㉞ Five types of aspects and Plato's regular polyhedra

1. Okay, so today I will continue with the astrological theory. If you find it tedious, I recommend that you pass on it. I'm going to write about Plato's solid ( Plato's five regular polyhedron ) and the five types of aspects.

First of all, Plato's polyhedra look like this ⇓

I bought one for 100 yen.

2.First, if you look at the tetrahedron vertically down from the vertex, you will see a △.

In three-dimensional space, if you look from the top (vertex) (to be precise, if you go down vertically from the vertex to the center of the tetrahedron and look around the tetrahedron), you will see three corners.

In other words, if you look at it that way, it is a triangle, so it divides the circle (ecliptic longitude) into three parts. 

So this is what we call a Trine△.

The trine, in other words, means that when the world (ecliptic circle) is divided by a tetrahedron, the circle is divided into three parts.

Since my drawing is not very good, I will use the hexahedron to illustrate this point again.

3. If you look at a regular hexahedron (regular dice shape) vertically down from the vertex (to be precise, if you go down vertically from the vertex of that object to the center of that object and look around) , you will see six corners.

So, when we divide the world by the hexahedron, if we drop this into the ecliptic circle, we divide the circle into 6 parts.

So this is the Sextile ✼ .

4. In the same way, if you look vertically down from the octahedral vertex, you get four corners.

So when you divide the world by using an octahedron, if you drop this vertically down from the vertex to the ecliptic circle, you divide the circle into 4 parts.

So this is the Square 🔲. like this！☻

Tanu-chan is not very good at drawing accurate diagrams (I am good at drawing pretty pictures💛, though). 

5. Now, let's go to the dodecahedron, which is a little more difficult to understand.

See, if you look vertically down from the dodecahedron vertex, you get 12 angles ↓ It's a little hard to see.

So, if we divide the world by the dodecahedron, if we drop this onto the ecliptic circle, we divide the circle into 12 parts.

So this is the Semi-Sextile < (30 degrees).

6. Finally, the icosahedron, when viewed vertically downward from the vertex in the same way, yields 10 angles. ⇓

To make it easier to see, it looks like this!

So, if we use the icosahedron to divide the world, if we drop this onto the ecliptic circle, we divide the circle into 10 parts!

This is the Semi‐Quintile SQ (36 degrees).

7. Well, that's all for today, for now.

I hope you now understand the relationship between an aspect and an polyhedron.

If you're not interested in this part, you can totally skip the whole thing!

See you later!
