Yod, focal planet Moon

You have a Yod planetary aspect pattern in your chart, also known as the 'finger of God'. This pattern consists of two different planets forming Inconjunct aspects of 150` to a third, or focal, point. Usually there will be a marked emphasis on the area of life represented by this focal point, which may be one planet, or two or more in conjunction. You may have physical or psychological problems associated with the expression of the energies of the focal planet or planets, creating a subtle form of tension in your life. Your lesson is to transform the expression of these energies along more positive lines.

The placement of the composite Moon defines the core emotional focus of your relationship. It indicates the most sensitive area between you.

With the composite Moon in the Fourth House, your relationship is based on a strong emotional bond. You have quite a lot of emotional investment with each other, and may depend on each other for emotional security. You also may possess a house together, or mutually invest in real estate. At its best, your relationship evokes an emotional intensity that forges creativity and wakefulness. In essence then, this connection is less about retreat and more about recharge. You can enjoy the strong emotional bond that you have with each other and still keep the partnership energizing and fruitful.

The composite Moon in Aries indicates a relationship that provides a strong and solid base for a wide range of emotional expression between you. In your relationship, emotions are likely to be keenly felt, direct and spontaneous. You two tend to have an ardent feeling nature with inclinations toward quick bursts of passion, expressing your independence and impulsiveness. You may be the first ones to respond to a problem when it comes your way. Regardless of how you operate on your own, you tend to jointly react to situations with action rather than reflection. In this relationship, you may find you can hold space for each other so you can each share pent up feelings from experiences in the outside world. You may find you also have a strong competitive streak when you are together, which, combined with an attack-first attitude, may reveal subtle feelings of insecurity if carefully examined. Your relationship will tend to evoke in each of you a strong sense of independence and great physical daring and courage.

Yod, focal planet Pluto

You have a Yod planetary aspect pattern in your chart, also known as the 'finger of God'. This pattern consists of two different planets forming Inconjunct aspects of 150` to a third, or focal, point. Usually there will be a marked emphasis on the area of life represented by this focal point, which may be one planet, or two or more in conjunction. You may have physical or psychological problems associated with the expression of the energies of the focal planet or planets, creating a subtle form of tension in your life. Your lesson is to transform the expression of these energies along more positive lines.

Pluto in the composite chart reveals the area of your shared experience where you will encounter your mutual drive for power and which will be transformative for the relationship.

Pluto in the Eighth House (or sign) gives a relationship with a focus on powerful emotions that arise between you, and on behaviors of dominance and self-reliance. You may have strong desires in the context of this relationship and find that you are single-minded about pursuing them. You seem to feel more deeply when you are together, and you may have an almost psychic awareness of each other's energy. As a partnership, you may also exhibit a tendency to manipulate others for your own purposes. In order to grow, both of you need to turn away from manipulating others and use your power to regenerate your own lives. You win when you learn to empower each other and enable each other's self-reliance, and when you realize that you have come together for purposes of healing.

Composite Pluto in Virgo (or the sixth house) correlates to a relationship where there is a need to sacrifice to the other and to the relationship. As a partnership, you may also experience a strong desire or even a compulsion to be of service to the general good or to others that you encounter. You may find you are working through very deep-seated unconscious dynamics of being truly helpful and available to others. There may be power struggles between you on these issues, or of who gets to be of service to the other, and who gets to benefit from that service. You may have as a survival instinct for the relationship a mutual desire to bring integrity and expansion into the area of shared service and to confront any limitations within you that prevents this from happening. When you work together for greater individual consciousness in this area, you benefit not only yourselves but also others that you come into contact with, as you move toward a more conscious and freely given act of sharing.

Important Features

Composite Saturn in Aquarius (8° Aqu 45') Composite Saturn in the First House

Saturn in the composite chart reveals the area of your shared experience where you will encounter limitations and build long-lasting success through trials of accomplishment.

Saturn in the First House (or sign) symbolizes strong ties between you, with also feelings of limitation in what you are trying to create together. You may feel blocked in some way in your capacity for self-assertion in your relationship, and yet as time goes by there is likely to be a lasting sense of value and connection, since what takes the most time to build up is also the most durable. Together, you have excellent reasoning power. You are likely to be reserved with each other, although when you do open up, a great deal of concentrated exchange becomes possible. As a twosome, you desire to better yourselves, and may achieve more as a partnership than either one would be able to operating on your own. This relationship brings out a side of each of you that is eager for success in the world of tangible results; if you have the perseverance to stick it out then eventual triumph is more than possible.

