How does a mutal reception in synastry behave?
Will it act to the nature of the aspect or as a conjunction? Mutual Reception
Two planets in mutual reception are the next best thing to a planet in its home sign, especially if they are of the same element or polarity. Two planets are in mutual reception when they disposit each other.
example 1: Sun in Aries and Mars in Leo
Each planet is in the sign the other rules so that there is a cross-link or interdependancy. Both planets complete or fulfill each other, and in a positive way, since both are trine aspect(by sign).
example 2: Venus in Aquarius and Uranus in Taurus
These two planets wil also fulfill or complete each other but it won't be easy as the two are in square(by sign).
Mutual reception can also work by transit or between planets in two people's charts. If you are a Sun in Aries, for example, you will be especially sensitive to the transit of Mars in Leo, or to someone's Mars in Leo.

So if one person had Saturn in Cancer and the other person had the moon in Capricorn in opposition would that behave as a conjunction ? (1 deg orb)
Also what would be appropiate orb allowance? 3 deg?
