What degree of orb do most of you use when calculating aspects within synastry?

I.E if two planets are conjunct within a natal chart, I have been led to believe an orb of up to 8 degrees can be used to class them as conjunct, however, would this hold true in synastry, or should the orbs between two planets be reduced to, say 5 or 4 degrees seperation?

Hey Viper! Funny you should start a thread on this-I sas reading about it the other day!
Here is an excerpt:

Although there can be other variables at play, the general rule of thumb in these matters is that the tighter, or more exact, the orb the more potent the aspect will manifest. Each aspect has an orb allotted to it by virtue of tradition and the experience of thousands of fellow astrologers. When looking at the aspects between two individuals' charts, the allotted orbs are smaller (5°to 6° for most) and typically the aspects within orb by only 2° to 3° will predominate in the relationship, especially in its initial stages. The other aspects in greater orb (4° to 6°), subtler in character, will usually only manifest once the relationship is off the ground and flying. Aspect analysis is a central feature of synastric chart comparison, vital to determining the fundamental relational dynamics between any two or more people.

BTW-How do you do spell check on this thing? I always type soooo fast that there are a million mistakes and I invariably miss a few...drives me nuts! Arrrrghhhhhh!!

My apologies to everyone who reads this and wonders how I mis so many...typical Gemini, always multi-tasking!! (And not really paying enough attention to any one thing!) LOL!!

Hi GemStar,

Thanks for that, I thought that was the case, with tighter orbs and stuff - just double checking though

he only way I know of spell check within this is to go the file at the top left of screen and open it up, then select 'edit in microsoft word' - Well i think that's it anyway!!! LOL

I just don't worry about it, I think it's quite a good game, to try and work out what someone was meaning to type??? ha ha ha


No sign of our newbie, I have been looking around for her, but I think ske's run off!!!

Still freaking about Pluto though!!!!


You okay today??

I know the Pluto thing is bothering you a lot. As you know, the best thing to do with Pluto is just let it happen...one day at a time.

I remeber when my Pluto sq Pluto and a few other ugly transits hit, I thought I knew SO MUCH and had SO MUCH control in my life...ha,ha! Yes, we have comtrol such as choices, however, if the universe has other plans, Pluto comes in and changes all of that! If you had told me a head of time, the changes and challenges I would face, I would've laughed and said "No, way!" And I would've fought tooth and nail to see that things didn't manifest. (If I had known what was coming...). OK...I am now realizing my stream of conciousness may not be so helpful to you...my apologies if so.

Today is OK so far...my piano lesson is coming up here in the next half hour...darn, I have barely practiced! Oh well....not ready for the Metropolitan Theatre yet so I am safe!!

Did you sleep OK or are you obsessing about these Pluto transits? You Pisces people know how to go with the flow...passively. Have you talked with Miss Fish lately?

Don't know if it's bothering me yet, just aware of the potentials - though as you say - until it kicks in, I won't really be 100 per cent sure of where it will lead - so just have to drift with the currents for the time being I guess!!

Piano lessons eh? cool - wish I could lay something like that - it's a beauiful instrument (is it an instrumetn?)

Miss Fish - no. e work for the same company, but haven't had any contact since Monday - when I got the P**S Off conversation!!! Ha ha have to laugh about it really

Your words make me smile...what a crappy thing for Miss Fish to do on a Love Holiday....rather rude I dare say! Hrummph!!

Yes, I play a beautiful classic grand piano that will be 100 years old in three years...it is my most prized possession! I decided over a year ago to take lessons again and improve on my technique etc...really, just to undo some of my bad habits learned from long ago!!!

Yes, it is an incredible instrument...so warm, deep, enveloping with its music...I lose myself in it's world often! My neighbors LOVE when I play with my doors open...I actually get shy so I rarely do so!

Do you play any music of any kind?

PS-If I don't reply for an hour, it's because my teacher is here..

Yes it certainly is. No, not me though - according to all that's said about Venus and moon Pisceans, I should do. But alas not. Dabbled with the guitar and keyboards a few years ago, but never continued and wasn't that good anyway, so never got anywhere.

In-fact I have never got anywhere with anything - period!!! how odd?? Oh well

Is it just me or is anyone else feeling this sort of air of depression sweeping over everything at the moment? (changing the subject slightly)

Actually, I noticed it (slight air of depression) beginning on Monday with a lot of people...just could hear it in their voices...defeatist attitude of sorts maybe...resigned to a dull life, unhappiness ever-present...I dunno.

Personally, I don't feel it at the moment...just sensing a lot of 'heaviness' with folks...not many smiling, happy faces when I peer at strangers...have no clue why.

Have you noticed with others or is it just your own inner feelings? (which BTW, are understandable at the moment)

What was that thread a few weeks back that mentioned something in the air for the next 6 weeks...was it something to do with a Mars transit? I can't remember....

Not really sure - a couple of people yeah - but I think I have been closing down to folks for quite some time. Don't really know why, just sort of switching off - which is so not me 6 months ago??? How very odd!!!

Maybe it is just me LOL - it's a bit like a feeling of just floating, in a sort of limbo - without any connection to anything else or tevents around.....

Oh dear, quick go grab a bucket!! ha ha ha

Maybe you are sensing that Pluto sq Pluto beofre it's time...realizing that change is happening...yet not knowing in which corner or direction...although it is unfolding as we speak this week. All good things in the end I assure you...

What do you usually do when you feel disconnected to people? Have you looked at your long-term transits? (ie-ones that have been in play for the last 6 mos or so? Lllog is good with transits...ask him, he is always ready to help!)

Cheer up my fishy friend...just take it easy on yourself...and relax...gather your energy and toss those bad feelings away (from Miss Fish...her loss...).
