What Are Aspects in Astrology?

Simply put, aspects refer to the angles the planets create in your birth chart. These in turn work together to form a relación with each other.

Each planet has a specific personality trait, and depending on which planets are at play and what angles they create, these planets can have a neutral, harmonious, or tense relationship. When it comes to your birth chart, aspects can reveal different parts in your life where you either thrive or experience tension.

The aspects within our birth chart can illuminate areas of ease and abundance in our lives where we feel like luck is on our side. They can also help us bridge the link between some of the more difficult experiences we each move through. Having this awareness allows us to take steps towards working in harmony with our unique blueprint. It allows for not just self-acceptance, but also curación and thriving.
