The tightest aspects in Vincent van Gogh'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 trine Jupiter, orb 1.3°. Mercury symbolizes thinking, speech, learning and exchange; Jupiter, growth, faith, generosity and meaning. A trine is usually described as a natural, easy flow of support.
• Mars square Jupiter, orb 1.9°. Mars symbolizes drive, desire, courage and anger; Jupiter, growth, faith, generosity and meaning. A square is usually described as friction that also drives.
• Venus conjunction Mars, orb 1.9°. Venus symbolizes love, beauty, values and pleasure; Mars, drive, desire, courage and anger. A conjunction is usually described as two planets' themes fused, each amplifying the other.
