It is about synastry, Cappy, about the comparison between natal pairs, but not in the sense of cross aspects (synastric aspects). About your example: Yes, when one has Sun/planet, the other Moon/planet, or one has Venus/planet, the other Mars/planet, we are talking about real complementarity here. For the second part of your question, no: it doesn't have to be the same aspect, on the contrary, it could be better to have a mixture, like: One has Venus conjunct Jupiter, the other has Mars sextile Jupiter. Or one has Sun trine Saturn, the other has Moon opposite Saturn. or both hard/ both soft In a way, a mixture of hard and soft is always a good part of a good synastry, with cross aspects also. (For example a DW of hard and soft as cross aspects: Venus opposite Mars and Mars sextile Venus)

Sorry, Cappy, you are right, now I've noticed you were talking about cross-aspect pairs. Of course they matter too, I will put them there as a 3rd type.IP: Logged |

Yes, I also believe more and more, that detecting these spiderwebs is what gives a chart interpretation real coherence. Of course ou have to start somewhere, with isolated aspects, but then they have to be seen in their interrelation with everything else (including planetary geometry of course) IP: Logged |

The best combination with a more difficult (psychologically) hard aspect - like Saturn or Pluto to Moon or Venus - is the other partner coming with a soft aspect between those two planets, teaching the other, by their interaction, how to integrate the hard aspect in the psyche, since soft aspects are mostly psychological while the hard ones, being actional, are sometimes more difficult to integrate in one's psychology in a harmonious manner.What I meant is it doesn't have to be "both having a hard aspect" or "both having a soft aspect". On the contrary, as Ceri says, hard and soft can be very complementary. Of course it's not bad to have hard/hard and soft/soft either, depending on the planets involved. For example, someone with Mars square Pluto can be complementary with someone with Mars square Pluto or Mars opp. Pluto, if the hard aspects are well integrated within the individual, so that they won't beat each other to death. Instead, they could have the same physical stamina and strength for a variety of activities.
150% Agreed. :thumsup: Also the last paragraph, even if it is maybe even more "manageable" or easier, if one has the soft version of the aspect, two hard aspects natally can increase the intensity a lot. I think probably oftentimes when we hear about compulsive-obsessive relationships/ attractions, there might be such 4th harmonic aspects, including a personal and an outer planet in play.

No time right now to look at anything but natal; synastry and asteroids will have to wait. We seem to have mostly the "Siamese" type, but perhaps the "key and lock" ones are enough to be significant, even though "minor" aspects seem to dominate? I'll include the orbs, as some of them are wide, but then again some of them are quite close: "Siamese" Me: Sun square Uranus (7) Him: Sun semisextile Uranus (1) Me: Sun semisquare Pluto (2) Him: Sun square Pluto (7) Me: Moon opposite Mercury (9) Him: Moon trine Mercury (4) Me: Moon semisextile Jupiter (1) Him: Moon semisquare Jupiter (1) Me: Moon bQ Pluto (1) Him: Moon bQ Pluto (1) Me: Mercury opposite Saturn (5) Him: Mercury square Saturn (7) Me: Mercury semisextile Neptune (1) Him: Mercury quincunx Neptune (2) Me: Mercury semisextile Pluto (1) Him: Mercury square Pluto (0) Me: Venus quintile Mars (1) Him: Venus conjunct Mars (3) Me: Venus quintile Uranus (1) Him: Venus sextile Uranus (2) Me: Venus semisextile Neptune (2) Him: Venus opposite Neptune (8) Me: Venus semisextile Pluto (0) Him: Venus trine Pluto (6) Me: Mars square Jupiter (1) Him: Mars quincunx Jupiter (2) "Key and Lock" Me: Mars sextile Sun (2) Him: Venus semisextile Sun (0) Me: Venus quintile Uranus (1) Him: Mars sextile Uranus (1) Me: Venus semisextile Neptune (2) Him: Mars semisquare Neptune (1) Me: Mars square Jupiter (1) Him: Venus bQ Jupiter (0) Me: Moon opposite Mercury (9) Him: Sun conjunct Mercury (7) Me: Moon opposite Venus (7) Him: Sun semisextile Venus (0)

