aspect to both of them.
2. This aspect
is a tense and dynamic pattern.

ones.

when three planets are in trine to one another forming a triangle on the
chart.

for granted that it is there.

stressful configuration. It is said

Aspects of
Astrology
I. Additional
interpretations of Astrology?
A. Chart
types
1. Splash
Pattern – Planets are spread throughout the chart. These people are varied in interest but
may be superficial and inconsistent.
2. The Bundle
– Here the planets are very close together. These people do well as specialist and
find variety within the confines of that subject.
3. The
Locomotive - Planets are lined on 2/3rds of the chart with a clear planet as
leader. These people have a fund of
energy at their disposal, as it is required.
4. The Bowl –
Planets occupy one half of the chart.
Subjects are self-contained and scoop up experience; the houses in which
the planets are located are especially relevant.
5. The Bucket
- 9 planets are in one half of the chart, the 10th is in the other
half, making an anchorage. Usually
achievement is more important than the end product.
6. The See-Saw
– The planets are in two groups on opposite sides of the chart. Subjects will weigh every possibility
before coming to decision.
7. Splay –
Planets are spread all over the chart but in very uneven groups. These people are individualist,
disliking routine or discipline.
B. Oriental
Appearance – This is the planet that rises before the sun in the chart. This gives us insight into additional
psychological or motivational needs of an individual.
C. Part of
Fortune – Is a point in the chart where we find enjoyment and
success.
D. House
Rulers – Each house has a sign with a ruling planet. There is a method of further delineation
of the horoscope based on what other house the ruling planet is
in.
E. Final
Signatures – This is based on the qualities and elements of the chart. By
determining the most common type of element and most common type of quality,
thus another important factor in delineation of the horoscope.
F. Unaspected
Planets – The planet that is unaspected works doubly hard to integrate into the
chart. Major emphasis in
delineation is stressed in getting the planet to balance.
G. Retrograde
Planets – This is a planet with a R marked next to the degree in your
chart. They appear to be going
backwards at the time the chart is set for. These planets may take a little longer
in our life to show the emphasis in our lives. Sometimes this planet is less
obvious.
H. Intercepted
Signs – This is when a sign is completely contained in a house. These signs are in restraint in that
house, the person needs to learn to apply that sign.
I. Intercepted
Houses - This is when two sets of houses are linked together because they have
the same sign. The affairs ruled by
these two houses tend to blend and intermingle.
J. Mutual
Reception is a term used when two planets are in each others sign of dignity or
ruler ship. For example if Venus is
in Aries, and Mars is in Taurus.
This is considered a very beneficial and harmonious relationship for the
two planets.
K. High Focus
Planet –a planet that makes more aspects than any other planet. Again this is vital to understand that
because of all the aspect makes it a high focus planet.
L. Final
Dispositor -This is when only one planet is in its sign of dignity and not
mutual reception. This planet
becomes very important in the persons chart.
M. Arabian
Parts – Old Arabic method of A+B-C= a point in the chart. For example Mars + Venus – Jupiter = a
sensitive point in the horoscope on the subconscious
level.
N. Midpoints –
This is when the midpoint degree of two planets conjuncts with another planet,
there is specific and detail meaning.
Very interesting study.
O. Fixed Stars
– Very old method of delineation of the horoscope using fixed stars and the
conjunction with a planet. These
aspects are credited with special influences of their own. These delineations can be somewhat dire,
but must remember that it just means one is prone to possibility with these
delineations.
