Planets in a birth chart are arranged in a certain order and have certain aspects with respect to other points of the horoscope and in this way they define a person’s character and destiny. Since ancient times 3 personal planets (Sun, Moon and Mercury), «fair» planets (Venus and Jupiter) and «evil» planets (Mars and Saturn) had been distinguished. After the discovery of new planets, Neptune, Uranus and Pluto were also attributed to «evil» planets. But in the modern astrology it is not customary to consider planets completely fair or evil. Their quality is different in every certain horoscope and is defined by various aspects i.e. by certain positions with respect to other planets.

There are harmonious and negative aspects between planets. Harmonious aspects ensure the pudding-bag and good luck in life, great abilities and possibility for the fulfillment.
Negative aspects provide the inner strain and dissatisfaction, longing to change the exciting way life is going on. In case there are many negative aspects in the horoscope, a person’s life is not easy and he shall jump over hurdles and cultivate his abilities.
