Is the conjunction the only relevant aspect if you want to see how the fixed stars play out in your natal chart?I am also reading that Stars conjunct Angles are the most important, starting with MC, then ASC, then IC, then DSC. Well, MC is most important according to research. And then with the luminaries/planets, you want a 1 degree to 6 degree orb, and parallels count as conjunctions too if you know delineations(sp?). But I also read somewhere that squares and oppositions may be used, but trines and sextiles are pretty useless. I hope my question makes sense, I just want to know your opinions and experiences.

Great question
I am not sure about aspects other than conjunctions for Fixed Stars. I use close conjunctions. I would think the ASC was the most important angle, myself------------------

OH BOY!! I've been looking online for the same answers!! Do you mind if i ask a question on your thread? If so tell me!!6 degree orb, wow i didnt realize was only using 3!
Edit...i thought i did see iQ giving a bit more than a degree, i was going off his conjunction but it seemed 3 was about the widest i noticed! I'm not for sure, i didnt ask, but it would be nice to know what he allows! What about Draco? Its stars arent fixed...it seems? They arent conjunct in the synastry chart i ran, does it mean anything when you conjunct someones fixed star in Draco? Maybe you use the planet position for draco and compare to fixed stars in their tropical positions? Are all stars important, or just the top Aldebaran, Anteras, Regulas, Sirius, Spica, Rigel, Altair, Capella, Artacus, Galactic Center, isnt there a few more...Another Center of some sort?
ARMC, is that important?
Great Attractor?

6 degrees is much too wide for fixed stars.
btw darkstar astrology uses fixed stars quite extensively, You should have a look around there.

With fixed stars you keep the degrees very tights 1 orb and under to be relevant. Fixed stars that make very tight conjunctions to Luminaries,asc/dsc, asteroids, and 1st/4th/10th/12th are the most important. IP: Logged |

I don't mind at all, lol! It makes me happy to know I am in good company of others who wants to know more about the influence of fixed stars  Apparently, a tight conjunction of less than 1 degree is the most ideal and favorable, so that blows the up to 6 degrees theory out of the river. There are ALOT of other fixed stars which seem to have influence, although the ones you listed are considered main. I don't know much about draco, but here: http://www.astrologycom.com/fixedstars.html
http://www.constellationsofwords.com/stars/Stars_in_longitude_order.htm Both links have an in depth look on MANY fixed stars, although in the last one it depends on the fixed star. Some of them have the astrological influences on certain luminaries, others are lacking. IP: Logged |

I tend to use 1 degree for most stars, except for some agreed-upon significant or high-magnitude stars (Regulus, Algol, Scheat, possibly Antares and Aldebaran). Algorab I tend to use 1 degree, though I have a stellium that stradles that (Mars/Pluto/Venus) so I'm not sure what the impact on my Venus is (out of orb by itself, but close to Mars/Pluto which straddle it, so... ???)I've heard of some people maybe considering oppositions, but it's generally agreed that fixed stars "Cast no rays" and don't really factor into Squares/Trines/etc (unless there's a square/trine etc to something conjunct a fixed star, but then again we're talking conjunctions again). I personally don't use oppositions, especially considering Antares and Aldebaran are opposite one another anyhow. IP: Logged |

It's only conjunctions and orbs 1 degree. For some stars, larger orbs are used. IP: Logged |