Composite Saturn in Aquarius (or the eleventh house) indicates that in your relationship there may be a blockage or a concentration of energy around socializing in groups and relating to the larger community. This is likely to become an important focus, and over time may create a powerful bond between you. You also have a strong goal orientation as a partnership. One of the main lessons of this relationship is to transform a narrow view of social acceptance on a personal level into a broader vision, one in which you both can meaningfully participate in creating a sharing society that has transcended the current level of materialism.

Composite Sun in Scorpio (4° Sco 23' 24") Composite Sun in the Tenth House

The placement of the composite Sun defines the core identity of your relationship, and the place where it finds its greatest vitality. It gives you a sense of the predominant flavor of the relationship.

With the composite Sun in the Tenth House, you and your partner likely share a common interest in matters practical and ambitious. It is likely that you know exactly where this relationship stands and where you are going with it. This is an excellent placement for professional or business partnerships. Talking about the world and your place in it is easy. The challenge is to remember to attend to your shared personal needs as well. If you can balance your need for outer achievement with your need for personal fulfillment, this connection will work well for you.

With the Composite Sun in Scorpio, this relationship centers on transformation and regeneration, whether through a mutual interest in sexuality or in some other equally powerful death-rebirth process. Your joint will as a partnership is strong, and you let nothing stand in your way. Together, you are likely to understand and work well with group dynamics and the public in general. When you put your heads together, you tend to become shrewd judges of other people's motives. You also have a good sense of shared commitment. There are likely to be strong emotions in each of you that are brought up by your interaction together, and it may help to break up the intensity with some regular laughter. Although this relationship may evoke suffering, the pain that is generated will eventually lead to an experience of profound transformation in each of you. Although you may use your keen sense of perception with each other toward selfish and sometimes manipulative ends, the more in line you are with your own higher natures, the more this relationship will serve transformative ends for each of you and help you to participate in the metamorphosis of society itself.

Composite Jupiter in Pisces (6° Pis 42') Composite Jupiter in the Second House

Jupiter in the composite chart reveals the area of your shared experience where you will find mutual good fortune and faith in positive outcomes.

Jupiter in the Second House (or sign) magnifies your relationship's emphasis on the material side of existence and it's careful approach to growth. You enjoy possessing the good things in life together, which are also likely to come easily for you. You have the gift for "growing" money. This placement is especially good for financial or business partnerships. You rarely take chances, and are so secure in your material well being that you seem not to emphasize this factor, likely having more of an interest in personal and cultural values. In a more esoteric sense, this placement of big, fiery Jupiter does well in step-by-step fashion, creating a climate of sure and steady growth within your relationship, and an aura of dependability around you as a duo. You may not get there as fast as other relationships seem to, but you trust that you will get there, and largely speaking, you do. You two and your community can rest confident believing that you know who you are, and where you are going. You walk your talk and you walk it slowly, easily and carefully, so that in the long run, like the tortoise that you emulate, you will get the prize.

Composite Jupiter in Pisces (or the twelfth house) gives you a quiet and unassuming relationship that grows very powerfully with emotional tending. You value being good and kind, and these values are magnified by your relationship with each other. You also tend to be considerate, friendly and easy-going in the context of this relationship. If you are business partners, you likely need to feel an emotional sympathy in order for your work to be satisfying to you. Together, you have your own personal code of conduct to which you are true, no matter what public opinion may be, or convention may dictate. As a partnership you tend to work behind the scenes, and do not seek personal glorification from your actions, but are content to do what you do because it is helpful to other people. You may jointly suffer from being overly sensitive to the needs of others, or seek to retire with each other from the casual cruelties of the world at large.

Composite Chiron in Pisces (8° Pis 30') Composite Chiron in the Second House

Chiron in the composite chart reveals the area of your shared experience where you will encounter patterns of wounds and deep connection and where eventual healing and empathy will occur.

Chiron in the Second House (or sign) indicates a relationship that provides an opportunity for you to face deeply held wounds with regard to your ability to attain sustenance and maintain possessions. With this placement of Chiron, physical resources challenge your relationship. One or both of you may have seen everything taken away at one time or another, or you may have risen above challenging circumstances materially, demonstrate a painful attitude toward material well being. Perhaps you must face fears that possessions dominate the life of the relationship. Where others are able to count on their resources and trust that they will have what they need, either materially, or physically, or within their own psyches, you may find yourselves suspicious that what you have will not last. Even if it is more than adequate by some standards, it seems somehow not enough to satisfy you. These feelings may also spill over into deep issues regarding the relationship's core values, or that which defines it in terms of what you both choose to support and give credence to. You may feel at sea in this area, rather than on stable ground, not sure about what you do and don't find attractive. These ambivalent feelings toward material possessions and values may find their roots in early childhood relationships, in which one or both of you perhaps experienced pain getting what you wanted for yourselves, independent of those who had authority over you. Sometimes these issues are so painful that it is easier not to deal with them directly. Getting in touch with these deep and partially repressed feelings is of ultimate importance for the success of the relationship. When you can confront the parts of yourselves and your relationship that are painful and scary, and begin to integrate the feelings that you have buried away, you will become more in charge of your relationship and the course that you each take through life as well.

