In episode 323, astrologers Chris Brennan and Claire Moon discuss the five key aspects of astrology and explain what they mean in your birth chart.
Aspects are geometric configurations that represent various types of relationships between planets and are the primary means by which planets interact with each other in a chart.
The five cardinal aspects, sometimes called Ptolemaic aspects, are conjunction, opposition, trine, square, and sextile.
During the episode, we will delve into the subject of aspects and then understand what each of them symbolically means.
