Aspects by Johnro

Regarding the provided text on astrological aspects: Planetary aspects, occurring at 0 degrees (conjunction) and multiples of 15 degrees, form angular relationships that mirror electrical axes in crystalline structures, shaping personality, health, and life circumstances as seen from Earth. These aspects can be broadly categorized as positive (extrovertive) or negative (introvertive), alternating every 15 degrees, influencing life patterns as explored in electrophysics.

Summary ParagraphIn astrology, when two planets form an aspect (other than an exact conjunction), they are positioned east or west of each other in the zodiac, and their relative positions influence the aspect’s meaning, as determined by their tone and sub-tone. For example, if Jupiter is on the cusp of Sagittarius/Capricorn and Venus is on the cusp of Aquarius/Pisces, they form a 60-degree sextile, with Venus east of Jupiter and Jupiter west of Venus. However, if Venus is on the Libra/Scorpio cusp, the same 60-degree angle forms, but Venus is west of Jupiter, and Jupiter is east of Venus. In a scenario with Venus in Aries, Jupiter in Cancer, and Neptune in Libra, Venus is 90 degrees west of Neptune, Neptune is 90 degrees east of Venus and 90 degrees west of Jupiter, Jupiter is 90 degrees east of Neptune, and Venus and Jupiter are 180 degrees apart (opposition), equally east and west of each other. The zodiac’s east direction is anti-clockwise (Capricorn to Pisces), and west is clockwise (Sagittarius to Libra). Early astrologers distinguished these positions using “dexter” (east, stronger) and “sinister” (west, weaker) aspects, a practice now revived to emphasize their interpretive significance.Simple ExplanationImagine two planets in the sky making an angle, like a line between them, but they’re not exactly together. One planet is always a bit “ahead” (east) or “behind” (west) in the zodiac circle, which goes in order like Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces (east, anti-clockwise) or Sagittarius, Scorpio, Libra (west, clockwise). For example, if Jupiter is between Sagittarius and Capricorn, and Venus is between Aquarius and Pisces, they’re 60 degrees apart, with Venus east of Jupiter. But if Venus is between Libra and Scorpio, it’s west of Jupiter for the same 60-degree angle. This east-west position changes how the planets’ connection feels in astrology. Long ago, astrologers called east aspects “dexter” (stronger) and west aspects “sinister” (weaker), and this idea is being brought back to make chart interpretations clearer and more detailed.


Summary Paragraph

In astrology, the east and west positions of planets in aspects (other than conjunctions) significantly alter their interpretive meanings, as outlined in the A and B groupings, where each arm of an aspect carries a specific planetary tone and subtone. For instance, in a 120-degree trine aspect, the eastern planet adopts a Mars tone (executive, action-oriented) with a Mercury subtone (mindedness, communication), enhancing its own nature with assertive, communicative qualities, while the western planet takes a Uranus tone (inventive, innovative) with a Mercury subtone, expressing its qualities through inventive thinking. This principle, exemplified in Henry Ford’s horoscope with four close 120-degree aspects, allows the Sun, Moon, and eight planets, through 13 aspects, to govern complex life traits and events. By combining the tone and subtone qualities with the planet’s inherent nature, as detailed in The Astrological Dictionary, astrologers can deduce intricate details about individuals or world events (e.g., eclipses, lunations), initially challenging but increasingly insightful with practice in synthesizing these planetary influences.
