Do aspects have to be within orb? Is 26' Sagittarius opposite 8' Gemini or not?

I'm wondering because when I was a beginner, I always thought I had Moon opposition Mars, because my Moon is in Sagittarius and my Mars is in Gemini. However, after more studying, I learned about the orbs of an aspect (oppositions and conjunctions are usually 8' of orb- sometimes 10' maybe) so... What kind of an aspect would my 26' Sagittarius Moon make with my 8' Gemini Mars? Does it at all resemble the opposition? Or do they make no aspect at all?

Thanks!!!

there is only 30' in a sign and in a house (Equal house system) Aspects for conjunctions, oppositions and square are + or - 8'
sextiles 60' and trines 120' I allow + or - 6'
quincunxes 150' + or - 3'
now for sun and moon (hard) aspects ie: conj,square, oppositions we allow 10' these being called the 'lights' or 'luminaries'

hope this helps
