Aspect
Glossary · Last updated: 2026-07-26
An aspect is the angular separation between two planets (or points) in a chart. Major aspects include conjunction (0°), sextile (60°), square (90°), trine (120°), and opposition (180°).
Aspects describe how chart factors blend or create tension. They need full planetary positions, not sun-sign alone.
Example: see it on a birth date
An aspect is an angle between two planets. March 10, 2022 tells you the sun sign is Pisces.
It does not list aspects. Those come from planet positions in an ephemeris, not from the sun-sign name alone.

Transits
Daily horoscopes sometimes mention transiting aspects to your natal Sun. That is separate from the static sign identity on birth-date cards.
