1-3.  SIGN ASPECTS:
 O Maitreya, now detailed are the aspects emanating from the signs Aries, etc. Every movable sign aspects the 3 fixed signs leaving the fixed sign adjacent to it.  Every fixed sign lends aspect to the 3 movable signs barring the adjacent movable sign.  And a common sign aspects the other three common signs.  The planet in a sign lends the same aspect as the sign (in which the planet is) does.

4-5.  PLANETARY ASPECTS:
 A planet in a movable sign aspects the other 3 fixed signs leaving the fixed sign next to it.  A planet in a fixed sign does not aspect the next movable sign but the remaining 3 movable signs.   The one in a common sign throws aspect over the remaining 3 common signs.  Simultaneously a planet in the aspected sign is also subjected to the aspect concerned.

6-9.  ASPECTUAL DIAGRAM:
 As depicted by Lord Brahma, I now narrate the aspectual diagram so that aspects are easily understood by a mere sight of the diagram.  Draw a square or a circle marking the 8 directions (4 corners and 4 quarters thereof).  Mark the zodiacal signs as under: Aries and Taurus in east, Gemini in the north-east, Cancer and Leo in the north, Virgo in the north-west, Libra and Scorpio in the west, Sagittarius in the south-west, Capricorn and Aquarius in the south, and Pisces in the south-east.  The aspects (as per the earlier slokas) can be shown in a square diagram or circular diagram (as per convenience).
