There are three different planetary movements found in the birth chart. These movements are known as applying aspects, (planets moving together to form an aspect) separating aspects, (planets moving away from one another) and stationary aspects (stationary direct or stationary retrograde). We are going to discuss the applying and separating aspects in our Natal Chart in this post.
All planets, whether retrograde or direct in the birth chart, will either be forming an aspect with another planet or separating from aspect to a planet. The closer to exact the aspect, the stronger its influence is in our lives. There are some planets that make no aspects, although this is rare. If they are not making a major aspect (sextile, trine, conjunction, inconjunct, square or opposition) they are very powerful in the natal chart.
Many astrologers believe that a separating aspect deals with
past events, or if you like, finished business.
These suggest something that has already been dealt with and will
eventually fade over time. Some believe
that the acknowledgement and correction took place before birth and that we
have already adjusted to or overcome whatever the two planets involve
describe. The degrees that separate the
planets describe how powerful that aspect is in the chart. The closer degrees to being direct with an
aspect, the more likely that this energy was perhaps one of the last things
that was set in motion in a previous lifetime, but this is speculative.
Astrologers understand this significance and will define its
intensity and help delineate the meaning of any influence in the Birth
Chart. When planets are applying, it is
understood that the faster moving planet is moving towards the slower moving
planet and suggested unfinished business that will have to be rectified during
the course of this lifetime. Once again,
the closer the aspect, the more apparent and pressing the energies of the
planets involved. We have come into this
life to uncover the aspects meaning and address the apparent issue and come to
terms with whatever the planets and aspects suggest.
The applying aspects becomes stronger as time passes. They intensify and push us in directions that
will assist us in defining the apparent circumstances involving these two
planetary energies. These conditions are
dealt with after birth. Applying aspects
are suggestive of future endeavours that should be dealt with and transits that
touch on these planetary links can intensify the birth condition and help us push
towards resolution. This is not to say
that all aspects between planets are challenging; far from it.
You must review the planets involved and decipher how well
they work together and what aspects are involved before making a judgement call
on how the energies will affect one another.
It should also be understood that a tight square or opposition in the
birth chart has been set in motion in this life for us to overcome and could
therefore be considered a challenging but advantageous aspect forcing us to
make adjustments that in turn enhance development.
Without challenging conditions in the birth chart, and there
are charts that are extremely easy flowing with many trines and sextiles, there
is little offered for achievement in life.
It is the challenging aspects that motivate us forward and challenge us
to push for resolution.
Remember the tighter the aspect, the more significant its
influence in our lives. When deciphering
a chart, it is very important to take this into consideration.
For example, a conjunction between Mars and Pluto is a very
strong aspect, but if they are separating from one another and are out by 8
degrees, this is considered a weak conjunction, in comparison to a conjunction
between these two planets approaching out only by one degree. The latter scenario would be far stronger.
If for example the 8 degrees separating aspect of Pluto and
Mars, although considered a powerful combination, were compared to an aspect of
let’s say Venus conjunct the Sun, (which is a much softer aspect). In this example the Venus conjunct the Sun
aspect is applying and only out by 23 minutes.
The latter conjunction would have a far greater influence than the aspect
between Mars and Pluto separating at 8 degrees.
