What are Moon Aspects?
Moon Aspects defines the way other planets their energy interact with the Moon’s energy, to form a new force called the “third force”.

One last thing before we get onto the Moon Aspects. Conjunctions have different meanings that all other Astrological Aspects because, of the proximity between the two planets. The planets are within the same degree from one another (0°) or within 10°. Therefore Conjunctions have unique meanings. And lastly Astrological Aspects are divided into Major Aspects (have the most influence on you) and Minor Aspects (have the least influence on you).
