The geometry between planets

How two parts of your chart work together.

An aspect is an angle between two planets or points. It describes their relationship: easy, pressurized, fused, polarized or always asking for adjustment.

☌︎0° angle

conjunction

Fusion · amplification · one force

The conjunction fuses both functions, so they act like one concentrated habit.

⚹︎60° angle

sextile

Opportunity · choice · cooperation

The sextile offers an opening that becomes useful when you choose to use it.

□︎90° angle

square

Friction · pressure · action

The square creates recurring pressure, asking both functions to change their timing.

△︎120° angle

trine

Flow · talent · support

The trine lets both functions cooperate easily, which can hide how much skill is present.

⚻︎150° angle

quincunx

Adjustment · mismatch · recalibration

The quincunx gives both functions different instructions, so adjustment matters more than force.

☍︎180° angle

opposition

Polarity · awareness · balance

The opposition places both functions across from each other, making balance a live negotiation.

Distance from exact

The orb shows strength, not a second aspect.

A square exact at 90° has a 0° orb. At 92°, its orb is 2°. Smaller usually means more immediate or concentrated; Bornsky’s engine applies the allowed range for each aspect before showing it.

Direction matters

Applying gathers. Separating releases.

Applying means the faster point is moving toward the exact angle. Separating means exactness has passed. The aspect remains the same, but its phase tells you whether the pattern is building or beginning to unwind.

Read the whole pair

No aspect is a verdict.

A trine can become an unused gift; a square can produce practiced skill. The planets involved, the houses they occupy and the exact orb decide how the geometry shows up in one chart.
