And would it be different for an out of sign conjunction?

I think that orbs under 3 degree will be more insistently felt, but you can still feel it up to 5 degrees certainly, and probably 6 as well.

Depends also what is going on in the chart. For example I have a bunch of planets and points hovering around my ASC.

ASC is 7 Sagittarius.

mars is 5 Sag
Neptune and NN are 10 Sag.

Now lets say someone has a planet on 13 Sagittarius, it is wide off my ASC obviously, 6 degrees, but clearly conjunct Neptune and NN, which in turn are conjunct my ASC, so I would count it. It might be watered down in effect, but it is still there. though probably will take on a tad Neptunian note.

I.
0-00°59

II.
1°00 - 2°59

III.
3°00 - 4°59

IV.
5°00 - 5°59

aspects in the first category are a bit of an "automatic response", like you canīt help but respond to the trigger of the other planet.

second category is still very strongly felt.

third category is felt, but usually with less intensity

fourth category is usually quite subtle.

of course that is only generally speaking. As I said specific chart-conditions might modify this.

for example I just noticed something. It always puzzled me how I had the impression i felt this guys Mars trine my Venus so strongly, even though the orb was 5 degrees. Of course maybe I am really feeling something entirely different, but it just baffled me.

Anyway this weekend I realized that he is 5 years younger than me, and the orb is 5 years.

Why is that importantß

Well, because I realized that this means his solar arc Mars and my solar arc Venus are moving in tandem.

Of course the aspects between solar arc planets do not change, as they are moved with the same speed, however in the solar arc of two different people there can be different aspects compared to the natal, depending on their age difference.

I just found that interesting.

In the case of this guy and me his sa Mars is currently at 16 Libra, my sa Venus is currently at 16 Aquarius.
And for me it is important as my sa Venus is applying to exact conjunction to my natal Moon on 17 Aquarius.

It also made me think that possibly the synastric solar arc direction puts an emphasis on wider aspects for that reason.

I know that many astrologers say to never ever compare solar arcs between different people, but frankly I cannot see the reason why, and I find them to be very sensitive in synastry.

To me, angle to angle is pretty wide too, even the angles in the same sign count, but a nice alignment would be spot on, like under 5.

But I suppose that is beside the point. lol

when I first fell into a very compulsive unexpected whirlwind crush, his sa Pluto was squaring my natal Venus, and his sa Uranus was squaring my natal Sun and Mercury. And boy I DID feel that! lol

(of course it repeated already existing synastry aspects as his Plutow as trine my Venus and his Uranus was trine my Sun - it just increased the intensity a few notches)

I think they say so because they are so totally dependent on each individual`s sunīs arc, and used as triggers of natal configurations. But frankly you would have to ask astrologers who say so, cause I certainly disagree with that.

I see, thanks I compare them too, especially when progressions create important connections, to see what happens with the outers.

For example, in a year or so I am going to have my sa Neptune-NN-conjunction right on natal Antivertex and Sun/Moon-mp on 21 Cap. This sounds interesting, though probably a little difficult with "ego-wipe-out" Neptune being part of it, however I hope its affiliation with my nodal axis might smoothen things a bit, like giving it more of a purpose.

However, if someone`s personal planet might fall there, too, this other person might be instrumental in activating/ triggering this experience in me.

my sa Moon is just separating from an opposition to someone else`s natal Saturn, and yes, I felt strangely rejected, even though it is not even real from an objective point of view. I know that. Still didnīt help the feeling. But knowing myself, what really happened was that his Saturn in aspect to my sa Moon was dragging up internal issues inside of me. I have a natal Moon-Saturn-quinkunx, and through the mirrored solar arc aspect this one might have been brougth to the surface. Self-value concerns mostly.
Also I have some nasty midpoints on this axis; mars/Saturn, Saturn/Neptune, Saturn/NN (I am still heading towards the Saturn/neptune and Saturn/NN one but thankfully my Saturn, neptune and NN are connected through quintile aspects, I am hoping this might open up an avenue to channel that more effectively than pure depression).
