According to the Merriam-Webster online dictionary an aspect is an "appearance to the eye or mind". In describing an aspect you describe the part of a whole you want to emphasize.
Example:
When talking about safety procedures at your workplace, you are not saying that your work is actually about security, but you are talking about the safety aspect of your work. The safety aspect summarizes all procedures and guidelines only related to the specific topic of security and safety in your work.
In computer science, an aspect is part of a program that cross-cuts its core concerns, therefore violating its Separation of concerns. I.e. it is needed to complete the program, but not necessarily specific to the domain the program is written for. Isolating such aspects as logging and persistence from business logic is the aim of the aspect-oriented programming paradigm.
Another possible view is, that every major feature of the program, core concern (business logic) or cross-cutting concern (additional features), is an aspect, and by weaving them together, you finally produce a whole out of the separate aspects.
The prism analogy describes aspects with terms from the domain of light. Like you split light into its many aspects (different colors) with a prism, you split a problem into its separate aspects. With another prism you can put the different colors back into a white ray of light, and by the process of weaving aspects you can put your solutions for the different aspects of a problem back into a solution for the whole problem.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
In astrology, an aspect is the relative angle between two heavenly bodies. These aspects are held to influence human affairs: the more exact the aspect is, the more important it is said to be. The difference between the exact aspect and the actual aspect is called the orb.As an example, if an astrologer creates a chart showing the apparent positions of the heavenly bodies at the times of a person's birth (a natal chart), and the apparent angle between Mars and Venus is 92°, the chart is said to have the aspect "Mars square Venus" with an orb of 2° (the orb is 92 minus 90 = 2).
To the ancients, aspects were either good or bad. Modern usage is different from this, with less emphasis placed on simple divisions.
Major aspects are recognized by almost all astrologers.
The list of aspects below gives the exact value and the acceptable orb of each aspect. The orbs are subject of controversy among astrologers.
The major aspects are the conjunction, opposition, trine, square, and sextile.
The minor aspects, introduced by Johannes Kepler, are considered of secondary importance. They are the quincunx, semisquare, swsquiquadrate, semisextile, and quintile.
- A conjunction is an angle of 0°. If one of the bodies is the sun or moon, a separation of 0±10° is considered a conjunction. If neither the sun or moon is involved. a concuntiong is a separation of 0±8°. This is said to be the most powerful aspect, intensifying the effects of the involved planets. If the planets are afflicted, then the conjunction will be said to intensify this affliction.
- An opposition is an angle of 180°. A separation of 180±8° is considered an opposition. Oppositions are said to be the second most powerful aspect. They are looked on less negatively than in the past, providing challenges in life, but also providing an integrating link, like a backbone.
- A trine is an angle of 120°. A separation of 120± 8° is considered a trine. The trine is said to be extremely beneficial, providing ease even if undeserved. Too many trines are said to make a person weak and unable to cope with adversity. The ancients considered an abundance of trines as a sign of evil.
- A square is an angle of 90°. A separation of 90±8° is considered a square. The square is said to indicate strain, tension, and energy, presenting challenges to achievement and an opportunity to develop strength of character.
- A sextile is an angle of 60°. A separation of 60±6° is considered a sextile. The sextile is said to be similar in influence to the trine, but only provides opportunity, requiring effort to reap its benefits.
The parallel and antiparallel are two other aspects, which refer to degrees of declination above or below the ecliptic (rather than degrees of elevation in relation to the horizon). Most astrologers do not use them because all of the planets except Mercury and Pluto are within 3 degrees of the ecliptic. They are considered strong influences.
- A quincunx is an angle of 150°. A separation of 150±3° is considered a quincunx. The quincunx is said to be of moderate but somewhat unpredictable influence, bringing strain.
- A semisquare is an angle of 45°. A separation of 45±2° is considered a semisquare. This aspect is considered a weaker version of the square.
- A sesquiquadrate is an angle of 135°. A separation of 135±2° is considered as sesquiquadrate, and is considered similar in influence to the semisquare.
- A semisextile is an angle of 30°. A separation of 30±2° is considered a semisextile. This is considered a weaker version of the sextile.
- A quintile is an angle of 72°. A separation of 72±2° is considered a quintile. This is considered similar to a semisextile, but effort is not needed to reap its benefits.
- Parallel: Same degree±0.5 This is similar to a conjunction, but usually provides benefits.
- Contraparallel. opposite Degree± 0.5 Said to be similar to the opposition, but weaker.
