For those of you who do not know how to find the distance between planets, I hope this helps, if you're still stuck let me know and we'll do it together. This is one of those things you MUST know.

Starting from the beginning
If your sun is at 25 degrees 14 minutes and 36 seconds Taures
and you want to calculate the distance to your moon at 13 degrees 48 minutes and 12 seconds Libra
It takes 45 minutes and 14 seconds to get to 26 degrees Taures 4 degrees to get out of Taures
30 degrees for gemini
30 degrees for Cancer
30 degrees for leo
30 degrees for virgo
13 degrees 48 minutes 12 seconds Libra to get to the moon
it should look like this
4 degrees 45' 14" (finish Taures)
120 (gem-vir)
+13 degrees 48' 12"
this equals a distance of 138 degrees 33' 26"
when adding these together remember that there are only 60 seconds to a minute, therefore you don't subtract from 100
I hope this isn't to confusing

Take 2 of your natal planets, post the degrees, minutes and seconds and give me the distance. The best way to learn is to just do it!

lal,here's what i've done,although i'm not too sure that i'm doing it right...
My sun: 8 deg, 24'27'' aqua
My Mars: 8 deg,54'20'' scorp
it takes 21 deg,6'19'' to get out of scorp, then adding 90 for sag n cappy,plus 8 deg,24'27''for my aqua sun,i get the distance between these two planets to be 119deg,30'56''..which can't be right since they are almost an exact square
then,
my mars:8deg,54'20'' scorp
my venus: 4deg,6'58''
it takes 21deg,6'19'' to get out of scorp, then adding 30 for sag,plus 4deg,6'58'' cappy for venus,i get 55deg,13'17'' as the distance between them,this aspect is supposed to be trine....
then,
my sun:8deg,24'27''aqua
my jupiter: 1deg,59'30''cappy
it takes 28deg,1'10'' to get out of cappy,then i straight away add the 8deg,24'27'' aqua for my sun n the distance between them is 36deg,25'37'',which i guess is right since you said they form a decile
another one i did was:
my saturn:15deg,47'5'' scorp
my neptune:0deg,19'47''cappy
it takes 14deg,13'35'' to get out of scorp,then adding 30 for sag,plus the 0deg,19'47''cappy,the distance between them as i found it to be is 44deg,33'22'',which also makes sense since you said they are semi-square,right?
all in all,i have to admit,i'm a bit confused about the results i got for the trine and square aspects,although the other two seem to be right...
well,my teacher will help me out...so tell me prof,what is it that i did right or wrong?

My sun is 8deg 4'58" Pis
My Mars is 11deg 28' 33" Aries

So....

22deg 56'2" to get out of Pisces
+
11deg 28' 33" to get to Mars
=
34deg 24' 35" ??? I think

Goober sweetie,
You are so on the right track
Start with Mars 8 degrees 54 min 20 seconds
40 second to bring it to 55 minutes
5 minutes to bring it to 9 degrees
21 degrees to bring it to Sag
30 degrees to bring it to Cap
30 degrees to bring it to Aquarius
8 degrees 24 minutes and 27 seconds to your Sun - now lets add what we have
21 degrees 05 minutes and 40 seconds (to Sag)
30 degrees (to get to Cap)
30 degrees (to get to Aquarius)
08 degrees 24 min 27 seconds (to get to the sun)
21 05 40
30 00 00
30 00 00
08 24 27
carry the 7 down
4 and 2 is 6 but because anything over 60 seconds is a minute add 1 minute to you minute column and it leaves 7 seconds.
1 plus 5 plus 4 is 10 so zero and carry the 1
1 plus 2 is 3 so we're down to 30 minutes
(now we're on degrees)
21
30
30
08
equals 89 degrees 30 minutes 07 seconds
you are 29 minutes 53 seconds short of an exact square (90 degrees) that is less than a half of degree
Actually you have it, you just got an extra 30 degrees in there somewhere, as you get used to it you'll be able to see it instead of having to calculate it by hand Good Work!

Astromis
Sun 08 04 58
2 seconds to get to 5 minutes
25 minutes to get to 9 degrees
21 degrees to get to Aries
11 28 33 to get to Mars
so we have 21 25 02
plus 11 28 33
equals 32 degrees 53 minutes 35 seconds
work on this one honey you've almost got it I have an important dinner for my daughters college tonight and I'm running a little late but I will be checking in. Aspect the distance between 2 more planets and when I get back we'll go over it

I am so proud of both of you, Exellent Effort!

It is suposed to be 32 58 35 because 25+28=58?

