Got Gemini? Knowflake Posts: 456 From: Mercury Registered: Apr 2009	posted January 25, 2009 06:43 PM This is a very touchy subject here lol! I dunno.

Deliverance Knowflake Posts: 227 From: South of the river Registered: Apr 2009	posted January 25, 2009 06:52 PM I've heard that you should allow no more than a 9 degree orb for conjunctions to the Luminaries & around 6 for the other planets. The orb is MUCH tighter for progressions 2-3 deg orb for the progressed Moon 1 for Pr.Sun, >1 Deg for solar arcs...... IP: Logged
Got Gemini? Knowflake Posts: 456 From: Mercury Registered: Apr 2009	posted January 25, 2009 06:59 PM Some people use really really tight orbs and they have their reasons. Some people use huge orbs up to 15˚ and they have their reasons. Me, I go by if I feel it in the snastry, then I feel it. ------------------ Virgo Asc 6˚& Mars 0˚ Gemini Sun 24˚ Libra Moon 14˚(conjunct Pluto 0˚ in 2nd house) Gemini Mercury 25˚ Cancer Venus 29˚ And yes, i'm a guy!

augentier unregistered	posted January 25, 2009 07:31 PM I think 10 degrees is too wide for any aspect, especially when it involves an outer planet..because otherwise you share that aspect with tons of people in a generation, and you know you don't feel that specific aspect with each of those people. However, if it's exact or within 2 degrees I think it is noticed more with that person. IP: Logged

Azalaksh Moderator Posts: 882 From: New Brighton, MN, USA Registered: Apr 2009	posted January 25, 2009 07:44 PM Even professional astrologers disagree on allowable orbs Unless there are extenuating circumstances such as extreme emphasis on the planets involved due to other aspects, personally I use: No more than 1.5 for the quintile family No more than 2 for a semi-sextile, semi-square, sesqui-quadrate or for asteroids No more than 3 for a sextile or quincunx No more than 5 for a square No more than 7 for trine or opposition No more than 8 for the Lights IP: Logged

Azalaksh Moderator Posts: 882 From: New Brighton, MN, USA Registered: Apr 2009	posted January 25, 2009 08:04 PM Lights = Luminaries = Sun and Moon Ooops, forgot conjunctions 6 degrees, depending..... And by "extenuating circumstances" I mean situations like my Mars and Venus: Mars - 22 Virgo, Venus - 2 Libra Not a conjunction in my book. However, they're both opposite my Moon at 26 Pisces, so they're tied together (in a way) for better or worse IP: Logged
Azalaksh Moderator Posts: 882 From: New Brighton, MN, USA Registered: Apr 2009	posted January 25, 2009 08:07 PM quote: these astrologers should come together and agree on something dammit!!! I remember reading something Liz Greene wrote about allowing large orbs for Pluto -- will see if I can find it..... leaping, astro's just NOT an exact science -- there's so much emotional and intuitive (and unquantifiable) activity that it really just takes time and practice and what seems to work for you Maybe those intelligent and eloquent Merc aspects of yours really DO work, due to contacts with other planets in your chart, house/sign, dispositors etc.....

Azalaksh Moderator Posts: 882 From: New Brighton, MN, USA Registered: Apr 2009	posted January 25, 2009 09:08 PM It's partly a mathematical ratio of my own choosing (between 15 and 21) ie, semi-sextile ~ 2/30 = 15 sextile ~ 3/60 = 20 square ~ 5/90 = 18 trine ~ 7/120 = 17 opp ~ 7/180 = 21 And I'm often inclined to give hard aspects a bit more leeway than the soft aspects..... Note: >>> this is only my own personal scheme and does not follow any particular astrological convention <<< IP: Logged
Green Fairy unregistered	posted January 25, 2009 09:29 PM Minor aspects = up to 3 degrees Major aspects [and only when the planets are in the same sign or properly placed] - up to 8 degrees IP: Logged

Azalaksh Moderator Posts: 882 From: New Brighton, MN, USA Registered: Apr 2009	posted January 25, 2009 10:55 PM leaping ~ Nice mathematical interp!! And very level-headed about that other thing Ericka ~ Yes, your parents have a trine -- you might think of '2 Taurus' as '32 Aries,' and Aries and Sag are the same element/triplicity. 29 Sag to 2 Taurus is 123 degrees -- well within allowable orb for a trine IP: Logged
