just a short question.

which planets do you attribute to each gender?

Sun and Mars to men?
Moon and Venus to women?

Or some others?

I was considering if that works in marriage charts, too, and though I never have been really fond of the "gender-distinction", it seems to work more often than not (though the planets seems to have a double function).

Ok so this is a great question! I wondered myself because I'm female and tend to be aggressive in my relationships. What about the other outer planets? Pluto and Uranus = masculine?

Also, do you think there is any significance with composite planets conjunct natals? For example, I have composite moon conjunct my natal Uranus and he has composite sun/jupiter conjunct Venus. There's a blend between masculine and feminine (I've considered Uranus to be masculine but perhaps I am mistaken?) Todd - wondering if you've looked at this in greater detail throughout your learning process? Seems like you have a strong opinion on composites and I'm very intrigued by your methods and how you arrive at your interpretations! Many thanks to you! Love LOVE studying what you provide in your posts!

hi llewscam

the questions on this forum are really excellent as I m sometimes hard pressed to define in my own mind how I interpret some symbols.

I generally don't give gender to unconscious planets in composites. though I do lean toward pluto a male symbol, but even here I see it as unconscious selfishness, which can affect either gender.

for purposes of composite opposite sex charts, I look to the conscious planets for gender identification. though as I have always said, a woman can be identified by male symbol depending on the activities of the souls personality structure in this life.

ufortunately I on't do a lot of cross referencing to natals and composites.my conceptualization of composites are that they are coherent energy fields and can be read apart from the charts whose frequencies crate the composite interference pattern.
I think the meshing of natals I extremely important when one deals with same sex or multiple composites. I focus on composite singularly because so many times the beginning and end as well as the timing of various activities and emotional displays are exactly captured by transits dates.
synastry is very difficult to actually give dates because you have to consider two charts and decide which natal transit would affect the relationship and which don't.
so basically as composite give exact dates in some cases, I choose ot emphasize the singularity of the composite as a complete "entity" in itself. it is also a question of economy.
i don't feel I've answered your question very well but as i said, the quality of the questions here ,are making me reflect on what i do believe.

Do you think its worthwhile however to view comp planets to natal to understand how that might trigger a permanent feeling for the native involved? Perhaps not permanent per se, but a focused energy? I'm really curious about this. I would invite any other takers on this topic as well.

Todd, I'm evaluating composite charts quite differently now with your technique. Looking forward to more dude. Thanks.

I think all astrological techniques you be explored. but I am abit dogmatic it looking to a comp to understand the tof a relationship without needing to cross reference with natals.
so many tines one hears" well, he/she wasn't like that when we were dating but after we got together etc..." I think this reflects that the composite will show the nature of personality changes after a relationship is consummate. Aspects that may not have been apparent when dating.
as I have said most of this applies to opposite composites. natal cross over are very important tin same sex or multiple composites, again I don't feel I am getting to the point of your question.mainly because I do not have experience in the applications you are asking about.
