Aspects

When two planets stand a precise angular distance apart on the ecliptic, they form an aspect — a conversation written in geometry across the 360° circle. Some of those conversations are fluid and reinforcing; others are charged, demanding, and ultimately the places where the most durable growth happens. Every aspect carries its own symbolic signature, shaped further by whether it is applying (the angle still tightening, the energy at its most potent) or separating (the angle widening, the energy integrating and waning). The orb — the allowable deviation from exactness — belongs not to the aspect itself but to the planets involved: the luminaries, Sun and Moon, command the widest orbs under the classical moiety system, while outer planets work within narrower bands.
