Cusp A line dividing the houses. The beginning of an astrological wheel of house starts with the Ascendant and moves counterclockwise. Astrology in interpretation places great value of the beginning of the house, thus when dealing with signs that are close to the beginning of a house it can represents a gray area where the individual may be affected by both signs, the preceding house and the house of entrance. This line is measured in degrees Also, the degree of the zodiac (celestial longitude) where one astrological sign ends and the next begins. An angular relationship between two points in the 360° of the zodiac. Said another way, the angular distance between two planets is what causes the aspect. The aspect begins with the fastest orbiting planet of the two. For example, it would be Mercury conjunct Saturn and not Saturn conjunct Mercury. · Conjunction: Close-usually within 5-7° : The most powerful aspect because it indicates the same degree of the same sign for two planets. This aspect can be very intense and sometimes on the negative side, combustible. Conjunction expresses the creative energy of both planets involved. ·

aspect for the planets involved. The effect is usually influence of functions in
