A mutual reception is when two planets are in each others sign. For example, with chart that has Venus in Aries and Mars in Taurus, the two planets are considered to be in mutual reception. Knowing your rulerships is essential in spotting these. In astrology this configuration acts like a conjunction. When the two planets are in orb of an aspect, the affect is more powerful and the energies of the planets are hard to separate.
