Composite Multiple Conjunctions

Macbeth · #1 04-17-2012, 09:21 AM

Hi there, I am very curious about a triple conjunction of Sun, Saturn and Jupiter which is opposite Venus with Mars Square to both ends of the opposition. Pluto is trine this triple conjunction too! Finding it hard to find information on the Web regarding multiple conjunctions and am wondering if anyone could shed some light on this combination and its' other aspects. Macbeth

If you'd like to pursue your search more, try refining it by using astrological terminology.

A multiple conjunction is referred to as a stellium. This can refer to the conjunction like you have, or it can refer to three or more planets in one sign. The conjunction is, of course more powerful. In a stellium, all of the planets are activated at the same time by transits and they work with one voice. It's nearly impossible to distinguish one planet from the next.

So in this instance, we have Sun, Saturn and Jupiter. Essentially, this sun has been modified to always be cautiously optimistic. Try taking key words that describe all of the planets and putting them together to being understanding how your stellium works.

Sun: Saturn: Jupiter:
Self Rules Optimism
Life Restrictions Faith
Soul Structure Buoyancy
Purpose Discipline Expansion

Now put it together:

Self imposed rules structured in such a way to keep faith and optimism at optimal levels.

or

A relationship in which the main purpose is to develop discipline and faith in equal measure.

You can go on and on in this manner and it would ALL be right. It would also be modified by sign, but I'll let you play with that on your own.

The second thing that you'll wan to research is T-square. This is the aspect that you pointed out. It's the stellium opposed by Venus and squared by Mars. In a t-square there is always an apex planet (or the planet that works as the release point for all of that incompatible energy). It is always the planet that forms the square to the other two. In this case, it is Mars.

Now what's interesting about your T-square is that it involves planets that all dispose one another.

Mars rules Scorpio, and thus Venus takes it cues from mars in this chart. Venus rules Taurus and thus the entire stellium takes it cues from Venus. The sun rules Leo and thus Mars takes it's cues from the Sun. What does this mean? Well, it takes a potentially explosive or at least trying aspect and soothes it quite a bit. The reason is that the planets, even though they are at odds by aspect with each other, are all 'communicating' very well and doing a great job and showing each other the best way to operate in their given situation.

That's a real boon when you have a t-square involving, Mars/Venus/Saturn. In fact, I'd say that it makes that t-square a rather strong and positive aspect in your chart as opposed to a downer one. Dynamic!

If I were you and curious about this particular chart, I'd also look into Chiron exactly conjunct the ascendant. That will likely prove to be a very important bit of information for you.

Yes, this aspect stood out to me as well - Uranus is also exactly conjunct the descendant and in opposition to Chiron. This could bring some instability into the relationship, or there is also the possibility of manifesting strong healing energies between you, perhaps for a greater purpose.

The Sun-Saturn-Jupiter conjunction might make you swing between the opposites of living it out and holding back as far as the attraction (aspects to and between Mars and Venus) between you is concerned.

The trine to Pluto is a bit far out (over 7° orb) to be taken into account in this constellation, it is better to only look at the close aspects in synastry and composites - of which you have quite a few, actually the aspects we are discussing are very close- most of them almost exact!! In my experience when a number of really close aspects show up in a composite, it's an indication of a very strong connection between 2 people, plus Saturn is involved in this too, so the relationship may feel fated or have a karmic nature.

Robert Hand has pointed out in his composite chart book, that there are 2 points in the chart for each midpoint. The one usually read is the one that has the shortest distance between the planets involved. The other point is directly opposite. So an opposition is also a conjunction and vice verse. Often times astrologers forget that a conjunction is also a hard aspect, like a square or an opposition. So if you can find information about the Venus conjunct the rest, it should read fairly similar. Liz Greene does not consider 2 points interchanging as valid. I am apt to go with Hand.

Thank you for such a huge amount of feed back!! It all seems to fit so clearly. Very excited about continuing my study on this chart as I am fascinated with the energy this relationship has and how relevant the aspects are. I will definitely look into purchasing a book on composites and continue my study on the different aspects between people. I know synastry charts are also relevant. Thank you again, forever greateful!!!

I actually prefer synastry charts myself.

Good luck and have fun.

Money problems for sure, conflicts with possessions, assets and income also accommodations. Venus is not well aspected at all and there are no planets in the house of long term relationships or commitment. The 6th house has Uranus conjunct Moon and therefore you may have disruptions with places that you rent, live in but do not own. I just wonder what keeps you together frankly. Synastry is contradictory and confusing and does not show the relationship as a whole.

It can be but its no more confusing or contradictory than a natal chart on its own. Let's face it, we are all contradictory inside.

I myself prefer to see how two people will actually deal with one another. If there is no real connection than I find that its pointless to look a composite. However, if that's all that's provided than that's what I go with.
