So, when you are looking for aspects, the planets between BOTH parties can be out of sign can't they?

For example, using degrees, when comparing both Mercury planets of each person: Libra 28 degrees compared to Aries 4 degrees.

It is not tight enough to be an opposition through orbs. So since this is within 6 degrees, would that not be considered a Trine? Or is it one of the more minor aspects?

I don't understand the question, Friend and Welcome

Orbs go by degrees and CAN be out of sign. I think it weakens it some but am not sure on this.

Does that answer your question?

Thank You!

I'm sorry, I had no clue how to word it. The aspect above... If you give it the Orb allowance for the Trine, is it considered a Trine? Since both signs are practically on the Cusps. This is using a 6 degree allowance, of course. And I do know not everyone does that.

I'm just thinking that since it's not an Opposition aspect, what would it be considered?

Yes, degrees make the aspect not signs!

Using your example, the closest would be the quincunx which is 150 degrees, but an orb of 6 degrees would be too wide for such a minor aspect. Using the grid at the bottom of the chart can help you with the aspects.

Thanks you guys (=.

Yeah, that definitely makes sense. I guess I was looking at it as "oh well the degrees in Libra are so close to Scorpio, and the degrees in Aries are so close to Pisces". But you can't really just go both ways with the degree allowances can you? My mistake. =p

I have trouble counting between signs >.<. I'm still trying to figure out the best way for me to see it visually lol.
