What exactly makes for a "good" or a "bad" composite?This is the composite of my bf and I: 
As you can see, we have the Sun in the 7th conjunct moon, Venus, and Mercury with Jupiter also in the 7th, and Sun and Venus sextile Saturn. However, we also have Mars in the 4th joined by Pluto in the 4th and Pluto is squaring, and I'm not even kidding, the sun, the moon, Mercury, Venus and the ascendant.
I guess what I am asking is, are we doomed? Can a relationship survive that much hard Pluto? Would you classify this composite as good or bad based on what I've said? IP: Logged |

No need to worry yourself, Aquacheeka. Your composite looks great and has potential, I think I recall commenting on it a while back. You have some conjunctions, sextiles, a few squares, and as a whole, a lot in common. I don't really see anything problematic, as not even Pluto is really enough to drag a relationship down the drain. I don't know if there is a such thing as a "perfect" or "horrible" composite chart, but there are hard ones. In any case, I will say that two composites that I have seen where the relationship was bad had an overwhelming amount of squares. But also, the people involved were immature, and thus instead of choosing to either work it out to solve problems or walk away, they chose to make it worse. I've even seen a composite without a lot of squares come apart. So, the ball is in your court(s) as to whether the relationship will work out. And Composites can indeed tell you how simple or hard it will be, but I don't think it can indicate an eventually break-up or upheaval, just obstacles. To look for particular issues you might have to look at natal and composite transits and progressions and such, and I have little experience with those. I just noticed you have Uranus and Neptune in the 7th. Uranus does not seem to be aspecting a lot of your inners, so no need to worry about stability. Uranus is Sagittarius in the 7th means a combo of two different cultures, maybe. Neptune in the 7th in Capricorn is a little harder for me to interpret, but again, no major aspects, so the relationship seems straightforward without all the rose-colored and leading-you-on type deals. I'd recommend you take a look at your Davison chart too, and see how you relate to that versus your Composite. You say you guys are doing really well. That's great to hear. I'd just go on and trust that more.  IP: Logged |

Thank you so much for your feedback, Lazyscarecrow. For some reason I found it extremely reassuring, particularly when you said, "you two have a lot in common" because that's very true. I just worry because my relationship before this ALSO had a heavily Plutonian composite and it brought out the absolute worst in both of us and damn near killed me when we had to separate. But like this one, it started out beautifully. I'm scared to go through that again. I'm hoping the overall nice partnership-oriented energy will be enough to balance out the mind games:s.Again, I can't thank you enough for taking the time to look it over for me. IP: Logged |

I worry about similar things (bad composite/synastry)...and i try to remind myself, even really good aspects or charts can sometimes not show through in a relationship. For instance Saturn squares are ROUGH, but they're something you can overcome! I try to wait and feel out a relationship before checking out our astrology. It's tough though... so fun to use someone as practice for interpretation skills IP: Logged |

No problem. And for the record, your man is a Capricorn right? I think they are one of the least likely signs to engage in silly mind games. If anything you may have to worry about him going silent when he's upset. You said you had a Pluto ridden composite before? Hmmm. Well I'm sure he's not like the other ex, so it still may be different. As long as your guy is good to you and respects the relationship, you both can handle Pluto. It happens, but sometimes Composite chart patterns and aspects can repeat themselves for certain people. I have had Sun conjunct Mars a lot, for example.

I have moon trine Pluto in the 8th so I think that may be the reason I'm drawn to Plutonian relationships. I think I need emotional intensity though I despise conflict (I'm a Sun-Venus conjunction and now that I think of it, so is my boyfriend). My ex had Mars-Pluto and Mars-Saturn square and he had a horrible and scary temper. My Cappy has a Mars-Pluto conjunction. My understanding is that people with the conjunction handle it better. Or at least I hope so lol.
