Aspects and how they affect our daily lives:

Conjunctions: Variable, they can present either positive or challenging events/situations and people depending on the signs and planets involved
Quincunx: Challenging, they can create frustrations regarding dealings with people, events or situations… the “actors” involved do not share any similarities.
Opposition: Challenging, as the “actors” are at odds with each other, but with a little work and patience compromises can be made
Squares: Challenging, due to friction between the “actors” involved, however, friction can bring about needed change… while frustrating these little guys, can help us to grow.
Sextile: Positive, the “actors” involved are happy to be together and more then happy to work together, good things are possible
Trine: Positive, good for chilling out, and relaxing, these guys are also happy to be together, but neither one may have the motivation to do anything, so it’s possible that nothing constructive will get done with these guys in play.
All planetary movement will affect those who have such active players (planets/signs) in their birth charts, the rest of us may feel the affects too, but to a lessor extent. However, those with opposite sign placements may also be affected by such movements, to lessor extent, but perhaps more then those who have no such personal chart placements.
