Please remember to reduce the orb ratio down to 40% (ONLY for synastry bi wheel) as the max orb between planets is 3'. Composite should be 85% orbs

when you get this SYNASTRY chart, please also post the *pdf file*, above left of chart look for *view additional tables (PDF)* This will bring up 2pages. Scroll down to last page for the *aspect grid* THIS is very important as it seems to show more aspects than is visible on the bi wheel…

problem is uploading to photobucket (or imageshack) you have to change this from Abode format into a picture/jpeg format. This is done by getting the relevant page/grid in front of you on screen then, the press ‘prtsc sysrq’ - top row inbetween pause break and F12. This has been copied to clipboard.

Paste into Paint or some other photo software. Crop the picture and save to hard drive, then upload to photobucket, select chart, press IMG and past link into thread.... all done

Or is 40% your preference?

Why don't you list your Professional Astrological qualfications and time in the buiness earning money from it? we can then compare notes....

Well over past 20years of being a practising astrology, lecturer, teacher, these are the orbs I use.

Now rather than critiquing my work, why don't you just comment on your views??

“orb when determining whether one planet forms an aspect to another, astrologers allow an "orb" of influence, which is a specific number of degrees. aspects between planets gradually form, become exact and separate. when an aspect is exact, it has its greatest impact. yet, the effect of most aspects can be felt for some time before and after the moment when it is exact. the range within which an aspect is in operation is called its 'orb of influence', or simply its orb. an orb of one or two degrees of arc on either side of the exact aspect is considered a close or tight orb, while an orb of 10 degrees is loose.” http://cafeastrology.com/glossaryofastrology.html

“The basis of synastry comparison is examining the planets that are closely aspected. A minimal number of degrees is set for their orb. I typically use a 2 degree orb.

The method of determining the astrological compatibility through the use of the synastry grid can be broken down into steps.” http://astrology.magickwithin.com/western-astrology-synastry-grind.htm

“This is one of those questions that has a lot of maybe's involved in the answer. I tend to use pretty tight orb's, 3 degree's or less, but that does not mean wider ones or ones just by sign do not work. I tend to look at the entirety of the charts involved, so for example lets say That Venus conjunct mars was in Aries, well I would give the wider orb,especially if their were a lot of other strong Mars energies. But if it was in Libra where Mars is not strong I would more than likely not consider it within orb. You questions goes to the heart of the art of astrology, like all of life very few "rules" are written in stone, a certain amount of judgment or common sense is needed, a good amount of intuition and practice helps you sorting it all out. I give wider orbs to the conjunction and opposition, trines and sextiles I usually keep very tight not a whole lot more than 1 to 1 1/2 degrees. Squares I sort of play by ear, so if the square sets off a patter in the charts I allow wider orbs if its a free standing aspect I normally keep the orb very tight.” http://en.allexperts.com/q/Astrology-2205/2009/9/ORBS-synastry.htm

The above is all I needed to hear. You obviously have great insight but you are potentially misleading people by telling them only 3º orbs count. It's good to see that you allow for some flexibility there. There is no doubt that you are a learned astrologer. People most likely look up to you and take your words at face value. That's why you have the responsibility to be absolutely precise.

I greatly admire your willingness to jump in and help at any time.

You seem to have an entire database of relevant links although some of them give me a 404 error. I wish LL could have a page just for all the links you and possibly others have found and are willing to share.
