conjunctions in Astrology and Vedic Astrology by Kapiel Raaj 

Conjunction simply means union of planets. In any birth chart, when two or more planets are sitting in the same house they are considered to be in conjunction. There are all types of conjunction; tight conjunction, exact conjunction, close conjunction and virtual conjunctions.

What does conjunction really do in a astrological birth chart? They give meaning to your life and set a purpose. They either take away thing or give you things. There are positive and negative effects of conjunction. Positive effects are known as Yogas and negative effects are known as Doshas.

Planets are simply energies and when two different type of energy come together they create a new type of a energy or a mutant energy. The new type of energy brings situation in your life that fulfills the destiny of that conjunction. 

How is conjunction mathematically explained?

Each zodiac sign is about 30 degrees long or you think of it as 30 feet long. In those 30 feet section you can cramp up to nine planets. Since there are 12 zodiac signs which are 30 degrees long, it equals to the 360 sky around us (12 x 30). 

In image one you see the zodiac sign of Aries which is 30 degree long, and in that zodiac sign you have two planets: Venus and Mars. Each of those planets are standing at a certain position inside the zodiac sign of Aries. The way you can tell exactly at what position they are standing at is by looking at their degrees. This way you can safely say that Venus is in the sign of Aries at 10 degrees while Mars is Aries at 15 degrees.

Planets have been moving through these invisible sections of the sky for eons. The only reason why astrologer/astronomers used drawings of scorpion, goat, ram, fish etc.. by using the start was just so they map that section of the sky with ease. If today all starts vanished from the sky, we can still detect which portion of the sky a planet is moving through, meaning which zodiac sign they are moving through. Just because the Aries symbol is ram, which was drawn by using the pointers of the starts in the sky, doesn't mean that the meaning of Aries will vanish if that start patter was to disappear in from the sky tomorrow. Starts are not important when it comes to astrology. The only thing that is important is measurement of the sky where planets are traveling in.

This is why it's so important o learn the true meaning of astrology because 100% of the population that doesn't believe in astrology, thinks that astrology only exist due to the starts in the sky. They don't realize that start are just a way to separate those thirty degree section we called the 'zodiac belt'. 

Age of planet:

•Infant

•Young

•Adult

•Old

Infant: The infant stage of a planet is between the 0:00 and 00:59:00 degree. Any planet that has less than 1 degree in your horoscope is infant. That planet is like a little baby who sleeps all day and doesn't know exactly what's going on. Those planets tend to act without direction, without maturity and without sense. However, the infant planets wake up and mature up between the age of 28-35. These planets will tend to keep people in regards to their significance and the houses they rule in your horoscope.

If Mars is infant in your horoscope and you have a Taurus ascendant, then Mars is ruling your 7th house of marriage and legal partnerships and 12th house of foreign lands, jail, hospitals, looses, hidden treasure and isolated places. If Mars is sitting in the sign of Cancer in the 3rd house with less than one degree position in your Taurus ascendant horoscope then it will do several things for you.

1. Delays the marriage

2. Make sure lazy regarding your effects in life and regarding marriage.

3. You will wander like a lost soul in regards to your siblings, higher learning and dealing with enemies. You can even go to jail due to your 'stupidity' or 'stupid action'. You will also have trouble keep a steady job, Why?

First, Mars is in the 3rd house of siblings, courage and effort. Second, Mars from the 3rd house 'aspects' the 6th house of enemies, 9th house of long distance travel, higher learning and your teachers, also, Mars aspects the 10th house of career. Third, Mars will make feel lazy towards religious beliefs, higher learning in school and long distant travel. Anytime you go to a distant land to visit or to stay, you will feel like a lost soul because Mars is infant and Mars represents energy and will power within you and since Mars is debilitated and is less than 1 degree, it's like a double edged sword. Although you might have a will power, it would be used in wrong action and wasteful actions. You will have abrupt and uncanny anger, and short temper.

Now, let's make an example out of infancy of Mars and conjunction. If let's say Mars in the 3rd house for Taurus ascendant is less than 1 degree, but, this time Venus is sitting in the 3rd house at 3 degrees with Mars, this make a 'close' conjunction between the two planets.
