how many degrees in orbs should i put on a astrology chart

Physics tell us that when light reflects off an object all the colors except for the one you see are absorbed by the object. I think of a chart like all the colors of the rainbow. To venture into a more philosophic perspective. Then if you need to dial out the orb to include the exceptions you can do so with the awareness it is 'the exception.' I find if you work from a conservative assessment of orbs and make that the rule it provides more solid insight. Of course if this situation comes up, and it does from time to time, you would also want to look at minor aspects made to one or the other from other planets as well. Also, if there are NO other aspects made by other planets to either one or the other then you may need to widen your orb to consider the relationship.

If you have a conjunction of Saturn at 2˚ Taurus and Mercury at 20˚ Aries ( to use your info) Most astrologers would consider it too wide for a strong consideration, however, Mercury is faster and catching up with Saturn so there is a subtle consideration. Well yes, everything is included but you want to focus in on the dominant factors in a chart first and the tighter aspects help reveal that.Īnother consideration is the movement and speed of the planets motion. There is a tendency, especially in beginning astrologers, to cast a wide net and include everything. Are you talking about Synastry, where you are comparing your chart to another? I don't know how you are seeing double with two Suns.Ī simple consideration with all aspects is: the closer or tighter the orb the more influence it will have. WHOW! You have 2 Suns? I've never come across that before
