my husband's moon-jupiter are cnj it, semisxt his Sun.

(his V-M mp, which is also his S.Node-Mars mp too, is semisxt my Venus-S.Node and sxt my Saturn-Eros-Ishtar~)

mp synastry contacts need to be damn near exact for me to really notice anything... they rank up there with Arabic lots, worth knowing, but not always "on/active".

But what I've noticed is that there's an emphasis on Mercury and Saturn and their MP's when it comes to synastry..
Wonder why?

Almost every person I know has some midpoint involving Saturn or Mercury (and often Mercury / Jupiter) in aspect to something in my chart.

Yes, I often have these thoughts, too.

Actually I have two concepts of aspect-interpreation in the back of my head; I am still not sure which is the right one.

The first is based on the sign-relationship between planets.

However the second one is in alignment with the midpoint patterns and actually has the basis int he phases of the moon which is nothing else but the everchanging relationship between Sun, Moon and Earth, THE most basic parts of ANY horoscope (plus the angles and nodal axis of course).

Is it really a coincidence that the major phases of the Moon, when we notice her change, are expressions of conjunction (new Moon), opposition (full moon) and square quarter MOon)?
Or is it a coincidence that the ancients celebrated their solar festivities in accordance with the 4th (and to a certain degree 8th) harmonic aspects?

I donīt think so. What i think is that the output of energy is the strongest at these pivotal times. This is when things "happen".
The soft aspects are more like a cushion or underlying soft melody, but they donīt take centerstage. Ever.
(unless they are emphasized by a midpoint pattern. A trine of Venus and Jupiter with sextiles to Sun on the midpoint, will OF COURSE be very prominent).

And yes, I agree on the composite-thoughts. Actually, if you think about it, every opposition in the composite is just an alignment with the far midpoint, thus conjunctions and oppositions in composites are almost the same aspect, as the composite is a chart of midpoints, and every circle always has two midpoints, directly opposite each other.

In a composite the aspect I pay the most atention to is conjunction and opposition.

And also the square. That is where the action happens between two people.
A composite with only sextiles or trines?
The relationship will never get off the ground. Actually no relationship will ever get off the ground, if the progressions aren`t falling in place.

Same for a synastry. Only sextiles and trines make for people who could get along with each other well, but probably would never even notice each other.
But luckily there are just very few synastries that do not have a few dynamic aspects as well.

It is not the square that makes people incompatible; it just increases the energetic response to each other, and if the planets happen to not get along like Mars and Saturn, and you have that increased attention on both, then it is like fingernails screeching on a chalkboard.
However if the planets naturally get along, wonderful.
Which is the reason why I am never afraid of a square bnetween Moon and Venus for example. Actually Moon and Venus are so passive that they really need the pepper a square can provide.

Just my opinion obviously. But I am a Sag, and Sags are always right.

EDIT:
BTW I DO want some nice soft aspects, too. If you have just squares and oppositions it might be active and dynamic, but sometimes you want to cuddle with your beloved, too, and just kick off your shoes and relax. And that is what the sextile and trine is for.

What they do is increase the intensity of reaction. You canīt not be triggered by the other person.
Now it just depends on how you react to that.

In the case of my parents they form a tight t-square between

my Mum`s Sun opposite my Dad`s Moon, square my Dad`s Sun.

Not difficult, just very very lively.

Opposition of Sun and Moon is considered very complimentary aspect, its a very balanced aspect. Your parents didnt have Sun/Moon square, which is a difficult aspect. They had Sun/ Moon opposition and also a Sun/Sun square which is a square between two hard planets and it's easier to handle.

However I just can`t agree with the notion that a Sun-Moon-square is bad or negative.
It`s actually a very intense and strong connection on a visceral level.
Though of course the involved people are very different from each other, but these differences are usually a source of major attraction.
The only challenge I see is that it can get "too much", and the Sun-person might get too overwhelming for the Moon.

I definitely rather have a Sun-Moon-square in synastry than no aspect at all.

To summarize my thoughts on this subject:
Yes, I also think that Sun-Moon-squares can be challenging/ intense,

Attraction in the beginning, yes, but annoyance and discord after that. I prefer no Sun Moon aspect at all than Sun - Moon square. I dont like squares between luminaries, even Sun - Sun and Moon - Moon square is irritating and discordant. While the squares between luminaries may create attraction in the beggining, the discord which is inevitable after that creates space between the two partners. Not good.

As for the natal, I have Moon quinkunx Saturn exact. It is ouch, not in the big way squares can be, but it`s like it is never enough, a nagging feeling I Have to work even more and harder on these areas, they donīt fit each other, but have to find a way to work together.

I have Moon inconjunct Pluto and it's really harsh

I agree with you on your opinion about tougher aspects just bringin up "louder" attention and that its the planets that make the difference!

I have mars inconjunct pluto.
I always felt this was just as intense as mars conjunct pluto.
