Planetary Aspects

Planetary aspects are the angular relationships between planets in a birth chart. These geometric connections determine how planets influence each other and modify their basic significations.

In Vedic astrology, aspects are based on full sign relationships rather than exact degrees. Each planet has specific aspects it casts, creating a network of influences throughout the chart.

Understanding aspects is crucial for accurate chart interpretation as they reveal how different life areas interact and influence each other.

All planets aspect the 7th house from their position (opposition aspect). Mars additionally aspects the 4th and 8th houses, Jupiter aspects the 5th and 9th houses, and Saturn aspects the 3rd and 10th houses.

Benefic aspects bring harmony and positive influence, while malefic aspects can create challenges and obstacles. The strength of aspects depends on the planetary dignity and overall chart context.

Mutual aspects between planets create special relationships that significantly influence the chart's interpretation.