I found out where I went wrong... I thought there were 60' in one deg... guess not... 30 right? Wait then how can my moon be at 48'

Lalalinda, thank you for brining this topic up, and explaining how to find aspects.

Now, I am not certain if I did it correctly, I have a feeling it should be somewhere in the 120 - 125 degree range. I guess I'll see...

Astromis,
I can't believe this, I completely messed up, its 60 second to a minute, 60 minutes to a degree, and 30 degrees to a sign. Above I only counted to 30 minutes (thats what I get for rushing) lets start over
02 seconds to get to 5 minutes (60-58 is 02)
55 (not 25) to get to 9 degrees (60-05 is 55)
21 degrees to get to Aries
11 degrees 28 minutes 35 seconds to get to Mars
21 55 02
plus 11 28 35
this equals 32 83 35 but in the minute column any thing over 60 will be a degree so 83 - 60 is 23 minutes plus 1 degree
21 55 02
11 28 33
01 00 00 this equals 33 23 35
you had it the first time, you just forgot to add 1 from the minute column to the degree column (anything over 60) You are such a natural at this, lets try the distance between Saturn and your Sun. If you've got that then you've got it down perfect. I'm going to leave the above mistake in for another day and then fix it so that others won't get confused.
Good work astromis

Oceanic Dreams,
Pretty close but if you add 17 36 30 (your calculations to get out of libra to your Libra Sun at 06 43 24 You'll only come up with 24 19 54 and we know there is 30 degrees so lets start from the beginning
Sun - 06 43 24 its 36 seconds to get to 44 minutes (60-24 is 36)
16 minutes to get to 7 degrees (60-44 is 16)
23 degrees to get to Scorpio
30 degrees to Sag
30 degrees to Cap
30 degrees to Aquarius
07 08 35 to get to Jupiter ok now simplify it

23 16 36 (to Scorpio)
90 00 00 (scorpio-aquarius)
07 08 35 (to Jupiter) this equals
120 degrees 24 minutes 71 seconds and we must rectify the 71 seconds (71-60 equals 11 plus 1 more minute so it ends up
120 degrees 25 minutes and 11 seconds
Now give me the distance between Saturn and Neptune.

I am rereading these and I'm confusing myself, so I can imagine what it looks like to everyone, but bear with me and we'll get it.

you won't believe what i did wrong lal! i added 90 for sag and cappy instead of adding 60!
and i noticed something...in your first post,using your example,you said it takes 45 mins and 14 seconds to get to 26 degree taurus.
shouldn't it be 24 seconds if you're subtracting 36 from 60?lemme know if i'm right or wrong ok?

here,i did a few more for practice:
my sun: 8deg,24'27'' aqua
my moon: 25deg,29'46'' sag
it takes 14 sec to get to 30 mins,30 mins to get to 26 deg,and 4 deg to get out of sag,so: 4deg,30'14''
add to that 30 deg for cappy and the 8deg,24'27'' of my aqua sun,i get the distance between them to be:42deg,54'41'',which is not quite a sextile aspect,cuz it's out of the allowable orb.
now,
my neptune:0deg,19'47'' cappy
my pluto:2deg,7'33'' scorp
it takes 27sec to get to 8 mins,52mins to get to 3deg and 27 deg to get out of scorp,so: 27deg,52'27''
add to that 30 for sag and the 0deg,19'47'' of my cappy neptune,i get the distance between them to be: 58deg,12'04'',which is a sextile aspect since it is within the allowable orb
and another one:
my saturn:15deg,47'5'' scorp
my uranus:12deg,31'10''sag
it takes 55sec to get to 48 mins,12 mins to get to 16 deg and 14deg to get out of scorp.adding to that the 12deg,31'10'' sag of my uranus,i get the distance between them to be:26deg,43'05'',which could be a tridecile aspect except that it is off my more than two degrees.

i'm pretty sure i got it right this time...but i'd like prof lal to confirm it for me

incidentally lal,i've forgotten the allowable orbs for the aspects and can't find the link where it was posted,do you think you could post it here?
thanks...

love n peace,
-Gooober

Astromis, you're math is perfect, you've got this down pat

Goober, you understand the concept, you're math is off by 1. I did make a mistake above, where I only counted to 30 in the minute column instead of 60.
The distance between your Saturn and Uranus is 26 44 05 just look at it, in the seconds column if you add 55 seconds to 10 seconds it equals 1 minute 05 seconds 10 plus 55 is 65 and 65-60 is 05 (you forgot to carry the minute.) But you've got it. Another thing to aspect is the Midhaven (M.C) How about giving me another example. You're doing good work!

