Aspect Activations Study

The Aspect Activations Study generates an event whenever a pair of transiting bodies form an exact aspect while at least one of those transiting bodies is conjunct (within the transit orb) a natal body. The conjunction with a natal body activates the natal body in the aspect.

You can also create an Aspect Activations Study from the toolbar by clicking the Aspect Studies drop-down button and selecting Aspect Activations.

Events Captured

An Aspect Activations event occurs when a pair of transiting bodies form an exact aspect listed in the Aspects table while at least one of the transiting bodies is conjunct (within the transit orb) a natal body from the selected natal record. The natal body is reported alongside the transiting pair as the body the aspect activates.

Events Table Columns

The events table for an Aspect Activations Study contains the following columns:

Column	Description
Date Time	Date and time of the event.
Inner Body	Name of the inner (faster) transiting body in the aspect that activates the natal body.
Inner Body Longitude	Ecliptic longitude (or right ascension) of the inner body.
Inner Body Sign	Zodiac sign of the inner body.
Inner Body Latitude	Ecliptic latitude (or declination) of the inner body.
Inner Body Distance	Distance of the inner body from the coordinate origin.
Inner Body Speed	Apparent angular speed of the inner body.
Cycle Angle	Aspect angle (cycle position) between the inner and outer transiting bodies, in degrees.
Phase	Phase of the transiting aspect cycle, derived from the cycle angle: New (0°), Waxing (between 0° and 180°), Full (180°), or Waning (between 180° and 360°).
Separation	Angular separation between the inner and outer bodies at the event.
Outer Body	Name of the outer (slower) transiting body in the aspect.
Outer Body Longitude	Ecliptic longitude (or right ascension) of the outer body.
Outer Body Sign	Zodiac sign of the outer body.
Outer Body Latitude	Ecliptic latitude (or declination) of the outer body.
Outer Body Distance	Distance of the outer body from the coordinate origin.
Outer Body Speed	Apparent angular speed of the outer body.
Natal Body	Name of the natal body being activated by the transiting aspect.
Natal Body Longitude	Ecliptic longitude (or right ascension) of the natal body.
Natal Body Sign	Zodiac sign of the natal body.
Natal Body Latitude	Ecliptic latitude (or declination) of the natal body.
Natal Body Distance	Distance of the natal body from the coordinate origin.
Natal Body Speed	Apparent angular speed of the natal body.
Event Interval	Time interval between this event and the previous event.
