Current Astrology Aspects

Aspects are the angles that planets form with one another in the sky. When two planets sit at a particular angle, astrologers see a special relationship between them. AstroNow calculates these angles for the current sky and shows which aspects are active right now.

There are several classic aspect types. A conjunction happens when planets are almost at the same point in the sky. An opposition is an angle of about 180 degrees, with the planets facing each other. The trine (about 120 degrees) and the sextile (about 60 degrees) are traditionally seen as harmonious, while the square (about 90 degrees) is seen as tense. The small allowance around an exact angle is called the orb.

Because planets move at different speeds, aspects are always forming and separating. Aspects involving the Moon shift quickly, within a day, while aspects between the slow outer planets can last for weeks or months. That is why a live snapshot of the sky is more useful than a static table.

AstroNow shows the current aspects based on the real positions of the planets. You can see exactly which planets are involved and the angle they form, giving you a quick sense of the overall “mood” of the sky at this moment. If you want a simple overview of each aspect type, read our dedicated guide to what planetary aspects are.

Aspects are best read alongside the signs and the Moon. Review the planet signs and the current moon phase, and use the astrology calendar to view changes over time.
