Hi there
Ok, so if Venus is at 6.5 Aries, and Mars is at 15.5 Cancer.....they are applying to a square in 9 degrees. However, Venus won't actually square Mars until Venus reaches 21.5 Aries and Mars reaches 21.5 Cancer.
Do we use the symbolic degree orb...from 6.5 to 15.5 and say they will connect in 9 degrees?
OR, do we use the degree where the aspect perfects, which is 21.5 Aries and Cancer? In this case it would be 15 degrees for the aspect to perfect.
Frawley seems to make much of this in his book: p. 128-129
So, how come no one on this forum seems to use this technique? We all seem to use the first one, the plain old symbolic one, and pay no attention to when the aspect perfects...(not in real time, but at what real degree).
Could this be why some of our predictions are wrong? Has anyone gone back to check charts where their predictions were wrong, and then looked to see if it could've been due to this degree difference in aspect perfection? Just curious, since Frawley has it emblazened in his book as being of utmost importance.
cheers

.The Sun at 10 Taurus applying to Mars at 14 Leo would typically perfect when the Sun is at about 17 Taurus. The Sun has to travel 7 degrees to perfect the aspect, not 4. It is where the aspect perfects that matters
