Does anyone know the strongest to weakest aspects in synastry? my guess is the semi sextile is the weakest and the conjunction is the strongest... anyone care to list

That depends on what you mean by "weak" vs. "strong"

Generally, in the natal chart, two criteria are used to consider an aspect as strong:
-to be a major aspect
- to be a tight aspect

However, in my experience, wider major aspects could be much stronger in a natal chart than some tight ones, depending on the geometry. For example, a wide opposition could be much more definitory for a chart than some other tight aspect.

Regarding those aspects considered "minor", I think there isn't sufficient research on them. For example, I know how strongly my 5 deg Venus/Jupiter opp plays out in my chart, but I can't tell if it surpasses the influence of my exact Venus/Pluto semisextile/parallel.

When it comes to synastry, my opinion is "weak" should be an aspect that doesn't do much to connect those two people, while "strong" would be a very connective aspect between them. In this respect, I consider as weak synastric aspects those aspects - major and minor - that do not satisfy the natal geometric completion needs.

For example, let's consider someone has a Sun/Moon/Saturn GT in their chart, houses 2nd/6th/10th and the person has the DSC in Pisces.

Someone bringing a square to their Sun or Moon doesn't do much for them, it may be felt, but not in a connective way. But, if someone brings a planet in their 12th house, even with a wider orb, making a Kite with their GT, so creating sextile/opp aspects, that person would have the strongest impact on them, and probably stronger than the same planet falling in houses 8th or 4th.

Let's say now someone has a chart based on semisextiles - an incomplete 12th star - the strongest synastric aspect would be with someone completing the star, hence bringing some semisextile aspect.

I had to reread what you wrote 3 times Leeloo to grasp what you wrote and i think i understand now. You and the other interpersonal astrology moderators need to get together and write a astrological synastry book with moderator iQ

Thank you for your kind words, Ruden. I would be honored to co-write a book with many of the moderators and users here. About IQ...there's a saying by one of the world's greatest artists, Constantin Brancusi "In the shadow of great trees, only the grass grows"