I've studied the same patterns in natal charts for a while now, seems we're like-minded . I must note that my sister and I share much of the 'Siamese' aspects too, we're like mirrors.But here's the comparison with the Pluto man: Siamese aspects: Me: Sun conjunct Mercury in SAG (0) Him: Sun conjunct Mercury in SAG (0) In Composite Sun conjunct Mercury in SAG (no surprise ) Me: Venus sextile Moon in a Kite (0) Him: Venus quincunx Moon in a Yod (0) In Composite Venus sesquisquadrate Moon in a Thor’s Hammer Me: Sun trine Mars (2) Him: Sun square Mars (8) In the composite Sun quindecile Mars (2 – too wide maybe) Me: Venus semisextile Sun (0) Him: Venus semisquare Sun (2) In the Composite Venus conjunct Sun (6) Me: Mars square Neptune (2) Him: Mars square Neptune (3) In Composite Mars opposite Neptune (0) Me: Mars biquintile Pluto (0) Him: Mars semisextile Pluto (2) In Composite Mars trine Pluto (2) Me: Venus conjunct Pluto (3) Him: Venus square Pluto (5) In Composite Venus semisquare Pluto (0) Me: Moon trine ASC (2) Him: Moon trine ASC (6) In Composite Moon opposite ASC (5) Asteroids: Me: Briede trine Groom (1) Me: Moira sextile Briede (0) Me: Moira sextile Groom (0) Him: Briede trine Groom (2) Him: Moira sextile Briede (2) Him: Moira opposite Groom (4) Composite: Briede conjunct Moira (1), Briede trine Groom (0) Me: Priapus conjunct AntiVertex (0) Him: Priapus conjunct Vertex (2) Composite: Priapus square Vertex (1) Complimentary aspects: Me: Moon trine Saturn (8) Him: Sun sextile Saturn (0) Me: Venus sextile Neptune (0) Him: Mars square Neptune (2) We both have Venus – Mars aspecting Pluto in natal and composite. Me: Moon opposite North Node (0) Him: Saturn square North Node (2) No Composite aspects from Nodal axis to those two, although Moon trine Saturn (9) Me: Groom conjunct Isis (3) Him: Groom conjunct Osiris (1) Composite: Groom conjunct Isis (2), conjunct Osiris (9) This is too wide orb max for asteroids, so I’ll look at something else: Me: Vertex conjunct Osiris (1) Him: Vertex quincunx Isis (1) In the Composite, no aspects between Vertex and those two. Something that I noticed but not sure it means anything: Composite Osiris conjunct Pluto (0) in Scorpio, Isis conjunct Demeter (1) in Libra and they’re 11 degrees apart from each other. The midpoint between Composite Osiris/Isis is on 29 Libra/Aries axis, near Composite BML at 0 Scorpio who, in turn, quindecile Priapus 16 Taurus. Anw, the comparison in natal and in composite for me reinforce what I believe, that we attract our mirror like a chance-given to work our issues out. Of course the mirror reflects what we perceive as bad in us or else how would we notice and acknowledge them. But the mirror also reflect what we see as good, or else why would we stay and work the issues out . So it all comes down to the natal chart and how we use it.

Interesting how you made the natals vs. composite comparison, Tulipe, because this is what happens actually, the siamese aspects are projected into the composite, and the nature of the composite aspect (sign, house, type) shows how the blending of the mirroring natal aspects plays out.IP: Logged |

I'm working on a similar key-to-lock theory.In my theory, Person A has an aspect in the natal chart, and Person B has a natal planet in aspect to either of those planets in As chart. Examples: Paul & Linda Linda has Sun conj Neptune, Paul's Neptune conjuncts Linda's Neptune. key-to-lock Paul's Neptune becomes the key that unlocks the Sun/Neptune in Linda's chart. My Grandparents He has Sun conj Mars in Gemini. She has Sun in Gemini. key-to-lock Her Sun becomes the key that unlocks his Sun/Mars conjunction. IP: Logged |

Interesting theory...I'm working on some theories regarding "activation" and "triggering" too. However, I think in the cases you mention, it is hard to believe Linda and your grandpa hadn't felt their Sun conjunction until the arrival of the partner. Sun conjunct Mars, Sun conjunct Neptune would be felt with or without a partner. IMO, it has to be some standby condition with that planet to say that someone comes and triggers it. One of the classic cases would be interception, I think. Other "standbys": unaspected, singletons, planets in 12th. For example, I have both Sun and Moon directly and indirectly intercepted in my chart. Aquarius/Leo intercepted in 1st/7th. Moon - 7th house ruler intercepted in Leo 7th house. Sun, Moon's dispositor, second ruler of 7th, indirectly intercepted. I'd say in this case, the full "light" of both my luminaries should be triggered by someone: - activating Aquarius/Leo with some personal planets there. - at the same time aspecting both Sun and Moon (like with a Sun, Moon, Venus, Mars, ASC/DSC opposing/conjunct my Moon quincunx my Sun, for example) But in the case you mention, they definitely enhance each other through those conjunctions. Plus, it's a point of similarity. For example, Paul's Neptune (his artistic side) should enhance Linda's. Linda could also protect Paul's "dreamy, creative' side with her Sun and put it in a greater "light". Woman's Sun on man's Mars is sometimes tricky. At the beginning, the man feels very attracted by the woman who's Sun is on his Mars, but in time he could feel overshadowed, even a little "emasculated", if that woman is a little bit overbearing. Of course, it all depends on how dominant the woman is  IP: Logged |

