Learn the basics in Astrology

Astrology is a tool used to explain the different dimensions of the essence of one, or between one and others. It gives form, to a way of expressing the ‘essence’ by way of tagging and applying definitions to the otherwise unexplainable. Astrology does not give people anything, i.e. your natal Sun is conjunct your natal Jupiter. Astrology did not give this to you, but rather, it reflects or acknowledges that you have this force present in your essence. And by way of this expression, it helps the inquirers read, understand and, share in what they have ingested with others of common interest.

The Aspects

The aspects represents the types of dynamic energy influences between;

1. planets to planets,
2. planets to MC and Asc, and
3. planets to chart houses and to their individual cusps.

To get the most understanding from aspects, it is best that one understands;

1. what each stand alone planet represents and how it may behave.
2. Understand what each house, in a chart means and
3. to understand what each sign means and represents.
4. And, to understand the relationship between each planet to each sign and to each house.

The Aspects most commonly used:
Major aspects: conjunction (0), sextile (60), square (90), trine (120) and, opposition (180).
Minor aspects: semisextile (30), semisquare (45), quincunx (150) and, sesquisquare (135).

The aspects have a unique and very important use in astrology. The same aspect may have multiple meaning, depending on which discipline of astrology it is used in. For example:

Mars conjunct Venus under:

Natal Astrology – first this, this would be recognized as a Venus conjunct Mars aspect and might mean you are an attractive person, able to produce very good results behind your actions.

Composite Astrology – again this would be recognized as a Venus conjunct Mars aspect. But the union must already be established and the aspect factored in before the aspect can be appreciated by astrologers. Composite aspects are about more than one individual looked at as one. In this case Venus conjunct Mars may suggest that the individuals would have a very difficult time being indifferent towards each other. This is not all bad depending on why the union is together. Love and marriage – possibly great! Friendships and business associates – may be dicey depending on other supporting aspect influences.

Solar Transit – When the transiting Sun conjuncts this aspect it may mean, your dynamic personality draws people, money and other pleasurable things towards you. But it could also mean that you could have clashes with some part of the public in your efforts to draw things to you. (S 0 MR)

Synastry Astrology (This discipline is a multiple purpose discipline. The mindset of the participants establishes their conduct and the meaning behind the aspect.):

• Used in finding a lover – instant attraction. The Mars person may always make the move towards the willing Venus person. The energy is very high here, so it may be important to weigh in on the other aspects in this Synastry chart, as Mars conjunct Venus could also suggest that this is the fuel behind igniting stressful situations as well.
  A good example of this would be, lets say that you have a natal Venus conjunct Mars and the person who interest you has his/her Mars conjunct your Venus and your Mars. There would be evidence here, that the relationship could be filled with wonderful loving moments (MR conj VE) and, at other times loaded with horrible fights (MR conj MR).

• Used in finding friendships – when the people are not reading astrology into the equation, there is an instant attraction, but is normally ignored between same sexes. The individuals complement each other, well, in the things that they do together. When the people read astrology into the equation there tends to be more resistance in same sex friendship, because of the lover issues commonly associated with MR 0 VE. Their mindset in understanding astrology concepts tends to reduce the quality of the real friendship.

• Used in finding business associates – this could be a very potent union, as the individuals, regardless of sex, know how to bring strong cash flows their way, as a unit.

As you can see, the aspects can have different meanings depending on the context used.

One other thing I think should be understood about Astrology before actually embarking on the experience. It is not an open book of everything good on the left hand side of the book. There is, also, a right hand side of pages that are equally upsetting to read and in many cases very depressing. And this is where understanding that Astrology is a tool used to understand some aspect of one’s life, helps keep balance in your thoughts, as you move forward.

In my personal perspective, I view it as:

Love knows no boundaries. There are people all over the world with the worst of Astrological Aspects who manage to make things work in the real world, without the use or insight of it. Astrology is just a tool and when used, it suggest possibilities, not absolutes.

May I suggest a Synastry reading of:

Ok, my novice eyes are going to attempt to understand this chart with the info you all provided.

So my NN is conj his Sun..also is his NN conj my Moon or is it too far? I'm not sure what that would mean hehe

My Sun square his Venus
My Moon trine his Saturn
My Moon sextile his AC
My Venus trine his AC and Mars
My Venus conj his Neptune
(I think my Venus is sextile his Saturn?)
My Mars conj his Mercury, Sun, and Mars
My Saturn trine his Sun

I've also heard there is some emphasis put on Chiron in romantic synastry charts?? And I know nothing about asteroids

Our relationship is definitely passionate(to say the least). We've always joked how we could never be strictly friends because we have such a strong sexual attraction. Would my Venus trine his Mars cause us to view the other as their "dream person"? And is Mars conj Mars why we have some really great fights?? Lol. See anything else interesting??

Your sun conj his 11th house exactly. Seems like it would be a nice flow for friendship as well, which is important.

Yes we are definitely best friends. Share pretty much exact views on just about everything, and we get along better than we ever have with anyone else.
