The meeting of two or more stars or planets in the same degree of the zodiac; as, the conjunction of the moon with the sun, or of Jupiter and Saturn. See the Note under Aspect, n., 6.
The aspect formed when two planets occupy position close together in the zodiac.
The position of two celestial bodies (very often one of them being the Sun) when they have the same celestial longitude (right ascension) when viewed from Earth.
configuration when planets draw close together within a certain orb, or number of degrees Compass and Set Square The compass and the set square are two Masonic tools dating back to the Ancient Egyptian civilization when the Order was being created. They are crossed together to form the "Seal of Solomon" and symbolize the "unfinished building" of the Temple of Solomon. Used in the initiation ceremony, while the palm is resting on the compass and the set square, the initiate is sworn to "finishing the building of Solomon’s Temple," i.e. to keep the Masonic society alive and growing.
When two or more celestial objects are very close together in the sky, they are said to be in conjunction. They appear close only because of our perspective, or line of sight. In reality, they are usually very far apart in space. When one object actually crosses in front of the other, it is called an occultation.
2 or more planets occupying the same sign and the same degree. Usually considered to merge the quality of each planet into a single energy.
a binary operation that evaluates its operands but performs no computation on them; used to test if two expressions both succeed. Conjunction has the effect of logical and. See also: mutual evaluation and disjunction.
the phenomenon in which two bodies have the same apparent celestial longitude (see longitude, celestial) or right ascension as viewed from a third body. Conjunctions are usually tabulated as geocentric phenomena. For Mercury and Venus, geocentric inferior conjunction occurs when the planet is between the Earth and Sun, and superior conjunction occurs when the Sun is between the planet and Earth.
When two bodies appear close together in the sky usually within 15 degrees or less.
a situation in which the Moon or a planet appears to be especially close either to another planet or to a bright star.
the planetary configuration in which the planet's angular distance (elongation) from the Sun is either zero or a minimum.
When two celestial bodies are at the same longitude.
the temporal property of two things happening at the same time; "the interval determining the coincidence gate is adjustable"
a close apparent approach between two celestial objects
a close approach between two celestial objects as seen from Earth
a grouping of stars or planets that can appear exceptionally large and shiny to the human eye
an aspect of power and Pluto, as noted, is a planet of power
an intense mingling of planetary energies, a unity that sometimes provides a energy source for constructive change and growth, yet mayalso catalyze a volatile, explosive energy
a term used in both Astronomy and Astrology to signify the appearance of two heavenly bodies at the same location in the sky
a 'thing' formed by combining two or more 'things' which are of the same kind as each other
There are at least three definitions of conjunction. Bodies are said to be in conjunction when they have the same ecliptic longitude (this is the strict definition) or when they have the same Right Ascension or when they are at their closest. Planets are said to be "at conjunction" when they are in conjunction with the Sun. (See diagram.) For extended bodies (e.g. Sun, Moon, planets), the body's position is taken to be its centre.
The alignment of bodies such that they are located on the same celestial meridian.
An aspect created between two planets, corollary points, or cusps that has an arc of 00° 00'
The alignment or close alignment of two or more astronomical bodies.
two planets having the same position (in longitude) in the ecliptic are said to be in conjunction. This relative position had important astrological significance.
When a body comes into line with another as seen from the Earth. Usually, by default, with the sun - superior conjunction being when the body is on the far side of the sun, inferior conjunction when it is on the near side. Mercury and Venus are the only planets capable of inferior conjunctions.
This is when a celestial body in the same elongation on the ecliptic as another. When two planets are in conjunction they often create a very bright point of light this happens only if they actually meet, which they do not always do, since the orbits of the planets are not exactly in the same plane as one another. If this does occur, it is known as an Occulation. The following discussion is on the subject of conjunctions with the sun. Superior planets have only one conjunction point, when they are on the opposite side of the sun to the earth. Inferior planets have two conjunction points, one where the planet is on the opposite side of the sun to the earth (superior conjunction), and one where the planet is directly between the earth and the sun (inferior conjunction). Conjunction is not a good time to observe a planet.
Any two or more celestial objects aligned with each other are said to be in conjunction.
An astronomical event where two celestial objects appear close to each other in the celestial sphere.
