Conjunction
Also called conjunct
Two bodies at the same place in the zodiac; astrologers read their themes as fused or acting together.
The conjunction is the strongest aspect in most traditions. Whether it reads as easy or hard depends on the planets involved. It is not always counted as an aspect in the Ptolemaic sense (Ptolemy lists angles between signs), but every tradition treats it as one.
- How it is worked out
- Two bodies 0° apart along the ecliptic, within the allowed orb.
