Aspects in astrology: what they are, how they are calculated and why each has an exact minute
Trine, square, opposition — five angles that carry half of astrological vocabulary. Each has an exact moment, a measurable duration and mechanics you can follow. What an orb really is and why it is your choice rather than a property of the sky. How an applying aspect differs from a separating one, and why that distinction matters more than the aspect itself. Five aspects of one week in September 2026, to the minute.

The void-of-course Moon: what it is, how it is calculated and what to do about it
The void-of-course Moon is one of the rare astrological terms with an exact technical definition: the stretch from the Moon's last aspect in a sign to its entry into the next. This week those stretches ran from 36 minutes to 25 hours.
