Astrological Aspects: Riding the Wave of
Planetary Cycles
©
2009 James Jarvis, M.A.
Astrological aspects (the most common being the conjunction,
opposition, trine, square and sextile) speak of the angular
relationships between the planets on each day of the year. As each
planet has its own cycle of rotation around the sun (faster with the
inner planets and slower with the outer), these angular relationships
are constantly changing. Within the greater cycle of the planets
journey around the sun is the lesser cycle that each pair of planets
goes through with each other. In many ways this cycle of the planets,
through their constantly changing angular relationships with one
another, can be likened to that of a giant wave. What we know about
waves occurring in nature, whether they are made up of water, light or
sound, is that there are other waves that accompany the principle wave
which are half as long, one third as long, one fourth as long and so
on. These “sub-waves” are known as harmonics of the fundamental or
principle wave. In astrology, these harmonics make up what we call the
aspect series and are derived from dividing the circle (360 degrees) by
1, 2,3, 4, 5, etc.
When two planets are in the same sign we say they are conjunct; they
are “in union” (1st harmonic; the principle wave) with each other and
form a whole that is greater then the sum of their individual
energies. As the planets move half way through their cycle with each
other, they form an opposition (2nd harmonic) which brings awareness to
their polarity or complementary energies. A third of the way through
their cycle they are in trine (3rd harmonic) which is represented by a
balanced and flowing interchange. One fourth of the way they are in
square (4th harmonic) which represents the urge for dynamic change and
resistance to each other at the same time. Lastly, when two planets
are one sixth of the way through their cycle with each other they are
in sextile (6th harmonic) which symbolizes constructive utilization of
their respective energies.
This movement of planetary pairs from conjunction to conjunction, then,
is like a giant cosmic wave constantly changing in its flow. When
planetary energies are in their trine or sextile positions we feel more
aligned with their energy. When in opposition or square we have to be
much more aware of using the planetary energies consciously and
constructively. Depending on which planets are conjoining each other,
we can either be over stimulated or catapulted into action. Utilizing
the planetary energies constructively is like learning how to ride the
wave. If your timing is off and you are not aware you can get your
face slammed into the sand, but if you become one with the wave you are
picked up and carried by its gentle but powerful guidance to your
destination.
