Ok, I will tell you upfront that I really am not a big fan of sysnasty charts for I have seen quite a bit of controdictory aspects in the same chart.

For example:

My Saturn squares her Mars... Yeah, its one of those "Gonna get on each other nerves to the point of destruciton" kinda aspect Lol!

To quote thinkastro.com: "It is impossible for such a union to happen but, if it does, it will be unbearable."

Oh yeah... them are fighthing words thinkastro Lol!

Yet at the same time in the same chart mind you, my Satrun conjucts her Sun. Supposably that means that this is gonna be one hell of a secure relationship.

Can you say controdiction? Lol! Any feedback would be nice.

When you see contradictory evidence in a synastry chart, it's important to notice the overall theme or patterns in order to get a sense for which ones will have the most influence.

Having said that, all aspects are *just* influences and each individual in a relationship will choose how, when and even if they will reflect or use those influences.

If you see a lot of secure aspects in a chart then that creates a binding feeling between two people which at first can seem nice and secure but later can maybe feel stifling. So sometimes having contradictory aspects (like ones that are binding versus ones that are Uranus-inspired, therefore more indicative of independence and less security) can help to make a relationship exciting but still stable.

But again, it depends how the people involved decide to 'use' these influences.

Love:

That being true, however the only problem is the re-occuring theme in our chart is the same all over again; Its the two extremes of every relationship. The chart indicated that we supposably are in love to the point of being obessed with each other. (Well... A good thing in most cases ) but on the other hand the same chart also indicates in abundance that we are so gonna tear each other apart piece by piece.

Well so far I don't seem to see bloody limbs scattered all over my living room Lol! God this is so gonna be a "Hoobastank - Out of Control" kinda situation Lol!

Yeah, well I recently got out of a (somewhat unrequited) love thing and I know what you're saying...I still think that whether there's destiny involved or not you can still choose how it will go at least.

I was re-watching The Matrix Reloaded lastnight (again) and my favourite line from it is when Neo is sitting with The Oracle in the courtyard before hundreds of Mr. Smiths show up. And he's asking her about fate and if she knows what his next choice will be. He's frustrated because if she does know, then it takes away the element of choice completely and it's all just an illusion.

So she says something like "you already chose it, now you have to try to understand WHY you chose it."

I always find that to be a very compelling answer to the question about choice versus destiny

Acoustic:

Well looking at the brighter side of things (the Libra way Angry Lovemaking FTW! Lol! Oh the passion! ... what a way to go LOL!

Love:

Right on . You know the more I listen to people's EXTREMELY biased replies on this matter the more it becomes apparent to me that they really can't say anything constructive (negitive aspects included mind you) on this relationship. Why? Because its something people just aren't accustomed to. Me and my love are aggressively charged individuals who really understand each other to the point that we know that we can only co-exist if we gave each other the room we need to grow and prosper. Ain't that what relationships are all about? I am seriously tired of hearing things from her girlfriend and from my friends that "Oh X there is gonna flutter away if you do not do something to tie the guy down." or "You should really define where you are in the relationship right now." No! I do not wanna confine us to stupid pre-defined notions of love and partnership. You can't seal free-spirits with definations. So it sucks to be them.

Sorry about that rant Lol!

Teaologist:

Actually there is 2 years difference between us (she is 21, I am 23.) Hell she is the most mature 21 yr. old I have met in ages Lol! I was born in Sep. and she was born in November. So there is quite a bit of distance between our birthdates.

I am thinking meh... Compsites, Sysnasty, etc. are all programed under the pretence of relationships in the more... "traditional" sense. Don't know how it would work for the custom made senerios Lol!

wouldn't synastry be easier to understand if you use the planets appropriate symbolism to guide you to the soul of a person...

Example: Girls Saturn squaring Boys mars.

The girl could be a "wet blanket "( Saturn) on the boys sense of "initiative" (mars) and that could cause friction between the both of them.
then you could use this information as a piece of a bigger puzzle that might accurately describe both the good AND the bad parts of the relationship.

Say if boys jupiter also trined girls sun then it would be easier for him to gloss over or forgive her for the irritiation of the saturn mars square..the irritation might never go away..but the boys sence of peace and forgiveness (jupiter) would always be in harmony with the girls sense of self ( Sun) and would help drastically in smoothing over the problems.

