I looked at star aspects including conjunction,opposition,and square.
page 96 of The Fixed Stars & Constellations In Astrology by Vivian E. Robson:
The most powerful effect of a star is exercised when it is conjunct or parallel with a planet. It is usual to take the conjunction in exactly the same way as a planetary conjunction in a horoscope, that is by the degree of ecliptic longitude affected by the star, and the parallel by its declination, and these positions are the only orthodox ones to use. It will be found, however, that the opposition is almost as powerful as the conjunction, and that the square has an undeniable influence which will be unwise to neglect.
from astrologycom site:
The fixed stars have an influence when in conjunction, opposition, square or parallel aspect with a planet, or significant point in the horoscope.
Fixed stars are also said to "cast no rays" meaning that aspects other than conjunction should not be considered, but this is by no means always the case, as demonstrated by Rosenberg.

I am not even sure if projecting stars onto the ecliptic is way to go for me, well......not with stars that are not on the ecliptic
That's why I prefer Right Ascension, Declination, and Parans.
I am starting to feel the same about 3D aspects because they take also latitude into account.
Aspects in 3D (Taking both ecliptic longitude and ecliptic latitude into account)
No more than 1 degree orb
Sun-Mercury retrograde conjunction
square Zeta Taurus Al Hecka - According to Ptolemy it is of the nature of Mars, but Alvidas suggests that of Mercury and Saturn conjoined. It gives violence, male violence and danger of accidents. [Robson*, p.125.]
square Epsilon Orion Alnilam - Alnilam with the Sun: Rash, headstrong, surly. If also culminating, military preferment and gain. [Robson*, p.128.]
square M42 Orion Nebula Ensis - Of the nature of Mars and the Moon. It causes blindness, defective sight (all nebula gives this effect), injuries to the eyes, sickness and a violent death. [Robson*, p.165.]
square Iota Orion Hatsya - Influences: According to Ptolemy the bright stars with the exception of Betelgeuze and Bellatrix are like Jupiter and Saturn. It is said to give a strong and dignified nature, self-confidence, inconstancy, arrogance, violence, impiety, prosperity in trade and particularly by voyages or abroad, but danger of treachery and poison. It was thought by the Romans to be very harmful to cattle and productive of storms. By the Kabalists it is associated with the Hebrew letter Aleph and the 1st Tarot Trump "The Juggler." [Robson*, p.55.]
square Upsilon Scorpius Lesath - it gives danger,desperation,immorality,and malevolence, and is connected with acid poisons [Robson*, p.173.]
square Lambda Orion Meissa - Influences: According to Ptolemy the bright stars with the exception of Betelgeuze and Bellatrix are like Jupiter and Saturn. It is said to give a strong and dignified nature, self-confidence, inconstancy, arrogance, violence, impiety, prosperity in trade and particularly by voyages or abroad, but danger of treachery and poison. It was thought by the Romans to be very harmful to cattle and productive of storms. By the Kabalists it is associated with the Hebrew letter Aleph and the 1st Tarot Trump "The Juggler." [Robson*, p.55.]
square Lambda Scorpius Shaula - Of the nature of Mercury and Mars. It gives danger, desperation, immorality and malevolence, and is connected with acid poisons. [Robson*, p.173, under Lesath.]
Mercury retrograde
square Lambda Hercules Maasym - According to Ptolemy it is like Mercury. It is said to give strength of character, tenacity and fixity of purpose, an ardent nature and dangerous passions. By the Kabalists it is associated with the Hebrew letter Daleth and the fourth Tarot Trump "The Emperor". [Robson*, p.47.]
square Theta Scorpius Sargas - Ptolemy makes the following observations: "The bright stars in the front of the body of Scorpio have an effect similar to that produced by the influence of Mars, and partly to that produced by Saturn: the three in the body itself . . . are similar to Mars and moderately to Jupiter: those in the joints of the tail are like Saturn and partly like Venus: those in the sting, like Mercury and Mars." By the Kabalists Scorpio is associated with the Hebrew letter Oin and the 16th Tarot Trump "The Lightning-Struck Tower." [Robson*, p.60-61.]
Venus
square Alpha Libra Zuben Elgenubi - According to Ptolemy and the old writers it is of the nature of Saturn and Mars, but later authors substitute Saturn and Venus or Saturn and Mercury, and Alvidas likens it to Mars, Venus and Saturn. It causes malevolence, obstruction, an unforgiving character, violence, disease, lying, crime, disgrace, and danger of poison. [Robson*, p.205.]
Aspects in Declination (Equatorial Latitude)
no more than 10 minute orb
Moon
parallel Gamma Cancer Asselus Borealis - The general influences of Aselli: According to Ptolemy both the Aselli are of the nature of Mars and the Sun, but Alvidas states that the North Asellus (Asellus Borealis, identified with Balaam's Ass) is like the Sun and Mars in sextile, and the South Asellus (Asellus Australis, called the Mare Ass, A Resting Place, and the Ending or Stop) like the Sun and Mars in semisquare. Together they give care and responsibility, with a charitable and fostering nature, but danger of violent death, serious accidents and burns. [Robson*, p.141.]
Mercury Retrograde
parallel Sadalmelik - According to Ptolemy it is of the nature of Saturn and Mercury; to Simmonite, of Saturn and Jupiter; and to Alvidas of Jupiter and Uranus in sextile to the Sun from Pisces and Taurus. It causes persecution, lawsuits, extreme and sudden destruction and the death penalty. [Robson*, p.200.]
Venus
parallel Delta Capricorn Deneb Algedi - According to Ptolemy it is of the nature of Saturn and Jupiter; and, to Alvidas, of Uranus and Mercury in Aquarius in opposition to Saturn in Leo. It is said to cause beneficence and destructiveness, sorrow and happiness, and life and death. [Robson*, p.159.]
parallel Alpha Libra Zuben Elgenubi - same theme as Venus square Zuben Elgenubi
a double whammy of Venus-Zuben Elgenubi
Aspects in Right Ascension (Equatorial Longitude)
no more than 1 degree orb
Mars
conjunct Beta Perseus Algol - '50 - Of the nature of Saturn and Jupiter. It causes misfortune, violence, decapitation, hanging, electrocution and mob violence, and gives a dogged and violent nature that causes death to the native or others. It is the most evil star in the heavens. [Robson*, p.124.]
conjunct Alpha Cetus Menkar (The Sea Monster's Jaw) - '42 - According to Ptolemy it is of the nature of Saturn; to Simmonite, of Mars; and, to Alvidas, of Venus and the Moon. It causes disease, disgrace, ruin, injury from beasts, sickness, and loss of fortune. [Robson*, p.176.]
conjunct Rho Perseus Gorgona Tortia (The Third Gorgon) - '04 - seems to be similar to Algol but weaker
Algol has a seriously bad reputation, and Mars happens to be conjunct Algol in Right Ascension! Mars is conjunct three stars linked to mythological monsters in Right Ascension.
Note:
When Sun is in the last degree of Sidereal Aquarius and entering Sidereal Pisces, it squares stars in Scorpius and Orion
