I'm still fairly new to analysis of composites, I'm more of a synastry kinda gal. Reading the complexity of Todd's posts on here though has gotten me far more into the study of composite charts of late... (Todd how *do* you determine all the midpoints from a picture, I often wonder....)

Anyway I have a situation where I've realised recently that I'm still in love with a man, I thought I'd got over a while ago. With Mercury retrograde a lot of memories and feelings have been flooding back and I'm wondering whether we could, now we're both grown up enough, finally build something, a relationship together...

Our composite is quite strong, it features a kite with Neptune opposite Moon in the mix, and a grand trine of Sun-Mercury, Moon, Pluto.

I realise Moon opposite Neptune is frowned upon, but since we are both musicians (him professionally) this aspect has a notable significance.

I wonder if Moon-Neptune oppositions are the signature of musical connections! :-) We have one both ways in synastry anyway, so it's not a composite feature, it's a standard feature. I love it for the telepathy and how magical it makes the music.

Any views on kites in a composite?? Can they bring stability to two people who are terrified of love...? ¢¾

there are some mental shortcuts. the easiet to understands involves planets that are trine or sextile by sign. so if mars at3 leo and venus is at 13 libra all you have to do is find the difference,i,e, subtract the lowest value from the higher value. the difference being 10 between them,then divide by 2 which gives 5 and add this to the lower value which would give a midpoint of 8 virgo.

squares by sign take a little more thinking. but to keep it simple say mars is at 8 leo and venus is at22scorp....square by signs.. do the same thing subtract 8 from 22 getting 14, divide by 2 getting 7. add 7 to the lower value getting 15 leo. now the trick.. add 15 degrees(this is not based on getting 15 leo) thi gets you to o virgo now add 30 degrees that put you a 0 libra which is the midpoint.

work on these. and if you understand them, I have short cuts for oppositions and inconjunct by sign methods also.

I can do these in my head usually but just jot these down on paper at first till you get the knack

I appreciate it. Also, whilst we're talking 'shop' you have quite a unique take on some parts of your readings. I like how you interpret the nodes, and I understand your take on the planets and midpoints, it's the newbies like Ixion, Sedna etc. You have a very clear view on their meanings and I've not really integrated them into my readings myself.

Do you work from experience here, or is there a source you feel you can trust... (if you don't mind sharing..?)

I use a combination of research and mythology. the traditional planets interpretation stem from the myths, so I accept that the new planets and asteroids also will a function of their myths. so ixion for example is quite malicious as he was the first to bring killing onto the mix.
then ich3ck my own chart to see if I have the symbol in a significant position. with ixion ,it is conjunct my mars/Neptune conjunction in the 8th opposed to juno.without going into details,i will say my life has been put in danger by family memebers (ixion) so then I applied it to others and it always betrayed a some what sinister motive if not actually murder.

in addition I do research to new symbols. for instance sedan, though it is part of a native north American mythology I reaearche what occurred every time the node was conjunct to Sedna. this method ,when a correlation is found only gives maybe 3 positive hits out of 6 time peropds checked,which is sufficient for me to use the symbol.
sedna was exceptional as it gave the same scenario inevery case.
I psoted the correlations atastro.com and AW and will try to find them. but briefly every node/sedna conjunction correlated with every major case of espionage since the 40's.
in the 40's it correlated with a corruption trial in LA ca. but other than that ALL espionage cases happened under sedna.from this I intuited that sedna had to do with revealing cultural truths and applying this tio natals, it has always worked. that is the individauls totally identifies with the importance of honest in their lifes. you've seen how I use it in composites and itseems always to describe a commitment to honesty in relationships when posited strongly.

but honest and truth are dangerous impulses as we live in a world shrouded in evil. I have read other researchers that correlate sedna with murder. and this is explained by someone revealing truth at the wrong time or revealing truth in the face of a greater evil. from my node/sedna research I found a case as mentioned about corruption in LA.Ca. in the 40's. I don't remember the specifics except that a young lady who was to testify was found dead by her car along the highway. her neck was broken and the coroner ruled an accidental death. so sedna is not simply truth versus lies, but sedna has do do with higher truth or cultural truths.

so that is the bare basics as how I exopand my use of symbols.

I apply the same to asteroids.
but fundemantally everything I do and know has its basis in the nodes.
I have had a intuitive understanding of astrology since I began studying astrology. but after only 7 months during which every chart I did was met with accolades and positve disbelief, I had a epiphany one day. this was when I realized how completely the nodes were the basis for all of astrology. from that moment on I was able to forecast events with nearly 100% accuracy.
