Planetary Aspects in Astrology
Different planets form certain geometric shapes with each other, which are called planetary aspects. Each aspect is directly affected by the energies of specific planets. Certain aspects have been found to create problematic events in our lives, and some aspects vice versa, to affect a person in a very positive way. If the planet has unfavorable aspects or is in the unfavorable sign of the zodiac, this planet is named - damaged planet or an anareta planet. Negative effect of an anareta planet can be expressed through bad personality traits, or through difficult circumstances that occur in your life. If the planet has favorable aspects, the consequences will be more favorable to you. Bad planetary aspects, especially on damaged planets are often problematic. They contribute more to the development of your personality as they tend to produce complex effects that require a great deal of depth and self-examination. Meanwhile, favorable aspects tend to submit simple and positive effects that are easy to understand. In any case, the whole person's birth chart needs to be thoroughly checked, as positive and negative qualities can neglect each other or appear in mitigated forms.
