[QUOTE="Lin, post: 461787, member: 2751"] You all have made my usual point ...that it's a case by case basis. Orbs are not set in stone (except the inconjunct....which never can be more than 3 degrees...and ideally 2-2 1/2). I've seen the Sun and Moon active in squares at 10 and 12 degrees or more if another planet extends the aspect by it's connection. A conjunction to an angle is "usually" active at about 5 degrees on the cadent side and 8 degrees on the angular side...but not always. It depends upon the planet and other aspects involved. In "general" I use what Astro.com uses in their charts. Sometimes I'll put in 105% if there's a lack of aspects....but I usually just use my own judgment according to the chart as a whole. And once a student does enough research (readings) he/she can get an idea of how powerful any particular planet is in its orb. I will say this: it's not guessing. If something is meant to be difficult or easy, you will have more than one example of it in a chart. If a square is a core issue, there will be other squares or oppositions or inconjuncts, etc, to that area. If trines, you'll see sextiles and good house positions, etc. LIN [/QUOTE]