Composite Chiron in Pisces (or the Twelfth House) indicates a relationship that provides an opportunity for you both to face and heal deeply held wounds regarding your vital force to be at home in the world of physical manifestation. In this relationship, you may notice places where you feel alienated from rest of mankind, and more at home in a world of fantasy than in what you laughably call "the real world". Talents may arise that come from beyond this world, and you may discover renewed passion for music, poetry, or spirituality. You may be reminded of painful episodes from early childhood that drove you into a world of your own. You have likely come to be quite at home in your inner world, and your challenge is to take advantage of this relationship to come out with style and dignity, with your inner cosmos intact. Again and again, when you attempt to be a part of it all, just like everyone else, you find it doesn't quite work. You may work with other people, helping them to be peaceful and comfortable in connecting their own lives to a higher truth, without ever really getting it yourself. Of course one is tempted to blame oneself for this sort of failure to connect. However, if you can examine the deep emotions associated with withdrawal from the world you can begin to operate from a feeling of wholeness that leads you to make your own true way. As you get in touch with the part of yourself that has been carefully hidden away, defended from the pressures of consensus reality, you can come to a sense of peace with your darker, more hidden self. As your relationship matures in this process of integration, you will both find a way to be a part of the world at large, to participate and share in its wonders and its disasters, without giving anything up. This difficult transformation is vital to your emotional health and well being, and makes it possible for you both to eventually reach out to others as well and help them integrate their shadows into similar wholeness.

Sun, Moon, Rising Sign Features

Capricorn Rising

The composite Rising Sign is the image that this partnership presents to others and characterizes the nature of the relationship.

Composite Capricorn rising relationships have an ambitious and practical orientation, with an excellent sense of social responsibility. Your capacity to persist at achieving your goals as a partnership is unmatchable. Capricorn represents the accomplishments of the material world: prestige, honor and public success. Saturn is your ruling planet, and your relationship may appear controlling to other people. Together, you tend to be more aware than most partnerships of social mores, almost to the point of over-concern. As dogged as you may be in achieving your goals, you will remain careful to do what others expect of you. Your natural caution allows the two of you to advance slowly and steadily to the top. Something about the relationship itself may put you under enormous pressure to perform, and in it, you may feel responsible for those around you. Your aloofness with the rest of the world as a partnership may also function as a way to insulate you from close contact with others, and to keep you safe. When your relationship is at its best, you find yourselves striving for others' welfare, as well as your own, for in its highest form, your mission is nothing less than to serve society itself by your joint actions.

Composite Jupiter in strong sextile (within 2.2 degrees) with Ascendant

The planetary energies flow together, open into new possibilities, new connections.

This aspect between Composite Jupiter and Ascendant signifies an optimistic and growthoriented relationship, with high ideals and good vitality. As a partnership, you are spiritually motivated, and possess a quiet strength which is invariably helpful to others and which takes you far in the world. This is an excellent aspect for success especially in a business relationship, or in a romantic relationship or friendship that has an additional career orientation. As a partnership, you might only have to guard against being overly optimistic at times, for your enthusiasm for life takes you far. Honors and material success accompany your union. You are attracted to higher learning, and the fine arts, and you are courageous in your approach to shared goals. You do not necessarily reach out to others, being content with your own society, although you will undoubtedly garner respect for your presence as a pair, and together you make loyal friends and few enemies. You are possessed of similar outlooks, and are likely to share a system of belief. Your philosophical common ground may prove to be a mainstay of your connection with each other.

Composite Pluto in strong trine (within 1.6 degrees) with Ascendant

The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is easy and beneficial.

