To draw your own aspects, you need to know this.
Personally, I have always used for interpreting birth charts:
For conjunctions, squares, trines and oppositions 8-9 degrees
For sextiles 6 degrees
For inconjuncts 5 degrees
For semi-sextiles, semi-squares, sesi-squares, quintiles 1 1/2 degrees.
In some cases, as with synastry, if there is a Saturn aspect to the ruler,
of which I already posted on, it is best to use caution and widen the orb,
even the sign, such as opposing signs i.e., Scorpio/Taurus, and signs that
square i.e., Libra/Capricorn. But as for doing birth chart interpretations,
I have always used the above.
I also want to add through my own research, semi-sextiles and the other
so-called “minor aspects” are aspects of fate; especially the semi-sextile,
rather than aspects of personality traits. The reason being, if correctly
read, the orbs are very tight and when one has two or more planets linked on
a certain degree or within 1 1/2 orb of a certain degree, there will be a
fated event that will occur in the life at some point. The more planets that
tie into that degree, the more major the event will be. A major turning
point in one‟s life.
In some cases, the linked planets can also indicate something one is born
with such as a special talent or an anomaly. I knew a woman who had an IQ of
over 185 and she had an exact Mercury/Uranus square linked with her
ascendant degree, making this personal. People born on that day would have
the tight Mercury/Uranus square, but when an aspect links to one‟s
ascendant, chart ruler or midheaven and the orb is under 1 1/2 degrees, it
becomes personal.
