I am still pondering the asteroids; not knowing quite how to approach them in a reading.

Still learning…

If Juno is strongly and positively placed in a composite, the couple will be one of those who make good executive decisions together about the partnership. They can usually see it in perspective and garner strength and support from it. They know they are on equal footing, especially in the house it resides in. Aspects to Juno can often reveal how the partners regard the relationship itself. Square to Pluto, for example, there may be power plays that arise that threaten the health of the partnership. A strongly placed Juno will strengthen the sense of partnership and belonging, no matter the aspects.

Thanks for sharing. It is so generous..

I always had this doubt about composites.
Why is it that only the midpoint between similar planets are given importance?
When two people interact why is the sun/sun and moon/moon midpoints more important than say A’s sun and B’s moon?

There is something called composite sun and composite moon and their aspects are important and reveal something about the relationship. Doesn’t the midpoint between different planets and their aspects say anything. If so aren’t we missing a huge deal in not having a chart for all these midpoints?

As for #2, well–if we only measured an astrological chart by the parts we use consciously or willingly, we would have a very poor showing indeed. The reason astrology works is because it’s based on mathematical principle (I see all my Basics Redux students smiling). The half way point between my Mars and your Mars is an absolute point, and will show how and where the Mars interact, no matter if I am aware of it or not.

I have two questions regarding composite charts:

1. When would you consider the composite to come into being for a relationship? Does it kick into effect when the couple makes official commitment to one another or when they first meet perhaps?

I have heard theories that the longer the two persons interact or have known each other, the more powerful a composite can be felt since it is been tested by various transits.

2. A friend of mine is a bit skeptical towards midpoint composites as the concept of midpoint itself suggests meeting the other person halfway. I partially agree with her since no relationships are perfectly balanced with the same give and take as far as I am aware. But I have also noticed that the composite does tell a story of its own, so I would be very interested in hearing your thoughts.

Thanks in advance!