The passing in the sky of one planet by another planet, or by the Moon or Sun. Two planets are in conjunction when they have the same ecliptic longitude or, alternately, the same right ascension.
when two solar system objects have the same celestial longitude.
The position of two celestial objects when they are 0° apart as viewed from east to west on Earth. When the Sun is one of the objects the other is between it and Earth so is usually not visible.
An alignment of two bodies in the solar system with the Earth, so that they appear to be at the same place (or nearly so) in the sky as seen from the Earth.
When two bodies appear to close together in the sky, i.e. they have the same Right Ascension. Mercury & Venus are said to be at Superior Conjunction when they are behind the Sun, and at Inferior Conjunction when they are in front of it. The outer planets are simply said to be at conjunction when they pass behind the Sun
Two or more planets sitting next to each other within an acceptable orb, generally considered within 8 degrees for major aspects. A conjunction gives great strength to the energies of the interacting planets.
a time when two or more bodies appear close together in the sky
The situation of two celestial bodies with the same celestial longitude (the angular distance measured east of the vernal equinox along the ecliptic); for example, conjunction occurs when the moon and the sun are directly in line with the earth and the moon is between the earth and the sun.
An event that occurs when two or more celestial objects appear close together in the sky.
Where two celestial objects reach the same celestial longitude. The moon is in conjunction with the sun when it passes between the earth and the sun at "new moon." Mercury and Venus show two conjunctions with the sun; Superior conjunction when they pass beyond the sun and change from morning star to evening star. Inferior conjunction when they pass between the earth and the sun, and change from evening star to morning star.
when two objects orbiting the same body come closest together.
The apparent meeting of two or more celestial bodies in the same degree of the zodiac.
An aspect formed when two angles or planets are at roughly the same angle (usually within an orb 8-10 degrees)
A planet is in conjunction when the Sun is exactly between the planet and the Earth or when a planet, the Sun, and the Earth are lined up.
(0 Degree) - Planets that are together in the Zodiac, indicates prominence of the two energies.
An aspect or angle between two points in a chart where the two points are close enough so that the energies join. Can be considered either harmonious or challenging, depending on the planets involved and their placement.
A geometrical arrangement of the Earth, Sun and one or more planets in a line, with the Sun between the Earth and the planet(s). The complementary arrangement is called opposition, when the Earth is between the Sun and the planet(s). See also opposition
When two bodies occur within the ten degrees of longitude to one another, they are said to be conjunct. The closer they are, the stronger the blended power.
A major planetary aspect formed between two planets occupying the same degree of celestial longitude, within an orb of 8° (opinions vary on the number of degrees which constitute the orb). The conjunction aspect represents the union of planetary energies. Conjunction is also a term used to describe the Prenatal New Moon in a birth chart and is used in medieval astrological techniques.
The placement of two celestial bodies in the same sign at the same degree of the Zodiac. If the planets involved are benefic, or one benefic and one malefic, the effect of the conjunction is usually favorable, but if both planets are malefic, the effect is usually difficult.
A geometrical arrangement of the Earth, Sun and another planet(s) in a line, with the planet(s) behind the Sun. The complementary arrangement is called opposition, when the planet(s) are behind Earth.
Where the chart factors concerned are within 8° orb of arc, they are " conjunct" or in conjunction. A conjunction is usually a helpful energy which creates self-nurturing, inner strength and ambition. Depending on the planets involved, it also can create intensity, stress and confusion. See Combust.
This is when a planet has the same longitude as the Sun. A planet can only be observed at conjunction if there is a total eclipse or if it transits the Sun. Unlike the other planets, Mercury and Venus have two types of conjunction, inferior when the planet lies between the Sun and the Earth, superior when it lies on the opposite side of the Sun to the Earth.
In astronomy, the juxtaposition of the earth, sun, and one of the other planets or the moon, in which the angle subtended at the earth between the sun and the third body, in the plane of the ecliptic, is 0° (i.e., the third body lies either between the sun and the earth, or on the opposite side of the sun from the earth). Compare opposition, quadrature.
Conjunction is a term used in positional astronomy and astrology. It means that, as seen from some place (usually the Earth), two celestial bodies appear near one another in the sky. The event is also sometimes known as an appulse.
