How two planets get along, or do not.
AspectsSun square Moon puts the two 90 degrees apart. Sun governs identity and purpose, Moon governs feelings, needs and home, and the pairing is about who you are against what you need, which is the oldest tension in a chart and the one that decides how at ease somebody is with themselves. Here is what the angle does to it.
AspectsMars quincunx Saturn puts the two 150 degrees apart. Mars governs drive, anger and desire, Saturn governs limits, work and maturity, and the pairing is about the accelerator and the brake, used at the same time, which is exhausting until it becomes stamina. Here is what the angle does to it.
AspectsMars sextile Saturn puts the two 60 degrees apart. Mars governs drive, anger and desire, Saturn governs limits, work and maturity, and the pairing is about the accelerator and the brake, used at the same time, which is exhausting until it becomes stamina. Here is what the angle does to it.
AspectsMercury sextile Venus puts the two 60 degrees apart. Mercury governs thinking, speaking and learning, Venus governs love, beauty, money and worth, and the pairing is about how you think and what you find attractive, a pairing about charm, taste and the ability to make an argument sound pleasant. Here is what the angle does to it.
AspectsSun trine Moon puts the two 120 degrees apart. Sun governs identity and purpose, Moon governs feelings, needs and home, and the pairing is about who you are against what you need, which is the oldest tension in a chart and the one that decides how at ease somebody is with themselves. Here is what the angle does to it.
AspectsSun sextile Jupiter puts the two 60 degrees apart. Sun governs identity and purpose, Jupiter governs growth, luck and belief, and the pairing is about who you are and how much of it there is, a pairing about confidence and about where it tips into too much. Here is what the angle does to it.
AspectsVenus square Mars puts the two 90 degrees apart. Venus governs love, beauty, money and worth, Mars governs drive, anger and desire, and the pairing is about attraction and pursuit, the classic pairing for how somebody does desire. Here is what the angle does to it.
AspectsMercury square Mars puts the two 90 degrees apart. Mercury governs thinking, speaking and learning, Mars governs drive, anger and desire, and the pairing is about thinking and acting, and specifically how fast the gap between them closes. Here is what the angle does to it.
AspectsMoon square Jupiter puts the two 90 degrees apart. Moon governs feelings, needs and home, Jupiter governs growth, luck and belief, and the pairing is about feeling at scale, which is generosity when it goes well and emotional overspending when it does not. Here is what the angle does to it.
AspectsMercury conjunction Saturn puts the two 0 degrees apart. Mercury governs thinking, speaking and learning, Saturn governs limits, work and maturity, and the pairing is about thought under discipline, which is slow, accurate and prone to assuming it is wrong. Here is what the angle does to it.

AspectsMars sextile Jupiter puts the two 60 degrees apart. Mars governs drive, anger and desire, Jupiter governs growth, luck and belief, and the pairing is about drive at scale, which is either enormous productive energy or a person who keeps starting things of a size they cannot finish. Here is what the angle does to it.
AspectsSun opposition Mars puts the two 180 degrees apart. Sun governs identity and purpose, Mars governs drive, anger and desire, and the pairing is about identity and drive, which is the engine of a chart and the source of most of its energy or most of its frustration. Here is what the angle does to it.
AspectsVenus trine Jupiter puts the two 120 degrees apart. Venus governs love, beauty, money and worth, Jupiter governs growth, luck and belief, and the pairing is about pleasure and more of it, the most indulgent pairing in the chart and often the luckiest. Here is what the angle does to it.
AspectsMoon opposition Jupiter puts the two 180 degrees apart. Moon governs feelings, needs and home, Jupiter governs growth, luck and belief, and the pairing is about feeling at scale, which is generosity when it goes well and emotional overspending when it does not.

Moon governs feelings, needs and home, Saturn governs limits, work and maturity, and the pairing is about needing something and not expecting to get it, which is the single most quietly consequential aspect in a chart. Here is what the angle does to it.
AspectsJupiter trine Saturn puts the two 120 degrees apart. Jupiter governs growth, luck and belief, Saturn governs limits, work and maturity, and the pairing is about expansion and limit, the two social planets arguing about how much is sensible, which is also the cycle that governs economies. Here is what the angle does to it.
AspectsMars square Jupiter puts the two 90 degrees apart. Mars governs drive, anger and desire, Jupiter governs growth, luck and belief, and the pairing is about drive at scale, which is either enormous productive energy or a person who keeps starting things of a size they cannot finish. Here is what the angle does to it.
AspectsMoon square Mercury puts the two 90 degrees apart. Moon governs feelings, needs and home, Mercury governs thinking, speaking and learning, and the pairing is about feeling and articulation, which is to say whether you can say what is actually going on. Here is what the angle does to it.
AspectsSun sextile Mars puts the two 60 degrees apart. Sun governs identity and purpose, Mars governs drive, anger and desire, and the pairing is about identity and drive, which is the engine of a chart and the source of most of its energy or most of its frustration.
