To orb or not to Orb: THAT is the question…

Receive a reading or consultation. I use astrology, tarot, numerology, psychic, and other tools to deliver a simply sensational session.


An Orb is something that occurs when two or more celestial objects and hypothetical points contact each other within a certain number of degrees, based on the laws of harmonics.

I use a wide orb (10-12°) for most planets and the lights and a smaller orb for fixed stars (3°) and asteroids (6°) for my person chart.  In synastry, it may need to be a tighter orb because it depends on the awareness and consciousness of the other native.

Having said this, I have these thoughts about using or not using orbs…

  • sign-to-sign can be felt
  • sign-to-sign shows up over-time
  • tight orbs are used to focus on the strongest feeling the native may have
  • tight orbs are used to reduce number of aspects to look at
  • conjunctions are most definitely felt even if having a loose (wide) orb or are sign-to-sign only
