So, being that my Moon conjuncts Pluto by 06.29' degrees and sextiles Neptune by 04.09' degrees, I suppose my Moon is unaspected.

I'm told that only the main angles count when determining whether a planet is unaspected: Conjunction, Opposition, Square, Trine and Sextile.

My Moon only forms two semisextiles (to Sun and Jupiter), and my Uranus forms three semiquintiles (to Mars, Saturn and Pluto) and a quincunx (to NN).

So, therefore, my Moon and Uranus qualify as "Unaspected".

I have a general idea of what "unaspected" planets mean, but any opinions would be very appreciated.

Also, here is my list of aspect orbs, I'd like to hear if anyone else's criteria differentiates:

Conjunction- 5 degrees

Opposition- 5-6 degrees

Square- 5 degrees

Trine- 4-5 degrees

Sextile- 2-3 degrees *effect declines sharply after 2 degrees

Quincunx- 1-2 degrees *effect declines sharply after 1 degree

Semisextile- 1 degree *effect declines sharply when "seperating"

Quintile/BiQuintile- 1-2 degrees *effect declines sharply after 1 degree

Semiquintile- 1 degree

Semisquare/Sesquiquadrate- 1 degree

Septile- 1 degree

Novile- 1 degree

Unidecimal- 00.30' *up to 1 degree when more than 2 Unidecimals exist.

Each astrologer has their own method for orbs (how close a planet has to be in order to be in aspect). Mine are probably wider than most:
- 8 degrees for conjunction, square, and opposition
- 5 degrees for sextile or trine
- 3 degrees for quincunx
- add 2 degrees to these for aspects to Sun or Moon

I only use these six aspects.

Using these orbs your Moon is not unaspected.

...like a Yod between my Chiron (10th, Taurus), Neptune (5th, Sag), and Pluto/Saturn (3rd, Libra), with Chiron as the "point" of the Yod...hmmm...

I think you should look at the whole chart to know whether an aspect would be important or not. For instance if this conjunction was on your Nodes.. or your IC/MC/AC or DC.. it would become more noticeable. Maybe even more so than other closer conjunctions, that make NO connection to those points.

An unaspected planet is energy that does not "connect in" to a chart. So, if a person has an unaspected Uranus (friends, also rebellion) they may constantly be trying to "connect in" to Uranus energy and so may OVERdo Uranus energy. Perhaps this causes them to over-rebel or overstate their individuality to others in an attempt to be "Uranian" in some way. The challenge for these people is to accept that their Uranus energy is strong...even if they themselves are not aware of it.

Uranistically,

If not, I guess my Mars is unaspected too...

In general, the only aspects used in determining whether or a not a planet is unaspected is: trine, sextile, conjunction, square, and opposition to another planet. If there are none of these in the chart (such as is the case with your Mars), the planet is described as "unaspected". In addition, if there is only one of these aspects from one planet to another, the planet is considered "least aspected", which is similar to unaspected in the chart.

Aspectfully yours,
