What sets Unaspected Planet apart
An unaspected planet has no aspect to any other body within the orb chosen, which means the definition changes with the rules. With only the five major aspects and tight orbs, an unaspected planet is uncommon, while allowing minor aspects or angles removes the status. Because most bodies in a chart are linked, a planet left out of the web is conspicuous, which is why the condition is noticed at all.
- Definition: no aspect to another body within the chosen orb
- Depends on: which aspects count, which bodies count and the orb used
- Narrow test: major aspects only, to the main planets
- Wider test: includes angles, nodes or minor aspects
- Sun and Moon: wider luminary orbs make them rarely unaspected
Often mistaken for something else: A Moon void of course is a different test: it makes no further applying aspect before leaving its sign. An unaspected planet makes no aspect at all, applying or separating.
