    Unaspected Planets

    An unaspected planet is very rare in psychological astrology. When a planet receives no aspects, its principles and drive are not properly integrated into the person's whole nature. It will lack ways to use its energy. For example, an unaspected Mercury may lead to acting from emotion without reasoning. An unaspected planet indicates an area that is difficult to integrate or express fully due to lack of aspectual energy. Late degrees of a sign can show important relationships that activate an otherwise unaspected planet. There are no simple formulas, and dialogue with the client is important to understand how an unaspected planet works in their life.

    Unaspected Planets
    A question arose recently concerning the meaning of unaspected planets.
    From the point of view of psychological astrology, an unaspected planet is very rare! Perhaps it is so rare as to be
    non-existent. What are the orbs being used? For psychological work we allow very wide ones.
    We usually allow a ten to twelve degree orb for the Sun, Moon, and ascendant ruler when looking at aspects to
    other planets. Narrow aspects are used only in predictive astrology for timing, not in natal chart interpretation from
    a psychological perspective. Dialogue with the client is of the utmost importance! How does the planet work in his
    or her life?
    Here are some quotes from astrological texts by (1) Margaret E. Hone, (2) Jeff Mayo and (3) Myrna Lofthus,
    respectively:

    (1) Occasionally a planet is found to receive no aspects whatsoever. (The student should be wary of
    failing to notice the semi-square and the sesquiquadrate.) This does not seem to have been the
    object of much research.
    The idea is expressed here that such a planet will not be weak or ineffective (unless otherwise so
    adjudged), but, failing the interchanges with other planets, its principles, and especially its drive or
    urge when considered as an instinct or a force in the unconscious self, will not be properly
    integrated into the wholeness of the person.
    If a forceful planet, it will lack ways of using its drive. If a more receptive planet, it will at times be as
    if left out of the scheme altogether. For instance, a person with an unaspected Mercury will have
    moments of acting from sheer emotion, without the inclusion of any reasoning whatsoever.
    (2) This does not mean the planet is a weak actor in the chart. Usually it is indicative, according to
    the planet, sign and house involved, of characteristics or a feature in the life of the person which it is
    difficult, or perhaps not attempted, to integrate with the rest of the nature or life-pattern.
    (3) An unaspected planet is said to indicate an area (the planet, the sign, and the house) that you
    are trying to express but find it difficult to do, because the planet doesnt have the necessary
    energy to make it operate.

    I would like to add, with respect to a very well known chart that has an unaspected Sun (at 28 degrees of Cancer
    and no other planets are over 20 degrees of any sign), that the late degrees (27 to 29 degrees) of any sign show up
    with inevitable frequency in the charts of people with whom the native has important relationships: mother, brother,
    girl friends, wife, bosses. Other people seem to be drawn into his life to activate the unaspected Sun. And
    transits seem to affect him more powerfully than they do the average person.
    For instance, when Uranus and then Neptune went over 28 degrees of Capricorn, opposing the Sun, he
    experienced acute manifestations of a series of identity crises both with respect to his domestic life and his
    career. This continued until Saturn in late Aries finished making a square to the Sun.
    Any time a planet stands out, whether as unaspected or as a singleton (the only planet in a hemisphere,
    element, modality or orientation) or in any other way, it is important to question the client and elicit information and
    history from him or her concerning the matters in the life that are signified by that planet. Then, and only then, can
    you begin to understand how it works for that particular individual.
    Expect a great variety of responses from different individuals. There are no easy, simple cook-book formulas for
    interpreting unaspected planets or anything else in the chart, for that matter.
