What I meant was rather that placements in a composite are midpoints which exist as sort of an axis. I guess they are projected in a composite on the side which is at a shortest distance from partners' placements. But they also exist on the mirrored side.

Say, parrner1 has Venus at 0* Libra and partner2 at 30* Libra. The composite Venus would be at 15* Libra, but it could as well be placed at 15* Aries.

So, if composite Mars is at 15* Aries, it is not really opposite to the composite Venus, since composite Venus could as well be placed by the longer route on 15* Aries. I mean this place is ALSO a midpoint for the two Venuses, right?

AlmaRegulus - I know just what you mean of course.

What's the point of oppositions? Arguably, the opposition dynamic does not exist in composite charts.

I have a current composite that is all opposites (it's a particular chart figuration called see-saw/worrier pattern) and I'm thinking - well, that would/could be all the planets lined up over two consecutive houses, right.

Ie, the mid-point could be either side, right?

So what's the deal?

Anyone got insight?

I have composite Sun-Moon opposition with my first wife. What we manifested as a couple was quite different than what would manifest as a composite Sun-Moon conjunction. So, it seems that you cannot equate a Full Moon with a New Moon -- even though they are both powerful Sun-Moon connections. Consider the natal placements. My Aries 25 Sun and her Sag 13 Sun: midpoint is Aqua 19. My Gemini 30 Moon and her Libra 23 Moon: midpoint 27 Leo. Our composite Sun Aqua 19 is opposite Moon 27 Leo, which acts like a separating Full Moon in our midpoint composite.

Ok that makes sense for the moon, in theory.

The query remains though: your aqua Sun at 17 could as easily be Leo 17 - no?

Oppositions in a composite are actually conjunctions, no?

To be honest I don't really get the theory but, I just have simple opinion about it. Probably the aspects are to be inform the effect or energy or reaction of the planets to each other. Our composite Uranus and Neptune in 10th opposite our Moon in 4th. It show as people see us to independence, almost looks like impossible to be together, But in private we really close almost like "clingy" to each other. I thought it's how the opposition aspect play out cuz it will give different story if we thought composite opposition same like conjunction.
