Fringe area / fringe overlap
A term from astrology, defined plainly — and shown in context in your chart.
Definition
The mesh region where two planets' orbs overlap without either reaching the other's exact degree. Produces an always-on subtle undercurrent — not a true aspect, but a continuous low-amplitude exchange. Activated by fast transits passing through the overlap.