I'm so confused...I can't even get started. Looking at the first example, if there are only 60 seconds to a minute, and your sun is at 25 degrees, 14 minutes, 36 seconds taurus, wouldn't you need 46 minutes and 24 seconds to get 5 degrees out of Taurus? I don't understand the rounding down to 26 degrees, and I just wanted to make sure it's 60 seconds to a minute.

Haha despite my confusion, I still tried to do this but my math isn't all that good...anyway!

I wanted to figure out the distance between my Moon and my Sun
My Moon is at 24 degrees 20 mins 00 sec Taurus
My Sun is at 15 degrees 02 mins and 09 sec

To get 6 degrees out of Taurus, the moon takes 40 minutes and 60 seconds.
30 degrees Gemini
30 degrees Cancer
30 degrees Leo
16 degrees 02 mins 09 sec Virgo (to Sun)

6 degrees 40 mins 60 sec (finish Taur)
90 (Gem-Leo)
+16 degrees 02 min 09 sec

equals
112 degrees 43 mins and 09 secs

Haha somewhere it just feels like I screwed up my math, as my Sun and Moon trine.

VTT
Moon is 24 20' 00" Taures, You don't have any seconds to get out of so you go strait to the minutes

20 minutes so you need 40 minutes (60 minutes total) to get to 25 degrees (remember your adding)

5 degrees to get to Gemini
So 5 degrees 40 minutes total to get to Gemini

30 to get to Cancer
30 to get to Leo
30 to get to Virgo
15 02' 09" to get to the Sun

05 degrees 40' 00" (To Gemini)
90 degrees 00'00" (Cancer-Virgo)
15 degrees 02'09" (to the Sun)
110 degrees 42'09" distance between the two

Try again

lal,you won't believe the silly mistake i made again...i did take an extra min,but forgot to add it i'm just not good at hand calculations...i love my calculator

i'll do a quick calculation between my sun and MC,yeah?this is using the equal house system through astro.com...

MC:0deg27'29'' cappy
sun:8deg24'27'' aqua
it takes 31 sec to get to 28 mins,and 32 mins to get to 1 deg cappy,and then 29 deg to get out of cappy.adding the 8deg24'27''aqua of my sun, the distance between them is:38deg06'58''

------------------
the rain goes pitter patter,pitter patter..

sun gemini 7 degrees 30' 55" to moon capricorn 8 degrees 1'06":
22 degrees 29' n 5" to get to cancer.
+cancer to capricorn 180 degrees.
+8degrees 1'06" to the moon.
total=210 degrees 30' 11".

n the other way from moon to sun would be
21 degrees 58'54" n 120 degrees upto taurus n 7 degrees 30'55" to the sun.
total 149 degrees 30'49".can i count this as inconjunct?

is that right?help linda...

Sana,

For starters, you take the shortest distance between your planets which would be from the Moon at 8 degrees 01' 06" to your Sun at 7 degrees 30' 55"
The aspect will never be more than 180 degrees
54 seconds to get to 2 min. (60-06 is 54)
58 minutes to get to 9 degrees (60-02 is 58)
21 degrees to get to Aquarius
120 degrees Aquarius-Taures
7 degrees 30' 55" to Your Sun equals
149 degrees 49' 49" and very close inconjunct its off by 10' 11"

You're doing Great!

I got it! FINALLY!! lala with the way you wrote out how you did it, I figured it out and understood it on my own!!

So here's the next one I did:
Sun is at 16 degrees 02 mins 09 sec Virgo
Mars is at 22 degrees 36 mins 19 Scorpio

16 deg 02 min 09 sec Virgo
I need 51 sec to get to 16 deg 03 mins
I need 57 mins to get to 17 deg
I need 13 deg to get to Libra

so 13 deg 57 mins 51 sec total to get to Libra

30 to get to Scorpio
22 deg 36 min 19 sec to get to Mars

13 deg 57'51" (to Libra)
30 deg 00'00" (to Scorpio)
22 deg 36'19" (to Mars)
66 deg 34'10" Sun/Mars (sextile with a 6 deg 34'10" orb)

Moon Cancer 6^ 27’ 49”, Sun Libra 16^ 25’ 52”
Moon - + 11 secs = 6^28
30 – 28 = 2 2 minutes to get to 7^
23^ to Leo
+ 30^ to Virgo
+ 30^ to Libra
+ 16^ 25’ 52” to Sun
23 2 11 to Leo 60 (Leo + Virgo) 16 25 52 to Sun
11+52 =63 = 1min 3 secs
99 28 3

How am I doing???
