Is there a better way to see the example above? How would you interpret it? That the Sun is attracting Anteros/Moon by being the Sun (by sign and house) and then Anteros/Moon would try and reflect these back to appeal to the Sun? Or is the Sun enchanted by its own reflection more?

So if Aries rules the conjunction, you need to take two energies and find a common direction/goal in order to blend them?

And the square (what is the difference b/t a higher and lower square?) is ruled by Capricorn/Cancer. So, you have to find a way to overcome limits/restrictions and emotions caused by the square?

I wonder if the reason Saturn squares seem to be the worst is because it rules them?

Does this make sense?

Yes I think the conj is the blending or somehow unification of the two, to convert maybe into something new (aries starts the cycle).

I thought that maybe the higher square is something like a grand cross, higher trine the grand trine etc

Yes with squares, they generate emotion I guess and that is why cancer might rule it. As for the higher square being ruled by cap, I suspect that is to with cap being the hard worker. Caps persist, have stamina are relatively patient and meticulous. I suppose these are the qualities that are required in a couple to overcome this, not to mention the person themselves (who might have these qualities how have this pattern in their natal chart).

You're the astro bomb, baby!

That's definitely something I've never heard of, but it sure makes sense.

I know we talked about this on another thread...did you say you do or don't believe in composite charts?

I have a DOOZY consisting of nothing but stelliums in a grand cross. Saturn squares pretty much everything.

Dunno...whatdaya think? Doomed?

Well composites are supposed to describe a third entity, not the party themselves but the relationship. I occasionally look at composites but usually look at synastry because synastry is concerned with how the parties relate and if they relate well, then a bad composite can be overcome. I have a shocking composite with my partner (t-squares, one involving moon and the other the sun and an unaspected venus) but we've got pretty good synastry. Things have been tough in our relationship, that is the composite, but I feel happy with my partner and he is my best friend, so the synastry is good. So you can see how it overcomes a bad composite.

I have to find some links but I read that composite is pretty much a new invention. It's been said that the origins of the composite was in Germany in the 1930's but became fashionable in the US in the 1970's. From there, it spread to the rest of the world.

What do you mean about the stelliums, do you mean in synastry or natally? If synastry, then it isn't fatal. I've noticed a lot of couples with squares because the square is the action in the relationship that gets them to overcome things and gives them enough tension to get along. Friendships are often composed of positive aspects. A lot couples have quite bad saturn squares actually.

In a synastry what would it indicate if there is a double whammy Eros opposite Psyche?

Eros, in Greek religion and mythology


(rīs, rī–) (KEY) , in Greek religion and mythology, god of love. He was the personification of love in all its manifestations, including physical passion at its strongest, tender, romantic love, and playful, sportive love. According to some legends he was one of the oldest of the gods, born from Chaos and personifying creative power and harmony. In most legends he was the son of Aphrodite and Ares and was represented as a winged youth armed with bow and arrows. In Greek poetry Eros was often a willful and unsympathetic god, carelessly dispensing the frenzies and agonies of love. At Thespiae and at Athens he was worshiped as a god of fertility. In Hellenistic and Roman myth, he was represented as a naked, winged child, the son and companion of Venus. To the Romans he was Cupid, or Amor. Eros was sometimes attended by his brother, Anteros, who was said to be the avenger of unrequited love or the opposer of love. See also Psyche.

Psyche


(sīk) (KEY) , in Greek mythology, personification of the human soul. She was so lovely that Eros (Cupid), the god of love, fell in love with her. He swept her off to a beautiful, isolated castle but forbade her to look at him since he was a god. When she disobeyed, he abandoned her, but she ceaselessly searched for him, performing difficult and dangerous tasks, until at last she was reunited with him forever and made immortal.

Have you already looked at your Davison?
I`d be interested to learn how it works for you, because in every case I looked at it, it depicted the relationship much more accurately (especially regarding karmic issues or outer circumstances) than the composite.

With me it`s often like that: the composite is what I WANT to have, but the Davison is the what I actually HAVE. And believe me it`s often a much harder nut to crack. But also sometimes gets my head spinning.

But all in all I`d rely on synastry far more than either Composite or Davison.

Hi 23, How do you think a person with Psyche conjunct their South Node in the 6th house would respond to an Eros/Psyche oppostion in synastry

How much would house overlays matter in Eros synastry?

I have an attraction to someone that I think might be one-sided (not sure though, very confused about these things lately). We have an Eros-Mars conjunction. He is the Eros person (Eros in Virgo in his 11th house), and I am the Mars person (Mars in Virgo, my 8th)? So would the details of the house placements make me feel the erotic pull more?

His Eros is also opposed to my Jupiter (at 0 degrees), semisquare my Venus and MC, and sextile my Saturn.

My Eros falls into his 7th house and is opposed to his Sun and Mercury.
