It’s funny as I was just talking about Virgos and their love of simplicity in my last article. I went onto an astrology forum to look for today’s question and found a rather long synastry list of aspects (see further below). It’s very thorough, I’ll give them that, but sometimes less is more. Firstly, the sheer volume here is intense (understatement of the century)! A Virgo’s natural inclination might be to trim, pare down, and organize this opus into the “core essentials” rather than the sprawling list of every possible quindecile and bi-quintile aspect between Mars and your asteroid Valentine. Certainly, it’s easy to be swept away by the mystical meaning of Kaali, Siva, and even the notorious Isolde/Tristan dynamics. However, unless you’re tracking an archetypal journey or writing a novel inspired by the stars, these asteroid aspects are like gilding the lily. Fascinating? Yes. Essential? Not so much.

In synastry, we get far with the “big players”—Sun, Moon, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and some Pluto (you know, the classics). You’ve got a lot of powerful aspects here, though undeniably complex. You have the key aspects you need to assess the connection’s durability, challenges, and attractions. Everything beyond is garnish for a Virgo—sprinkling stardust but perhaps veering into excess. So, my advice: Stick to the major aspects for insight, and for real-world compatibility.

The quindeciles, sesquiquadrates, and all those other less-common aspects—while they add color and subtlety—aren’t usually essential in synastry readings, especially when you’re trying to get a clear picture of the relationship’s core dynamics. In most cases, the traditional aspects—conjunctions, oppositions, trines, sextiles, and squares—give you all you need to understand the relationship’s main themes. The minor aspects, especially the quindecile (with its intense, sometimes obsessive undertones), might be fascinating footnotes but not pillars of compatibility.

There’s a certain devotion in this level of detail. It’s truly beautiful when someone pours their energy into something like this. The meticulousness here reveals not just a fascination with astrology, but a reverence for the person on the other side of this synastry. It says, “Look, I’m leaving no stone unturned to understand this person better.” And I think there’s something undeniably lovely—Virgo-like, even—in this level of dedication. So, perhaps it’s a bit much, but perhaps that’s the point.

“I would very much appreciate your take at this synastry. Please bear in mind the numbers (like “1d” or “3d”) stand for ORB for the aspects..! I ll explain further after your input!”
