For example, ur first in line, mother is after u, and ur father is after ur mom. So, ur conjunct ur mom. ur father is conjunct ur mom. BUT, ur mom is conjunct both u and ur dad b/c she's next to both of u. Obviously, u guys have to be really close in order for u to have conjunctions.

In terms of degrees and what not... cindy told u what it is.

You asked:

..." my north node conjucts his sun"...Does it mean that if my north node is in Cap. his sun is/can be [conjunct] in Virgo or Cappy or Taurus?...

A conjunction by degree (the commmon meaning of "conjunction) between two planets or points can ONLY take place if the two planets or points are close to each other (within 10 degrees, according to the measurements I use). Using your example and making up some degrees, Capricorn modifying North node 28 degrees IS conjunct Aquarius modifying Sun 4 degrees (within 10 degrees of each other). But Capricorn modifying North node 28 degrees Capricorn is NOT conjunct Sagittarius modifying Sun 2 degrees (NOT within 10 degrees of each other).

Conjunctions can be seen in composite charts and in all other astrological charts which have planets or points (such as birth charts, transit charts, synastry, etc.).

Planets that are apart by signs are, depending on the positions, categorized differently. The natural progression of the zodiac is always read counter clockwise, starting from the ascendant, and follows the natural order.. ( Aries first, then Taurus, then Gemini, Cancer, etc.. but depending on where your Ascendant is, it starts in that order.)

Trines are signs of the same element ( fire-aries/leo/sagittarius, etc....) Roughly four signs apart. But they can also be trined by degree, in out of element signs, depending upon the measurement and position.. but when you are learning, focus on what makes sense at first, deal with the calculations later.

Sextiles are signs that are roughly two apart ( but in complimentary elements.. Air and fire/water and earth.. but the same rule of degree applies to all chart connections.

Now when they talk about signs, it's usually indicating where the planets are in the birth chart. For example, venus in leo.

In terms of conjunctions, you could say that venus is at 12 o'clock, while mars is 12:01-12:05. Two planets should be that close to each other in order to be called conjunctions.

Conjunctions are in all types of charts: natal, synastry, and composite charts. Just remember, conjunctions tell you how two planets are related to each other in terms of distance (which in this case, they would be close to each other).

THe other aspects, like squares, trines, etc... are other ways of defining where the planets are in relation to each other. For example, if venus is square mars, that means that venus is 90 degrees to mars. Venus could be at 12 o clock, while mars is at 3 or 9 o'clock.

Of course you can Have you set yourself up at www.astro.com ? Here is a picture of a natal chart. There are 3 conjunctions in this chart.....

Mercury at 28 Gemini to Mars at 3 Cancer = approx 5 degrees orb
Uranus at 25 Cancer to Jupiter at 27 Cancer = approx 2 degrees orb
Moon at 17 Libra to Neptune at 25 Libra = approx 8 degrees orb

You may note there is a short red line drawn between the planets. Blue is used at astro.com to indicate a "soft" or harmonious aspect. Red us used to indicate a "hard" or challenging aspect.
