Lecture 135. Orbis.
General theory of aspects. Part 2. ORBIS

As we have already said in the previous article, initially, the Planetary orbs familiar to us were absent. There was simply no need for them - since aspects were considered not between the Planets, but between the Signs, then what kind of orbis could we talk about? Any Planet in Aries is squared to any Planet in Cancer, that's the whole orb.

Subsequently, aspects in the full-sign system (as described in the previous lecture) were replaced by aspects between the Planets, as a result of which the question arose whether the distance between the Planets of 123 degrees should be considered an aspect of a trine? Or a sextile at 58, etc. (Earlier this question did not arise, since any Planet in any degree of Aries was considered in the aspect of a trine with any Planet in any degree of Leo, or Sagittarius, etc.).

Thus, the concept of “orbis” was introduced into astrological practice. An orb (or orb) is the allowable deviation from an exact aspect.

The history of calculating orbis also underwent changes. In the Middle Ages, it was customary to count orbs depending on the Planets that make up the aspect. Those. The Sun - no matter in which aspect it participates, has an orb of 15 (some authors up to 18) degrees, the Moon 12, etc.

The orbis was set depending on the glow of the Planet (the brighter it shines, the larger the orbis), and was metaphorically compared to hands. So the Sun has two arms, with a total length of 15 (on average) units (degrees). The moon has two arms, 12 units long. Therefore, the length of one arm of the Sun is 7.5 units (degrees), the length of the arm of the Moon is 6 degrees.
It turns out that if the Sun and the Moon pass at a distance of “aspect + 13.5 degrees” from each other (for example, the Moon at 0 degrees Aries, the Sun at 12 degrees Leo) - they reach each other with their hands, and therefore, create an aspect ( the length of the arm of the Sun + the length of the arm of the Moon - 7.5 + 6 \u003d 13.5 is the orbis being at a distance from which the aspect can be taken into account).

Today, this practice is used mainly in horary astrology and the traditional direction. Although I must say that in my opinion, it is the most reasoned, as it is tied to the physical properties of objects.
Personally, I have been working with this system and such wide horary orbs for several years in a row and am very pleased with the result I get.

However, at the moment, the practice of calculating orbs based on the ASPECT and the PLANETs that form it is widely used.
We talked about the strength of aspects - so the connection is considered the strongest, and the sextile is the weakest of all major aspects. According to the same scheme, it is believed that the connection has the largest orbs, slightly smaller (or more often equal) orbis are assigned to the opposition, even less to the trine, then to the square and the smallest (of the major ones) to the sextile.
The Sun is the most important Planet in the chart, so the values ​​​​of its orbs are the highest, then the Moon, a little less, then personal Planets, then social ones (although Jupiter is often given orbs larger than those of personal Planets), and already the smallest ones for higher ones.
For example, a table of modern orbs, taking into account the Planet and the aspect that it forms, may look like this:
Obviously, the sun has the largest orb in the aspect of conjunction and opposition, and the smallest higher Planets in trine, sextile, and quadrature (I draw your attention - this is ONLY an EXAMPLE).

ONE, GENERALLY ACCEPTED ORBIS TABLE DOES NOT EXIST!!! The size of the orbs and the approach to this issue is considered an individual matter of a particular astrologer.
There is an opinion that the use of "narrower" orbs gives better results. And some time ago, I also thought so, however, then I began to notice that I was clearly losing some very important points in consideration, I expanded the orbis, began to use the orbis only for the Planets (without changing the orbis depending on the aspect) and have not yet never regretted the decision.
If you are a novice astrologer, I recommend using the standard software set, as a result, your practice will show which way to move.

An aspect with an orb within 1 degree (for major aspects) is usually called exact. If at the same time the Planets included in the aspect have the same ordinal number of the degree, such an aspect is called partile.
Example: - Moon 12 gr, 30 min. 20 sec. Aries, Mars at 13 gr. 10 minutes 20 seconds. lion
between the Planets 120 gr, 40 minutes is the exact aspect of the trine (orbis within 1 degree).
Moon 12 gr. 30 minutes, 20 sec. Aries, Mars 12 gr. 56 minutes 40 sec. Leo - between the Planets 120 gr., 26 min., 20 sec. But at the same time, both the Moon and Mars occupy the same serial number of the Sign - 12 gr - an aspect of a partile trine.

