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

I don't need anything from you, except to serve you. I hope that helped for Marie who asked specifically for the article and for other newbies who are reading! Astrologers differ on orbs.įor Asteroids, I use up to a 3 degree orb for conjunctions and up to a 2 degree orb for other aspects such as the trine and sextile. For the Moon and Sun, I widen it to 7 degrees. A wide orb is more ambient.įor planets, I use a 5 degree orb. The orbs determine the strength of the aspect. In other words, there would be an exact orb between Eros and the Ascendent. One would have a zero degree orb between Eros and the Ascendent. If one has Saturn at 15 degrees Cancer, the Ascendent at 13 degrees Cancer and Eros at 13 degrees Cancer, one would have a 2 degree orb between Saturn and the Ascendent. With asteroids, the orbs must be very narrow in order to be significant. If my Sun were 29 degrees Cancer and my mercury was at 2 degrees Leo, I would have a 3 degree orb.

There may be a case where the planets are in different signs and one needs to calculate the orbs. Someone close to me has an Aquarius Sun at 4 degrees Aquarius and an Aquarius Mercury at 4 degrees Aquarius. Hence, I have 7 degree orb between the two.

I have a Gemini Mercury at 21 degrees Gemini. I have a Gemini Sun at 28 degrees Gemini. Hence, we will study one of the most basic tools of Astrology–how to calculate orbs. As with any language, learning the basics is, probably, the hardest part. I am delighted to try to make the subject of Astrology a little easier for the newbies. It is easy to forget the simple mechanics in Astrology when one has been studying charts for a long period.
