I have a fairly wide opposition from my moon to pluto (6 deg) though it makes up a t-square and cradle in my chart. I've always STRONGLY resonated with moon/pluto, even though its wider. I always put it down to the fact that its a luminary connection, thus, felt more keenly, but I'm not sure.

Cases where I'll research a wide aspect:
-It makes a major aspect to the Sun or Moon
-The aspect being made involves the Ascendant, Descendant, IC, or Midheaven
-The aspect involves the chart ruler
-A chart pattern is formed

Other times I'll just wind up being curious what an aspect means regardless of whether it counts or not.

Do you think wide or looser aspects in a natal become stronger if a part of a configuration/ chart pattern? E.g. T-square, grand cross, cradle, etc ??

Any experiences with this?

That's actually not that wide for a Moon aspect. Very much active. The Moon and Sun are in active aspect at wider orbs, as are conjunctions, squares, oppositions.

I've got Moon 12CAP08 square Uranus 5LIB32, orb <6°36'>. Very definitely an active aspect, which my dad also has. Inner drive to be different, emotionally aloof from others in some ways, irritability/temper/uncooperative issues to overcome, etc.

1 degree by solar arc is equivallent to one year of life.

So if Saturn-Moon are in opposition by 0 degrees and both form a square to Mars by 6 degrees. I would say that the Mars-Moon square and Saturn-Mars are aspects that are there for the taking.

These two aspects are felt from a distance i,e here it comes. Its coming. And they offer an individual a conscious choice to act or avoid them

Now the exact opposition of 0 is so part in parcel of the package that one was born in, that it feels like one has little choice with regards to expressing its energy.

So the modus operandi would be to 1st instinctively restrain feeling(Moon-Saturn exact) and only after a long time of being irritated , can one start to get emotionally volatile (Moon-Mars square) and then act to exact the offense(Saturn-Mars square) or supress where the offense comes from.

They do feel like a "domino" effect. But the wider the orb between the aspected planets, the more likely that the individual has breaks in between to consciously change what the outcome is.

So in your case, by transit the planet with the exact to closest orb will be affected and so on and so on.

But if you felt the strain of say Saturn transiting the Moon and then shortly after that Venus. You are likely to consciously "look out" for a coping mechanism for when the transit goes to the 3rd planet in the cofiguration.

Both Moon and Venus will send subtle signals to the 3rd planet in the configuartion who is yet to interact with the transit to "do this instead", because of their experience with it.
