Personally, I have always used for interpreting birth charts:
For conjunctions, squares, trines and oppositions 8-9 degrees
For sextiles 6 degrees
For inconjuncts 5 degrees
For semi-sextiles, semi-squares, sesi-squares, quintiles 1 1/2 degrees.
In some cases, as with synastry, if there is a Saturn aspect to the ruler,
of which I already posted on, it is best to use caution and widen the orb,
even the sign, such as opposing signs i.e., Scorpio/Taurus, and signs that
square i.e., Libra/Capricorn. But as for doing birth chart interpretations,
I have always used the above.
I also want to add through my own research, semi-sextiles and the other
so-called "minor aspects" are aspects of fate; especially the semi-sextile,
rather than aspects of personality traits. The reason being, if correctly
read, the orbs are very tight and when one has two or more planets linked on
a certain degree or within 1 1/2 orb of a certain degree, there will be a
fated event that will occur in the life at some point. The more planets that
tie into that degree, the more major the event will be. A major turning
point in one's life.
In some cases, the linked planets can also indicate something one is born
with such as a special talent or an anomaly. I knew a woman who had an IQ of
over 185 and she had an exact Mercury/Uranus square linked with her
ascendant degree, making this personal. People born on that day would have
the tight Mercury/Uranus square, but when an aspect links to one's
ascendant, chart ruler or midheaven and the orb is under 1 1/2 degrees, it
becomes personal.

Orb degrees Thu Sep 4, 2014 5:54 am (PDT) . Posted by: vabzirteloch I'm a
little bit confused concerning the orbs in astrology.
One of my astrology books says that each planet has different orbs for
different of the aspects, for example the Sun:
17° for conjunctions and oppositions,
11°20' for trines,
5°40' for sextiles,
8°30' for squares, and
4°for the minor aspects
Are these correct?
Another source stated that the orbs differ from each other only in regards
to the aspects, but we should use the same orbs for every planet, except the
Sun and the Moon.
So what exactly are we using here? I'm really confused.
Thanks in advance.
