ASPECTING PLANETS
In Western astrology we have planets in the natal chart and in transit that aspect other planets, which are called oppositions, squares, trines, and sextiles etc. The opposition is when a planet is seven houses away from another planet at virtually the same degree and what occurs is an exchange of planetary energy upon each of them. When there is a malefic planet opposite a benefic planet, this influence drains the positive qualities from the benefic planet.

In the Systems Approach, all planets have an aspect of seven houses away that in effect is an opposition. In whatever house the planet is posited in, one counts seven houses away beginning in the house the planet sits in. For example if Mars is placed in the sign Aries and this is the ascendant, then we count seven houses away from that first house, arriving at the seventh house which would be in the sign of Libra. If any planets are in Libra and within a five degree range of the planet Mars, then this planet is aspected by Mars. Whether it be a benefic aspect or a malefic aspect would have to be determined by which planets are malefic for Aries ascendant. The malefic planets for Aries are Mercury, Rahu, and Ketu. Therefore the aspect by Mars will be benefic to that planet aspected.

There are additional aspects that some of the planets carry besides the seventh house aspect. These should be remembered, as it is a very important factor in determining the natal chart.
