The MATH behind a composite has everything to do with "synastry Phases", is what I'm discovering more and more on another plane than used to / my current focus. It's a very very complex thing to all get and it probably takes years to fully absorb. But eey, the first signs of accuracy when looking at our famous couples are stunningly inspiring.

Namely, Looking deeper and deeper into the (phase-geometry/synastry behind the) Composite, we start to see "composite aspect errors" occur, compared to what in-fact we would/should call "the more astronomically tuned (phase)-opposition". And yes, this brings me back to all the ones stating "Composite = TOO MUCH MATH!" without (often) being too much aware of the true WHY-implications. Fact is, since I start to see more deeply behind the curtain, they have a point with it. It simply seems to miss a more astronomically based true astrology.

It feels a bit as going beyond the Cochrane way/method.. by ey still in its infancy here.

She has the waning sextile.
Him a waxing trine.

THAT ^ is what I would call a true astronomically based opposing phase with a very high degree of attraction and completion.

Going through my database I see these kind of opposing phases time-after-time in longterm relationships (I mainly look at Venus/Mars and Sun/Moon for that).

But Cochrane however, pinpoints "opposing phases" as being traceable in the Composite as conjunctions and oppositions. But the phases then will be like this;

- waning (semi-)sextile
- waxing (semi-)sextile

OR

- waning trine
- waxing trine

OR;

- 10 deg past the opposition
- 10 deg before the opposition

etc.

note: I really start to have problems with calling the latter ones and its family "opposing phases" as in fact, they aren't TRUE astronomically based opposing phases..
On the other hand, these are;

- waning quincunx
- waxing semi-sextile

- waning square
- waxing square

- conjunction
- opposition

- waxing sextile
- waning trine

- 17 deg past the waxing quincunx
- 17 deg past waning semi-sextile

etc.

Another important symmetrie from Cochrane's perspective is the "same phase angle", one you won't find that much as the opposing phase. But one outstanding example we find of this one is with Paul and Linda Mccartney. BUT... theirs is not JUST a same phase angle, but an EXACT one striking enough, to-the-degree!

But it's all very clear around that one for everyone, namely: with both the Moon is ahead or behind the Sun with (globally) the same amount of degrees. Technically: the midpoint between her Sun and his Moon is conjunct/opp the midpoint of his Sun and her Moon.
