How wheel distance is read
Whole-sign distance is the smaller count moving either direction around the twelve-position wheel. Multiplying that count by 30° gives the listed nominal separation. Exact natal aspects use the two Sun positions instead. Element relationship records same element, Fire–Air, Earth–Water, or another combination; modality relationship records only same or different.
