ShadowLeo, I always say, Composite trumps all. It's more important than synastry, especially in the long run (when you realize if this person is really right for you or not). What you don't want to have is BAD synastry. But plain/boring synastry or few aspects is fine. You will still connect strongly.

Awesome synastry attracts strongly, but if you have a bad composite with none of what i said up there, then your feelings will eventually change as you realize the other person isn't right for you and doesnt treat you the best.

If you notice, shadowleo and YTA both have the planets all conjunct in the composite. That gives a soulmate feeling like I said in my post.

Very interesting. What do you think of this? Great synastry seems to have bad composites. Do you agree/ disagree?

So a sextile between Moon and Pluto at 28' Scorpio and 7' Aquarius would count?

Also, what do you think about house placements in the composite?

I always thought this one was pretty good. I do think the synastry is better though.

I've never been able to get the images to stay permanently sucks. Don't know how others do it.

Maybe it'll work now

So -

We have Sun and Merc playing around together in a conjunction.
Moon and Venus in conjunction
Pluto squeezed in between both these pairs and all in the 8th with supportive aspects from the 10th house planets.

And the good thing about this composite is the rectangle of supportive angles with the cross of stressed aspects. For every stressed aspect there are more forgiving aspects.

Which is why I think Mars oppositions are good for flavor because it also has a lot of supportive aspects especially from Jupiter. I found from my natal chart that Mars-Jupiter sextile/trine to really heal a Mars that has squares or oppositions.

Oh cool! Thanks btw The thing is, how would you interpret good syastry and composite with good aspects, but they fall in rather platonic houses e.g 9th and 6th? I find composites a little tricky since you take two people and mix them up in a way :P I don't know if that would make everything feel too platonic or not, or whether the couple would end up focusing on those themes...maybe that's it, I'm not sure...

I never use composite to determine sexual attraction. I use composite after the synastry tells me there is sexual attraction.

Like the composite I showed above could easily be between a friend and I. But it's not. The synastry between the same person and I has the classic sexual attraction aspects.

So look at synastry first and look for -
Mars-Venus, Moon
DSC aspects
People say Pluto but I find it only activates very rarely and even then only in tight orbs and even then only when other things are at play. I find Pluto too generational to take as a sole indicator.
Mars-Mars helps but sometimes it can just mean these two people won't argue much.
Synastry house overlays in the DSC, 4th, or 8th.
Asc aspects to Mars, Venus, and maybe Moon.

Once you find these in the synastry then you look at composite. So even if you have 'platonic' houses in composite you have to keep in mind the synastry initiated a basis of sexual interest so in the composite these houses are simply showing where the two of you as a unit are expressing yourselves.

For the composite I showed we have a lot of 10th house outer planets, you might conclude that these two people are some sort of business partners w/o looking at synastry. And doesn't the 8th house also express other people's finances? But the synastry set the tone for romance so I filter my composite outlook with that in mind as well.