It is believed that precise, and even more so party aspects, act stronger and brighter than aspects with an orb.
In fact, at this moment, for many astrologers, this is a tribute to tradition - “it is said in a smart book that he is the strongest, so it is!”.
In my opinion, it makes sense to understand why exact aspects turn out to be stronger than inexact ones, if we take into account both.
In natal practice, there are large orbs between the Planets in the chart, in forecasts - the orbs rarely exceed one degree in both directions.
Imagine that in your chart there is a Moon-Pluto square. Moon 14.gr Capricorn, Pluto 20 gr. Libra. There are 6 degrees between them, and if your preferred orbs allow, then there is a square between them.
Now let's imagine that in a dynamic chart - for example, in a transit - Uranus is moving in Aries (as it is now). Having reached 13 degrees of Aries, he stands in a square to the Moon with an orb of 1 degree. It moves forward for some time, then turns into a retrograde, then again direct, then retrograde, and so, several times, periodically entering the orb of the quadrature with the Moon.
It is obvious that a person at this moment will not be going through the easiest times in a psychological sense. At some point, having passed the Moon for the last time, Uranus will move farther and farther away from the square with the Moon.
And having passed to 19 degrees of Aries, he will make an opposition to Pluto with an orb of 1 degree. And it will also “walk” on Pluto for some time, causing characteristic circumstances or experiences.
NOOOOOOO!!! Uranus - Moon - this will be one "fairy tale", and Uranus - Pluto - another! It is possible that Uranus will pull their strings in turn - moving away from the Moon - meeting with Pluto, moving away from Pluto - meeting with the Moon and again moving away from it, go to Pluto. But be that as it may, they will be different stories.
Now imagine that the Moon is at 14 degrees Capricorn and Pluto is at 14 degrees Libra. In this case, Uranus will aspect them simultaneously, creating not only tension on its theme, but "turning on" the square of the natal Planets themselves! And this is a completely different story! Much more rigid than in the first case.
In this case, they say, "Uranus has completed the quadrature between the Moon and Pluto to the Tau-square" - and this is a completely different glow. Or completely different possibilities, if we are talking about the harmonious connection of the Planets in natal and dynamic methods.
In directions where the Planets move only directly, passing 1 degree in one year, Uranus aspects the Moon at 14 degrees and Pluto at 20 degrees with time intervals of 3.5 years! That is, the Moon will already forget about the Uranian period, when Uranus will approach the opposition with Pluto.
I believe it is this circumstance that makes the exact aspect so important in the natal chart.
As for the boundaries of the orbis, as the esteemed Yuri Yuryevich Oleshko says - “the orbis are not carved on granite”, the no less respected William Lilly said that he takes into account the orbis by memory, which he now remembered, he took into account. It is important to remember that the meaning of the aspects is to indicate the interaction of the Planets that received similar or irreconcilable qualities from the Sign into which they fell.
By the way, I also have slightly different orbis set in different programs, and now that I know the rationale for the theory of aspects / orbis, this does not bother me or misinform me at all.

Many modern astrologers, however, are much more zealous about the limits of orbs than I am. But even they tend to increase the maximum allowable limits of the orb, if, with a slight increase in the orb, the Planets in aspect will create a closed configuration.
Quite often, the orbs for the Planets in the stellium increase. So, for example, with an orb for conjunction: for Mercury 8 gr, for Mars 6, for Neptune 4. All three Planets are in Scorpio, where Mercury is 3 degrees of Scorpio, Mars is 8 degrees, and Neptune is 12. If we strictly apply the orb value as a constant, it turns out that Mercury is in the orbit of conjunction with Mars, and Mars is in the orbit of conjunction with Neptune, but at the same time Mercury and Neptune are not in the orbit - there are 9 degrees between them.
In practice, in such a situation, astrologers increase the orb, and get a stellium (multiple conjunction) between Mercury, Mars and Neptune.

