Exact angle and orb
An opposition is exact at 180°, a trine at 120°, a square at 90°, a sextile at 60°, and a conjunction at 0°. The orb records how far the real separation is from that ideal angle.
Applying and separating
When reliable speed data is available, an applying aspect is moving toward exactness and a separating aspect is moving away. This detail is useful but secondary to the aspect itself.
Synthesis over labels
Read the two planets first, then their aspect, signs, and houses. The goal is to understand an ongoing relationship between functions, not to collect isolated keywords.
