Note
An astrologer's adjective, aspect plus -ed, for planets standing in one of the classic angles: conjunction, sextile, square, trine or opposition. Robert Burton's The Anatomy of Melancholy, citing Ficinus, finds those born with the Moon and Venus "mutually aspected" most prone to burning lust. The word is obsolete. Keep it for period color or writing about old astrology, with mutually marking two bodies that aspect each other.
