I've been thinking a lot about the astrology of relationships. Rather than see a 'Bad' composite chart or synastry as a reason not to have a relationship with that person...or as a Sign-with-a-capital-S that some particular aspect of your connection is doomed...I like the idea of using relationship astrology to work with challenges constructively. What are some ways we can work with challenging astrological dynamics to express the "higher order" of them in relationships? For example, in a natal chart, someone might express a 12th house Moon-Neptune conjunction by being an escapist drug addict who doesn't face reality--that would be a "low order" expression. But the same person could learn to express that Moon-Neptune by being a talented musician, romantic, spiritual and keenly attuned to others' emotions. I put 'Bad' in quotes because I'm not really a fatalist, I think there are different ways to work with anything we're born with--genes, bodies, charts--to make them beautiful. In relationships, what are some ways to work constructively to express a "higher order" of aspects with a bad reputation? IP: Logged |

Just to clarify: let's say you're looking at your composite, synastry, and both natals with someone you love...you look at the big picture, but of course you also highlight meaningful aspects.And, for example, Sun square Saturn in the synastry rings true. Let's say a brother and sister have that. How might they use astrological knowledge to improve the relationship? Let's say the same brother and sister have a "big picture" that looks really difficult: a challenging T-square in the composite, for example. How could they work with and learn from that?

hey Lucia, welcome back! it's been a long time  I noticed one thing, working with bad aspects in synastry always starts with working with yourself always, and being more trusting, understanding and less judgemental can work wonders in a relatinoship  IP: Logged |

"In relationships, what are some ways to work constructively to express a "higher order" of aspects with a bad reputation?"I think it depends on the maturity level of the people involved and on the karma they share. And on how much they love each other. (and i mean love in its general meaning) I say this because i believe that its not by chance if you share "doomed" aspects with someone. They role can vary depending on the purpose of the relationship. Sometimes, you only learn about the higher order of some aspects when the relationship is already over. In other cases, lets say in a long-term relationship, with love and patience, as you grow together (supposing you're both willing to grow), you will be able to manifest the higher orders. Unconditional love is the key, i believe.

I really feel this is a very interesting thread. It is so strange in composites and davison charts that there are sometimes completely new dynamics between two people developping or emerging , sometimes quite different from the dynamics shown through synastry. With my best (male) friend with whom I have had a very loving platonic relationship for now four years - and we see each other nearly everyday - I have in the composite sun opposite venus and moon opposite pluto, in the davison venus conjunct pluto opposite moon.
I have been pondering a lot about the intensity shown in those aspects - our synastry shows my saturn/neptune conjunction exactly on his descendant square his venus.I should be very grateful if we could discuss in this thread particularely "difficult" aspects in composites and davison charts and how they can be managed. on one hand we are always happy to get an "intense" relationship - on the other hand with moon pluto or venus pluto it's not just about having fun....
Could you please share with me your experiences with those aspects in your relationships?
Thanks
