	An aspect that is exact is called '''perfect'''. An aspect that is within orb and getting closer to perfection is called '''applying''', and one that is within orb and in the process of moving further from perfection is called '''departing'''. An aspect between planets in the same degree of their respective signs is called a '''partile''' aspect (for example, two planets in 18º01' Leo and 18º59' Sagittarius are in partile trine. Two planets in 18º01' Leo and 17º59' Sagittarius are not, even though they are closer to being perfect). Aspects that fall in the "wrong" sign by virtue of their orb (such as the Leo/Capricorn example given above) are sometimes called '''occult''' or '''hidden aspects'''.

	~~Here~~ is a ~~description~~ of conjunction.		This is said to be the most powerful and harmonious aspect, intensifying the effects of the involved planets. If the planets are afflicted, then the conjunction will be said to intensify this affliction. If one of the bodies is the sun or moon, a separation of 0±10° is considered a conjunction. If neither the sun or moon is involved, a conjunction is a separation of 0±8°.

	~~Here is~~ a ~~description~~.		Oppositions are said to be the second most powerful aspect and are often seen as “disharmonious”. However, they are looked on less negatively than in the past, providing challenges in life, but also providing an integrating link, like a backbone. Overall, an opposition between two planets creates tension, which can have positive or negative results.

	~~Here~~ is ~~a description~~.		The square is said to indicate strain, tension, and energy, presenting challenges to achievement and an opportunity to develop strength of character. In this aspect, planets tend to be "blocked," since it is akin to having two connected forces struggling to move in different directions. A common manifestation is having multiple needs that are mutually exclusive.

	~~Here~~ is a ~~description~~.		The trine is said to be extremely beneficial, providing ease (even if undeserved). Too many trines are said to make a person unable to cope with adversity. In this aspect, the best qualities of the planets are magnified and this is often where a person will see their greatest "natural" talents.

	An '''aspect''' is an angular relationship between planets that indicates that their significations are connected in some way. Generally speaking, aspects are classified as harmonious, inharmonious, or neutral. The most commonly used aspects are those called the major aspects: the trine (120º), the sextile (60º), the square (90º), the opposition (180º), and the conjunction (0º). The trine and sextile are considered harmonious or supportive, while the opposition and square are considered inharmionious. The conjunction is considered neutral in itself; it may have a positive or negative connotation depending on the planets involved and their house placement.

An '''aspect''' is an angular relationship between planets that indicates that their significations are connected in some way. Generally speaking, aspects are classified as harmonious, inharmonious, or neutral. The most commonly used aspects are those called the major aspects: the trine (120º), the sextile (60º), the square (90º), the opposition (180º), and the conjunction (0º). The trine and sextile are considered harmonious or supportive, while the opposition and square are considered inharmionious. The conjunction is considered neutral in itself; it may have a positive or negative connotation depending on the planets involved and their house placement.

Aspects need not be exact to be considered present; a certain amount of leeway, called the '''orb''' of the aspect, is allowed. For the aspects listed above, an orb of 6-8º is usually allowed. So planets that are 54º-66º apart in [[ecliptic longitude]] are considered to be in sextile aspect to one another, although an exact aspect is usually considered more meaningful.

An aspect measured forward through the zodiac was called a "left" aspect (so, for example, Leo to Sagittarius would be a "left trine"), and an aspect in the other direction was called a "right" aspect (Leo to Aries would be a "right trine").
