Conjunctions and aspects to fixed stars
Filter out the stars and find their contacts with planets and angles.
Screenshots show the Ukrainian app interface. The English guide describes the same controls.
What it is and why it matters
This tool finds the proximity of planets and angles to stars according to selected rules. It adds another layer to the chart when the main positions and aspects have already been tested.
When to use it
- When you explore contacts with a specific named star.
- When you need a limited list of the brightest stars instead of a large catalog.
Terms explained
- Orb
- The permitted deviation from an exact aspect angle. A wider orb includes more contacts and extends the periods during which they are considered active.
- Asc and MC
- The Ascendant (Asc) is associated with the intersection of the ecliptic and the eastern horizon. The Midheaven (MC) is associated with the upper part of the local meridian. Both depend on time and location.
Where to find it
Right panel → Stars.
How to use it
- Set the star limit value in the "Brightness to" field. Less number leaves brighter stars.
- If necessary, enable "Only named" for a shorter list. The main conjunction here has a fixed orb 1°.
- Look at the pair of “point-star”, longitude stars and deviation.
- Enable “Aspects to the sights” for additional aspects to the named sights.
Settings and options
Select an option to learn how it works and when to use it. The label beside its name shows whether it affects calculations, chart appearance or data.
Magnitude limitCalculation
The visible star limit is the number of stars. Less means a brighter star; it is not an astrological scale of importance.
- What changes
- The increase in the limit includes darker stars and may add contacts.
- When to use it
- Start with bright eyes; expand the catalog for a specific study.
Named stars onlyCalculation
It leaves the stars that have their own name in the catalog.
- What changes
- Enabled: a smaller, more recognizable list; disabled: catalogues are also included.
- When to use it
- For learning it is more convenient to turn on; for a full check of the catalog, turn off.
Aspects to starsCalculation
Adds a separate table of aspects to the named visions, in addition to the main conjunction.
- What changes
- Enabled: additional contacts are displayed under the brightness rules; off: the main table conjunction remains.
- When to use it
- For a technique that deals with such aspects; check the orb rule in the note.
Conjunction deviation / 1° orbAppearance
In this panel, the main conjunction is selected with a fixed permission of 1°.
- What changes
- There is no separate field of change for this orb in the interface. The deviation hint shows the longitude of the star.
- When to use it
- To check the contact, read the deviation, rather than look for the missing orb switch.
The result
The table will show contacts that match the filters.
Worked example
This is a teaching example; results for your chart may differ.
- Situation
- You need to check the possible conjunction of the planet with the star.
- What to do
- Check the brightness filter and find the appropriate line; orb main conjunction in this panel is fixed — 1°.
- How to read the result
- The main conjunction should be within 1°; the absence of a line can also be explained by the filter.
For professional practice
Brightness and name filters allow consistently shaping the sample; the table shows a point, star, and deviation for verification.
What to check for a precise comparison
Conjunction for longitude does not necessarily mean a small spatial distance on the sky. Additional aspects to stars have a separate rule orb.
Keep in mind
The orb additional aspects depend on brightness; the rule is described in the panel itself. A blank list means no contacts in the current filter.
