What Are Aspects in Astrology?

In astrology, an aspect is the angle between two planets in your birth chart.
These angles show how planetary energies interact and influence each other.

Think of each planet as an actor in your life story aspects describe how well they get along. Some cooperate effortlessly, while others clash or challenge one another, creating the emotional tension that drives your evolution.

Here are the major aspects astrologers interpret most often:

Aspect	Degrees Apart	Meaning
Conjunction	0°	Planets blend energies powerful and focused.
Sextile	60°	Cooperative flow, opportunity, creative ease.
Square	90°	Inner or outer tension pushing growth.
Trine	120°	Natural harmony and supportive energy.
Opposition	180°	Polarity learning balance between extremes.

Each of these shapes your personality differently, influencing how you think, love, act, and express yourself.
