Eros and Psyche
Isis and Osiris
Pluto and Persephone/Proserpina
Adonis and Aphrodite/Innanen/Ishtar/Astarte
Siva and Parvati/Kaali

But you can interconnect with objects of fate i.e. Asteroid Karma, Union, Angel, Saturn,Vertex, North Node, MC and Asc
Ex. A's Eros conjunct B's asc 3 orbs
B's Psyche quincunx A's Asc 2 orbs

No, it is super important imo

Eros/Psyche certainly is a significant aspect and worth investigating, but the whole pattern has to be taken into consideration.
Especially "backbone" aspects MUST be present (angles, luminaries, nodal axis especially).

An Eros-Psyche aspect on its own might not necessarily and under any circumstances mean two people are definitely soulmates.
If that were the case John Cusack would be my soulmate. '

"y Mars opposite his Venus."
sign of possible sexual attraction.

"Eros conjunct Psyche 4 orbs"
IMO this is very wide and needs to be strengthened by tight strong aspects.

"Adonis trine Innanen 3 orbs"
It`s okay, but still a tad wide.

Those synastries I`ve investigated usually had one or at most 2 degree aspects.

4 degrees happen, too, but then there would be other exact soulmate-aspects present.

"Adonis conjunct Innanen 3 orbs"
This is one of the strengthening aspects. Though the orb is 3 degreee, there is a conjunction and it is a DW. As of now this seems to be the stronger pairing than Eros/Psyche.

"His psyche is also conjunct my Moon,Mercury,and Venus tight orb."
The Psyche-Moon-conjunction in tight orb might be a strengthening factor for the Eros-Psyche-conjunction. Psyche-Moon on its own is very soulfoul.

though I like my orbs to be very tight, wider orbs do work to (to a reasonable extent only of course ).

however, very tightly knit people or soulmates will have the 2 degree aspects en masse, but wider orbs (for planetary aspects) still work.#

so if you have a trine of Sun and Moon with 3 degrees I`?d definitely count it. I think you can be a bit more generous with the aspects of Sun and Moon (well for me generous is like 4 degrees ).
Actually it usually is not so much an All-or-nothing thing, but orbs start very strong at exactness, then weaken, fading into the background until they fade away.

One of the reason tight orbs are so strong is the fact that they are being triggered by transits simultaneously.

So bottomline: For me I use 2 degrees at most with asteroid aspects (3 degrees for conjunction), and 3-4 degrees for planetary aspects, as these are in the "strongly felt group".

Just think of how the ecclipses are defined.
There has to be a Sun-Moon-conjunction or opposition with the nodal axis near.

However the ecclipse happens only in a certain orb between Sun and Moon.

Yesterday`s ecclipse started with Sun-Moon having an orb of 1°29 and it ended with Sun-Moon orb of 1°33.

so as you can see ther eis a tight orb needed for an ecclipse to occur which is nothing else but a full or newmoon with the addition of the nodal axis nearby. However, the position of the Moon decided the end and start of the ecclipse as it moves the quickest.

If you feel like this, chances are that there are tight aspects in your synastry or composite, sometimes it also occurs in the progressed charts.

I second that.

the asteroids are just like that, asteroids of fate, depends how they are aspected.

ATROPOS conjunct Valentine and trine Amor and Eros in synastry? Nice. Inescapable love, who wouldn´tw ant that?

ATROPOS it that which can`t be turned away (tropos: turn; A: negation). Fate.

However, since Atropos cuts the thread, it also shows how we deal with endings, losses and rise up again.

And i saw Ceridwen's post elsewhere that she checked also Arachne, and i checked it too. OK! Makes sense. It is exactly conjunct his Jupiter and thus mine Atropos as well. And it's also conjunct my ASC in my natal chart. So i'm getting even more confused.

Another thing that just struck me, how didn't i see it before? Of course, i saw it, but somehow didn't actually realize that it might be significant.
