Question #1746: What are the correct & acceptable orb degrees for different Astrology aspects?

[Ask Satya Operator]

I wanted to ask this because I have a few planets in my natal chart that are aspecting each other and I wanted to know the orb degree limits for different aspects. For example according to Astrodentist I have 2 planets squared in my chart that are 7 degrees off from an exact square. Is this orb too far apart to count as a real square?
What are the right orb degrees for the different aspects in a natal chart for Conjunctions, Squares, Trines, Sextiles, and Oppositions?

 

[Schwarze Sonne]

Conjunction, Square, Opposition, Trine = 9°

Sextiles = 5°

Quincunx, Semisextile, Semisquare, Sesisquare, Quintile, Bi-Quintile = 2°

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.
