Planetary Conjunction
Understanding the mutual relations of planets:
Astrology is about the mutual co relation of the 9 planets in a chart. The planets corelate with each other through following different ways -
- When one planet is placed in the sign ruled by another planet. It is said to get related with lord of that planet. For example if Mars is posited in Libra sign that is ruled by Venus. Mars is said to give results as per its own significations as prescribed or limited by the sign of Libra ruled by Venus. This is one form of association of planets.
- When one planet aspects another planet, it is said to effect the results of that planet. For example, if Jupiter aspects Moon in the horoscope, the results of Moon will have the flavours of Jupiter as well. This is the second form of assocation. This becomes intense if Moon also aspects back Jupiter. In which case, the mutual aspect strengthens the results of this aspect.
- Conjunction of planets occurs when two or planets are placed together in one house and in one sign. This is a very strong association of planets.
- Exchange of signs is another and the strongest form of association of planets. For example, if Moon is placed in the sign of Libra and Venus is in the cancer sign, the two planets are said to be in exchange yoga.
Conjunction of planets
It is a very important element of astrology and needs to be understood well in order to be able to read the horoscope. When two or more planets are sitting in one sign in a horoscope, they are said to be conjoint and this is known as conjucntion of planets. The mutual degree difference between the planet is very important. The lesser the difference, the more intense is the conjunction. And produces stronger results.
We will discuss in detail the results of some of the very significant conjunctions of planets in the subsequent pages.
