Our ancestors were aware of the influence planets have on life on earth and on humans. They gathered knowledge and facts about this influence in a discipline called astrology. It is believed that the origin of astrology dates back to the ancient Babylonians.
Analyzing the planets’ positions and their mutual relationships at a time of someone’s birth can say a lot about someone’s personal traits and character, their interests, choices, desires, and the likely destiny they could experience in life.
Astrology analyses the exact positions of planets in signs and houses in the natal chart and calculates the aspects between these planets to determine all these information.
The houses where the planets fall in the natal chart show areas that will most likely play the strongest role in the person’s life and be the center of their interests.
The aspects between the planets describe their personal traits and the events that are likely to happen. Aspects are certain angles formed between planets.
The greatest importance have major or main aspects, like the sextile, conjunction, square, trines, and oppositions. There are also minor aspects which can also be very important when they are exact.
Aspects can have harmonious or challenging nature and influence. The aspects with harmonious nature create a cooperative bond between the planets.
These aspects allow the planets to express their best nature and create opportunities for the person to prosper and fulfill their desires and goals.
Challenging aspects have a different effect. They block the energy of the planets and prevent planets from cooperating. It prevents them to express their best traits and create obstacles to achieving goals.
The conjunction is often considered the most powerful aspect of all. Conjunction is formed when two or more planets are at a 0 degree distance. The deviation for this aspect can go up to 10 degrees.
The aspect is stronger when it is applying. Conjunction has a neutral nature and it takes on the nature of the planets which form this aspect. Malevolent planets in conjunction usually make this aspect have challenging nature. Harmonious planets in conjunction have benevolent nature.
If some malevolent and some benevolent planet form a conjunction, usually the malevolent planet wins over the harmonious.
Synastry
Astrology can analyze not only individual potential but also the potential of relationships between people. It does so through a technique called synastry.
Synastry analyzes the natal charts of two people and calculates the aspects between their planets.
It also analyzes the placements of one person’s planets in the natal charts of the other person to determine the areas where this person could likely influence the owner of the natal chart.
The aspects between their planets can reveal whether the relationship will be a lasting one or not.
If the aspects are predominately beneficial, this indicates harmony and compatibility of these people’s characters. There is usually an expressed interest in maintaining the relationship where both people put in the effort to overcome and tolerate each other’s differences.
This relationship usually unfolds naturally without requiring much effort and adjustment of the partners.
The relationship which has predominately challenging aspects usually reveals that the partners have incompatible characters and there is a lack of understanding between them.
Challenging aspects could cause minor misunderstandings but also major conflicts and in some cases violence between the partners.
Such relationships require a lot of effort and compromise from either partners (or only one of the partners). It requires tolerance and will to maintain the relationship despite it is a cause of dissatisfaction.
This is why these relationships often don’t last long, or if they do last, it is at a high price.
Sometimes comparative analysis of the natal charts of two people shows lack of connections between the charts, which usually is a sign of lack of interest and indicate that the relationship between them isn’t likely to begin or that they are completely indifferent towards one another during their interaction.

This doesn’t have to be a good thing per se, because between these two there is usually present a feeling of unease and intolerance, often without a visible and rational explanation.
These two should be mature enough and have an evolved consciousness to deal with this aspect correctly and have the necessary tolerance for each other.
This aspect could be useful if they both do some creative things in life, and especially if they do them together. They are both very creative and their creativity differs depending on their interests.
