About 0–6° is strong, up to ~8° if one planet is angular or tightly aspected. Tighter orbs show clearer charisma and social ease.
How does it play out in synastry?
Easy appreciation and attraction. The Sun person feels admired; the Venus person feels seen. It won’t fix fundamental incompatibilities but sweetens almost everything.
