ts are:
- the planets are separated by six zodia (or 180 degrees)
- the planets share the same polarity and modality
- this aspect represents the Platonic form of the line
- the planets are separated by four zodia (or 120 degrees)
- the planets share the same element
- this aspect represents the Platonic form of the triangle
- the planets are separated by three zodia (or 90 degrees)
- the planets share the same modality, but have different elements
- this aspect represents the Platonic form of the square
- the planets are separated by two zodia (or 60 degrees)
- the planets share the same polarity, but have different elements and modalities
- this aspect represents the Platonic form of the hexagon
- not an "aspect" as such in Hellenic Astrology, but rather a sharing of the same Zodion by two or more planets.
- this aspect represents the Platonic form of the point
The planets within the shared zodion may work together so well and with such a common mind that they combine their energies. Because the two planets (like the two Gods that represent them) are united in their goal and motivation - differing only in their personalities - they can become intimately connected. The closer that the two planets are to each other (based upon the number of degrees between them) added to whether or not they are applying (moving closer to each other) or separating (moving apart from each other), can cause the two planets to actually fuse into one force within the chart. This is especially important because even when the two planets separate later, they will still be acting in one force - just in two different places in the chart. (For example, consider an individual who has Venus and Neptune in the same zodia at birth... for their entire life, where ever Venus or Neptune are in their chart, it will act as Venus+Neptune. This means that they will often be feeling the influence of Venus+Neptune in two different topoi! In a future post, I will discuss polarity, the elements, and modalities - which will help to illustrate the different dynamics that each aspect will produce within a chart.
* - What? What the heck is this "Ophiuchus" you speak of? Well, that is what my next entry will be about... the 13th sign of the zodiac that you've prolly never even heard of!
'Till next time...
Peace, Blessings, and may you and yours be in Harmony with the Skies!
