The Forest and the Trees
In understanding aspects and their orbs, it is very easy to lose sight of the forest because of the trees, and this is a very important point:. The reason we look at aspects and aspect patterns is to see what is going on. Since most astrologers today use computers, it is easy to set some orbs, and let the computer churn out a list of aspects. The problem with such lists is that once you set an aspect to a certain orb, you may exclude or be unaware of many important astrological events, without every knowing it.
For example, if I set the orb for the Sun at 9 degrees, as we listed earlier, and I have the Sun and Moon with an angular separation of 9-degrees and one minute for whatever aspect they might be approaching, that aspect is not going to appear on my list, even though I need to be aware of it. This is the danger or setting and forgetting orbs. There is no substitute for actually looking at the chart patterns with your eyes. Don’t only depend on lists, or you will miss a lot that is important in the chart.
