Orbs

In astrology, aspects between planets or advanced points are given a margin in which they have an influence. For example, although the trine aspect is 120°, two planets that are 125° (or 115°) apart are still considered to be in trine aspect.

Based on the type of horoscope (natal, solar, transit,...) we use the recommended orbs as following:
