Aspects

Angular relationships between planets in a birth chart.

What this means

Major aspects include conjunction (0°), opposition (180°), trine (120°), square (90°), and sextile (60°). Each aspect describes how planetary energies interact — harmoniously (trine, sextile) or with tension (square, opposition).
