Orb of exactitude
A term from astrology, defined plainly — and shown in context in your chart.
Definition
The peak strength point of any aspect — when the two planets reach the same exact degree neither leading nor trailing. Strong but brief; influence is actually felt across the surrounding orb range, with peak intensity at exactitude.
