The “nice, friendly” aspects, in turn, are indeed related to ease and comfort. Like the feeling when we are on a beautiful island during the summer holiday - everything is wonderful, calm. But we do not create anything while we rest. Just because we rest and think about nothing, doing nothing. There is no dynamics.

Ptolemy wrote the following of aspects:

”Signs occur in a straight line because of opposition. Trigono and sexstil are harmonious because they are composed of identical Zodiac signs - entirely female or entirely male. The square and opposition are disharmonious because they are composed of Zodiac signs with the opposite sex.”

Can anyone think of sexual fusion of two men or two women that has created life?! The primary goal of every living being is to live - through reproduction. At the genetic level, it is imperative. Even when a man realizes that one day he will not be alive, his genes have no intention to die and do not want his opinion. And they look for possible differences in the genetics of other. And the difference always leads to a conflict, tension. It is simply disharmonious. Dis-Harmony. This is the principle of life. And of everything that man creates and makes.

The square is a very special aspect. However, modern astrology has created entirely undeserved bad image to it. 90 ° is ¼ of 360 degrees of the circle. We have four cardinal signs - Aries, Cancer, Libra and Caprico. They are located at 90° from one another and specify the key points in the course of the Sun. These are the two equinoxes and solsticeс. Something is happening in the Sun’s course at these points. Something changes – seasons are changing,  the length of day and night are changing, and the points of sunrise and sunset move differently.

For example, in the day of autumnal equinox in the northern hemisphere (to the south it is summer equinox), day and night are equal, but after that point, the day becomes shorter than the night. Until the winter solstice, when something happens again – the Sun likely stops and the course of sunrises and sunsets turns. Ancient Greek astronomers called this phenomenon “reverse sun; tropic”. After this point, the day becomes longer and the night – shorter.

Therefore, disharmonious aspects take priority particularly in predictive astrology. They answer the question “What is happening? What has changed / What will change? Where there is movement, action, creation?” These are the most active links between the planets, just because their main feature is dynamics, tension, challenge. They contain information about significant changes in life, moments in which the most important events happen.  

I will give guidelines to interpret aspects between planets in the next article.
