Hi,

I am trying my best to learn Vedic Astrology. One of the things I don't seem to quite get yet is aspects, I was wondering if someone could please tell me a little bit about the major aspects in my chart. Thanks!

All planets have drishti or aspects. Or to put it in simpler terms they “look” at other planets and signs. All planets aspect the sign or planet placed exactly opposite to them, i.e., in the 7th house from them. This is normally called the 7th house aspect, or the full aspect. Apart from this 7th aspect, some planets have “special” aspects.

Mars aspects the 4th and the 8th houses from its position.
Jupiter aspects the 5th and the 9th houses from its position.
Saturn aspects the 3rd and the 10th houses from its position.
Rahu and Ketu aspect the 5th and the 9th houses from their position though this is somewhat controversial.

The houses and the planets aspected by a planet get influenced by the planet. The effect will be good or bad depending on the nature, condition, lordship etc of the aspecting planet and also on the relation between the two planets


We can interpret the intention of the aspecting planet in two ways.

1) by the intrinsic nature of aspecting planet, whether a benefic or malefic one.

2) by the mutual relationship between the two planets, whether a friend or neutral or enemy.