Aspects across the border of Signs
The situation is somewhat more complicated in the case when the Planets are in an orb, but at the same time, and Signs that do not support the corresponding aspect - the so-called aspects across the border of Signs.
Example - Mars in 3 gr. Aries, Mercury in 29 gr. Pisces - the aspect of the connection (4 gr.) through the border of Signs. Mars at 3 degrees Aries, Jupiter at 28 degrees. Cancer - an aspect of the trine across the border of Signs (distance 115 gr.)
Count or not? After all, if you use such a harmonious theory of the interaction of the Signs, and not the Planets, Mercury and Mars “do not see” each other. And the trine of Mars and Jupiter is formed from Signs standing at a distance of a square from each other!
What to do?
Once upon a time, I refused to take into account aspects across the boundary of Signs. But she refused not because they “didn’t work” or described the situation poorly, but because it was “not right”, and I must say, I am a big fan of “doing the right thing”.
Moreover, at that moment I increased the boundaries of the orbs, adopting them from horary astrology, removed the dependence of the orb limits on the aspect that is formed between the Planets, in general, I began to do it “correctly”.
However, my practice, which responded with pleasure to the increase in the orb and its dependence only on the Planets, began to SIGNIFICANTLY suffer from the fact that aspects across the border of Signs fell out of consideration! As a result, it was decided to return the latter, and take them into account as I have always taken into account, and at the moment I have never regretted it.
The only thing worth adding here is, of course, I significantly reduced their orbis. I can’t tell you what he became, I just don’t even know. I just look at the Planets in aspect and make a conclusion based on what kind of Planets they are, how far they are both from the cusps, how strong they are in Signs, the aspect develops or falls apart, etc. I understand that with this remark I did not make life much easier for novice astrologers, but ... there are simply no universal, ready-made recipes suitable for use anywhere and everywhere in Astrology (yes, as in other areas of life).

From the Latin orbis - "orbit, sphere of action."
The angular distance from the exact value of the arc aspect , within which the effect of the aspect remains perceptible.
The term "orb" has a second meaning. When talking about a specific aspect in a specific horoscope, then by an orb they mean a real deviation from the exact value of the aspect (and not the maximum deviation, as in the general case).
A number of astrologers understand the orb in a slightly different sense: as an interval within which the aspect operates. So, if the trine is considered valid at a distance between the planets of 115°-125°, then the orb trine is considered equal to 10°. Astrologers who adhere to this understanding of the word "orb" use the term " semi-orbis" (half-orb, eng. moiety) to denote the maximum deviation from the exact aspect (in one direction). Thus, the meaning of the terms "half-orbis" and "orb" in the first sense are the same.
Most often it is believed that the smaller the deviation of an aspect from the exact value, the stronger this aspect acts (see Exact aspect, Broad aspect). However, in some astrological systems (for example, in the concept of Kabbalistic astrology by A. Podvodny), the aspect is considered to be valid with equal force throughout the orb. In other systems, however, it is noted that often an aspect appears only when it is already disintegrating (this is especially important in transits and other forecasting methods). Finally, there are those astrologers who, on the contrary, point out that the aspect is most noticeable some time before it becomes completely accurate, and when the exact aspect begins to disintegrate, its strength decreases sharply.
The question of which orbs give the most adequate results is one of the most controversial in Western astrology. In general, those astrologers who take into account a large number of sensitive points of a horoscope and / or use a large number of different aspects believe that orbs should be as accurate as possible (usually within 1-2 degrees). On the contrary, astrologers who take into account a small set of planets and / or aspects use fairly wide O. - sometimes up to 8-10 °.
There are quite a few complex systems of orbs. First, it is generally believed that the faster the planet, the larger the orb it has in aspect. So, for the Moon, many astrologers take an orb of conjunction at 8 °, while the orb of higher planets in conjunction may not exceed 3 °.
Secondly, there is no unity among astrologers as to which planet entering into aspect to determine the orb in each specific case. For example, in the case of the conjunction of the Moon with Pluto, should an orb of 8° (as an aspect of the Moon), 3° (as an aspect of Pluto) or 5.5° (as the arithmetic mean of the orb of the Moon and the orb of Pluto) be given?
Thirdly, the orb depends not only on the planets entering the aspect, but also on the aspect itself. The connection is usually given maximum O., a little less - to other major aspects, and significantly less - to minor aspects.
Fourthly, many astrologers point out that if a given aspect is included in the configuration of aspects, its orb can be increased.
Fifth, some believe that the orb changes depending on the position of the planets in signs and houses. For example, planets in an angular house have a larger orb than planets in a falling house. Or a planet in fall has a smaller orb than in its own abode. Often the orb of an aspect is increased if the planets that form this aspect are in mutual reception.
Sixth, a number of astrologers claim that converging aspects have a larger orb than divergent aspects.
Seventh, the issue of orbs in synastric charts (see Synastry) of two people has not been unambiguously resolved. Some astrologers (for example, A. Podvodny) argue that synastric orbs are noticeably smaller than natal ones; other astrologers (for example, P. Globa), on the contrary, believe that the orbs are wider in the synastry than in natal astrology; finally, others use practically the same orbs in the radix and in the synastric horoscope.
Eighth, some astrologers believe that different systems of orbs can operate in the horoscopes of different people. For example, A. Podvodny believes that as a person develops spiritually, his sensitivity to more and more new aspects increases, while the orb of aspects taken into account at a lower level of development decreases.
Ninth, some authors note that certain planets "resonate" with certain aspects, and in these cases the orb increases. For example, quadrature in its action is similar to the influence of Saturn, and therefore the orb of Saturn in quadratures will be larger than, say, the orb of Jupiter.
And there are a lot of similar nuances that affect orb systems. We add that all of the above points relate primarily to individual astrology, while in mundane astrology, horary astrology, various predictive methods, there are also other, additional problems with the definition of orbs.
The question of the orbs of the secondary factors of the horoscope - the nodes of the planets, asteroids, lots, fixed stars, etc. is also being debated. Usually, very narrow orbs are taken for such points - no more than 1 °.
Thus, there is no single standard of orbs in astrology, and each astrologer in his work relies primarily on his own experience in this matter. Here are some options for orb systems.
According to Biruni, the planets have the following orbs:

