[QUOTE="lillyjgc, post: 57795, member: 4652"] Sundance Kid, i guess the answer to your question is yes. It must be remembered that the astrological custom of the day prior to alan Leo was to give a much wider orb on application. As the maximum strength of a transiting planet occurs when the aspect is exact, the strength diminishes technically, from the point at which it begins to separate....if its a slow moving planet it exerts its influence for longer and is slower to depart...hence a more *long term* effect is derived for the transit.I would not give an orb of ten degrees usually to an applying aspect...(unless it was involved in a stellium or similar..) and for a departing planet I would consider an orb of 3 to be the maximum. I would give an applying trine of say mercury to mars a 5 deg orb on the applying side and a 3 deg orb for the separating *influence*- or *aftermath* as I call it....the quicker the planet, arguably the tighter the orb of influence because it doesnt stay long and moves on quickly. Just my thoughts on the matter. lillyjgc [/QUOTE]
