The five major aspects
Conjunctions merge, sextiles offer cooperation, squares create friction, trines flow easily, and oppositions ask for balance across a polarity.
What an orb means
An aspect rarely needs to be mathematically exact. Its orb is the distance from exactness: a 92° separation is a square with a 2° orb. Smaller orbs are generally treated as more concentrated.
No aspect is simply good or bad
Ease can be underused and tension can develop strength. Context matters: involved planets, signs, houses, exactness, and the rest of the chart all modify an aspect.
