Sometimes astrological concepts are difficult to understand though we often
use it in our everyday speech. Find the meaning of the most obscure
astrological terms in our on-line dictionary!
Opposition - When Planets are exactly opposite each other in the chart wheel; an arc of 180 degrees. Creates stress. Balance is needed in the presence of an opposition.
Orb - The space on the chart wheel measured in degrees, between planets and points, by which an aspect may vary from exactness and still remain effective.
Out of Bounds - Planets which are outside the usual north or south measurement of the celestial equator within which planets rest.
Out-of-Sign - Also known as a dissociate aspect; addresses the importance of measuring aspects by degree rather than Sign. For example, a conjunction between a planet at 29 degrees Leo and 1 degree Virgo is within a 2 degree orb but not the same Sign. This weakens the aspect.