This aspect between Composite Pluto and Ascendant signifies a transformative and depthoriented relationship. Your connection has its dark moments, but is fundamental in energizing your lives and allowing you to move through some very significant issues together. You are likely to be engaged in some form of power struggle with each other in this relationship, which can be difficult to handle gracefully, but which can also be a blessing in bringing up the hidden places within each of you and exposing them to the light of conscious awareness. As a partnership you have strong desires, and are intent on pursuing them. Whether a personal or professional one, your relationship will likely go through many changes as you evolve in your understanding of yourselves and each other. There may be boundary concerns that come up between you, or questions of who is calling the shots at any one moment, and these may cause conflict as you work them out together. You benefit from paying close attention to how you respond with your inner voice to each of these situations, preferring to deal with your own needs and reactivity first and foremost rather than playing the blame game, which is essentially a cop out from handling your own issues. By witnessing your feelings and respecting your partner you may achieve much in the way of evolving the relationship between you, and to advance your own personal evolution as well.

Composite Chiron in strong sextile (within 0.4 degrees) with Ascendant

The planetary energies flow together, open into new possibilities, new connections.

This aspect between Composite Chiron and Ascendant signifies a relationship with a great deal of healing potential. There may be difficulties that come up between you for greater understanding and eventual acceptance and healing, and you will also encounter sympathy from your partner for your own process, enabling you to move forward into wholeness more fully. Chiron is called "the wounded healer" because it represents the archetype of imperfection and loss which when integrated leads to compassion and understanding of your own and others' suffering. In the past, one or both of you have probably experienced pain and frustration related to your self-concept, or there could have been trauma in your early years concerning parental protection which may have been withdrawn too suddenly or misapplied, or perhaps similar issues that arose with peers. These types of early traumas often lie buried behind walls of denial, and only when they are accepted and brought to conscious awareness can true healing begin to take place. There are long-buried issues that may come up for you with this particular partner where you can make enormous progress as you work through them realistically and honestly. The empathy and the understanding of your own and your partner's issues that emerge from such a deep relationship will serve you well later in life. You are likely as a partnership to be interested in the helping professions, and may eventually assist others in reaching better levels of acceptance and integration of their own dark places.

Composite Sun in sextile (within 4.5 degrees) with Ascendant

The planetary energies flow together, open into new possibilities, new connections.

This aspect between the Composite Sun and Ascendant signifies a relationship that is strong-willed and generous in regard to the impact that it makes in the world. As a partnership, you are likely to be dramatic and assertive, also creative, self-confident and perhaps a bit self-indulgent. You are a mutual fan club for each other. When you entertain or make a social impact as a couple, you expect to be the center of attention, and often are. Your relationship has great energy and staying power that goes a long way to ameliorating any other deficits that might exist. The prospects are excellent for your partnership, since you are open to new experiences and to the world around you, while staying centered as a unit.

Composite Moon in square (within 5.4 degrees) with Ascendant

The planetary energies conflict; internal and creative tensions bring rich rewards through effort over time.

This aspect between the Composite Moon and Ascendant signifies a nurturing and protective relationship with some potential for emotional conflict. You have possibly come together around issues of security and your home and family, for these are important to both of you. You must take care that these issues do not dominate to the extent that you lose objectivity about the rest of the relationship and the more goal directed reasons for being with each other. Others see you very clearly, and the connection between you, since when you are together you show your emotions readily. You also may experience emotional ups and downs in your connection with each other, and one or both of you alternately could tend to be passive, preferring to immerse yourself in your feelings, while the other takes the lead. Whether you find yourselves a romantic relationship or a friendship, you tend to act from an almost instinctual basis, and are basically protective and caring of one another, although there could be times when you feel that protection is unavailable. There is a tendency in this relationship for individuality and consciousness to get lost in the shuffle, and you benefit from shedding the light of conscious reason on your habitual patterns, and working toward greater focus on your individual goals.

Composite Saturn in semi-sextile (within 0.1 degrees) with Ascendant

The planetary energies attract each other, require effort, allow entry of new information.

This aspect between Composite Saturn and Ascendant signifies a responsible relationship, but with perhaps some serious limitations to contend with. As a partnership, you are very aware of the ties that bind you together, and you also may feel stifled by them at times. You have some difficulties to deal with in sustaining the relationship, but working through difficulties gives your connection with each other a strength that it might not otherwise possess. On the plus side there is likely to be an achievement orientation to your partnership that can take you far toward established goals, as long as you can mutually agree on what those are.

Composite Sun in strong trine (within 2.3 degrees) with Jupiter

The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is easy and beneficial.

