Natal Aspects

When reading a natal chart, you have to pay special attention to the aspects. What do aspects mean in the context of a natal chart? First of all, they affect personality traits. There are a few main aspects that can have both favorable or negative effects.

Aspects are angular relationships between planets. Indicative aspects are reflected in the dominant personality traits. Planets’ characteristics may vary according to the type of aspect.

Key aspects

Aspects can be negative or harmonious. The former means that planets are in a friendly relationship and the latter means they are in a hostile relationship. Determining the dominant aspects allows learning a great deal about a person. Interpretation of the aspects in the natal chart helps to determine one’s talents, internal conflicts, readiness for action.

The Major aspects:

• Opposition. The angle between planets is 180 degrees. It indicates a complicated situation that needs a compromise to be solved. The Opposition aspect may predict breakups and losses.
• Trine. The angle between planets is 120 degrees. This is a very favorable aspect that symbolizes creativity, inspiration, and energy.
