Hi Ami! 
Well what I noticed is that minor aspects in the composite as well as the natal chart are also important, even though slightly less felt than if it were a nonminor aspect. But still!
Somehow, I am still not sure about minor aspects in synastry. They don't seem very strong for me and my relationships unless they are 1 degree or less. But with more experience, hopefully I will learn more about them.
I think the "Ideal Compatibility" link in my signature explains the minor aspects in composite that I feel are most important pretty well. I noticed in composites, that when you look up minor aspects between planets that cannot ever be anything but conjunct or opposite each other in composite, the computerized astro reports online give it the same interpretation as if it were a conjunction. I have found this to be really valid, although the aspect does seem to be felt slightly less. Such planets in the composite would be Sun, venus, and mercury, basically. Neither of those can ever be anything but conjunct or opposite each other. ie You can't have sun square venus in composite or sun square mercury. Also, I noticed that oppositions between those three planets are also described the same way as the conjunction, probably because the planet could easily have been on the other side of the chart, since it's a midpoint, and being conjunct it instead. Also, for luminaries aka the sun and moon, in the composite.....it seems that orbs can be very wide for conjunctions and still be felt. I have noticed that very wide conjunctions between sun and other planets especially can still be felt even though astro.com does not count them.
I count whatever the composite at astro.com shows in the aspect grid shown below the chart.
As far as the rest of the minor aspects you may be curious about. It's pretty simple, really. The negative minor aspects get the same interpretation as softer squares, the positive ones count like soft sextiles. That's pretty much it. Any pluto aspects in composite are of course going to be powerful. Moon in negative aspect to venus seems to be very powerful as well, as well as the obvious minor aspects that cause the love stellium as described in the link in my signature titled "Ideal Compatibility." When things are unclear as to why two people were drawn to each other because major aspects indicating such strong attraction aren't present, the minor aspects in composite seem to reveal the answers. Same goes for, indications of unrequited love, mistreatment, power struggles. ETC
All I meant to say in my post is that minor aspects shouldn't be ignored.
If you're interested in seeing the minor aspects in your natal chart I recommend doing a free sample natal reading from thefutureminders.com and putting your birth info in both of the profiles. It's very insightful.
Hope that helped
