ASPECT,Aspectus, in Perspective, Gardening, etc. See PROSPECT, EXPOSURE, etc. Aspect, in Astronomy, is used for the Situation of the Stars, or Planets, in respect of each other; or certain Configurations, and mutual Relations between the Planets, arising from their Situations in the Zodiac. See STAR, PLANET, etc. Though such Configurations may be varied, and combined a thousand Ways, yet only a few of them are considered.— Hence, Wolff more accurately defines Aspect the meeting of luminous Rays emitted from two Planets, to the Earth, either situated in the same Right Line, or including an Angle which is one or more, Quota Parts of four Right Angles. See RAY and ANGLE. Hence it follows, that Conjunction and Opposition are the two Extremes of the Aspects; Conjunction being the Beginning, and Opposition the highest Term.
See CONJUNCTION and OPPOSITION.
