"n astrology, an aspect is an angle the planets make to each other in
the horoscope, and also to the ascendant, midheaven, descendant, lower
midheaven, and other points of astrological interest. Aspects are
measured by the angular distance in degrees and minutes of ecliptic
longitudebetween two points, as viewed from Earth. According to
astrological tradition, they indicate the timing of transitions and
developmental changes in the lives of people and affairs relative to
the Earth."
