The orb on this aspect is large, so the energy of this aspect is not as strong or dominant in the chart, but it still adds spice tho the mix. The s at the end of the orb stands for separating, meaning the two planets were moving away from each other. This also indicates the energy is not as intense. here is a key to other symbols used on astro.com charts http://www.astro.com/faq/fq_fh_legend_e.htm

Do you know what the Orb of the Venus square Mars aspect is? here is the wikipedia definition of Orb. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orb_(astrology) The aspect table on charts drawn in the Extended chart section give the orb for each aspect. The default Orbs used in many astro.com charts are very wide. this Link lists the orbes used on Astro.com charts. http://www.astro.com/astrology/in_aspect_e.htm

SecSip, you asked <<Does that mean that perhaps it's not as major as it initially looked? >> Not necessarily. The personal portrait has a fixed set of parameters that are not user definable like the extended chart section. The Orb's used in the personal portrait appear to be smaller than the default Orbs used in the extended chart section. The parameters used for the Personal Portrait may also give more wight to some aspects than others. I have found Astro.com to be a very valuable tool in learning astrology, and learning more about my chart, but all the services offered on the site, though some are very sophisticated, are based on computer generated charts, using pre-defined interpretations. It's Sort of a paint by number interpretation of your chart. Astro.com is not capable of interpreting steliums, and other complex dynamics in a chart. A real life astrologer with years of experience can draw out the subtleties and interconnections in your chart that a computer can not.

I ask this because a particular person as a Venus Square Mars on their chart but in their Personal Portrait their list of Major Aspects does not list this at all.

Copied from astro.com "This report is a short edition of the Personal Portrait. It is meant as a sample and advertisement for the full version of the Personal Portrait which can be ordered from Astrodienst as a downloadable E-Horoscope of about 20 - 30 pages. In the short edition, only a few, but nevertheless important aspects of your natal chart are considered." So I would say yes, this is probable.

Is it possible for an aspect to show on a chart on astro.com yet when you go to the Personal Portrait section, that aspect not be listed as a Major Aspect at the bottom? Does that mean that perhaps it's not as major as it initially looked? Thank you :) mel.
