The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.48°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.

♀ Venus ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 1.02°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☉ Sun ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 1.17°

♃ Jupiter △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 1.76°

Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
