In Aspect

When composing chart search conditions, "In Aspect" allows you to select...

•A First Planet, Point or Cusp – any of Solar Fire’s standard chart points, or any of the 12 house cusps

•A First Point Modifier – a modifier to apply to the selected point or cusp, such as the ruler of that point, the degree almuten of that point, the antiscia of that point, the contra-antiscia of that point.

•An Aspect or Aspect Type – an individual aspect in the currently selected aspect set, any aspect, any soft aspect, any hard aspect.

•An Aspect Modifier – a modifier to apply to the selected aspect, such as applying only, separating only, or applying or partile.

•A Second Planet, Point or Cusp

•A Second Point Modifier

Also, for Chart Searches only, whether the second point's placement relates to...

•The same chart - i.e. the aspect occurs between the two points in the charts being searched (the selected radix chart is not used)

•The radix chart - i.e. the aspect occurs from the first point in the charts being searched to the second point in the selected radix chart

or ... for Electional Searches only, whether the second point's placement relates to...

•The transiting chart - i.e. the aspect occurs between the two transiting points (the selected radix chart is not used)

•The radix chart - i.e. the aspect occurs from the transiting first point to the second point in the selected radix chart

The aspect types which may be chosen are defined as follows...

•Any Aspect – Any one of the aspects which is switched on in the currently selected aspect set, using the orbs defined within that aspect set.

•Any Soft Aspect – Any one of Conjunction, Trine, Sextile, using the orbs defined for those aspects within the currently selected aspect set, regardless of whether or not they are individually switched on in the aspect set.

•Any Hard Aspect – Any one of Opposition, Square, SemiSquare, SesquiSquare, using the orbs defined for those aspects within the currently selected aspect set, regardless of whether or not they are individually switched on in the aspect set.

Examples: Mars conjunct Saturn; The Traditional Ruler of the 5th House Cusp in any applying aspect to the Ascendant; The antiscia of the Ascendant in applying soft aspect to the almuten of the 9th House Cusp.

Note: The aspect orbs that will be used in the search are those natal orbs specified in the currently selected aspect set, as specified in the “Aspect Set” box at the bottom of this dialog. If you wish to change the orbs, then you can either edit this aspect set, or select a different aspect set.
