so in the case of a triple conjunction of mercury-mars-sun opposing a triple conjunction of jupiter-saturn-venus in a composite chart would basically be SO many aspects all intertwined that you probably could not give the standard interpretations for any one of those dynamics and have it be accurate; it would be a brand new dynamic altogether, right? like, the three planets in conjunction would blend into a new energy that is even more difficult to pinpoint in itself as an independent energy.. right?

You're not going to find many astrologers who will voluntarily share that kind of information on the internet. That's when you're really getting into the nitty gritty of chart interpretation. I could be wrong, you may find someone.

passionate,assertive expression,communications and structured expansive affections,values are at odds with each other and need to be balanced

can indicate clashing of values,beliefs due to dogmatic thinking

the awareness of different viewpoints,values one's affections to prevent arguments and communication blocks

but what i'm thinking is, there really *is* no way to boil it down to the precise meaning, is it? that would be a very amazing alchemical process! just given how many differing interpretations there are for *one* particular aspect. it boggles the mind! that is where intuition comes in.. but i'm wondering, is synthesis capable of mathematical-like precision? i'm just confused. i am interested in becoming professional someday and learning as much as there is to learn, but sometimes i wonder if it's all just a guessing game and if it's sort of pointless in a way. i mean, you'd NEED to be psychic to make proper sense of a chart, wouldn't you? or am i missing something?

I also think you want astrology to be something that you can easily pick up in tidbits on the internet. Some people can do that, some people can't. If you want to do it professionally some day, consider taking some classes. I've seen you figuring things out and you are doing great as a beginner, but if you want to eventually become a consultant or a reader, there are so many more steps to learn than just what individual aspects are telling you. A GREAT first step is trying the formula that Glaucus put at the end of his post above. You have to begin using you imagination, which is the quickest way to your intuition and you have to begin not just using your own brain and opinions, you have to begin using common sense, some psychology and FEEL the planets and aspects. I know you will find your way.

well i just read my NN description in jan spiller's book- 9th house NN, 3rd south and i think that might be my stumbling block and my key to understanding this. i tend to try too hard to understand or gather information when intuition, for me, is the best way forward.

i guess it's just the idea that everyone interprets differently, and intuition is fallible, so if one person asked 10 astrologers the same question, they'd get 10 answers, and some would be quite disperate, and i guess i just question whether it might be somehow futile, in some way, because of this. like, there is understanding as far as we can, with formulae and metaphors, etc, and knowing the aspects and synthesis in and out, and then there is using intuition to propel the understanding deeper and to fill in the holes and find understanding, etc.. probably i am just confusing things and it is more simple than i'm making it, but right now i feel overwhelmed in possibility and am not quite sure that it is making sense. i think i just have to whittle it down. sorry, blah blah blah!

If you think about it, it is making the chart more descriptive, because it is building it up to reflect the contradictory, imperfect human being it represents.

Some things happen that are beyond our control. Some things about ourselves are fundamental, but it is possible to develop as we get older and not be trapped by our weaknesses. Just as an example, a friend of mine has some hard Neptune aspects. I read him out some cookbook definitions of them, he said they sounded like him when he was younger.
