Hi All..
Since Mercury and Venus are inferior planets, they have a limit to the orb they can have with the Sun. I calculated the maximum orbs and got the following answers:
Mercury - 25.02 Deg
Venus - 35.75 Deg
Conjunct is the only major aspect possible between either of these and the sun
Also, between them, they at the best can have a sextile. (when they are on opposite sides of the sun for maximum orb i.e. 25.02+35.75 = around 60 deg)
Could anyone please corroborate this or give me links?
Cheers
Ravi

Umm...I think that there is something wrong with your Venus calculation, my Venus is at 2 degrees Leo, and my Sun 17 degrees Virgo, which gives a difference of 42 degrees...just thought I would point that out....IP: Logged |

Mercury is the nearest planet to the Sun, and astronomically it is referred to as an "inferior" planet - that is, its orbit lies between those of the Earth and the Sun. It is the smallest of the known planets and has a year of 88 days - that is the time it takes to travel around the Sun. So, apart from the Moon, it is the fastest moving of the bodies used by astrologers, and its movements are comparatively eccentric, for its orbit takes it to within 29 millions miles of the Sun, and sometimes it whirls it 43 million miles away. As seen from the Earth, however, it is always relatively close to the Sun and never further away than 27 degrees.Venus
The other "inferior" planet is 67.2 million miles from the Sun, and takes 225 days to travel round it. Its maximum distance from the Sun as seen from Earth is 48 degrees, so, unlike Mercury, it is usually visible at night. Sue  IP: Logged | |
