DEFINITION
The third version of translation is when the two main significators are not in any form of
major aspect. They can be brought together by the action of one of the fast moving
planets, usually the Moon, separating from one significator and applying to the other by
major aspect within the moiety of orbs.
Although the three outer planets are never used as main significators, they can be
involved in translations of light.
Examples
Example 1: Venus ruling the ascendant at 26 Aries and Jupiter ruling the 8th house of the
quesited at 7 Taurus are not in major aspect. The Moon at 29 Leo has separated by trine
from Venus and applies by trine to Jupiter transferring the light between the two planets.
Venus and Jupiter can now be judged as if in major aspect, resulting in a positive answer
to the question.
Example 2: Jupiter ruling the ascendant at 10 Sagittarius and Saturn ruling the 3rd house
of the quesited at 24 Pisces are not in major aspect. The Moon at 16 Sagittarius has
separated by conjunction with Jupiter and applies by square to Saturn transferring the
light between the two planets. Jupiter and Saturn can now be judged as if in major aspect,
resulting in a positive answer to the question.
The Moon can also transfer the light of Venus at 15 Libra to Saturn, although Venus is not
a significator.
Example 3: Mercury ruling the ascendant at 17 Capricorn and Venus ruling the 2nd house of
the quesited at 24 Aquarius are not in major aspect. The Moon at 19 Aries has separated by
square with Mercury and applies by sextile to Venus transferring the light between the two
planets. Mercury and Venus can now be judged as if in major aspect, resulting in a
positive answer to the question.
The Moon can also transfer the light of Mars at 15 Sagittarius to Venus, although Mars is
not a significator.
