Astrology is a pseudoscience, but has many useful tools to determine details about someone’s character or destiny.
It determines the potential of situations and relationships. It can be used to predict events that will happen in the future.
People used astrology since ancient times and it was considered a valuable means to foretell someone’s future.
This discipline deciphers the meaning of planets in the natal chart of some person and draws conclusions about the person’s character and their events they could experience.
Especially important in this analysis are the relationships between the planets in a natal chart. They are called aspects and are created when planets form certain angles.
Aspects are very influential when they are exact. In fact, exact aspects build the person’s destiny and character in the most part.
Aspects can have harmonious or inharmonious nature. They can be major or minor aspects, with major being more important.
Minor aspects should not be neglected, which is especially true if they are exact. Major aspects are sextiles, trines, conjunction, square, and opposition.
Trines are considered fortunate aspects. They are major aspects created when the planets form an angle of 120 degrees.
Trines have a harmonious nature and are bringers of good fortune in the person’s life, especially in the areas ruled by the planets connected with this aspect. Trines enable the energy of the planets to be expressed freely.
These aspects bring fortunate opportunities for expansion, but they can also spoil the person with many trines, making all things easily available and depriving them of the need to put in some effort into accomplishing their desires and goals.
Synastry
Astrology is not only used to analyze individual natal charts. It can also be used to analyze relationships between people and determine the potential of the relationship. Astrology uses a technique called synastry to analyze relationships.
This is done similarly like in analyzing the natal chart of an individual, usually by analyzing the aspects between the planets in two charts, and the placements of planets in the chart of the other partner.
The houses where the partner’s planets fall point the areas which will be influenced mostly by this person. There are other techniques for more detailed analysis, but these are the most important ones.
This analysis can give a lot of information about a relationship. It might describe it and its potential with a lot of accuracy.
The relationship with predominately challenging aspects will be filled with tension and the partners will have a problem maintaining it.
This relationship requires a lot of patience, compromise, and will from both partners to be kept alive. The partners should be willing to give it a chance and be tolerant to their partner’s differences.
If there is not enough will and effort, the relationship will end.
Such aspects between two natal charts usually indicate basic incompatibility and lack of understanding between the partners.
When the aspects are mostly beneficial, the relationship is usually unfolding smoothly and the partners enjoy their mutual interaction. They usually don’t experience many issues, and the ones they do experience they easily solve with cooperation and mutual effort.
This relationship is usually satisfying for both partners.
The partners’ characters are compatible and they don’t need to effort much to sustain this relationship.
Beneficial aspects between two natal charts usually indicate that the characters of both people are in harmony and compatible.
Challenging aspects are always a problem, in all types of relationships because they tend to provoke conflicts and cause tension between people. They require tolerance and will on both sides to overcome the issues these aspects are causing.
Harmonious aspects ease relationships and make them unfold naturally.