I find this »theory« of complementary pairs (although in my opinion it's already a rule) reasonable and very applicable in studying synastry. Actually I've had similar logic before while checking out charts, but never in such a systematic and clear way. So hands down LeeLoo2014 for putting it down so intelligibly, you must have some Virgo in you Maybe it's not neccessarily something new, since it's always emphasised how in synastry you must also look at the two natal charts separately and find similarities, prevailing themes, planets etc, but now we finally have it summed up in a nice little scheme, so again thanks for it. And with secundary houses and all (what not!) I'm just starting to realize the complexity of synastry, we can't simply limit it to aspects between charts. So, when it comes to my personal experience, my »synastries«, there is one particular that stands out, because the »classic« synastric aspects aren't that outstanding and don't fully explain the connection I feel with him. Siamese pairs Sun Conjunct/Square Uranus Moon Sextile/Square Venus Moon Sextile/Conjunct Uranus Key-to-Lock HIS Sun conjunct Uranus/ MY Moon conjunct Uranus Sun inconjunct Chiron/Moon inconjunct Chiron Moon inconjunct Jupiter/Sun sextile Jupiter Moon sextile Uranus/Sun square Uranus Moon sextile Neptune/Sun square Neptune Venus inconjunct Jupiter/Mars sextile Jupiter Venus conjunct Neptune/Mars inconjunct Neptune Mars trine Saturn/Venus trine Saturn Mars sextile Chiron/Venus sextile Chiron Complementary synastric pairs (I hope I've done it correctly, it's actually not that easy and some things are just a repetitions from the two previous categories) (My) Sun square (his) Mercury Mercury opposite Moon Sun trine Mars Mars square Moon Sun sextile Chiron Chiron inconjunct Moon Chiron inconjunct Sun Moon inconjunct Chiron Sun square Uranus Uranus sextile Moon Venus square Sun Mars Square Moon Hehe, no need to feedback this synastry, just writing this down, exercising my rusty brain was by itself satsfactory IP: Logged |

Thank you for your kind words, Belba. Sun/Venus in Virgo here, you were right  If you're interested in the matter, there's another great thread compiled by Ceridwen called Mirrors and Complements, the link in the "famous" examples post in this thread. You have a very Uranian/Chirotic compilation the two of you. If you like, maybe you can check your 11th harmonics ( 11th harmonics and Twinflames thread) IP: Logged |

Yes, the relationship is very Uranian and Chirotic, that's why I'm so affected by it, being strongly Uranian and having both of the two "love" planets - Moon and Venus aspected by Chiron. Oh well, things are complicated, no doubt about that Once again my Virgo Mercury and Venus send thanks for the advice on further reading. IP: Logged |

While the natal conjunctions in above examples were fully integrated in the personalities, another person making an aspect to them makes that person seem attractive/familiar/comfortable. My theory is in line with the thinking that women project their Sun/Mars, and men their Moon/Venus. Both genders will behave in a manner consistent with whatever sign those planets are in, but nonetheless something will be projected. Thus, the most attractive people will aspect something and act as agents for something that already within. IP: Logged |

I agree with projection, good point. Although oftentimes nothing can compare, in terms of attraction, with a man's Sun and Mars being aspected by a woman's planets, especially the "feminine" ones (Moon and Venus) and viceversa, a woman will be very attracted to a man aspecting her feminine planets, especially with his masculine ones. But I agree with you, it all depends on the combinations already present in the natal. It is in tune with the thread, I guess one part of compatibility and attraction is similarity (projection), the other part is key-to-lock (the opposite archetype in aspect to one's planets).

There was another interesting theory, I can't find the reference, that says something along the lines:In youth, for their first relationships, women tend to be attracted to men aspecting their Mars and Sun/men tend to be attracted to women aspecting their Venus and Moon and they choose their first partners accordingly. But in time, probably as our personalities and identities evolve, become more crystallized, we become more "feminine" and more "masculine" respectively and tend to flourish as women and men, to mature and fully live our sexuality, thus in the second phase, women tend to be attracted to men aspecting their Venus and Moon, and men to women aspecting their Mars and Sun. I can't remember the author, but I'll try to find a link. IP: Logged |

Not that I didn't trust my own instinct but being a bit of an astro freak it's great to see astrology match up to what I'm feeling.