This aspect between composite Sun and Jupiter indicates an optimistic and generous relationship filled with good spirits and abundant energy. Together, you tend to approach to life in a quietly spiritual way. You share good executive abilities, and when working together make capable leaders. Together you have the ability to dream large, and then actually pull it off as you were planning, time and again. You are likely to acquire what you need materially relatively easily, the more so because you have natural and simple tastes, so that your wants are few. This might almost seem too easy, and some lessons of appreciation will help, so that you don't take each other or the gifts of this relationship for granted. Good fortune follows your relationship along your shared path.

Composite Sun in strong sextile (within 2.0 degrees) with Uranus

The planetary energies flow together, open into new possibilities, new connections.

With this aspect between composite Sun and Uranus, your relationship has an eccentric and uniquely idealistic quality. This aspect indicates an independent and strong-willed relationship. You two are determined to do things your own way, and love freedom from conformity. Together, you tend to explore all things new and unusual as a matter of course. You don't have to go out of your way to find them; they tend to find you first. You likely support each other to start new projects, or make major changes in your lives, and you share the gift of transforming yourselves without completely eliminating previous foundations. Together you tend to rebel against the norm, and generally do so with style. You have the capacity to support each other in inventing new approaches and developing original thinking. This way you help each other to push the envelope of conventionality. Your penchant for the new, the unusual, and the downright quirky will add much adventure to your life together. You two are ultramodern in outlook, and tend to bring new ideas into being on behalf of your larger community. Your task is to fully express your visionary impulses together and make them more concretely available in your own lives, and in the larger world.

Composite Sun in opposition (within 3.4 degrees) with Venus

The planetary energies are polarized; outer events stimulate their interaction; integration is the challenge.

This aspect between composite Sun and Venus indicates affection and closeness between you with a potential clash of values. It is likely that you two bring distinctly different loves and tastes to your relationship. You are likely to experience each other with a fascination not unlike viewing an exotic creature up close for the first time. Here, what may be fascinating at first can get challenging later. It can be of help to create a communication system that allows you to gently address your differing needs in a way that they can be heard and responded to. You benefit when you learn to take turns with each other, to compromise and to experiment with weaving your differing ways into a wholly new and synergistic form.

Composite Sun in square (within 4.4 degrees) with Saturn

The planetary energies conflict; internal and creative tensions bring rich rewards through effort over time.

This aspect gives a deepening and concentration, or a blockage, in the capacity for the relationship to express itself. You may find yourselves wondering from time to time, are we committed or not? This relationship tends to go through periods of low energy, when it seems to go nowhere, or when you just don't see each other much at all. Other times, you two can create one of the most ambitious teams around, and may actually leave some mark behind in the world. Look to the placement of the signs and houses involved as to how this ambition might materialize. When your relationship experiences a period of depression or dormancy, it benefits you to learn to let go and stay positive, trusting that it will pick up again when the time is right.

Composite Sun in sextile (within 6.1 degrees) with Pluto

The planetary energies flow together, open into new possibilities, new connections.

This aspect between composite Sun and Pluto signifies a powerful intensity of connection between you. This relationship is likely to change your whole life. Pluto's presence may express itself as an almost compulsive joint urge for self-transformation in each of you, and the relationship may itself go through many changes, as you transform both individually and in the way that you express yourselves as a unit. This may be a large part of the reason that you have come together, and together you have tremendous capacity for regeneration and rebirth. There is a strong force magnetizing your involvement with each other and an inclination to stay absorbed in the relationship as long as it lasts. You may have experienced a fated quality when you first met, a feeling of recognition that you perhaps belong to the same tribe, or come from the same far away place. In a business partnership, you tend to drive hard, and can work single-mindedly as a team to pursue joint goals and to easily establish your place in the market. Whatever the basis for your relationship, it benefits you to train your considerable energy on the cultivation of the yin qualities of vulnerability, surrender and cooperation. As you learn how to get out of your own way and to treat each other with kindness, you surrender control while maintaining your powerful focus in a more conscious manner. Then your relationship can become a focal point for the transformation of society itself.

Composite Sun in trine (within 4.1 degrees) with Chiron

The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is easy and beneficial.

With this aspect between your composite Sun and Chiron you have a relationship with a great degree of healing potential. You are likely to experience painful realizations through this partnership, and be able to heal important issues of your own as a result. Chiron is called "the wounded healer" because it represents the archetype of imperfection and loss which when integrated leads to compassion and understanding of your own and others' suffering. Its aspects, such as this one, crop up with great regularity in deep and profound connections such as marriage. The empathy and the understanding of your and your partner's issues that emerge from such a deep relationship will serve you well later in life. There could have been trauma in your early years concerning your parenting or parental protection may have been withdrawn too suddenly or misapplied, and this is the type of issue that you and your partner are striving to bring to conscious understanding in the context of this relationship. There will perhaps be painful situations to work through, but if you have patience and stay the course the results will also be entirely rewarding. You have the chance, through this partnership, by telling the truth at all times and staying available for your own feelings, to begin to integrate your past experiences, no matter how painful they may have been, and no matter how painful these feelings continue to be for you at present. Since you have come through the fires of difficulty you are likely as a partnership to be interested in the helping professions, and may eventually assist others, as well as yourselves, in reaching better levels of acceptance and integration of their dark places.

