In astrology, minor aspects (also called tali aspects) are lesser angular relationships between planets. While not as dominant as major aspects, they add nuance and detail to chart interpretation.
1. Semi-Sextile (30°)
- Effect: Subtle opportunities, minor harmony.
- Interpretation Tip: Indicates areas where small adjustments or awareness can create benefit.
2. Semi-Square (45°)
- Effect: Mild tension or irritation; internal challenges.
- Interpretation Tip: Points to areas requiring effort or adaptation, often overlooked.
3. Sesqui-Square (135°)
- Effect: Similar to semi-square; minor obstacles or stress.
- Interpretation Tip: Indicates underlying friction that may push toward personal growth.
4. Quincunx / Inconjunct (150°)
- Effect: Adjustment, awkwardness, need for adaptation.
- Interpretation Tip: Highlights areas where energy doesn’t integrate naturally; requires conscious adaptation.