The size of the orbis depends on the strength of the aspect. The stronger the aspect, the larger its orbis. The weaker the aspect, the smaller the orbis. Thus, the size of the orbis is an indicator of the strength of the aspect.

For astrological work, I use the orb table, which I developed for myself, based on these rules. To do this, I first had to deal with the strength of each aspect in relation to all the others, and then, based on this, I compiled my own table of orbis.

I will say right away: it is not much different from those orbs used by other astrologers. But on the other hand, my orb value is justified not by the fact that everyone does this, but by the fact that the orb value increases or decreases along with the strength of the aspect. Using this table, you can increase or decrease orbs - but at the same time, by increasing one orbis, you will have to increase all the others, and by reducing one of them, you will also have to reduce all other orbs of aspects.

This is convenient because such a table, firstly, will not allow the orbis to be increased to infinity. Secondly, it will not allow you to increase or decrease the orbis of one aspect in isolation from all other orbis. In the table, all aspects and their orbis depend on each other. Thirdly, I take the size of the orbis to the maximum. But I can reduce, for example, 2 times. True, for this it is necessary to reduce the size of the orbs for all aspects at once. Because aspects are a rather flexible system in which one aspect is considered not by itself (as we usually do), but in relation to all other aspects.

It is difficult for a beginner astrologer to understand the meanings of aspects because there are many of them, and each of them has its own meaning. Studying from the handbook, it is impossible to understand how all these aspects are similar, and how they differ from each other.

There are 20 aspects in total + connections + receptions. It seems to a beginner that all of them need to be memorized, because he cannot independently find the common qualities of these 20 aspects and combine them into groups. In the meantime, this work has already been done. But we will talk specifically about the classification of aspects by types and groups later, and now we will talk about how the orbis of an aspect depends on its strength.

To begin this work, let's take the main rule: one aspect, together with its orbis, should not enter the territory of another aspect, along with its orbis. This rule already initially limits the number of degrees that can be added to a particular aspect.

In general, all aspects can be placed incrementally in the following table:
Connection 0*.
Half run 20*.
Semiseptile 25.7*.
Semi-sextile 30*.
Decile 36*.
Nonagon 40*.
Semi-square 45*.
Septile 51.4*.
Sextile 60*.
Quintile 72*.
Semiraseptile 77.1*.
Binonagon 80*.
Square 90*.
Centagon 100*.
Tridecyl 108*.
Trigon 120*.
One and a half square 135 *.
Biquintile 144*.
Quickons 150*.
Triseptile 154.3*.
Opposition 180*.

The strength of the aspects can be divided according to the groups they belong to.

