composite grand trine,
saturn mars jupiter

this is solid gold. absolutely one of the best aspect configs for working together. if pluto was attached to one of the legs, pref. conj jupiter, it would be *the best* imo.

these are the aspects i was looking for,
mars sex/trine mars,
jupiter/mars
jupiter/saturn
mars/saturn
jupiter/pluto
moon/mercury, sun, venus, jupiter (actually in this line all of these in good aspect is helpful.

one iffy i saw was mars opposed merc, infixed signs no less. but if youre not living together and can maintain boundaries it should present less of an issue.
sun opposed moon is actually a positive.
pluto opp sun shouldnt be a big deal since the sun person has that aspect natally. i think youre the pluto person here, if so, be mindful that the sun person may be on the lookout for power struggles somewhere along the line, just give them breathing room to flex their muscles and keeping in mind the merc opposed mars don't take it personally.

your natal jup trine saturn is good, you can teach their saturn about positive thinking and taking some calculated risks.

are you on the inside? your moon's conj my venus

the mars in the composite late leo brings a grand trine to your synastry adding the missing fire to the late aries/late sadge stelliums. this is fire raring to go!

composite moon sq uranus, sudden blowups from oversensitivity. also sun conj venus is in aquarius. so there's a good amount of detached energy here, which is actually good for stepping out of boundaries and trying to make it in something you're not used to.

overall i like it.
but i don't look at a lot of musician charts, tho i can't see much difference from reg. synastry, other than:
-composite needs to trump the synastry, bad composite will not keep the work relationship going.
-sun conj venus is pretty normal in composites in this field, also is the outer planets esp neptune in good aspect to the personal planets, since musicians want to take collective energy and put it into song, the outers tend to need to be in good working order.

music be a hobby for me
i.e. am not a pro.

ran away from home at 16 ..
didn't take anything with me .. except my guitar ..
if my house was burning down .. i'd try 'n save my strat first ..
( no other living creatures be in this house except for moi .. and whatever scuttles under the floorboards )

which part of "that" ???
being possessive about my guitar ??
( it be like a very good friend and companion .. even on a bad day :-)
leaving home ?? ( probably saturn-venus with a dose of cancerian uranus )
good days for music making ?? ( so far venus 'n bm.lillith transits i think )

i've got 2 charts of musician friends here .. ( taurus and a capricorn )
one i get along with musicaly for the most part
the other one .. we clash in taste ( he loves folk music .. i don't )
both are long term friends ..

.. the capricorn was noodling on slide guitar when i met him at a pub ..
i just went up to him and complimented him about his playing ..
he later said he thought i was trying to pick-him-up ..
( his hair was seriously long at the time
( i assumed it was one of his cappy dry humour jokes as i'm 100 percent 'straight'
odd though .. he gave up playing slide guitar .. whereas i took to it to the point of injury

i'll get some charts sorted 'n post them ( synastrys )
make what u will out of the data :-) ..

had a really good connection with a taurean drummer ..
born same day as moi .. we were realy in sync rythm-wise ..
( like telepathy .. we were always 'knowing' what the other was going to do )
i loved playing bass to his drumming ..
( last i heard he 'lost-it' under his pluto opp. mars transit
( got involved with some 'heaviness' and 'drugs' and a shady lady

may as well add in a note of caution to aspiring drummers ..
turns out chronic back problems are part of price one can pay
( evidently many drummers develop serious back problems
( highlited on the radio recently as phill collins has been in hospital due to back pain

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. two synastry charts .. their birthtimes are aprox ..
relying on their mum's memory ..
1's mum just lives nearby .. i could ask 'n re-check
( edited as i'm too uncertain about 1's asc .. his chart is a midday chart )

both long-term friends ..

both are guitarists ..
1 sais he'd make a lousy bass player for some reason :-) also he doesn't like trad folk music
2 plays bass and mandolin as well .. and loves trad folk music ..

outside placements are 'others' ..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1 .. we gel well together .. same taste in music ..
he is the best i've heard when it comes to playing hendrix songs ..
that is apart from 'snail-pace slim' of the 'hamsters'
.. though dave's tone is closer to j.h.
and he built his own effects .. dead ringers for what j.h. sounded like .. the guy is an accoustic genius
he's done modifications for 'marshall' as well ..

plays with much feeling .. i could listen to him play all day ..
he's an electrical engineer .. and really knows his tube amps 'n how to customise them

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2 .. don't gel when it comes to playing .. we have very different tastes in music
although were on agreement about jimmy page :-)
i think the 'non-gel' is rythm ..
otherwise he's always offering to help me work on my instruments
( he used to restore antique furniture .. certainly knows his woodwork :-)

( edit as i'm too uncertain about 1's asc )

2nd synastry chart has two odd symbols ..
be my way of marking eros and psyche in my chart
the sftwr allows placements to be inserted wherever one wants ..
so i substituted 2 placements ( 'east' n 'point of occult' .. for 'eros' and 'psyche )
looks like i turned that option off in one of the charts ..
( forgot all about that :-))

this is a synastry chart of dave's wife and himself ..
( dave is chart 1 in prev post )
~ http://www.happydragon.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/temp/sdsynastry.gif ~

her placements are the inside chart ( main chart ) and her birthtime is known
his placements on the outside ( and bottom row of the grid ) are at 12-noon gmt

i suspect that maybe their moons might be in an opposition aspect
just guessing .. 'n knowing what he's like :-)

i rekon neptune aspects for the main part ..
saturn in 3rd house .. as i can express feelings more easily on guitar than i can with words ..
pluto aspects .. probably somewhat determine type of music ..
uranus aspects invite an interest in electronics ..

i guess in some way the guitar is a bit of an emotional security blanket .. of sorts ..
don't know why i say that .. it just popped into my head :-)
seem to make a bit of sense ..
~~~~~~~~
maybe the best way is to look at a number of musicians charts 'n see what they have in common
e.g. mine and the two others above all show minor aspects between sun and neptune ..
