The study of the influence of planets and stars on people and the world is called astrology. Astrology is very old and is composed of knowledge and experiences which are collected for ages. According to the discovered written records, its origins are in ancient Babylon.

Astrology can give us a lot of valuable insights about personal traits, interests, beliefs, and preferences of a person. It can also give predictions about future events and outcomes of events. Astrology is unjustly underestimated and given the status of pseudoscience.

When astrology analysis is done, the astrologer makes a natal chart for to determine planetary positions in a certain moment; in most cases, the moment of someone’s birth.

After creating a natal chart, the astrologer analyzes the planets in the signs and their placements in the houses of the chart; the astrologer also calculates the aspects between the planets.

This is a basic astrology analysis, which can nevertheless give a lot of information.

The meanings of the planets in signs, especially personal planets like Venus, Moon, Sun, Mercury, and Mars, create a picture of the person’s character, their attitude, appearance, public image, interests, beliefs, etc.

The planets in the houses reveal where their focus of attention and the majority of actions are focused. The aspects between planets also reveal the traits of a person as well as possible events they could experience during their lifetime.

Aspects are different angles between planets with specific meanings. They might have beneficial nature or they might be challenging in nature. Beneficial aspects create opportunities for success and accomplishment of desires. They allow the planets to cooperate and reveal the best in their nature.

Challenging aspects create blocks and often delay or completely prevent accomplishments. They are often responsible for conflicts and disagreements. They require a lot of patience and effort to achieve success.

The aspects can also be divided in a major and minor type.

Minor aspects, like the quincunx, semi-sextiles, semi-squares, novile, and others, have a small tolerance of degrees (usually 1 degree) and are used by some astrologers alongside major aspects.

Major aspects have a wider degree tolerance (up to 8-10 degrees) and are used in all astrology analysis. The major aspects are sextiles, oppositions, square, trine, and the conjunction.

Oppositions are major aspects with challenging nature. They form when two or more planets are at 180 degrees distance from one another.

Opposition creates tension because each planet tends to pull to its side. This aspect requires the need to find balance between the opposing energies of the planets so the best of both could be used.

If there is a lack of compromise, the energies of the planets will inevitably become conflicted fighting to be in the center of attention. 

Synastry

Relationship potential can also be analyzed by astrology. The technique which astrology uses for this purpose is called synastry.

Many people don’t believe that is possible to determine whether a relationship will be a harmonious or conflicting one, and whether it has a lasting potential, but astrology does exactly that, and with considerable accuracy.

The main idea behind synastry analysis is that people who interact bring their planets in their interaction and the relationship between their planets reveals the nature of the relationship between them.

Synastry analysis consists of first analyzing individual charts of two people; the main reason is to determine their personalities and interests. After that, the astrologer compares their natal charts and determines the aspects between their planets.

Also, the houses where the planets from the other chart fall are noted.

These houses give insight about the areas of life which are likely to be affected by this relationship and the partner whose planets fall into the houses of the other partner.

The aspects between planets are crucial for determining the compatibility between partners.

If the analysis shows lack of significant aspects this usually means that there isn’t enough attraction and interest to form a relationship. If the aspects are mostly challenging, this could indicate a lot of tension and conflicts in the relationship.

It is usually a sign of incompatible characters and lack of understanding between the partners.

They are often intolerant to each other’s differences and tend to criticize their partner which also leads to tension and conflicts between the partners. In worst cases, these aspects can lead to violence.

These relationships are often short-lived and represent tormenting and exhausting experience for the partners.

When the aspects are predominately harmonious, this is usually a sign of compatibility and similar interests.

These two appreciate each other and value their relationship. They are tolerant to each other’s differences and are willing to make compromises for the sake of their relationship.

These are usually lasting relationship and a satisfying experience for the partners.
