Synastry VS Composite?

Which do you put more weight in with compatibility? Synastry supposedly has more "play room" since it deals with you each individualy, where composite is firm, as you can't change the combined energy....
I didn’t know this. Going to do a composite chart now. I’ve always done synastry ones
"First, it helps to know how synastry and composite charts work. Synastry is the impact you and your partner have on each other. The composite chart is the energy of the relationship. The biggest difference is that you have more control over a synastry aspect than a composite aspect. That’s because you are one half of the synastry aspect. And if your partner agrees to work with you, together you stand a good chance of moderating or enhancing that aspect’s impact on your lives. Obviously, you can’t completely erase a Venus/Saturn square between you, but you can certainly tackle it together. Composite aspects are more challenging, because you can’t approach them as you working on your planet, while your partner deals with their planet. Composite aspects are like natal aspects of a third entity. If you’ve ever been in a relationship that takes on a life of its own, or where you feel like a totally different person, that’s the composite chart in action."

OMG!!!! I just did the Virgo and I's Composite!!! Love

I don't know if I can believe this, seems too good to be true, if it's firm. A lot of this synastry stuff, I take with a grain of salt because I can get turned off by negativity so often. I'm gonna post it here. So far I'm loving it though! Thanks for the insight. Guess I should find out if he even likes me first! Laughing


Sun sextile Mars orb 3° 15'


You naturally inspire each other and become each other's confidence-builder, gently pushing the other to be more assertive. Not only do you support each other, but you take pride in each other's work, accomplishments and achievements.


As a couple, you will be active, energetic, courageous and able to accomplish a great deal. You will find that just being in each other's company energizes you and inspires you to try and excel even more. Sports, physical activities and outdoor pursuits will be your strengths and you will find that you do very well in them.

Because this is such an energetic configuration, the sexual side of your relationship may tend to rejuvenate you over and over again. This an excellent aspect for business and personal partnerships. As a couple, you seem to know the right course or path in life to take together and don't mind taking it. Any emergency situations that arise will be handled efficiently and with level-headed assurance, thus helping you stabilize each other and giving you tremendous strength.


Sun trine Jupiter orb 4° 41'

Jupiter brings substantial advantage, growth, progress, success and increase into your lives. Good fortune, achievement and blessings will arrive in ways that cannot be measured, simply by your being together. It can never be said that you want for anything with this aspect and, instead of limitations being placed upon you, opportunities never imagined can come your way. Higher thoughts of expression and philosophical and religious pursuits may become part of your daily life. Expanding your education or beliefs can be possible through this relationship.


You make each other happy just by being together and the world becomes a much more satisfying place for you because of your togetherness. Travel, especially the long distance kind, or connections to people of different cultures may also play an important part in your lives.


Success in all endeavors is indicated by this aspect. You may notice considerable financial improvement and the happiness you share will rub off on others as you seek to improve their lives as well. Sharing the good life may take its toll in the weight department, though, because Jupiter loves to expand whatever he touches, the old waist line included. You may also enjoy some surprising results with lotteries and speculations, as long as you don't over do it.


This aspect suggests that this will probably be a very strong platonic relationship. It will be filled with spiritual, metaphysical, intuitive and psychic energy that only the two of you understand. You will be able to very strongly sense each other's presence and you are able to tune into what the other person is thinking, even if you are not together. If either of you haven't considered the spiritual or psychic realms before, then you will with this aspect. People will view you as having your heads in the clouds, impervious to what is going on around you. This is the only danger because eventually you are going to have to come back down to earth and deal with reality.


Sun sextile Neptune orb 3° 47'

People around you will not see yours as a realistic relationship. They will view it as very impractical. Humanitarian and charitable acts as well as generosity for people less fortunate will serve to rebuild your lives in very special ways. You will do things you have never dreamed about before. Long distance travel together for pleasure, meditation, spiritual quests or for just being plain lazy are all effects of this aspect.


Don't let a lack of concern for material affairs keep you from doing your worldly duties. As long as we are on this planet, we do have earthly responsibilities that we must address. Avoiding these responsibilities will only bring trouble in the long run. Don't go looking for trouble - it will find you quick enough by itself.


Sun conjunct Pluto orb 1° 46'


Talk about destiny bringing two people together! That's what this relationship will feel like because you just can't seem to resist or avoid each other. This aspect signifies your getting more deeply into the depths of your inner selves than you ever before imagined. You will want to probe every element of your collective psyche.


You will have an intense and quite powerful effect on each other and this can be for good or ill. Once your bond is cemented, it will be very difficult to sever the ties that bind you. Psychic abilities and intuition become very strong for the two of you, helping to strengthen the bond. You may someday come to a crossroads in this relationship where Pluto will have your relationship come crashing down around you in order to rebuild it again at a much higher level than it was before, just like the Phoenix rising again from the ashes to be born anew. Great transformations are possible because of this aspect.


You can easily become each other's analyst whereby you point out all the good and bad aspects of your partner's personality that need to be changed and improved. Not only will you be a powerful force for change in your own lives, but in the lives of the people around you as well. Just be careful you don't turn this energy into mind-games or manipulative ploys in order to try and hold power over the other, as this would bring out the negative side of this aspect. If however, you apply this energy in positive ways, then you can be the healing or active force that transforms the lives of everyone around you. Should you decide to use this energy against others in negative ways, then they will band together at some point, perhaps violently, to put you down.


Longtime friends can come together as lovers with this aspect or perhaps you may simply join together to investigate the unknown and mysterious, thus coming up with some very enlightening finds. Whatever you do together is sure to effect groups or masses of people, so use your "power" wisely.
