How to Read a Birth Chart: Aspects

There are many effects of a planet when its in a sign. A planet can aspects a few signs besides the one that it is in. Eg. When the Sun is in Aries, it opposes the Libra sign as well. Some planets can have more complex aspects than normal. This applies to both natal and transit planets.

Jupiter/Rahu/Ketu Aspects

Jupiter casts a trine aspect. For example on John Lennon Chart, his Natal Jupiter is in 1 Aries. Natal Jupiter will trine 5 Leo, 9 Sagittarius, as well as opposes 7 Libra too. This means Natal Jupiter is not only in Aries 1, but it also has strong impact to 5 Leo, and 9 Sagittarius. It also opposes the 7 Libra sign.

Jupiter has 5^th, 7^th, 9^th aspects. Thus when Jupiter is in Aries, it has impact on Aries, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius signs. When Jupiter is in 2 Taurus, it has impact on 2 Taurus, 6 Virgo, 8 Scorpio, 10 Capricorn. And so on.

Rahu (North Node) and Ketu (South Node) have the same aspects as Jupiter, the trine aspects. Because Rahu and Ketu are the moon nodes and they are literally along the same axis, they also have opposition effects like Jupiter. Refer to Jupiter table for Rahu/Ketu influence.
