I remember reading somewhere an aspect in a composite that makes it go platonic. It happened in a former relationship of mine and I just can't remember which aspect that was.

Does anyone have any guesses what it might have been?

I'd love to know the answer to that, and what aspects lead people to end up hating one another?

I think neptune not sure what can make things platonic, because it can be more of a spiritual connection...
Pluto can turn things to hate.

Astro.com always tells me Sun conjunct Venus in a composite is platonic but I don't know how they can label it to just that.

Well, seems like there are a few. Here is what I found, they are all contacting Neptune:
(lol... this is all from one relationship... no wonder it went platonic)

>>> Sun Sextile Neptune

With composite Sun sextile composite Neptune, your relationship tends to be very idealized. In some ways it is best suited to friendship, because it tends to make a love relationship PLATONIC. But if both of you are on a spiritual path, this aspect will reinforce your efforts to be together.

No matter what kind of relationship it is you will have very high ideals about what you should be to each other. Since you will be caught up in this ideal, you may be reluctant to deal with the ordinary, mundane aspects of life. Obviously, this can be carried too far if you are not careful. You have to deal with the real world one way or another. Also you must learn to communicate with each other about all areas of your relationship, not just the ideal parts.

The idealism it signifies can make a relationship quite beautiful. It is not so much a matter of suppressing idealism as of learning to deal with reality.

>>> Neptune Conjunct Ascendant

The conjunction of composite Neptune with Ascendant has a twofold significance. But in either case, a strongly placed Neptune such as this introduces the element of idealism.

At its highest, this aspect indicates that there is a strong spiritual bond between you. An invisible thread links the two of you together, so that without having to say very much, you each can feel what the other is thinking. You would be willing to do almost anything for each other.

In such an idealistic relationship, however, the emphasis is on a spiritual bond. This aspect can be an indication of a PLATONIC relationship.

Unfortunately, such an ideal bond is not usually realized. More commonly this aspect indicates a relationship in which there is an unusual amount of illusion and self-deception.

Usually the problem is that one of the partners is not relating to the other as a real human being. Instead, you create a mental ideal, which you force the other person to fit. But when the other person's real identity emerges, you will experience great disappointment. This theme is repeated again and again, wherever Neptune is strong. You must stop searching for an ideal and be willing to appreciate your partner as he or she actually is. Only then can you get the best out of the relationship.

>>> Moon Trine Neptune

In any kind of relationship with the trine of composite Moon and Neptune, idealism will be a dominant theme. You will feel that the spiritual union between you is higher and more soulful than in any ordinary relationship. Such a union is a real possibility, but it will not come automatically. What will come with this aspect is the expectation of spirituality, not necessarily the fact.

The love you experience together will be a very ideal and spiritual love, and it may be PLATONIC rather than sexual. There will be a strong feeling that you have a true soul union. Much that would ordinarily be expressed in words about your feelings will be communicated in a subliminal and intuitive way that others will not even be aware of.

This relationship will also affect your philosophy of life by making you more idealistic and concerned with spiritual matters than you were before.

The demands this aspect can make upon a relationship are great, but so are the potentials. A truly ideal and spiritual relationship of a most uncommon sort is a real possibility. But remember - so also is a relationship in which you wander about in an idealistic romantic fog. The choice is yours.

>>> Jupiter Sextile Neptune

The sextile of Jupiter and Neptune in the composite chart is an indication of an idealistic relationship. The idealism is not likely to be destructive but will give the two of you a spiritual quality that can carry you out of the mundane world into your own world of beauty. This aspect indicates deep friendship, even in a sexual relationship. But in such a relationship it can cause difficulties, because it tends to make a love affair PLATONIC. Its energies are so removed from the physical world that they don't combine easily with physical sexuality.

In dealing with everyday practical matters, this aspect can present certain problems, but they are not insuperable. The two of you must learn not to indulge in contempt for mundane reality. Remember the concerns of the world around you, even though this relationship enables you to escape from it.

OH WOW!

Appleberry your post about Neptune conj. ASC may have just solved a hole in my past relationship I could never put my finger on. I couldn't figure out how I was so happy and so miserable with this person at the same time and now I think it's because ...a) I was happy because I saw them in the fog, and was miserable because they certainly didn't see ME and they certainly DID try to make me fit a "mold" and I didn't understand why. WOW.

Yes... I'm starting to realize how important the placement of Neptune in at least the composite chart is. I haven't looked into synastry but I have a feeling that pretty much the same applies to connections in synastry

I'm going throw my first heavy neptune thingy..lol... It does feel very soulful, and it has touched me deeply..

I have all those soul mate type feelings. I like it.. It feels so good and different and wonderful....

We do idolize each other, I think it's done in a healthy manner, yet I fear wonder what l the fog is... It hasn't cleared... It's scary how neptune makes u feel like everything is perfect..

But at the same time,i wouldn't change the way it feels for all the money in the world..

Lol... we gotta be careful... while in it we think "oh my God! I'm so in love!!!" Then when it ends and we drop out of the haze and confusion of the ending, we realize "Oh my God! Struck by Neptune again!!"

I'm scared for you too cuz I have been there many times and it takes forever for me to get over it. I don't wish that on anyone... and as far as I'm concerned... it was never really worth the learning experience... but I'm a Chiron in the 7th so I think it's just going to continue happening to me over and over til I'm finished with this life...

Good luck... try to be conscious of what you are going through... but oh well... enjoy it while it's fun cuz one day it might not be there
