Some 'Astrobabble' ....

The conjunction ( for a Solar Eclipse or Lunar occultation), is when two planets are in the same degree of longitude (or within orb). It gives great strength to the energies of the interacting planets. This aspect can be either harmonious or discordant depending upon the nature of the planets involved. More can be determined about the nature of a particular conjunction by comparing the nature of the sign in which it occurs to the natures of the planets involved. A planet strongly compatible to the sign of conjunction can dominate the energies of the other planet.

Orbs
Aspects given in the calendar are listed at their exact times. This is when they are strongest but the influences are present before and after the aspect is exact. This aura of influence is called the orb. When two planets are in aspect, the faster moving planet is said to be aspecting the other. The inner planets generally move faster than the outer planets ...

Applying or Separating
Aspect must also be examined as to whether they are applying or separating. When two planets are coming together, the aspect is said to be applying. Separating occurs when the faster planet is pulling away from the aspect to the slower planet. The orb for the aspect is larger when it is applying than separating. The energies of two planets in the process of coming together into exact aspect interact more powerfully than wen they are moving apart. For example, a conjunction is zero degrees, but the influences of the two planets would begin to interact when they come as close as, say, ten degrees. They would be out of orb when the faster planet has moved six or so degrees beyond the slower.

Venus: love, beauty, receptivity.
Conjunction: blending, strength.

Aspects of the Moon
In a lunar aspect the Moon, a receptive planet, receives and reflects the influences of the other planet which affects the way we react to life. Areas ruled by the other planet will be subject to fluctuations and change. For example, conjunctions with the Moon give intense feelings and strong emotional influences in affairs which are ruled by he aspected planet

Moon To Venus Aspects

Moon conjunct Venus:
There is a good balanced outlook on life and a love of beauty. The emotional response to beauty and harmony heightens artistic abilities. Sensitivity and affections are strong as subconscious sensuality seeks emotional satisfaction.
