Hey Henry, What Are Your Thoughts On North Nodes? It Seems Like Such An Important Part Of Ones Chart,

The big difference between Aries’ egotism and Leo’s egotism is that Aries is full on confidence and Leo’s pride has insecurity behind it. Leos are usually looking for validation whereas Aries are quite literally full of themselves.

A guide to... astrological aspects

I love studying astrological aspects so I decided to make a guide on it! Aspects are measured angles between the planets (and ascendant + MC) that have influence on you. They can also be off by a few degrees, this is called an orb and the smaller orb an aspect has, the stronger it is. They can be positive, negative, or neutral. Neutral aspects can either be positive or negative depending on the planets involved. There are major aspects, minor aspects, and aspect patterns. I’ll go over the first two of those in this post.

Major aspects are aspects that have a bigger significance. Major aspects are…

Conjunction - This is two planets 0˚ away from one another. This is a neutral aspect. The planet’s involved energies  are brought together with this aspect so depending on the planets it could either be good or bad.

Sextile - This is two planets that are 60˚ away from one another. This aspect is generally positive. The energies of the planets involved inspire, encourage, and cooperate well with each other.

Square - This is two planets that are 90˚ away from one another. This is a negative aspect to have. The planets energies don’t cooperate and they cause mutually exclusive desires and needs.

Trine - These are two planets that are 120˚ away from one another. This is a positive aspect. The planets involved’s energies work together harmoniously, enriching one another.

Opposition - These are two planets which are 180˚ away from one another. This is generally a negative aspect but it can also be viewed as a neutral aspect, depending on the planets involved. There is tension between these planets energies but this can be motivating.

Minor aspects are aspects that have lesser significance. Minor aspects are…

Semisextile - These are two planets that are 30˚ away from one another. This is a neutral aspect so it can either be positive of negative depending on the planets involved. It can symbolize that the planets involved’s energies can cause a hard-to-discover potential. 

Semisquare - These are two planets that are 45˚ away from one another. This is a negative aspect. The energies of the planets involved cause unapparent tension.

Quintile - This is two planets that are 72˚ away from one another. It is a positive aspect. The energies of these planets work together to unleash talent and potential They can point to purposeful uses of one’s talent and this talent usually has to do with art.

Sesquisquare - These two planets are 135˚ away from one another. This is a negative aspect. These two planetary energies cause conflict and tension just like the square except this tension is easier to suppress… making it harder to learn from.

Biquintile - These two planets are 144˚ away from one another. This is a positive aspect. These planets energies are very good for artistic areas. Although people are generally only vaguely aware of the energy from this aspect.

Quincunx/Inconjunct - These two planets are 150˚ away from one another. This is a neutral aspect and arguably the most important of the minor aspects. It give potential that is difficult to release and adjust to.

Well, I hope this helped someone understand aspects better! Feel free to drop any questions you have into my ask box!! Also, please inform me if you would like me to make a post on aspect patterns.

Moon in a cardinal sign (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) feels best when they turn emotions into determination, when they become leaders. They feel at an emotional best when leading or achieving their goals or when they have something to dedicate themselves to

Moon in a fixed sign (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) feels best when they are being listened to or doing their own thing. They don’t like being told what to do or how to feel. They feel their best when they are going their own way

Moon in a mutable sign (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces) feels best when going with the flow and being able to have room to fix or accommodate plans or themselves. They feel at an emotional best when they have room to grow and change

How Well Do you Know Neptune?

Dark, cold and whipped by supersonic winds, Neptune is the last of the hydrogen and helium gas giants in our solar system. More than 30 times as far from the sun as Earth, the planet takes almost 165 Earth years to orbit our sun! In fact, in 2011, Neptune completed its first orbit since its discovery in 1846.

Here are a few things you might not know about the windiest planet:

If the sun were as tall as a typical front door, the Earth would be the size of a nickel and Neptune would be about as big as a baseball.

Neptune orbits our sun, a star. Neptune is the eighth planet from the sun at a distance of about 4.5 billion km (2.8 billion miles) or 30.07 AU. 

One day on Neptune takes about 16 hours (the time it takes for Neptune to rotate or spin once)

Neptune makes a complete orbit around the sun (a year in Neptunian time) in about 165 Earth years (60,190 Earth days)

Neptune has six rings

Voyager 2 is the only spacecraft to have visited Neptune

Neptune has 13 moons. They are named after various sea gods and nymphs in Greek mythology

Did you know that Neptune has storms?

Similar to Jupiter, Neptune has storms that create gigantic spots in its atmosphere…well, it did. When Voyager 2 flew past Neptune in 1989, it tracked and imaged the “Great Dark Spot” — a storm larger than the entire Earth! When the Hubble Space Telescope imaged Neptune the spot had disappeared, only to be replaced with two smaller storms, which in turn also disappeared.