Composite Moon in opposition (within 4.4 degrees) with Mercury

The planetary energies are polarized; outer events stimulate their interaction; integration is the challenge.

This aspect between composite Moon and Mercury brings a verbally expressive and creative quality to your relationship, and also may indicate that the thinking and feeling functions between you have a tendency to clash. You two have a gift for expression, both with each other and as a partnership in your dealings with the larger world. Your powerful thinking and fertile imagination lend a witty and entertaining twist to your joint expression, and you share a knack for putting your ideas into words. It may also be the case that at times between you thoughts and emotions will not share the stage, but one or the other will predominate. When thoughts take over emotions, emotional mishaps could occur and attempts to clear things up end by taking much longer than it took for the mishap to occur in the first place. When emotions take over thoughts, you may find yourself saying things with an uncharacteristic intensity that surprises you both, or you may also find yourselves trying to reform each other. The key here is to stay on top of difficulties each time they arise, and to be careful to take responsibility for your own issues. There is a creative tension to the verbal and emotional realities of your relationship that can be a force for powerful expression, as long as you can find necessary common ground in your shared desire for love, understanding and acceptance between you.

Composite Moon in sesquiquadrate (within 1.3 degrees) with Mars

The planetary energies conflict in determined subtle tension; control is required.

This aspect between composite Moon and Mars brings a powerful emotional and potentially argumentative presence to your connection with each other. Emotional conditions easily influence you. The more demanding parts of your interactions together may challenge the supportive elements of your relationship. Together you tend to experience a sometimes difficult and at other times harmonious give and take, meeting each other in profound and penetrating ways. You may behave with a great deal of intensity toward one another. You can be fierce and fiery with each other in one moment, and passionate and poetic in the next. You tend to think deeply together, but you may find yourselves intolerant if you suspect that the other partner is somehow not taking your feelings into account. You may as a unit experience a restless, nervous tension, and it benefits you to engage in constructive activity together as an outlet. You may find yourselves saying things before you think them through and it is best to remember to exercise a modicum of control over emotional outbursts. It's never a good idea to completely hold back your feelings however, since they will eventually find an outlet with even greater intensity. In this relationship, it bodes well to cultivate a regular practice of forgiveness so you can easily move through impulsive disagreement, and to attempt to understand what's underneath your behavior and find creative ways to move it. It benefits you to learn to create a safe container with each other so that when one of you fires off, the other can hold space for the venting. At its best, this relationship generates an original, active and brilliant mentality.

Composite Moon in sextile (within 5.5 degrees) with Saturn

The planetary energies flow together, open into new possibilities, new connections.

With this aspect between composite Moon and Saturn, your relationship has a responsible, centered and hard-working basis that also might be experienced as a blockage of emotional connection between you. With this aspect, you may provide each other with the right blend of encouragement and stability to make each of your own lives happen. Initially this relationship may bring out a caution or reserve in your make-up, along with a sound emphasis on the practicalities of life. Over time, however, this same energy will tend to provide you both with a stable and enduring emotional bond. When you feel a tendency to slow down or stop in your expression with each other, it benefits you both to push forward. You will likely be surprised at just how much more you get out of the relationship, and of life, in the process.

Composite Moon in inconjunct (within 1.1 degrees) with Neptune

The planetary energies do not flow smoothly, one or the other predominates; discrimination must be employed.

With this aspect between composite Moon and Neptune, your relationship has a powerful emotional basis stemming from a high degree of sensitivity between you. You tend to be very focused on your joint ideals: your ideal environment, your ideal romantic circumstances, perhaps without ever finding the perfect reality. Together you possess an ethereal quality, noticeable to others, and a strong imagination with a propensity for withdrawing from the world from time to time into internal fantasies of your own making. You may need to be careful not to deceive yourselves about what is going on between and around you or to forget to take care of the practicalities of life on this planet.

Composite Moon in inconjunct (within 3.7 degrees) with Pluto

The planetary energies do not flow smoothly, one or the other predominates; discrimination must be employed.

