A conjunction (0° aspect) is the most powerful aspect — two planets so close they share the same point of the zodiac, merging their energies. Effect depends on the planets: benefic-benefic (Jupiter-Venus) is generally favorable; benefic-malefic (Jupiter-Saturn) is complex; malefic-malefic (Mars-Saturn, Sun-Rahu) creates tension. The orb (allowable distance) is typically 8° for major planets in Western astrology, tighter (3-5°) in Vedic.
