wide orbed synastry aspects

[darkdreamer]

Hello all,

I usually look for the tightest connections in a synastry.
But there`s a case, which puzzles me a bit, because there`s a wide orbed Venus-Mars-conjunction, which is part of a stellium, and I don`t know if that counts as a conjunction or not.

His Venus is conjunct my Mars by 8° (his Venus is also parallel my Mars by 00°09).
The involved planets are:

His Juno: 02° Sagittarius
My Amor: 02° Sagittarius
My Mars: 05° Sagittarius
My AC: 07° Sagittarius
His Cupido: 07° Sagittarius
His AC: 09° Sagittarius
my True Node: 10° Sagittarius
My Neptune: 10° Sagittarius
his Venus: 13° Sagittarius

It seems to me like one big knob of planets and asteroids.
And I wonder if the Venus-Mars-conjunction may be "working" despite the rather wide orb.

Comments, anyone, please?

Dear DD,

All those planets and asteroids are considered "conjunct." As a matter of fact, the ancients considered aspects by SIGN, so that Venus at 6 Cancer was opposed to Mars at 22 Capricorn.

My husband's Venus is 27 Aquar. and my Mars is 4 Pisces. Believe me, they are conjunct....

Dear Amoroso,

thank you for your reply. I`m always confused if I shall use wide or tight orbs. There seem to exist so many different opinions regarding that matter.
But yes I think, I feel the impact of that aspect. Well, at least those times when I`m not busy trying to run away. ;D
It`s been one up-and-down "I love you - I love you not"-thing.
But even though I`ve tried to cut the ties, it seems impossible for me to forget him.
Well, there`s also a little bit of Eros-Psyche-action between us in the Draconic charts and the Davison chart.
My natal Eros is conjunct his Draco Psyche (orb: 0°02)
My Draco Eros is opposite his natal Psyche (orb: 3°00)
And in the Davison chart we have a wide Eros-Psyche-conjunction (orb: about 7°), with the Node falling onto the midpoint of Eros and Psyche.
Also synastrically we have a lot of Node-connections.
His Node conjunct my Antivertex, opposite my Saturn; also my Antivertex sits on the midpoint of his Antivertex-Node-conjunction.
My Node conjunct his Ascendant, Neptune, Venus and widely opposite my Saturn.
So, there may be more reasons than that Venus-Mars-conjunction that make it hard to forget him.

But to come back to my question: would you say that a wide-orbed conjunction is stronger, if there are other planets or angles making aspects to both planets?
Like in my example: Could i consider his AC as some kind of a bridge between my Mars and his Venus, connecting those planets even more strongly as if they were the only ones in Sagittarius?