This aspect between composite Moon and Pluto signifies a powerful emotional intensity in the connection between you and highlights a moody and introspective quality in your relationship. You may each exhibit something of a power drive, especially in domestic areas or in how you give to and nurture each other. These may be symptoms that reflect hidden insecurities that rule your behavior from largely unconscious levels of your personality. This relationship challenges you to transform your sense of insecurity by coming to terms with your survival issues based on deep, safe exploration.

Composite Moon in opposition (within 4.7 degrees) with Midheaven

The planetary energies are polarized; outer events stimulate their interaction; integration is the challenge.

The planetary energies attract each other, require effort, allow entry of new information.

With this aspect in your composite chart you are likely to be engaged in a relationship in which there is difficulty and also great healing potential around issues of authority. It may be that one or both of you have had painful experiences as a child, when you were forced to submit to an arbitrary authority or limitation of some kind. Perhaps you had the experience of a bad father. The relationship with your father was damaged in some way; it was something you had to get away from, either from his overbearing nature or from his neediness and lack of presence. These wounds can manifest in adult life as an attachment and also great difficulty with authority. For example you may endlessly achieve positions of authority and then have second thoughts about it. As you continually work through whatever arises in your daily interactions with each other, these types of issues may come up for acceptance and eventual healing. Since the powerful associated emotions may lie below the level of your ordinary awareness, your relationship connection may help to bring them to consciousness, and eventually acceptance. As a partnership, you may also wind up working these issues with others. You may be the ones to re-work the structure of society itself in some way, or to become advisors or leaders in the social sphere, perhaps in connection with organizations devoted to new age healing techniques. You may feel the need to redeem yourselves and your families; to restructure what you have internalized from your heritage. A better level of integration is possible, producing a more self-assured and balanced personality, independent from parental influences or even of those of society.

This placement in a composite chart signifies that within this relationship you each have a desire to fulfill yourself by means of forming a close partnership attachment. In the past, you may have been concerned with yourself alone, but now you must make the transition to being mainly concerned with each other.

You may have difficulties in forging this important partnership connection with each other, but there are also great rewards to be gained in this area.

But in the context of this relationship you find that your focus bends toward actually manifesting these into form.

As a partnership you likely agree on the powerful effect of Spirit in your lives, and in seeing things though a different lens than that of consensus thinking. One or both of you may also have been wounded in your inherited beliefs in some way; perhaps in your early life you may have been forced into relationship with some sort of spiritual community to which you did not feel a deep bond. If so, this issue remains to haunt you to a greater or lesser extent in your adult life, and it is likely that this relationship will have a positive affect on the situation. Through conversations and activities with your partner, you may well feel your way into a different and more fulfilling connection with the divine, as manifesting in each of your hearts and minds, although not necessarily from the standpoint of any other societal group.

With this aspect in your composite chart you are likely to be engaged in a relationship in which there is difficulty and also great healing potential around issues of power and control. There may also be compulsive behavior on the part of one or both partners that comes up for greater acceptance and eventual healing during the course of this relationship. As a result of your life experiences before coming together, one or both of you may have a tendency to plunge into the depths of despair or the heights of manic madness as a form of compensatory reaction to over-indulgence in one form or another of a compulsive desire nature, perhaps expressed in terms of sexuality or abuse of power. Potent healing abilities are ultimately indicated with this placement, but you must first work through some tough issues, and this relationship can be life changing in that regard. Of course the relationship will be an important testing ground where power and control issues emerge, and where a tremendous increase in consciousness around them may result, but that is only the first step. There is a lot of work that needs to be done, and the nature of this work is that a good deal of it must be done alone. However, the safety zone of a mutually agreed conscious relationship can be an invaluable asset in pursuing such rewards. There are great depths of passion within each one of you, likely the result of painful experiences from early childhood, and there is tremendous benefit to be gained when these experiences become better integrated. When you become more conscious of these patterns you have a huge capacity to heal yourself and even others in your circle. As a partnership you have a keen intuition for each other, and great power to transform not only yourselves and your relationship but the larger collective surrounding you as well.

Together, you have the propensity to experiment with otherworldly energies in a healthy and productive way. You may feel a strong pull to be of service to humanity.

Social ideals will strongly affect the expression of your relationship.

Composite Neptune in sextile (within 2.6 degrees) with Pluto

With this placement, there are likely to be issues from early childhood that may be triggered in the context of this relationship, perhaps around exerting personal will versus knuckling under to authority. If so, the evolutionary intent of bringing up these facets of the long-dead past is for moving through them and the eventual healing of these issues in your lives. When conflicts arise you benefit when you are able to look quietly and closely into your underlying motivations, rather than either attempting to ignore the pain that might be coming up for you or to put the blame on your partner for triggering your own reactivity.

