The "Minor" Synastry Aspects You are unlikely to find predominance because of the orb used for the so-called "Minor" aspects. However they form an important role i n assessin the rid because they operate at a less conscious! more subliminal level. The Semisuare implies discontent. #t can illustrate a lack of trust in the relationship. There is an unwillinness to o all the way to a full blown aspects! and irritation and conflict is rarely addressed! but they seem to et half way but then back off. $hen semi-suares are tr iered! old habits and irritations loom lare and take on ridiculous proportions. $hat miht seem a cute little habit when you are in the lister of first love becomes the straw that can break the camels back in %& year's time and the issues (ust simmer alon until a transit triers them. Apparently 'ood' relationship can then break under the strain of what miht seem to others a trivial issue. The Sesuisuare implies onoin but unreconised irritants. This is a bit like the semi suare e)cept there miht be a bit more chance of facin it. #ndeed it is faced so many times as a dynamic in the relationship that it eventually becomes a reliable source of conflict in what miht otherwise be a dull e)istence. #t takes irritation and makes it full blown frustration. #t can however! lead to confrontin and issue at least! usually after a lon period. *ut residual animosity tends to remain. $hen this aspect appears freuently in relationships rid! the partners will tend to take thins to e)tremes to test each other. The +uincun) is a very difficult aspect.
There are charts where this takes dominance and they are to)ic relationships. ,enerally said to be the areas where ad(ustments have to be made! if one has to ad(ust to the point of losin focus then it is a sinister aspect. The +uincun) "swins" between a trine and opposition. There is a constant shiftin of enery that can be wearin. This aspect is the stuff of the victim perpetrator and one hopes not to find it e)cept in small numbers. Too many and the chances of the relationship bein healthy are remote. #t occurs commonly in charts where one partner is alcoholic! sick! or escapes responsibility throuh infidelity or illness and the other takes the strain. The uincun) erodes the relationship. #t is like standin talkin to someone and they don't make eye contact! their eyes flick from left to riht but never directly at you! you're not even sure they are listenin and then you start to feel uneasy! edy and uptiht. #f you've e)perienced that you understand how disconcertin it can be. $ell! imaine that as a constant dynamic in a relationship! an uneasy! fearful feelin. #t's enouh to erode any relationship. #t's almost like developin an allery to each other! and can in fact ive real physical symptoms. Hypochondria is part of this dynamic! the ultimate cop out! the 'escape into sickness' syndrome and you wonder who is the perpetrator and who is the victim. You never really know e)cept that someone is carryin the load. Ad(ustment implies chane and too many ad(ustments imply complete chane. A few uincun)es miht be fruitful for individual personal chane to accommodate the needs of another! but too many are too demandin. The +uintile is the creative! willin risk takin! playful and (oyful dimension of the relationship. #f you find these there is (oy to be found in the relationship. #t miht be throuh children! throuh work or (ust simply en(oyment of each other and a common involvement with arts! music etc. These people are prepared to take a few chances! and will tend to lay it all on the line to each other so there is indwellin honesty. This is where the love affair can continue into old ae. #t is a solar kind of enery and if it's between personal planets! they each shine and bask in each other's low. #t occurs in partnerships in artistic fields. #ndividually they may be mediocre but toether they're dynamite. They bounce off each other! feed each other! inspire and resonate off each other. The vibration is wonderful. #t brins the facet of playfulness to the relationship! a childlike uality that means there is an area! which is fun. So! of the minor aspects you can't do better than a uintile. #t's the *est riend enery that can keep a relationship alive and vital. *ut it oes a little further because it empowers the individuals to be creative and fruitful within the relationship. The Septile carries both spiritual overtones and shadow undertones. A few septiles imply spiritual bondin. There is rapport at a mental level/ one intuits the thouhts of the other. There is a psychic link! a readin of minds and unitin of thouhts that is almost telepathic. However! if there's too much mental or psychic linkin it can become intrusive. 0ne miht not want the other to tune in to their thouhts1 Too many septiles can intrude in a sinister way and creates an environment whereby shadows come out to play. The 2ovile implies the search for perfection.
#t illustrates what one miht e)pect or hope for in the relationship and may or may not find. 2oviles in a Synastry hihliht areas where there is a possibility of 'trap settin' dynamics because of preconditioned e)pectations. 3ike the Septile it operates like an unconscious harmonic vibration and may well have a lot to do with childhood e)pectations. You fall in love with an idea4l5. Archetype meets archetype - the handsome prince and princess swoon1 Then reality strikes and in reality thins are not as e)pected. #t can be wonderful when someone measures up to the ideal and creates an e)chane whereby there is a sense of dreams comin true. *ut this aspect can also promote an environment of testin and trap settin. Too many of these and partners are constantly settin the other up for failure. 6ven when they pass a test! there's another around the corner1 #n a eneral sense! the main aspects plus a few of the main 'minor' one should ive a chart with enouh space for enery to move. $hen you use the Synastry rid! it doesn't need to be picked to pieces and e)amined throuh specific individual aspects unless there is an issue. Many of these issues will arise throuh contacts by transit or proression to one of the partner's natal planets and constellate and emere! throuh the dynamics of the enery contacts in the relationship. The overview! the individual natal charts! and aspects involved in the 'hot spot' that is focussed by transits and proressions ive a clear picture of issues and enable creative dialoue and hopefully! resolution. www.panplanet.comarticlesaspects.html
