Con-fig·ū-rā'tion, n.

n. [Lat. configuratio.] 1. External form or figure as depending on the relative disposition of the parts of a thing. It is the variety of configurations [of the mouth] in these openings only which gives birth and origin to the several vowels. Harris. 2. (Astral.) Relative position or aspect of the planets; or the face of the horoscope, according to the relative positions of the planets at any time. They [astrologers] undertook . . . to determine the course of a man's character and life from the configuration of the stars at the moment of his birth. Whewell.
