lets talk about the wide aspects in our chart.you know, it could be squares wider tahn 5 orb (6 - 9 orb)
whats your experience? do you discount them? have you tried reading the description to see if that wide aspect indeed is something you can't relate to?
can you relate to it?
post it here, it can be any aspect.
lets discuss aspects.
today im going to research wide aspects in my chart again that i'm interested in because sometimes i feel the shoe fits but then im not certain enough.
the last time i discussed and thought about orbs, i settled on a theory that, aspects count up to 9 orb but the tighter it is, the more likely you will feel it or incorporate it - and i don't think we have to feel or notice aspects to necessarily incorporate them so much into ourselves. especially in aspects such as trines and sextiles.
i think astrology is never about exact details or text book formula.
to me, astrology is about Energy and Themes that are built around the planet or sign or house. but its up to use to actually pin point how these energies are actually beign experienced or coming out.
so NO, if you have pluto - venus aspect it does not mean you are sexy in attracting a mate, or obsessive necessarily.
astrology is so much BROADER.
you have to be analytical iv learned, to connect the themes.
anyway, im gonna make another topic for that.
im going to look into some of the following wide aspectsi n my chart -
Mars Trine Uranus - 9 orb
Mercury Square Uranus - 8 orb
Venus Square Neptune - 7 orb
Uranus Square Moon - 7 orb
Venus Oppose Moon - 6 orb
Mars Sextile Jupiter - 7 orb
venus conjunct mercury - 10 orb
when i think about my own view of how astrology works, it makes me feel like there is too much emphasis on orbs, orbs make it too black and white, which in my own view of astrology, DOESNT work, because astrology isnt black and white to me. astrology is based on energy as i said (in my opinion) it makes no sense for me to believe that because the orb is wide, that my planet in say, Capricorn, uranus, isnt at odds with my moon which is in aries, what i do believe is the orb influences how much you come to terms with these energies conflicting, how much you experience the energy in life, but NOT wether you have that Square energy. the fact they are in square signs shows problems period. just not anywheren ear to the degree of a square by aspect. i feel the same way about a same sign interaction between a aries mars and aries venus person, they may not "meet and fuse" as one often, but they do things the same way, it appeals, it works.
i feel wide aspects are just space, but a space that isnt necessarily making the aspect not there, but actually, i feel that the wide aspects in our charts are actually just the ones that promote more "choice" or "free Will" in incorporating into us. a choice for us to ignore, or reach out for and pull it into us and incorporate it.
