The Magi Society's extensive statistical research has revealed a number of
astrological principles that differ from those of other astrological systems.
In this lesson, we will discuss:

Planetary Aspects & Geometry in Magi Astrology™

The primary aspects used in the geocentric longitudes are fairly consistent with those used in Western Astrology. In addition, Magi Astrology uses 3 other dimensions of calculation- the geocentric declinations, the heliocentric longitudes, and the heliocentric latitudes- which are considered of equal importance. See the lesson:
4 Dimensions of Magi Astrology for more discussion of these additional 3 dimensions.

The heliocentric longitudes use the same primary aspects as the geocentric longitudes. In the geocentric declinations, the aspects used are the parallel and contraparallel. These same two aspects, called the parallel and contralatitude, are also used in the heliocentric latitudes.

Understanding the aspects to look for, and their significant orbs, are the building blocks of understanding a key concept of Magi Astrology: Symmetrical Planetary Geometry.

Below are some examples of Planetary Geometry:

Fig. 1

Fig. 2

Our research has shown that by working together synergistically, planets which form Symmetrical Planetary Geometry operate MUCH more powerfully  than planets which do not.

Here are more examples of Symmetrical Planetary Geometry:

Planetary Synchronization is another Magi concept. It occurs when planets make angles within permissible orbs with one another but which may not form primary aspects. Planets which are synchronized but do not form a symmetrical pattern of primary aspects also work synergistically together, though not with the same amazing strength as in true Symmetrical Planetary Geometry.

An example of Planetary Synchronization:

The following examples, using simplified Magi Astrocharts,
graphically show planets which are parallel and/or contraparallel:

Here you can see that when lines are drawn between the 1st person's planetary configuration in the Fig. 10 chart and the 2nd person's single planet in the Fig. 11 chart, the result is the Symmetrical Planetary Geometry in the Fig. 12 chart:

Interpretation of Symmetrical Planetary Geometric Patterns depends both on the particular pattern formed, and planets involved, and is very similar to the aspect interpretation guidelines discussed above.

Patterns:

The Grand Trine (Fig. 2) is considered to be the most beneficial form of Symmetrical Planetary Geometry.
The Yod (Fig. 3) and Geometry such as the Four-Planet configuration in Fig. 4 are also considered to be typically beneficial.
The T-Square (Fig. 5) and the Grand Cross (not shown) are considered to be stressful.
Multiple parallels and contraparallels are usually beneficial.

Planets:

As mentioned in the discussion of aspects above, in Planetary Geometry, helpful planets-especially Jupiter- typically make any Planetary Geometry more helpful.

Saturn's presence in any Planetary Geometry makes the Geometry more stressful.

Primary Aspects Used
in Magi Astrology

The quincunx and contraparallel are considered positive UNLESS one of the planets is Saturn. In that case the aspect is considered negative.

Squares and Oppositions are considered stressful regardless of the planets involved.

Aspect interpretation is greatly influenced by the planets involved. Jupiter involved in any aspect is almost always helpful, and improves the interpretation of the aspect. Saturn involved in any aspect is almost always stressful, and degrades the interpretation of the aspect.

Permissible Orbs
in Magi Astrology:

Geo Longitudes: 3.0°

Helio Longitudes: 3.0°

Geo Declinations: 1.2°

Helio Latitudes: 0.3°

One exception to the above permissible orbs exists: in planetary geometry, when 3 or more planets are synchronized symmetrically with one another, 1 planet only
may have a 4° orb.