All groups of aspects can be divided into everyday and phenomenal aspects. Everyday aspects work for everyone, and phenomenal ones - only for developed people. Therefore, everyday aspects are stronger than phenomenal ones.

In total there are three groups of everyday aspects: connections, harmonious and tense aspects.

Conjunctions are stronger than tense and phenomenal aspects, so they have a larger orb. I give them an orb of 9* planets and 6* fictitious points and house cusps. Within this group, the strength and quality of connections depend on many factors (the house, the sign of the Zodiac and the properties of the planets in conjunction), from which the orb value of the connections can sometimes change, but in any case it cannot be less than the largest orb for all the others. household aspects.

Aspects of a harmonious and tense group mutually balance each other. This is their feature. Therefore, the strength of a tense and harmonious group is equal to each other. Within each group, the strength of aspects is also graded depending on the type of aspects. Because harmonious and tense aspects are equal to each other, then aspects of the same type in each of these groups will have an equal orbis. I give them the following orbs: opposition and trine 8*, square and sextile 7*, all others 3*.

Phenomenal aspects are weaker than everyday aspects. Therefore, the orbs of phenomenal aspects are less than orbs of mundane aspects, or equal to them. The only exception is the quintile; I give him an orbis 4 *, because among the phenomenal aspects, the quintile is the only major aspect.

The power of phenomenal aspects weakens from group to group.

The strongest among the phenomenal aspects will be those of the creative team. Inside it, I give orbis like this: quintile 4 *, tridecile and biquintile 3 *, decile 2 *. The orbis of only one of them exceeds the minimal orbis of aspects of the household group. The reason is that I give 3 * orbs to minor everyday aspects, and the quintile to the major creative aspect. (Major aspects mean strong, minor aspects mean weak). Consequently, the only major aspect among the phenomenal has the right to an orbis that exceeds the orbis of minor everyday aspects.

Second in strength among the phenomenal aspects will be the aspects of the karmic group. They are weaker than the creative aspects, and they are all minor aspects. Their orbis do not exceed the minimum orbis of creative aspects. Orbis of any karmic aspect 2*.

The weakest will be the fateful aspects. Because they are all weaker than the aspects of any other group, their orbis are always smaller than the smallest orbis of any other aspect. I give them an orbis of 0.9 *. I will tell you later about where he came from with me so strange.

Within each group (except connections) aspects are divided into 4 types. The strongest aspect is the aspect that formed the whole group in general, it is always opened first. This is a clear permanent aspect. It turns out if the circle of the Zodiac is divided by the number that formed its group.
360* : 2 = 180* opposition.
360* : 3 = 120* trine.
360* : 5 = 72* quintile.
360*: 9 = 40* nonagon.
360*: 7 = 51.4* septile.

Second in strength within each group is the explicit temporal aspect. These are: square, sextile, tridecile, centagon, one and a half timeseptile.

The third strongest within each group is the permanent hidden aspect. These are: one and a half square, quincunx, biquintile, binonagon, triseptile.

The weakest in strength within each group is the hidden temporal aspect. This is a semi-square, semi-sextile, decile, semi-nonagon, semi-septile.

In accordance with the strength of the aspects by species within the group, the size of the orb increases or decreases. In initially weak groups (in fateful and karmic) all orbs have the same minimum aspect, which in this group is also maximum.

Now about how exactly I distributed the size of the orbis among the aspects.

To begin with, let's take the weakest aspects - the fateful ones - and set the maximum possible size of the orb for them.

Quintile 72*. Semiraseptile 77.1*. Binonagon 80*. The distance between the quintile and the sesquitile is 5.1*, the distance between the quintile and the binonagon is 2.9*.
The minimum orbis of karmic aspects is usually 2*. Thus, leaving these 2* for the orbis of binonagon, we get the orbis of the sesquiseptile 0.9*.
In terms of strength, the one and a half septile within its group is in second place. This means that the septile can be stronger than him, but all the other aspects from this group are no longer there. I give all fateful aspects an orbis of 0.9 *.

