Disseminating – Waning Sesquiquadrate.
Last Quarter – Waning Square.
Balsamic – Waning Semi-square.
What’s the big deal about phases? Further posts to come. Phases provide a deeper understanding to the relationship between two planets. Similar to Lunar Phases (i.e. New Moon, Full Moon) each represent a turning point in a cycle.
Applying-Exact-Departing. This refers to the movement of one celestial body toward an aspect with another.
- Applying means the aspect hasn’t happened yet.
- Exact is the moment in time that the aspect is precise.
- Departing means the faster celestial body has moved ahead of the slower one. The aspect is no more; however, the vibration of it may be felt for a while.
