1 article for "Hard Aspect"

Hard Aspect [ ]

45 degree divisions of the circle: semi-square, square, sesquiquadrate, and opposition. Some astrologers who use the 16th harmonic include the 22 1/2 degree divisions as well. The conjunction can be a hard or soft aspect depending on the planets involved; for example, a conjunction between two dissimilar planets, such as Venus and Mars, could be considered challenging. The Uranian and Ebertin schools of astrology work predominantly if not exclusively with hard aspects.
