On the Vital Components of Intimate Synastry

By John Yale

This article will cover a whole set of what I consider to be relationship vitals, in terms of astrological jargon that is. The observation of certain planetary or angular aspects and configurations should allow the astrologer to gain a conception of whether or not a relationship can work or not. I’ve observed over hundreds of couples that bonds are stronger when there are more vitals present in the synastric layout and that the timing of important developmental dates (marriage, divorce, love affairs, etc.) include the activation of these vital components by transit or progression from certain planets.Relationships are created in many ways. We often say there are sparks or that there is chemistry when two people bond sparks go off. When two people have chemistry they react to each other very quickly. In astrology these notions are very well consumed by the nature of hard aspects. Squares and oppositions, for example, create events, they are like the spark plugs in your car that get the motor running, they tell us to rise to the challenge, they move us forward and put us into action, often with little choice or free-will. So the nature of hard aspects not only create chemistry between two people but they also create events in all areas of life. The 90 degree angle is fundamental in the construction industry as is its half, the 45. When we have a foundation that is square we can build upon it very easily. Metaphorically, 90 degrees and its multiples are the building blocks of life.

The major pinpoints in history, in our own personal history, are marked by 4th Harmonic aspects especially (the division of the 360 degree circle from a certain point or planet into 4 equal pieces and the points or planets that fall on each divisional axis, either 0, 180 and or 90 degrees away). 90 is ¼ of 360, therefore any aspect that is a multiple of 90 is included in the 4th Harmonic. Do not be misled by the term Harmonic as it does not suggest that its inclusive aspects are of the harmonious nature whatsoever. It simply suggests that the Harmonic is a mathematically harmonious division. Simply put, conjunctions, oppositions and squares give us our experiences in life.
