Major aspects are angular separations between planets that form strong, easily felt
relationships in a chart. They shape the core of one’s inner dynamics and often produce visible
events and patterns in real life.

onjunction Glyph: ♂ Aspect Degree: 0
Description: A conjunction occurs when two planets or points occupy the same
zodiacal degree (within an orb, usually up to ~8° but exact at 0°). This aspect blends and fuses
the energies of both bodies, creating a potent and unified force. Unlike aspects that challenge
or harmonize from a distance, the conjunction represents total integration—sometimes
harmonious, sometimes tense, depending on the nature of the planets involved.
Key Traits: - Brings focus, intensity, and amplification of the combined
planets.
- Can be constructive or destructive—the energies merge, so
they must work together, willingly or not.
- Often marks important beginnings, initiations, or
concentrated power.
- Feels like the two planets are sitting in the same room, fully
aware of and influencing each other.
Example Interpretations:
Moon conjunct Mars: Emotional courage and quick temper; feelings (Moon) and action
(Mars) tightly bound.
Venus conjunct Saturn: Love and commitment entwined; beauty (Venus) shaped by
discipline (Saturn).
Use in Practice:
In charts, conjunctions are power centers. They demand attention because they dominate
the field they occupy, often shaping a core part of personality (natal) or a significant event.
