posts walking through the other aspects would be greatly appreciated. i've been thinking about my venus and mars, which are loosely conjunct (i think) but in different signs. living through this moment where they're in some kind of dance in my life, i appreciate the questions for consideration to get curious about all the exposition that leads up to the waltz/shuffle of today.
Cool, I will add more aspect-related posts to my queue. I'm excited to get back to these fundamentals myself. I'm really glad the questions are useful too.
For your Venus and Mars, if they are in different signs, I wouldn't consider them conjunct *personally* (but other astrologers might!). However, depending on how close they are to each other, divided by the sign boundary, they may have a different sort of relationship that's defined by invisible proximity, like two people on either side of a wall, trying to connect despite the barrier — which is its own interesting thing to consider!
I HAVE LOVED THIS SO MUCH UGH ❤️🔥Really really cool idea to first introduce conjunctions before fixed star conjunctions. Looking forward to the next article for sure and also, would definitely be pleased to read more from you about aspects!
With Neptune shifting signs I was just thinking about my mars and Neptune conjunction in Sagittarius. Neptune is at 28 and Mars is at 29, both in my 3rd house. As the faster planet, I guess that means Mars is departing—does that mean they don’t affect each other as strongly? Jupiter is also nearby in the 3rd house but at 5 degrees Capricorn.
You've got it! When you were born, Mars was leaving the encounter with Neptune. Based on traditional astrology principles, this is a less potent conjunction than if Mars was heading toward Neptune (so at, say, 25-27° Sagittarius) or exactly conjunction Neptune. But I would still count it as a conjunction. When you imagine them, you could think of it like Mars is traversing the Sagittarius landscape and comes upon Neptune's oceanic magician space, pulled into a whirlpool or a mesmerizing liquid mirror full of tricks, and you were born just as he was shaking the dream from his mind. Something like that.
Sun, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn all in Virgo ♍ 11, 18, 18, 27 respectively. Would you say Saturn was co-present in this context?
Yep! As long as the planets are in the same sign, no matter how far apart, they are co-present! You got it.

ah okay, that's good to know you wouldn't consider them conjunct!

Thank you for the encouragement, Azur! ❤️🔥
