The aspects: when planets talk.

Conjunction, square, trine: aspects are the angles planets form with each other, the grammar of the sky’s conversations. Each fiche tells one of them.

The conjunction The conjunction is the simplest and most powerful aspect: two planets sit at the same degree of the zodiac, give or take a few degrees.
The opposition The opposition places two planets face to face, 180 degrees apart, at the two ends of a single axis.
The quincunx The quincunx links two planets 150 degrees apart, in signs that share neither element, nor mode, nor polarity.
The sextile The sextile links two planets 60 degrees apart, that is two signs of compatible elements (fire and air, earth and water).
The square The square places two planets 90 degrees apart, in signs that share the same mode but not the same element.
The trine The trine links two planets 120 degrees apart, almost always in signs of the same element.