Half run 20*. Semiseptile 25.7*. Semi-sextile 30*. The distance between the half septile and the half surge is 5.7*. The distance between the semisextile and the semiseptile is 4.3*.
Semi-square 45*. Septile 51.4*. Sextile 60*. The distance between a semi-square and a septile is 6.4*, the distance between a septile and a sextile is 8.6*.
Quickons 150*. Triseptile 154.3*. Opposition 180*. The distance between the quincunx and the triseptile is 4.3*. The distance between the opposition and the triseptile is 25.7*.

All fateful aspects really fit into the 0.9* orb, while not entering the territory of the orb of neighboring aspects.
Now the same table can be made taking into account the received orbis of fateful aspects. In the same way, you can establish the orbis of karmic aspects, because. it also exactly fits into 2 *.

Here's what we got:

Connection 0*.

Semi-sextile 30*.
Decile 36*.
Semi-square 45*.
Sextile 60*.
Quintile 72*.

Square 90*.
Tridecyl 108*.
Trigon 120*.
One and a half square 135 *.
Biquintile 144*.
Quickons 150*.
Opposition 180*.

Having made this addition, we can arrange orbs for some other aspects. You yourself see that sometimes it is simply impossible to give others:
Connection 0*.
Half run 20*. Orbis 2*, distance from 18* to 22*.
Semiseptile 25.7*. Orbis 0.9*, distance from 25.8* to 26.6*.
Semi-sextile 30*.
Decile 36*. Orbis is possible only 2*, distance 34* - 38*.
Nonagon 40*. Orbis 2*, distance from 38* to 42*.
Semi-square 45*. Orbis is possible up to 3*, then the distance is 42* - 48*.
Septile 51.4*. Orbis 0.9*, distance from 50.5* to 52.3*.
Sextile 60*.
Quintile 72*. Orbis is possible up to 4*, then the distance is from 68* to 76*.
Semiraseptile 77.1*. Orbis 0.9*, distance from 76.2* to 78*.
Binonagon 80*. Orbis 2*, distance from 78* to 82*.
Square 90*.
Centagon 100*. Orbis 2*, distance from 98* to 102*.
Tridecyl 108*.
Trigon 120*.
One and a half square 135 *.
Biquintile 144*.
Quickons 150*.
Triseptile 154.3*. Orbis 0.9*, distance from 153.4* to 155.2*.
Opposition 180*.

So what have we found now? Decile 36*. Orbis is possible only 2*, distance 34* - 38*. Semi-square 45*. Orbis is possible up to 3*, then the distance is 42* - 48*. Quintile 72*. Orbis is possible up to 4*, then the distance is from 68* to 76*.

We found the orbis of a semi-square - 3 *. Because a semi-square is equal in strength to a semi-sextile, then so. we found the orbis of a semi-sextile.

Quintile and decile - creative aspects. The quintile is the strongest, orbis 4 *, the decile in it is the weakest, orbis 2 *. All other aspects in this group must have an orbis less than the quintile, but may have an orbis equal to the orbis of the decile. This is 2* - 3*.

At the same time, we draw the following conclusion: the quincunx and the one and a half square are minor aspects, their orbis should be less than that of the major quintile, but greater than or equal to the orbis of the semisextile or semisquare. The orbis of the quintile is 4*, the orbis of the semisextile and the semisquare is 3*. Therefore, we take the orbis of all everyday minor aspects 3*.

The orbis of minor creative aspects cannot be greater than the orbis of minor everyday aspects, but it can be equal to them. Therefore, I finally establish the orbis of tridecile and biquintile 3 *.

Now my table looks like this:
Connection 0*.
Half run 20*. Orbis 2*, distance from 18* to 22*.
Semiseptile 25.7*. Orbis 0.9*, distance from 25.8* to 26.6*.

Nonagon 40*. Orbis 2*, distance from 38* to 42*.
Septile 51.4*. Orbis 0.9*, distance from 50.5* to 52.3*.
Sextile 60*.
Semiraseptile 77.1*. Orbis 0.9*, distance from 76.2* to 78*.
Binonagon 80*. Orbis 2*, distance from 78* to 82*.
Square 90*.
Centagon 100*. Orbis 2*, distance from 98* to 102*.
Trigon 120*.

Triseptile 154.3*. Orbis 0.9*, distance from 153.4* to 155.2*.
Opposition 180*.

