In natal, synastry, and composite charts, by how much do you reduce the orbs and how? Do I put -(orb percentage) in the reduce/increase orb section in the extended chart selection on astro.com? how do I specifically do this? I need step by step instructions please. IP: Logged |

You don't always need to reduce the orbs, personally I like looking at even wider aspects, but if you want to keep orbs pretty tight, you can reduce the orb to 70% or so, and even lower, the orb will be tighter and tighter. If you want a wider orb, put something like 120%.IP: Logged |

With orbs, the default percentage is 100%. So aspects which have up to 10 degrees between them.If you want to reduce the orbs, you put in a percentage which is less than 100%. For example, if you put in 50%, you are halving the orbs by 2. So all of the aspects which have up to 5 degrees between them; will be shown, as it filters out the wider aspects. To increase the orbs. simply put in a percentage greater than 100%. So 150% will allow wider aspects to be shown up to 15 degrees. 150% = 15 orb degrees between aspects. 100% = 10 orb degrees between aspects. 50% = 5 orb degrees between aspects. 10% = 1 orb degree between aspects. For me, I usually use 50% for synastry + natal and then 30% for composite. This allows me to see more of the tighter aspects which are felt more. IP: Logged |

At the default I have a grand kite with someone, does that mean at the lower percentage it wouldn't be felt?Speaking about composite on that site, is there a general one instead of just focusing on the midpoints? I know they are important but I want to see how the whole chart plays out. IP: Logged |

BUMP!!!! This is EXTREMELY good information for those of us who want to look at tight orbs in synastry and for other reasons!
