Why Don’t I See Certain Aspects in My Chart?

If you’re not seeing a particular aspect appear in your chart, it may be because it falls outside the default aspect orb settings in the TimePassages mobile or web apps. These settings are currently fixed and not adjustable by users.

What Is an Aspect Orb?

An orb is the number of degrees of separation allowed between two planets for an aspect to be considered valid. For example, a conjunction with an 8° orb means the two planets must be within 8 degrees of each other to be considered conjunct.

Tip: When either the Sun or Moon is involved in an aspect, the allowed orb increases by 50%.

How To Troubleshoot a Missing Aspect

1. Check the degree difference between the two planets in question.

2. Compare it to the orb listed above for the chart type you’re viewing.

3. Remember that if the Sun or Moon is involved, you can increase the orb by 50%.

If the aspect falls outside the allowed orb, it won’t display in your chart.
