Yesterday, whilst doing some research for a post in the 'Southern Hemisphere' thread I came across the following statement;
'Modern experience shows that Pluto makes conjunctions with 17° of Latitude when tradition would rule out even a platick [within orb] aspect' (Square brackets mine)
Pursuing Dave's comment on the aspect between Saturn and Pluto in Camilla's chart I actually checked the latitude difference (6 degrees) and then on impulse Googled latitude of Pluto:
'if you see Sun at 0 Cancer and Pluto at 8 Cancer NOT
shown as conjunct, this is because the Latitude of Pluto has PUSHED the
separation between the two beyond the +/- 10 degrees of ORB allocated to
the Conjunction.'
From some comments on the program Asterpro
Which obviously contradicts the first statement
and then Last night as I settled down to read Morin on Transits, I came across the following statement:
'...if Mars with southern latitude of 3 degrees transits the opposition to the Moon with a northern latitude of 5 degrees such a transit will hold little of virtue [effect] and to one that is beyond the orb...there is no noticable virtue'. Square brackets mine
Now the same thing coming up three times in about an hour made me stop and think. I too go by longitudinal proximity when dealing with aspects and generally don't look at latitude.
The first statement basically says that a two dimensional approach is fine. The second two remind us that we live in a three dimensional universe. I wonder if anyone here actually adjusts their aspects to allow for latitude?