We have not defined the orbs of only the strongest aspects.
Septile 51.4*. Orbis 0.9*, distance from 50.5* to 52.3*.
Sextile 60*.
Quintile 72*. Orbis 4*, distance from 68* to 76*.
Here we clearly see that the orbis of the sextile can be up to 7.7 *, and then it enters the territory of the septile. I sometimes give him an orbis of 7.5 *, and sometimes - 7 *. I don't think it matters. This time I will take 7*.

If the orbis of the sextile is 7 *, then the square must also have the same orbis.
But the orbis of the opposition and the trine must be greater than the orbis of the square and the sextile. I add them 1 * each and get an orbis for the opposition and a trine 8 *. In the same way, the orbis of the conjunction must be larger than the orbis of the opposition and the trine. I add another 1* to the compound and get the orb of the compound 9*.

Now I can finish my table:
Connection 0*. Orbis 9*, distance up to 9* in both directions.
Half run 20*. Orbis 2*, distance from 18* to 22*.
Semiseptile 25.7*. Orbis 0.9*, distance from 25.8* to 26.6*.
Semi-sextile 30*. Orbis 3*, distance from 27* to 33*.
Decile 36*. Orbis 2*, distance 34* - 38*.
Nonagon 40*. Orbis 2*, distance from 38* to 42*.
Semi-square 45*. Orbis 3*, distance 42* - 48*.
Septile 51.4*. Orbis 0.9*, distance from 50.5* to 52.3*.
Sextile 60*. Orbis 7*, distance from 53* to 67*.
Quintile 72*. Orbis 4*, distance from 68* to 76*.
Semiraseptile 77.1*. Orbis 0.9*, distance from 76.2* to 78*.
Binonagon 80*. Orbis 2*, distance from 78* to 82*.
Square 90*. Orbis 7*, distance from 83* to 97*.

Map Setup - Aspecting

The "Chart settings" window is intended for setting (setting) calculation modes and displaying the natal chart and other data. To call the window, right-click in the field of the natal chart or click the "Settings" button on the toolbar and select the appropriate menu item. Or press the key F9.

To select the "Aspecting" page, press the button with the letter A or press the key A.

The page has the following tabs:

Aspects tab

Block "Aspects"

Block "Auto page selection"

Depending on the type of natal chart, an aspect page may be automatically selected (see "Sets of aspects").
• For a single chart (or when aspecting planets of one circle) - indicate the name of this page (for example, "Natal"),
• For a double or complex chart (when aspecting planets of different circles) - indicate the name of the desired aspect page (for example, "Transit").

Block "Parallels and Antises"

This panel determines the use of declination aspects in the horoscope. Each of the four aspects can be assigned a different color, see Map Settings, Color tab.
• Parallels- parallel and counter-parallel aspects are calculated and displayed,
• Antises- calculated and displayed aspects of planets with antises ("reflections") of other planets (reflection about the axis 0 Cancer - 0 Capricorn) and counter-antises (reflection about the axis 0 Aries - 0 Libra),
• Orbis- these input fields allow you to specify orbs separately for parallels and antimatches..

Direction of aspectation

The item "Aspect direction" of the context menu of the natal chart (as well as the key combination Alt+A) opens the aspect control window (if the chart is not single):

Clicking on a white cell of the table moves the icon to this cell, indicating the aspecting direction, for example, in this screenshot you can see that the aspect between the planets of the 1st (inner) circle and the 3rd circle of the map is enabled, and this map contains 5 circles.

In the case of a midpoint tree, the meaning of the cells is as follows. The column is a circle of planets that are in the midpoints. A line is a circle of planets between which midpoints are determined.

Clicking on the cell of the first row of the table (header) marks this cell in yellow, which means that the corresponding circle of the map becomes "Current".

The context menu of the "Aspect Direction" window contains the following items:

• Aspect 1v1 when switching to dual map. If this option is enabled, then when switching from a single map to a dual one (in the map type selector or in another way), the aspect direction will not automatically switch to 1x2.
• Always show house numbering on external map. If this option is enabled, and the "External map house number" option is enabled (Map settings, Circle), then the external map house numbers will be displayed regardless of the "House number" option. Those. only the house numbers of the external map can be displayed.

Aspect Page

The left margin of the window contains a list of aspect pages. An aspect page is represented by a file of the same name located in the Aspects folder.

In the right field - the currently selected aspect page is displayed.