Composite Mars in weak square (within 4.6 degrees) with Uranus

The planetary energies conflict; internal and creative tensions bring rich rewards through effort over time.

This aspect between composite Mars and Uranus brings to your relationship a powerful eccentricity with an original and eclectic mindset and a keen intuition. You two are strong-willed and nonconformist to the point of resisting each other as well as outer authority and occasionally display fits of temper. You may feel restless in this relationship or lack steadiness as you pursue your joint goals. Your shared goals may change unexpectedly and dramatically as time goes on, and resist all efforts to define them. Together, you may make sudden decisions. You may, for example, find that one of you makes a sudden move that impacts the other's life in far-reaching ways, or it may be that outside agencies conspire to create unexpected shocks.

Change and variety excite you as a partnership, and your urge for constant breakthrough may frustrate or confuse those around you.

You have a strong sense of optimism, possess high ideals and motivate others through your inventive and original example. You enjoy exploring new horizons, either real or imagined, and tend not to value security as much as you value an ever-expanding sense of freedom. You share a penchant for committing outlandish acts for the sheer heck of it, which provides you with tremendous entertainment, and occasionally tremendous stress. Together, you can be rebellious, restless and excitable, because you have the capacity to visualize new possibilities rather than accept an outmoded status quo. You are also likely to experience sudden and surprising opportunities throughout the lifetime of this relationship, which may take you into expansive states and distant places. Be aware of your capacity to envision possibilities too vast to achieve. You may resist this idea, but you actually increase your chances of benefiting yourselves and others with your innovative gifts by choosing the more conservative path and by cultivating a more practical approach.

Composite Saturn in weak square (within 4.3 degrees) with Neptune

The planetary energies conflict; internal and creative tensions bring rich rewards through effort over time.

With these two planets in challenging aspect, however, you may find that the limitations of Saturn combined with the confusion of Neptune leaves you both feeling depressed about the general state of things from time to time.

The strongest blend of the energies represented by these two planets.

You benefit when you work to develop tolerance, diplomacy and tact as you boldly make your way through the world.

Composite Uranus in weak opposition (within 6.1 degrees) with Chiron

The planetary energies are polarized; outer events stimulate their interaction; integration is the challenge.

With this aspect in your composite chart your relationship has a strong spiritual connection with it's own unique brand of philosophical outlook. As a partnership, you are likely to be prone to sudden insights and departures from consensus thinking. One or both of you probably has an unusual combination of personality traits in which you are very unconventional yet also somewhat unsure of yourself in your very departure from the rest of society, so that you may surprisingly show flashes of a conservative side. You are likely to have brilliant and refreshingly unconventional minds, and this combination of personality traits may have drawn you to each other in the first place. Now you can form a conspiracy of two that defeats the pressure to conform that constantly comes at you from the surrounding social setting. In this way, and with this very important support for each other, your relationship can be extraordinarily healing for you both, especially in the area of your own uncertainties regarding your resistance to the straight and narrow. You have a creative perspective that allows you to go far in pursuing your own unique brand of spirituality.

Composite Neptune in weak trine (within 4.6 degrees) with Chiron

The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is easy and beneficial.

With this aspect in your composite chart you have in your relationship a strong spiritual connection and an almost psychic sympathy with each other, based on your own experiences in these sensitive areas. One or both of you is likely to have particularly strong access to the world of dreams and inner fantasy, which may serve as an escape valve. If so, there may be a wound to your sense of place in this physical world. You may be extremely sensitive to the energy of others, and vicariously experience their pain, or allow yourself to be overly influenced by their opinion of you. Something perhaps keeps you out of touch with consensus reality, and you are not very comfortable with this role. It is as if you stand on the other side of a glass door from the rest of society, through which you alternately gaze longingly and then lose interest and wander away into your own fantasy. Your spiritual evolution involves moving through this issue, and there is a way that this relationship will be an important steppingstone for both of the partners in this regard. There may also be issues to work through regarding too much idealism or self-sacrifice by one of you. Once you have begun to work through these difficulties and establish a better sense of where you each stand vis a vis the remainder of society, the two of you are capable of tremendous spiritual powers. Together you may build bridges from this world to the visionary other, exhibiting great poetic or musical talent or the empathy of the born healer. Having come through a painful examination of your own psyche you are able to see more clearly and compassionately into the minds of others around you as well.
