease and comfort. The opposition.The opposition occurs when two planets are about 180 degrees* apart. As the name implies, opposition are obstacles that must be resolved.
Recommended orbs:
Therefore, I would personally choose to ignore some of the aspects shown on the grid when the orb is larger. Start with the Sun, then the Moon, and in order, Mercury, Venus and Mars. List all of the aspects that apply. Now go find and record the probable meaning of each aspect.
