Interpret Astrology The 360 Three-Way Combinations - Matrix Software

Interpret Astrology: Three-Way CombinationsWhat most astrologers do is look for those angularseparations between any two bodies that form one ofthe sixteen aspects listed above, and they tend to (forthat moment at least) ignore anything else – thespace in-between aspects. I do this too, but I also dosomething else, which I want to tell you about.Once I have determined which major aspects thereare in the chart and noted them, I then look to see ifany of these aspects are linked one-to-another toform an aspect pattern that stretches all the wayaround the chart, the full 360 degrees. These linkedseries of planetary aspects are appropriately enoughcalled aspect patterns. I call them whole-chartpatterns and find them very important when theyoccur in a natal helio chart.To make this clear: aspects between planets can bescattered anywhere in the chart; they do notnecessarily connect up one to another to form linkingpatterns that stretch part way or all the way aroundthe chart. This is an important point, so please makesure you understand. We are speaking here ofaspects that connect one-to-another all the wayaround the chart, ending on the planet where theaspect chain started. Such aspect chains are called“Whole-Chart Patterns.”395
