Aspect Symbols:

 Conjunction (☌): 0 degrees apart (symbol: circle with a line)

 Sextile (✶): 60 degrees apart (symbol: star)
 Square (□): 90 degrees apart (symbol: square)
 Trine (△): 120 degrees apart (symbol: triangle)

Planets and Points:
The planets and points are listed along the horizontal and vertical axes of the grid. The
major astrological points included in this grid are:
 Sun (☉)
 Moon (☽)
 Mercury (☿)
 Venus (♀)
 Mars (♂)
 Jupiter (♃)
 Saturn (♄)
 Uranus (♅)
 Neptune (♆)
 Pluto (♇)
 North Node (☊)
 Chiron (⚷)
How to Read the Grid:
1. Find the Intersection: To find the aspect between two planets, locate one planet
along the horizontal axis and the other along the vertical axis. The box where they
intersect shows the aspect between them.
2. Aspect Symbols: The symbols in the boxes indicate the type of aspect between the
planets.
3. Aspect Degrees: The numbers in the boxes show the exact degree of separation
between the planets.
Reading the Aspects in the Provided Grid:
 Sun (☉) and Moon (☽): The intersection shows a square (□) with a number
indicating the degree of the aspect.
 Sun (☉) and Mercury (☿): No aspect is indicated (blank box).
 Sun (☉) and Venus (♀): The intersection shows a sextile (✶) with a number.
 Sun (☉) and Mars (♂): No aspect is indicated (blank box).
Interpretation:
Each aspect reveals different types of energy interactions between the planets:
 Conjunctions (☌): Blending of energies.
 Sextiles (✶): Harmonious opportunities and cooperation.
 Squares (□): Tension, challenges, and obstacles.
 Trines (△): Harmonious, flowing energy, and ease.
 Oppositions (☍): Polarities, balance, and potential conflict.
 Quincunxes (⚻): Adjustments and incongruities.
Example Interpretations:
  Sun square Moon: Indicates tension between one's core identity and emotional
needs.
 Moon trine Mercury: Harmonious communication of feelings and thoughts.
 Venus sextile Saturn: Opportunities for stable, structured relationships and values.

what does the number -3 and the A mean in the grid where it shows the mercury venus
sextile?

The number "-3" in the grid where it shows the Mercury-Venus aspect, followed by "A,"
refers to the orb and the aspect type.
 "-3" indicates the orb, which is the degree difference from the exact aspect. In this
case, it means that Mercury and Venus are 3 degrees apart from the exact aspect.
 "A" stands for Applying. An applying aspect means the faster-moving planet (in this
case, Mercury) is moving towards the exact aspect with the slower-moving planet
(Venus).
So, "-3 A" means that Mercury is 3 degrees away from forming an exact sextile (60°) with
Venus and is currently moving closer to that exact aspect.

In the aspect grid, the "S" next to the Venus and Mars conjunction means Separating. This
indicates that the faster-moving planet (in this case, Venus) is moving away from the exact
aspect with Mars.
Here’s a detailed explanation:
 "S" (Separating): This means that the aspect has already occurred and the two
planets are now moving away from each other. The influence of the aspect is
waning.
 Orb: The number next to "S" indicates how many degrees the planets are from the
exact aspect.

 Sesquisquare (135°): The sesquisquare is a minor challenging aspect that is often

associated with tension and friction. It can create a sense of urgency or compulsion
to address issues related to the planets involved. While not as intense as a square or
opposition, it still indicates areas where effort and adjustment are needed.

From "Om" the five elemental vibrations emerged representing the five
different tattwas (or elements). The five planets represent these five
vibrations – Jupiter for Space, Saturn for Air, Mars for Fire, Mercury
for Earth, and Venus for Water.
The quincunx (also known as the inconjunct) is an aspect in astrology that occurs when
two planets are approximately 150 degrees apart. This aspect is considered a minor but
significant aspect and is often associated with the following characteristics:
Characteristics of the Quincunx/Inconjunct Aspect
 1. Adjustment and Adaptation:
o The quincunx often indicates a need for adjustment and adaptation between
the energies of the two planets involved. The relationship between the
planets is not inherently harmonious or discordant, but it requires ongoing
effort to integrate.
2. Incompatibility:
o Planets in a quincunx aspect are in signs that have no common ground
(different elements, modalities, and polarities), leading to a sense of
incompatibility or misalignment. This can create tension and the feeling that
the planets are out of sync with each other.
3. Growth through Discomfort:
o The discomfort or tension created by the quincunx can be a catalyst for
growth. It forces individuals to find creative ways to reconcile the differing
energies and demands of the planets involved.
4. Health and Well-being:
o In medical astrology, quincunxes are often associated with health issues or
physical imbalances. They can point to areas where the body needs
adjustment or where there is a lack of harmony.
5. Subtle Awareness:
o Unlike the more obvious tensions of squares or oppositions, the quincunx
creates a subtle awareness of imbalance. It can lead to feelings of unease or
restlessness that push individuals to make necessary changes.
Example of a Quincunx/Inconjunct Aspect
If Mars is quincunx Saturn in a natal chart, the individual might experience a constant need
to adjust their drive and ambition (Mars) with their sense of discipline and responsibility
(Saturn). They may feel that their actions are often at odds with their need for structure
and long-term planning, requiring ongoing efforts to find a balance.
Summary
The quincunx/inconjunct aspect represents a need for continual adjustment and
adaptation between the energies of the involved planets. It highlights areas of life where
there is a lack of harmony and prompts individuals to make changes and find creative
solutions to reconcile these differences.

In astrology, the position of the Earth is not explicitly charted in natal charts because it's
essentially the same as the position of the Sun but from an Earth-centric perspective. To
determine the position of the Earth in a natal chart, you simply look at the position of the
Sun and consider it from a heliocentric perspective.
Finding the Position of the Earth
1. Heliocentric Perspective: In heliocentric astrology (which places the Sun at the
center), the Earth is always directly opposite the Sun. Therefore, the position of the
Earth can be determined by finding the sign and degree opposite the Sun in the natal
chart.
Steps to Find the Earth's Position:
 1. Identify the Sun’s Position: Note the sign and degree of the Sun in the natal chart.
For example, if the Sun is at 5° Aries.
2. Find the Opposite Sign: The Earth will be in the sign directly opposite the Sun. The
zodiac signs are paired as opposites as follows:
o Aries ↔ Libra
o Taurus ↔ Scorpio
o Gemini ↔ Sagittarius
o Cancer ↔ Capricorn
o Leo ↔ Aquarius
o Virgo ↔ Pisces
3. Calculate the Degree: The Earth’s position will be at the same degree in the
opposite sign. For example, if the Sun is at 5° Aries, the Earth will be at 5° Libra.
Example:
 Sun at 5° Aries:
o Opposite sign: Libra
o Earth's position: 5° Libra
Application in the Natal Chart:
Using the position of the Earth can provide additional insights, particularly when
considering heliocentric astrology or when seeking a deeper understanding of how the
individual's resources and natural inclinations (represented by the Earth) balance with
their conscious identity and purpose (represented by the Sun).
Summary:
To find the position of the Earth in a natal chart, simply take the position of the Sun and
find the degree in the opposite zodiac sign. This position can provide complementary
insights into the individual's resources and inherent qualities, adding another layer of
understanding to the astrological interpretation.