I think if you apply the appropriate planetary symbolism (even in a general way)to
the people involved in the comparison, it would be fairly simple to see the ins and outs of a certain relationship.

And if your looking for a "good fit" or easy relationship, find someone you have a lot of trines or conjuctions with ..if you want conflict, then bring on the squares and oppositions.

Of course no relationship is perfect, but I bet the smoother ones are very "triny"


But that's just my opinion.

Yes... Though man, that would really require for someone whose already swamped as it is with work, hobbies, a love life, studies and responsibilities to actually make time and sit down for such a detail analysis.

But then again, one can question this since the very notion of trying to make connections could very well end up in making connections to aspects that really don't have anything in common with each other in the first place.

One would ultimately see a mirage if he/she wanted water so badly.

Do you see what I mean?

I think this is a bogus statement
Here's why. If you already , in real life, have a relationship with someone, then you have astrological connections with them also. The theory here is, that the astrological connections would define or at least fall in the parameters of the already exisiting relationship..i.e. If you "really don't have anything in common" with the person, the reason could be, that all of the important parts of each others psyche are in conflict with one another(as in person A's planets "in conflict" with person B's planets)

Aspects don't relate to each other.
Planets relate to each other by "forming" aspects...
If you use the appropriate symbolism to interpret the aspects formed between 2 individuals charts, you should, theoretically , start to see an accurate picture of the dynamics of that relationship..as they really are (including all of the possible areas of deception or delusion on both sides of the relationship)

If your truly in tune with your destiny, then you could/would make the appropriate choices of partners at the appropriate times ( without the help of astrology)

I think astrology can help guide you, if you've lost your way, and therefore looking for people with good contacts with your own charts could be one way of "getting back on track"

A fair point but looking upon one guide only limits a person's prespective. I rather see the whole picture clearly and look beyond just astrology.

Dynamics of a relationship go well beyond personality base and attraction factor. There is always a self-fulfillment factor. People usually here refer to it as a Karmic bond. I personally call it a personality puzzle piece; Something that one partner lacks that he/she makes up for it through the contibution of another. Planets? Well they can only define a personality ever so much. There is environmental factors, the human psyce, etc.

So I rather not just limit myself to astrology . Personal view anyway.

Lmao dont buy into that stuff. I learned that nothing is ever that fatalistic and i totally despise astrologers who make it so. Its unecessary and in their profession they should know better than to say anything is THAT bad...there are worse things...like Mars/PLuto opposition...it doesnt matter overall. Its in your own hands, its job is to tell you that is in fact one of the harder aspects but certainly it isnt win all/loose all kinda thing.

Boy, it's been a long time coming, but I think I finally have a tiny inkling of your mindset, Xodian.

It's obvious to me that's there's nothing unusual about your relationship. Straight boy. Straight girl. Monogamous relationship. Pretty standard stuff really. You keep talking about bucking the system without realizing that every couple sets their own rules. There's nothing new about that.

When I look at your age, though, and her age especially, I think I know where you're coming from. Not all young women have realistic ideas about love and partnership. When they come from money it's even worse, because they have certain "expectations," (based on a certain degree of having been spoiled) that might not be all that grounded in reason. Is this an accurate representation of what's going on?

Nah! See I don't mind bad news but then the thing is I don't really expect controdictions upon it. Its either bad or its good. Or its bad in one aspect and good in another. It can't be good and bad in the same defined space Lol! One car to a parking area please LOL!

But yes I do agree BUD when you say it really is in our hands. I don't think fate is about one choice or another but a whole intriquite web of choices, each with one begining but multiple ends and any of those ends do not have to follow a pre-defined path but a path of your own making. People could argue that a circumstance made a person choose one thing. Well my argument to that is, why is it that there is just one pre-defined choice to that circumstance? Tragedy wouldn't have happened if one person chose another one didn't they?

Hence you end up with a fork in a road which some would say that the choice is directed upon to take one route but I say its more of a test of our character by a divine power to make one choice over another.