Clicking the right mouse button in this window brings up a menu of functions for working with aspects:

• Orb depends on the aspect - a standard option, a table of aspects is displayed (in the right field of the window), the lines of which are aspects: symbol, denomination in degrees, color and shape of the line on the map, orbis for each planet (see screenshot above). The orbis of a given aspect for a given pair of planets is calculated according to the "Orbis calculation" option (Chart settings - Aspectation - Orbis): by the largest, by the smallest, by the average.
• The orb depends on the planet - the orb does not depend on the aspect, but is determined by the pair of planets involved in the aspect. Each pair can have its own aspect. In this case, convergent and divergent aspects are configured separately, see below.
• Converging Aspects - (only for the "Orb depends on the planet" option) displays a table for converging aspects.
• Divergent Aspects - (Only for the "Orb depends on the planet" option) displays a table for divergent aspects.

• Add page - enter the name of the new aspect page in the dialog box that appears and click "OK", this page will appear as a copy of the current one. If necessary, it must be corrected.
• Rename page - enter a new page name in the dialog box that appears and click "OK".
• Delete page - the file corresponding to the current page will be deleted after confirmation.
• Update page list - used if the aspect page files in the \ASPECTS folder have been changed manually.

Block orb correction

A block is a selected group of table cells containing the values ​​of aspect orbs.

Order of block correction of orbis:

1. Select a block in the table, for this: pressing Shift, click on the lower right cell of the block, then, releasing Shift, click on the upper left cell of the block. You can select entire rows and columns by clicking on the first row or first column of the table (with or without pressing Shift).
2. Call the context menu by clicking the right mouse button, select the "Correct block" item.
3. In the block correction wizard window that appears, select the required function for changing orbs in this block, set the desired change value and click "OK".

Bookmark "Orbis"

Orbis divergent

This option allows you to reduce the orbs of divergent aspects by a specified percentage of the nominal orbis. This percentage applies to all aspects. For example, if the nominal orbis of some aspect, defined in the table of orbis (aspect page) is equal to 1 degree, then by setting the value of 30% we get the orbis of the divergent 42 minutes (60*30/100 = 18; 60-18 = 42).

Orbis calculation

Choosing how to calculate the aspect orb between two objects:

• the maximum of those set for these objects,
• minimum,
• average.

For example, the orb of the aspect for the Sun is 10, for Pluto 1, then the orb of the Sun-Pluto aspect: maximum: 10, minimum: 1, average: 5.5

The option is only available in the "Orb depends on aspect" mode (see Map settings - Aspect - Aspects - Aspect page - context menu).

Convergence of aspects of the dual map

When considering the convergence of the mutual aspects of the planets of a double (or complex) chart, it is required to determine which of the circles is fixed and which is movable. For example, usually, natal is fixed, transit is mobile. However, in some astrological techniques, a special definition of this parameter is necessary.
• External card fixed- if you need, for example, to rectify the natal chart, this will allow you to explore the behavior of (transit) aspects when changing the time of birth,
• Internal map fixed- is used, for example, for an event forecast.

Midpoint Orbis

• This input field allows you to set the value of the planet's orb in mipoint (to build a tree of midpoints). When using a harmonic, the nominal orbis (1 degree) is reduced by dividing by the number of the harmonic, for example, for the fourth harmonic, the orbis would be 15 minutes.

Orbis plot in a new window

• When you left-click on an aspect line on the map, a graph of the change in the orbis of this aspect in time (aspect dynamics graph) is displayed. If another aspect is selected, the graph may appear either in the same window or in a new one, depending on this option.

Bookmark "Antis"

• Display aspects of antisovs- when the options are enabled, arcs of aspects of antis and counter-antis are displayed on the map,
• Display planet antis- the symbols of these planets are displayed on the outer circle of the map in the places of the antis of the planets,
• antisov filter- allows you to set sets (sets) of planets between which you want to consider aspects of antis, selecting a planet in the list is done by clicking the mouse,
• Axis of antis- for issuance on the map, you can choose one of the axes, relative to which the "reflection" of the planet is considered, its antis: Cancer - Capricorn, Ascendant - Descendant, Medium of the Goal - Imum of the Goal.
• For Aspect Graph- you can select several types of antis at the same time.

The heavenly bodies the Sun and Uranus can be considered antagonists.
