What Does Conjunct Mean Astrology

Soft is also the “conjunct” aspect, which occurs when two planets are in the same sign. Conjunct celestial bodies tend to combine their energies to create a strong cosmic brew. Mercury conjunct Venus, for example, indicates smooth communication and emotional expression.

In astrology, what does it mean to be in conjunction?

“A conjunction occurs when two planets align in the same sign,” Stardust explains. When two planets are at zero degrees apart, this hyper-focused aspect mixes the traits of the two (or more) planets, intensifying their combined energy in the sign they’re sharing.

It can be a fantastic aspect, full of potential for high-energy and activity, if the attributes of the planets involved work well together and get along. However, if the planets don’t get along or provide heavier, more difficult vibrations, being imprisoned in a limited cosmic space together might produce disharmony or exacerbate the gloomy feelings.

What does it signify when two planets align?

When two astronomical objects (such as asteroids, moons, planets, and stars) appear to be close together in the sky as seen from Earth, it is called a conjunction.

In astrology, what is the difference between conjunct and conjunction?

When you start going deeper into the maze of astrology, you find it’s about so much more than the signs of the zodiac. There are planets to consider, and boy, do they have a big impact on not only your birth chart but also what’s going on in astrology right now. These planets establish aspects with one another, constantly challenging, supporting, and frustrating one another while also generating new energy. The conjunction, the trine, the square, the sextile, and the opposition are some of the more well-known aspects. But that’s just scratching the surface; have you ever heard of an astrological phenomenon known as a quincunx?

This strange-sounding word refers to an aspect of the sky that may appear inconsequential, but is actually responsible for a lot of the awkwardness that exists there. But, before we get into the implications, let’s define what it is. A quincunx, which is also known as a “inconjunct,” occurs when two planets in the zodiac form a 150-degree angle (or are five signs apart from each other).

Understanding the definition of a quincunx begins with the word “inconjunct.” After all, the word “inconjunct” is literally the antonym of the word “conjunct,” because in astrology, one planet is conjunct another when they’re in the same zodiac sign and in the same degree. Because they both emanate energy in the same zodiac sign, these two planets are merging their energies and effectively forming one gigantic super planet. So, when two planets (or zodiac signs) are inconjunct, where do we go from there?

Which astrological combination is the best?

When the planets Jupiter and Saturn come closest together in the sky, it is called a grand conjunction. When Jupiter “overtakes” Saturn in its orbit, a great conjunction occurs once every 20 years. They’re called “great” because they’re the rarest of all the planet-planet conjunctions visible to the human eye (i.e. excluding Uranus and Neptune).

The distance between the planets varies depending on the conjunction, although most are between 0.5 and 1.3 degrees (30 to 78 arcminutes, or 1 to 2.5 times the width of a full moon). Very close conjunctions are far less often (though the greatest separation of 1.3 is still close by inner planet standards): separations of fewer than 10 arcminutes have only occurred four times since 1200, the most recent in 2020.

What happens when the planets align?

• Conjunction: When the planets are in the same sign, they are quite near together in the sky (i.e., the Sun and Venus both in Virgo). The energies of the planets collide, magnifying the themes linked with each.
• The planets are 60 degrees apart, or two signs apart, in a sextile (i.e., the moon in Scorpio and Mercury in Capricorn). Both planets’ energies are in complementary elements and flow together harmoniously (earth and water or fire and air).
• The planets are 90 degrees apart, or three signs apart, in a square (i.e., Uranus in Aquarius and Mars in Taurus). This is a more difficult element to deal with since signs of the same modality (cardinal, fixed, or mutable) may collide.
• Trine: The planets are separated by 120 degrees or four signs (i.e., the Sun in Libra and Mercury in Gemini). Planets that are 120 degrees apart will share the same element, resulting in a peaceful and easy vibe. When three or more planets make an equilateral triangle in the chart, it is called a grand trinity.
• Oppositions occur when planets in a chart are opposite each other, six signs or 180 degrees apart, as the name implies (i.e., Mars in Gemini and Jupiter in Sagittarius). The planets are in opposing elements and share a modality. There’s room for development and balance here, but it’s not always simple.

Which planet is the most powerful when it comes together?

Planets should be within 15 degrees of each other to achieve a favorable conjunction. The closer they become, the more intense the combination becomes. Based on degrees, there is a strong conjunction between the Sun, Venus, and Mars in this image, but Mercury is far distant from these three planets.