Lol! Ummm, now see you really went offcourse a lot (too bad though; You were steering somewhere close before ). Now what if I were to tell you that the so called "spoiled" notion would be totally false since us brothers insisted upon NO (I repeat NO financial help) from parents. What ever we earned, we earned on our own (well... not true; We all had to take the so called jump start; A small load of cash for the essentials for the first couple of years.)

However, seeing how we have all finally gotten grounded financially (on our own mind you ) dis it asking too much to actually go after what one wants rather then settling for half-good?

No... Not gonna happen. Its either all (for a perminent relationship) or no perminent relationship. Meh, maybe the outlook may change over the years (very not likely) but I do want to point this out; What ever I have right now, its only because I motivated myself to get it and I ain't stopping now; I still got my youth and a whole lotta ladders to climb .

Oh. my. God. I want to bang my head against the wall.

Ughhh, there are no contradictions in synastry as long as your not looking to cookbook astrology to accurately interpret synastry and you are actually using your intuition. This so-called "dilemma" is something that can easily be explained: just as there are strengths and weaknesses in every relationship, there are good aspects and bad aspects in synastry that coincide with them. Now was that so hard?

Dulce:

Save the drama for a Soap Opera; God seriously you seem so objective the first time I met you. Now... Not even gonna comment.

Yes... strengths and weaknesses. Uh but one cannot have the same strength and same weakness in the SAME category.

E.g.

One can either have good communication or bad communication. Or one can have good communication in one area of a relationship and bad communication in another area. One cannot have both in the same area.

quote:
actually using your intuition.

But since its "intuition," there is nothing solid backing it up then. Hence I go back to the objective of the thread; Questioning the accuracy of Synasties.

Alrighty then....why are you bringing objectivity into this when I'm not even attached to this issue in any way, shape, or form? I just saw some people trying to explain to you the solution and consequently hitting brick walls. If you don't want to listen then that's your loss, not ours.

Off to bed now.

Questioning an aspect is not the same as not listening . Comeon Dulce... Where is your sense of adventure? Lol! Debate a topic... It keeps the mind sharp and the conservitives twitching in their boots LOL!

We all can only arrive at a solution when there are no more questoins left, Non?

My deepest apologies Acoustic... Really man; A total misinterpertation on my part. Lack of caffine maybe? Lol! Nah! Just finishing up the night shift.

Yes Acoustic, you're right on track actually. And is it so bad that I want those aspects in a relationship? Do they have be so, "disney" defined? I mean realsitically, a gal needs her space. She had dreams wayyy before Mr. Right supposably walks in her life and if Mr. Right is as reasonable but at the same time as changed about about his life as she is, then he would understand that she needs her room to be an individual.

Same applies to the gal's prespective as well. You can bet that the guy is gonna be there to back you up and support you when you need him, but why do you want to cling to him? Why can't you let him grow and prosper the same way he wants you to?

One can only be happy if one is living the life they intended to live. Am I right? Now I know it applies differently for different couples and that is why I always write my views with a IMO; Because it IS just my opinion.

What?!!!!

Could I not try to communicate successfully ( in the best way I know how) to you...
and you not understand it? ( perhaps my mercury is in conflict with your moon?)

But , inversely, you can communicate with me, and I TOTALLY get where your coming from? ( perhaps your mercury is trining my moon?)

Does this make ANY sense to you?

granted, I kinda feel as though I haven't got the whole story on this post ( considering the above posts after my last), BUT..I somehow feel as though this is still relevant.

Again, good point. Hmmmm, maybe I need to run yours and mines sysnasty .

However, looking upon the example I gave (and the description that followed,) it still doesn't makes sense when you take into account the fact that the sysnasty is claming that there is such a strong connection there but chances are there (ie. Satrun conj. Sun) but there isn't a strong connection there (i.e. Satrun Square Mars.)

Mars govns. actions doesn't it? Well, pride aside for the moment, one would still know if there is enough resentment in a relationship to work or not work.

And its the same repeat though; There is a strong communication aspect bewteen you both. You understand eachother perfectly. Then it goes on and says that there ISN'T a strong communication aspect between you both. Huh?! Lol!

Hmmm, maybe I need to run this synasty by a different site.
