㉝　How many kinds(types)  of "the aspects" do we have?  

＝There are 7 kinds(types) of aspects   

1. Now, there are seven types of angles (aspects) used in astrology, roughly speaking, as follows.

A Conjunction ☌ 0 degrees

This means that the stars overlap in position. The positional overlap basically means that the stars are in the same position on the ecliptic longitude in degrees.

For example, in a solar eclipse, the sun and the moon are exactly on top of each other, which is, of course, a kind of conjunction. But if the sun☉ and moon☽ always overlapped, there would be an eclipse every month.

Normally, the ecliptic longitude would be the same degree but shift in latitude, so the two celestial bodies (☉☽ ) would not overlap even in conjunction. 

Even if they do not overlap, if the two celestial bodies are at the same position on the ecliptic longitude, this is called a conjunction. "Eclipses" ( solar☉ eclipses, etc.) are special among such conjunctions.

The good or bad aspect depends on the nature of the stars that are in conjunction. Of all the aspects, conjunction has the strongest effect.

B  Opposition  ☍ 180 degrees

This means that the stars are on opposite sides of the ecliptic meridian. For example, when the Sun is at 10 degrees of the ecliptic longitude (10 degrees of Aries in the zodiac) and Jupiter ♃ is at 190 degrees of the ecliptic longitude (10 degrees of Libra in the zodiac), it is 180 degrees＝ opposition☍.

It is said that the aspect has a mixed nature of good and bad, but the bad aspect is stronger. 

This is also a very strong aspect, though not as strong as the conjunction ☌.

C 　Trine △ 120 degrees　

This means that the stars are at an angle of 120 degrees to each other on the ecliptic longitude.

For example, if the Sun☉ is at 10 degrees ecliptic longitude (10 degrees of Aries) and Mars♂ is at 130 degrees ecliptic longitude (10 degrees of Leo) or 250 degrees ecliptic longitude (10 degrees of Sagittarius) in your horoscope, the Sun and Mars♂ will have this Trine relationship. 

This aspect is also strong in potency and is considered a very favorable angle.

D Sextile (6 minutes)✼

This means that the stars are at a 60-degree angle to each other on the ecliptic longitude. 

For example, if the Sun☉ is at 10 degrees ecliptic longitude (10 degrees of Aries) and Jupiter ♃ is at 70 degrees ecliptic longitude (10 degrees of Gemini) or 310 degrees ecliptic longitude (10 degrees of Aquarius), the Sun and Jupiter ♃ are in this sextile relationship. 

The sextile ✼ is also a strong aspect and is considered a good one.

E Square 🔲　 90 degrees

This means that the stars are at a 90-degree angle to each other on the ecliptic longitude. 

For example, if the Sun☉ is at 10 degrees ecliptic longitude (10 degrees of Aries) and Saturn ♄ is at 100 degrees ecliptic longitude (10 degrees of Cancer) or 280 degrees ecliptic longitude (10 degrees of Capricorn), the Sun and Saturn ♄ are in this square🔲 relationship. 

It is considered a strong negative angle.

F Semi-sextile ∠　 30 degrees (150 degrees)　

Some books don't say much about this semi-sextile, but according to Tanu-chan, this means that the stars are at an angle of 30 or 150 degrees to each other on the ecliptic meridian.

For example, if the Sun☉ is at 10 degrees ecliptic longitude (10 degrees of Aries) and Uranus♅ is at 40 degrees ecliptic longitude (10 degrees of Taurus) or 160 degrees ecliptic longitude (10 degrees of Virgo) or 220 degrees ecliptic longitude (10 degrees of Scorpio) or 340 degrees ecliptic longitude (10 degrees of Pisces), then the Sun and Uranus have this semi-sextile ∠ relationship.

It is a negative aspect, though not so strong, unless it arises in relation to Saturn♄ or the ASC. 

This aspect will show you a clear effect.

G Semi-Quintile SQ 36 degrees (72, 108, 144 degrees)

According to Tanu-chan, this aspect means that the stars are positioned 36 degrees apart or multiples of 36 degrees apart on the ecliptic meridian.

For example, if the Sun☉ is at 10 degrees ecliptic longitude (10 degrees of Aries) and Neptune♆ is at 46 degrees ecliptic longitude (16 degrees of Taurus) or 82 degrees ecliptic longitude (22 degrees of Gemini) or 118 degrees ecliptic longitude (28 degrees of Cancer) or 154 degrees ecliptic longitude (4 degrees of Virgo) or 226 degrees ecliptic longitude (16 degrees of Scorpio ) or 262 degrees ecliptic longitude (22 degrees of Sagittarius) or 298 degrees ecliptic longitude (28 degrees of Capricorn) or 334 degrees ecliptic longitude (4 degrees of Pisces), the Sun☉ and Neptune♆ will be in this semi-quintile (SQ) relationship.

It is an angle of weak influence and a mixture of good and bad luck. 

Think of it as a very small ☌ conjunction or ☍ opposition. 

In fact, don't worry about it too much.

2. The only difference between Tanu-chan's explanation and the traditional textbooks is the part about the F semi-sextile∠  and the G semi-quintile SQ.

In the traditional textbooks, there are some that mention about 45 degrees (semi-square) , but in Tanu-chan's experience, there is probably no aspect of 45 degrees.

There is an aspect of 90 degrees, but probably not 45 degrees. But 90/5 = 18 degrees may mean something.

According to Tanu-chan, there are only 7 types of aspects above for now.

Because, you may be surprised ,

when I suddenly tell you, 

"This is the number of the regular polyhedron in the world!"

⚡ ⚡ ⚡ ⚡

3. When Tanu-chan says like this, you may hear someone say, 

"There are five regular polyhedra (Platohedron = tetrahedron, hexahedron, octahedron, dodecahedron, icosahedron) and no more!"

Also, I could hear a voice saying, 

"Tanu-chan, are you all right?"😟

Well, yes, there is no doubt that the Platonhedron is five of the "seven regular polyhedra"．．．

OK, you know, Tanu-chan is a liberal arts student.

At any rate, I will explain you the relationship between the Platohedron and the aspects of astrology.

The explanation would be a bit long, so that's all for today!

See you next time!
