Okay,

Let's say I have Neptune sextile Pluto
(like most everyone else in my generation)...

Let's say that those planets
are relatively unaspected in my chart,
but, that Pluto Squares my Ascendant...

Is it true that the sextile to Neptune,
being the only "easy" aspect to Pluto,
serves as an "escape route" for the
Pluto Square Ascendant energies? -
So that Neptune,
although relatively unaspected,
aquires much more importance in my chart?

See, I am trying to account for how friggin' Neptunian I am.
All I can see is the Pisces South Node,
and the fact that Neptune is singleton (11th),
but is that enough to make me the way I am -
I mean, I am VERY Neptunian, it seems.

Neptune is also Squaring my Ascendant ruler
(Saturn), but the orb is 5 degrees,
and I doubt that is very significant.

Also, it is semi-square my 1st house Moon
(orb of less than 1 degree)...
I have heard at least one reputable astrologer
claim that tight semi-squares are as powerful
as wide squares any day.
So, like, would a semi-square with an orb of 1 degree
equal a square with an orb of 2, 3, or 4 degrees?
What do you think?

Neptune also semi-sextiles my Venus by less than a degree,
and parallels both Venus and Mars.
Do you think those parallels are very significant?

My chart is located on my signature,
if you want to have a peek.

thanks,
Stephen

And,
as for the easy aspect providing a channel
for the tension in the hard aspect...
do you think that is valid, too?

Because it seems like a very important
way for a planet to be highlighted,
and yet, you rarely hear about it.

Yes...I agree

I have a t-square of Moon in Pisces in 6th square the opposition of retrograde Saturn in Gemini in 9th and Jupiter-Neptune conjunction in Sagittarius in 3rd.

My Sun in Scorpio in 2nd trines the t-square focal planet, Moon.

Would a 1 degree semi-square
be equivalent to a 2 degree square?

Let's say they are both "out of sign",
just to make it fair.

My Sun Stellium IS in the Pisces Decan of Scorpio.

Honestly, I don't know. I have really looked into decanates. I am open to the possibility that they can be significant.

My Venus in Scorpio is in Cancer decanate,and I feel that I can be a nurturing lover.

My Mercury in Scorpio is in Pisces decanate,but I am not sure about that...my Mercury already parallels Neptune...I have Neptune in 3rd.

Is your 6th house moon conjuncting that Dsc?
Because that would definitely making you nurturing in relationships.

What's your opinion on the "minor" aspects?

I don't think a 1 degree semisquare has more power than a 2 degree square though.

My Moon is in 3'11 Pisces,and my Descendant is in 13'27 Pisces.

Right, right.
But could a 1 degree semi-square
be stronger than a 3 or 4 degree square?

Or a 1 degree semi-sextile;
could it be stronger than a 3 degree sextile?

Hmmm...
