There are three neutral aspects: the conjunction, inconjunct and parallel.
Neutral indicates they have no harmony and no discord unless Venus or Jupiter (the harmonious planets) or Mars or Saturn (the discordant planets) are involved.
A neutral aspect involving Venus or Jupiter has a harmony score and a neutral aspect involving Mars or Saturn has a discord score. A neutral Venus-Saturn aspect has a discord score and a neutral Mars-Jupiter aspect has a harmony score. A neutral Venus-Mars aspect and a neutral Jupiter-Saturn aspect has no harmony or discord.
The conjunction aspect: a prominence thought-compound
A conjunction aspect is formed when 2 planets are located in the same degree of the zodiac. It has an orb of + or - 15º and the planets may or may not be in the same sign and house but their close association makes the aspect easy to sight in your birth chart.
Its influence is comparable to the Sun being very powerful and convertible in nature.
The aspect’s keyword is prominence.
A conjunction aspect in your birth chart maps a thought-compound in your unconscious soul-mind that’s working to bring a life-matter, activity, interest or relationship into prominence.
Its relative strength is measured by its astrodyne power score; and if applicable its functional harmony or discord is measured by its harmodyne or discordyne score.
The thought-elements ruled by the aspecting planets have had a long and close association. They entered your consciousness simultaneously; merged neutrally; are constant and persistent; and work to bring events similar to their formation experience into prominence.
The thoughts, feelings and desires mapped by the planets in conjunction are a prominent feature of your character.
The thought-elements are not influenced by environmental harmony (pleasure) or environmental discord (pain) unless otherwise indicated and what eventuates is primarily due to personal effort rather than pressures applied by environmental forces beyond your control.
So your focus is internal: the satisfaction of a prominent desire-urge. Your intelligence and ability develop through personal effort.
A high-powered conjunction aspect maps a thought-compound that’s working to bring a life-matter or activity associated with its house position into prominence. And it can’t be contained.
Some life-matter – your health, finances, private thinking, siblings, home, social life, children, partner, marriage, loan life, higher-education, religion, friends, public life, career and/or work etc. – is playing a prominent role in your life.
A three-planet conjunction is a major cluster point. It maps an especially significant thought-compound.
When the planets in conjunction are located in adjacent houses the prominent condition or situation it maps involves a life-matter ruled by each house.
Keynote message: A conjunction aspect in your birth chart maps a prominence thought-compound in your soul-consciousness that’s working to bring a life-matter, activity, interest or social relationship associated with its house position into prominence. It’s a conspicuous life experience.
The inconjunct aspect: an expansion thought-compound
An inconjunct (aka quincunx) aspect is formed when 2 planets are 150º apart in the zodiac. It has an orb of + or – 4º and the planets are commonly five signs and houses apart. It’s easy to observe in your birth chart.
Its influence is comparable to Neptune being slightly separative in action and uncertain.
The aspect’s keyword is expansion.
An inconjunct aspect in your birth chart maps a thought-compound in your soul consciousness that’s working to attract expansion.
The thought-elements ruled by the aspecting planets have had an occasional association through a small number of experiences. They entered your consciousness together; merged neutrally; have a feeble driving force; and work to attract events similar to their formation experience.
The thought-elements are not influenced by environmental harmony (pleasure) or environmental discord (pain) unless otherwise indicated and what eventuates is primarily due to your own character and actions rather than pressures applied by environmental forces beyond your control.
Having a great deal of personal control you can overcome the difficulties when Mars or Saturn are involved and make gains by using your initiative when Venus or Jupiter are involved.
Your focus is internal: the satisfaction of an urge that desires expansion. But feeble desire has to be harnessed and focused otherwise the hoped for expansion fails to materialize. You go where your strongest desires take you.
The tendency is for life-matters ruled by the houses occupied by the aspecting planets to come together but then drift apart. Neutral feeling is devoid of pleasure and pain so when nothing much eventuates it’s no big deal. There’s a mood of impartial resignation.
An expansion thought-compound works to attract an event that involves the expansion of a life-matter, activity or social relationship ruled by the houses occupied by the aspecting planets.
So the event can involve your health, finances, mental activity, home and home life, social life, children, marriage, friends, higher-education, career and/or work etc.
Keynote message: An inconjunct aspect in your birth chart maps an expansion thought-compound in your soul-consciousness that’s working to attract expansion with a life-matter, activity, interest or social relationship ruled by the houses occupied by the planets in inconjunct. It’s a feeling neutral experience.
The parallel aspect: an intensity thought-compound
A parallel aspect is formed when two planets are in the same degree of declination, regardless of whether they are north or south of the celestial equator. It has a 1º orb and the planets can be in the same or different signs and houses.
Its influence is comparable to Pluto, being persistent and drastic in quality.
The aspect’s key word is intensity.
A parallel aspect in your birth chart maps an intensity thought-compound in your unconscious soul-mind that works to gradually intensify your interest in some life-matter or activity.
Its relative strength is measured by its astrodyne power score; and if applicable its functional harmony or discord is measured by its harmodyne or discordyne score.
The thought-elements ruled by the aspecting planets have had a long and close association. They entered your consciousness simultaneously; merged neutrally; are loosely formed and imprecise; and work to attract events similar to their formation experience.
A high-powered parallel aspect maps an intensity thought-compound with a big driving force thats neutral – no pleasure–no pain – quality internalizes your motivation. So what eventuates is the result of personal effort rather than environmental forces beyond your personal control.
A parallel aspect in your birth chart maps a loosely formed thought-compound in your unconscious mind. Its influence is imprecise and uncertain – not explicit – so it’s inclined to convert and change. A ‘will I, or won’t I’ state of mind can easily develop, yet over time it gradually intensifies attracting an event ruled by the house or houses occupied by the planets in parallel.
The event can relate to your health, finances, private thinking, home life, social life, children, partner, marriage, friends, higher-education, public life, career and/or work etc.
Keynote message: A parallel aspect in your birth chart maps an intensity thought-compound in your soul-consciousness that’s working to attract an event ruled by the houses occupied by the planets in parallel. It’s a longtime, ongoing, quite persistent experience.
