Aspects
Celestial bodies consistently produce angles to each other. Certain angles are additional crucial than others. In astrology, these special angles are called alignments.
If two celestial bodies are directly opposite from each other, it signifies they’re...
...opposites.
A conjunction is at the moment two celestial bodies appear to be on top of each other.
(They aren't actually – they simply look like they are from the perspective of Terrestrial sphere.)
At the moment this happens, the vibe of the two celestial bodies unites and blends.
For example:
GEMINI MARS
"I take action in a curious, chaotic, witty method."
GEMINI Solar body
"I am fundamentally curious, chaotic, witty."
The individual that you are is fused with the method you take action – for better and for worse.
At the moment two celestial bodies are 120° apart, they form a trine.
Celestial bodies in trine like each other and get along.
At the moment two celestial bodies are at two corners of a square, they are said to produce a Square to each other.
Celestial bodies don’t like each other at the moment they’re square; it’s an alignment that brings friction and discomfort.
