i think a conj is technically plus minus 8 degrees but in synastry it is capped at 5 or 6........
Anyone else?

I would say yes. the general consensus is under 10 degrees, although there are varying opinions on what orbs to use... some only use 5 degrees and under. of course, the closer the aspect, the stronger it is.

as for slower moving planets having smaller orbs, I would disagree... the exception, IMO would be Pluto... its strong energy can be felt even with wide orbs (ie. 7-8 deg.)

sounds like a stretch to me. but ppls birth times arent really exact most of the time. so its quite possible its conjunct

As above, depends on the situation, house etc. I would be tend to be a bit more generous with the conj that involve sun and maybe even conj in angular houses. However, any conjunction would definitely be kept under 8 degrees and usually tighter than that

Always be generous with orbs if it is in your favour. It its not in your favour, dont be generous.

Standing next to the fire the heat is more intense than if you sit a little way from the hearth. Stand at the other side of the room and it is cooler still.

Not an original analogy but it's a helpful one.

Wow, all those wide orbs. The widest I ever go is 6 degrees. If you want accuracy, keep it tight.

But then, if the shoe seems to fit with a wide orb, then wear it.

For Kick It,

You're making me laugh, keeping the wide orbs if it's in your favor. I have to admit, I've done it.
