Reading the Aspectarian

What is an Aspectarian?
An aspectarian is a table used in astrology to show the angular relationships between the planets in your birth chart.

Symbols that show time

⁰ = degrees

‘ = minutes

“ = seconds

Chart 1: Will Smith's Natal Chart

Step by Step

The upper symbol in each box is the type of aspect.
The middle number is the orb of the aspect, meaning, how close the aspect is to being exact.
‘A’ indicates an applying aspect, meaning that the planets are moving towards each other and the orb will get smaller as time goes by.
‘S’ indicates a separating aspect, meaning that the planets already formed the exact aspect and now they are moving away from each other.
The bottom number is the total number of degrees between each planet pairing.

The orb is the number of degrees on either side of an aspect. This chart is set to have a 10 degree span on each side of the conjunction, giving a total 20 degree orb for the conjunction. Some astrologers use a wider orb, some use a smaller orb. You’re the astrologer, it’s up to you!

Chart 2: Problems with wide orbs

If you choose to use wide orbs, you might end up with planets that make multiple aspects at the same time. In Will’s chart, his Moon and Saturn are quincunx and triseptile at the same time using a wider orb.
