The Aspects Quick Reference guide

CONJUNCTION

SQUARE

When planets are about 90º away from one another. This is often perceived as an obstacle, but it is also dynamic and focused on growth.

TRINE

When planets are about 120º away from one another. This is harmonious, soft, and natural energy. We may take it for granted.

OPPOSITION