Are Saturn and Jupiter always in the same place?

The magnificent conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn will be seen in the west shortly after sunset today. At the exact instant of the conjunction, the duo will be only 0.1 degree apart. Some speculate that they will resemble an extended star. Will they succeed? Or will they resemble a pair of planets?

The term “conjunction” is used by astronomers to describe the meeting of planets and other objects on the dome of our sky. The term “great conjunction” is used to describe the meeting of Jupiter and Saturn, our solar system’s two largest planets. Jupiter and Saturn are 456 million miles (734 million kilometers) distant, despite the fact that they will appear breathtakingly close together on the sky’s dome right now. Saturn is roughly twice as far away from Jupiter as Jupiter is from Saturn.

A Jupiter-Saturn conjunction occurs every 20 years, with the most recent one occurring in the year 2000. However, not all of these conjunctions are made equal. Jupiter and Saturn’s grand conjunction in 2020 will be the nearest since 1623, and the closest observable since 1226! The extra-close Jupiter-Saturn conjunction of 2020 will not be surpassed until the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction of March 15, 2080.

Jupiter and Saturn are now an enticing and mind-expanding sight for all of the reasons stated above. They are not to be missed!

Jupiter and Saturn were close to the sun in our sky at the Great Conjunction of 2000, 20 years ago, making it difficult to observe. A more visible big conjunction is on the way. Every evening now, Jupiter and Saturn are plainly visible and very noticeable as two bright objects close each other, not far from the sunset glare. In addition, the young moon appeared in the evening sky in the days leading up to the conjunction (last week), marking the way to the planets.

Jupiter shines brighter than any other star in the sky. Saturn isn’t as bright as Jupiter, yet it shines with a golden hue and is as luminous as the brightest stars. On the sky’s dome, Saturn is just to the east of Jupiter. Their brightness and proximity to each other make them stand out.

When you gaze at them, you’ll see that, unlike the twinkling stars, Jupiter and Saturn both shine brightly all the time.

The two gas giant planets were around 3 degrees apart in November, when the moon went through Jupiter and Saturn (about November 16 to November 21).

Between November 21 and the day of the conjunction, December 21, Jupiter will traverse roughly 6 degrees on the sky’s dome and Saturn will travel about 3 degrees. Jupiter will close the 3-degree gap between itself and Saturn as a result of this migration.

Bingo! What a fantastic combination! Jupiter’s journey over a few days in December is depicted in the graphic below.

Saturn is the planet that orbits the sun the furthest away. It’s the world’s furthest and slowest-moving planet that we can see with our naked eyes. Jupiter is the second-slowest bright planet after Saturn, and it is the fifth planet outward from the sun. Jupiter and Saturn are the brightest planets, yet they have the fewest bright-planet conjunctions due to their slow movements in front of the zodiac constellations.

Jupiter takes roughly 12 years to orbit the sun, while Saturn takes nearly 30 years. As a result, Jupiter catches up to Saturn every 20 years as seen from Earth.

These Jupiter/Saturn conjunctions (in ecliptic longitude) occur on the following dates from 2000 through 2100 inclusive, as seen from our planet Earth:

Here’s why these massive Jupiter/Saturn alignments occur every 20 years. Saturn completes around 12 degrees of its orbit around the sun each year, whereas Jupiter completes approximately 30 degrees. Jupiter fills the gap between itself and Saturn by around 18 degrees (3012 = 18 degrees) in a year.

Jupiter gains 360 degrees on Saturn every 20 years (18 x 20 = 360 degrees), thereby lapping the ringed planet once every 20 years.

So start keeping an eye on Jupiter and Saturn right now! Also, the big conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn on December 21, 2020, should be noted on your calendar.

What does having three planets in one house mean?

You’ll need to map your birth chart online to see whether you have a stellium (the AstroTwins offer a helpful birth chart generator on their website!) to see if you have one. You’ll need the date, time (to the minute), and location of your birth to do so.

When you’ve gathered all of the information you’ll need, plug it into the generator, and you’ll have your birth chart in no time. Determine which of the houses your planets belong to. A stellium is defined as three or more planets snuggled in one home. Then check to see if you have three or more planets in one of the zodiac signs. That, too, is a stellium!
