Conjunction Aspect
The 0-degree relationship and its chart-specific context. This guide gives a reproducible rule, worked example, illustrative near miss, and explicit limits.
Overview
A conjunction centers on 0° separation and combines two factors in the same zodiacal area without deciding in advance whether the result is easy or difficult. The page separates calculation from interpretation and keeps this worked result conditional: separation 4° establishes the conjunction while the two house topics remain distinct layers of interpretation. Verification follows this declared method: Compare 14° Taurus with 18° Taurus, record a 4° separation, then evaluate the two planets, sign, house, phase, and allowed orb.

Definition and exact scope
a conjunction centers on 0° separation and combines two factors in the same zodiacal area without deciding in advance whether the result is easy or difficult
Calculation or decision rule
compare 14° Taurus with 18° Taurus, record a 4° separation, then evaluate the two planets, sign, house, phase, and allowed orb
Worked case and illustrative near miss
☉ 14°♉ in house 6 and ☽ 18°♉ in house 7; conjunction target 0°; orb cap 8°; the intervening house cusp is retained. separation 4° establishes the conjunction while the two house topics remain distinct layers of interpretation.
Illustrative near miss: ☉ 14°♉ and ☽ 25°♉ share Taurus but separate by 11°; co-presence in one sign cannot override the declared 8° cap.
School and variant boundary
Exact angles are geometry; orb choices, priority, and symbolic language are declared practitioner conventions.
Product, safety, and verification boundary
OpenFate can connect Conjunction Aspect to the natal chart and reading flow where supported; the connection supplies evidence, not a guaranteed life result. Verification retains failed measurements and uncertainty, then revises interpretation rather than the receipt. Conjunction Aspect cannot diagnose a person, remove consent, or guarantee an event.
