 | | DYNAMIC or CHALLENGING aspects: This term refers to those angles between planets that are usually called "stressful" or "inharmonious," including the square, opposition, quincunx (or inconjunct), some of the conjunctions (depending on the planets involved), and some of the semisquares, sesquiquadrates, and other minor aspects (depending on the harmony of the elements and signs involved). |
 | | HARMONIOUS or FLOWING aspects: This term refers to those angles between planets that are usually called "easy" or "good," primarily including the sextile, trine, some of the conjunctions (depending on the planets involved), and some of the minor aspects (primarily depending on the harmony of the elements of the signs involved). |
 | | But they contrast with the dynamic aspects in that they are more indicative of states of being and spontaneous attunements to established channels of expression; whereas the dynamic aspects indicate the need for adjustment through effort, definite action, and the development of new channels of self-expression. |
