The tightest aspects in Albert Einstein's chart

An aspect is the angle between two planets; the smaller the orb, the more closely their themes are read as bound together. The tightest in this chart:

  • Mercury conjunction Saturn, orb 1.0°. Mercury symbolizes thinking, speech, learning and exchange; Saturn, structure, responsibility, limits and maturity. A conjunction is usually described as two planets' themes fused, each amplifying the other.
  • Sun sextile Pluto, orb 1.2°. Sun symbolizes core self, will and vitality; Pluto, depth, power, transformation and renewal. A sextile is usually described as an easy cooperation that rewards a little effort.
  • Mars trine Pluto, orb 2.2°. Mars symbolizes drive, desire, courage and anger; Pluto, depth, power, transformation and renewal. A trine is usually described as a natural, easy flow of support.
  • Moon trine Venus, orb 2.5°. Moon symbolizes emotions, comfort and the need to feel safe; Venus, love, beauty, values and pleasure. A trine is usually described as a natural, easy flow of support.

Stelliums and patterns

  • Mercury, Venus and Saturn in Aries: three or more planets in one sign make a stellium, and that sign's themes stand out in the chart.
  • Sun, Mercury, Venus and Saturn in the 10th house: the part of life this house covers carries a lot of weight.
