Astrological aspects represent relations that come from specific connections between the astrological planets. Aspects are specific angles planets form with one another.

They are an essential element of every astrological chart and, thus, of major importance in understanding what the chart represent.

Aspects significantly affect the way certain personality traits and characteristics are going to present in an individual.

Aspects could be positive or negative; they could be easy or difficult, in terms of channeling the energy between the planets involved. If planets were in positive, favorable aspects, good sides and positive characteristics of their general nature would show out, unrestrained.

For example, if a person has a favorably positioned planet Moon (yes, the Moon is considered a planet in astrology), he or she would have no problem in dealing with their emotional side.

If the aspects were bad, the individual might have experience difficulties in expressing and channeling emotions.

It applies to all planets and all specific characteristics they represent. When two planets are in good aspects, they present their energies the best way possible, combined and compatible, in a balanced flow.

Today, we are talking about Mercury sextile Jupiter aspect.
