Complicated answer.

!. SSRs should be read in two passes. When the SSR is read on "first pass," i.e., alone and as if it were a new natal chart, use the same aspects and orbs as for a natal chart.

2. However, when SSR goes to "second pass," and for SLRs in general, you are primarily only interested in foreground planets and their hard aspects with each other. This will almost never allow an octile to be a factor for pure mathematical reasons.

3. You also always want to consider all partile transits, at least as background influences. In this sense, they are probably effective, although the evidence is not decisive (which probably means that there is a valid effect but it's quite small compared to other factors).

Got it! Thank you once again Mr. E
