Decoding Astrology Minor Aspects: What Do They Really Mean?

Alright, so you wanna know about them astrology minor aspects, huh? Well, listen up, ’cause I’m gonna tell ya what I know. It ain’t rocket science, even though them fancy folks like to make it sound all complicated.

First off, we got these things called aspects. They’re like how them planets are lookin’ at each other up there in the sky. Big ones, like trines and squares, them’s the major aspects. They’re kinda like when your neighbor’s dog barks real loud – you can’t miss it. But these minor aspects, them’s more like a little whisper, a little nudge. You gotta pay close attention to hear ‘em.

Now, one of these minor aspects is called a sextile. That’s when planets are 60 degrees apart. Think of it like a friendly nod across the street. It means things can flow kinda easy, like butter on a hot biscuit. Opportunities might pop up, you know, like finding a dollar in your old coat pocket.

Then there’s the quincunx, or inconjunct as some call it. That’s 150 degrees, and let me tell ya, it’s a bit of a fuss. It’s like when you got a pebble in your shoe – not a big problem, but it sure is annoying! You gotta adjust, you gotta wiggle things around to make it work. It means there might be some adjustments needed in your life, some things you gotta figure out.

Semisquare (45 degrees): This one’s like a little pinch. It’s friction, it’s tension. Kinda like when your chickens get out of the coop and you gotta chase ‘em all over the yard. It means you might have to work a little harder to get things done.
Sesquisquare (135 degrees): This is like the semisquare’s bigger, meaner brother. More friction, more tension. It’s like when your car tire goes flat on the way to the grocery store. Gotta deal with it, gotta fix it.
Semisextile (30 degrees): This one’s a tiny little nudge. A little spark. Like when you see a pretty flower growing by the side of the road. It’s a small thing, but it can brighten your day. It means there’s potential for something new, something interesting.

And don’t forget about the quintile (72 degrees) and the biquintile (144 degrees). Them’s a bit more special, you see. They’re about talents, about gifts. Like when your grandson can play the fiddle like nobody’s business, even though he never had a lesson. It means you got something special inside you, something unique. Gotta nurture it, gotta let it shine.

Now, some folks use big orbs for these aspects, like 7 or 8 degrees for the majors. But for these minor ones, you gotta keep it tight, maybe just 1 or 2 degrees. Otherwise, you’re just makin’ stuff up, and that ain’t right.

These minor aspects, they ain’t good or bad, they just are. They’re like the spices in a stew. A little bit of this, a little bit of that, they add flavor, they add complexity. They tell you more about the story, about the whole picture. They’re used in birth charts, you know, that map of the sky when you were born, and also in them transits, which is what’s happening in the sky right now and how it’s affecting you.

So, next time you look at your horoscope, don’t just focus on the big stuff. Pay attention to them minor aspects, too. They got a lot to say, if you’re willing to listen. And remember, astrology ain’t about predicting the future, it’s about understanding yourself, about understanding life. It ain’t always easy, but nothin’ worth doin’ ever is, right?

And that’s all I got to say about that. Go on now, and make somethin’ of yourself.
