Conjunction:The
conjunction occurs when two or more planets are on the same degree on the
ecliptic, that is, when planets are in the same place in the sky from the
vantage point of the earth. As the name implies, the energies of the planets
involved form a hybrid, fuse together as one.
What is often neglected
is that the planets forming a conjunction act reciprocally, that is, their
energies act synergistically, each planet’s energy acts upon the other.
It is easy to fall into the trap of thinking that one planet (often the
outer of two planets) acts upon the other (usually the inner of two planets),
however, the energy exchange is much more dynamic than this. The conjunction
is the most powerful aspect simply in terms of the amount of energy involved.
Because it doesn’t
necessitate conflict with the outer world, the conjunction can lead to
self-absorption, withdrawal, a preoccupation with self-interest, or an
assertion of the inner will out into the world at large. There is a latitude
of freedom in the conjunction not found in the square or opposition—the
owner has liberty to deal with the energy of the conjunction as he or
she sees fit—however, the shear potency of the energy forces the
individual to deal with this aspect in a significant way.
Sextile: The sextile
occurs when two planets are approximately 60 degrees from each other from
the vantage point of the earth.
The planetary energies
involved stimulate each other, excite each other. Experimental and exploratory,
the sextile is a highly mental aspect and in this respect the sextile is closely
related to the element of air and can be archetypally related to the planet
Uranus. Many astrologers believe that the sextile acts very much like a weaker
trine, however, there really is no striking evidence to support this conviction.
