Note
The -ing form does double duty. As a participle it follows be (Venus is aspecting the moon); as a gerund it works as a noun (aspecting a deity takes practice). Its live uses take an object. In astrology, one body aspects another at a set angle. In modern Pagan ritual, a practitioner aspects, or channels, a deity. The older meaning, to look at, is obsolete.
