Sun conjunct Sun

You share a common Sun sign position. This conjunction of Suns has some pluses and some
minuses. Certainly you understand each other, but you may both be trying to play the same
starring role in the relationship, with competition rather than cooperation the result. Much
depends on the nature of the sign involved. Signs that are cooperative by nature such as Libra
and Aquarius do better than the more demanding Aries or Leo. Mutable signs, Pisces, Virgo,
Gemini, may find the combination easy, but a sense of direction may be lacking in the match.
There is also the danger that individuals with the same Sun sign will goad each other to an
excessive display of the characteristics of this sign.
 
Sun conjunct Moon
When the Sun in one chart is conjunct with the Moon in the other, there is an extremely strong
indication of a powerful romantic relationship and potential for marriage. The Moon person is
emotionally in tune with the Sun person. This relationship works best if the Sun person is
naturally in a role of leadership. In a marriage relationship, this aspect shows a strong sexual
attraction. In this aspect, there is some tendency for the Sun to dominate the Moon to a degree. In
any event, the conjunction makes two people fast friends with a deep mutual understanding and
appreciation of one another. The spirit of cooperation is significant.
 
Sun conjunct Mercury
This conjunction suggests that the Sun, representing the will and power potential, has a great
deal of influence on Mercury and upon the Mercury person's thinking. At the same time, the
Mercury person has a good deal of influence on the Sun person as well, providing ideas and
mental stimulation. This conjunction shows a great deal of compatibility in an intellectual sense.
The ability to communicate in a very interesting and positive way is shown by this conjunction.
 
Sun conjunct Venus
This shows that you are in tune with each other socially, and that you will enjoy each other's
company; you simply have fun together. You tend to share the same interests and cultural values.
There is a strong emotional, intuitive link, and if other factors are favorable, this comparative
aspect contributes greatly to romantic attractions, and may be an indicator of marriage.
 
Sun conjunct Mars
This is a dynamic comparative combination which can lead to much accomplishment or conflict.
Conflicts are usually of the ego variety. If you are to get along harmoniously, you must develop a
healthy respect for one another's independence and free will. You are apt to have a good spirit of
competition, and sometimes this competition can get vicious. This conjunction often indicates
sexual attractions, but of itself doesn't indicate love or tenderness.
 
Sun conjunct Jupiter
This aspect shows a spirit of mutual generosity in the relationship; he is especially generous to
you. You tend to build up each other's confidence and optimism. You share many spiritual,
philosophic, and/or cultural values. This relationship will always tend to be honest and
aboveboard. In a marital relationships, this comparative combination indicates cooperation in
handling domestic responsibilities, especially the raising of children.
 
Sun conjunct Saturn
This is a very difficult aspect between charts. There may be jealousy, or a dampening of self-
confidence and enthusiasm. This comparative combination does not favor romantic relationships
because of the heavy authoritarian implications. However, when aspects do form in spite of this
aspect, the staying power of Saturn usually helps keep you together permanently.
 
Sun conjunct Uranus
This combination produces an interesting and unique relationship. Sudden, magnetic fascinations
are common with individuals showing this aspect. There are many surprises, and events may be
somewhat unpredictable. A strong sexual attraction is usually present. This can be a very
exciting and adventurous relationship, but not one that is apt to be very stable unless there are
other indicators of stability in the comparative analysis.
 
Sun conjunct Ascendant
You tend to reinforce each other's self-esteem and self-expression. Although this position can
produce a sense of competition, it is more apt to denote a very significant spiritual link between
two people. This is an extremely strong indicator of compatibility in a relation.
 
Sun sextile Sun
This aspect denotes friendship, communication, and cooperation in creative self-expression. You
tend to encourage one another and are apt to share pleasurable activities. This is a very positive
aspect for romantic relationships.
 
Sun sextile Moon
This is an aspect considered very good for cooperation and understanding. There is a
compatibility influence assuming that the Sun and Moon are compatible sign, i.e. Fire and Air, or
Earth and Water. This is a very good combination for family and domestic relationships.
 
Sun sextile Mercury
This comparative combination favors communication and intellectual friendships, and general
cooperation. The ability to communicate enables you to resolve problem areas in the
relationship.
 
Sun sextile Venus
You enjoy each other's company, and may share many common ideals and values. There is a
good deal of emotional understanding reflected in this combination. Though this doesn't
necessarily show marriage, it does help and favor marriage or romantic relationships.
 
Sun sextile Mars
This aspect denotes a rather energetic cooperation; you like to work together and get things done.
It suggests a friendly competition or stimulation to action and achievement. It is an aspect
helping romantic relations.
 
Sun sextile Jupiter
This aspect produces a cooperative attitude and generous friendship. You are likely to make
excellent traveling companions. There is general philosophical agreement at many levels.
 
Sun sextile Saturn
A favorable Sun/Saturn aspect is desirable because it gives such a tone of stability to the
relationship. This aspect produces serious friendships and cooperation in business and
organizational matters. It denotes an attitude of restraint, discipline, and stability in the
relationship. Though it does not of itself indicate marriage or romantic attraction, it does increase
the durability of such relationships.
 
Sun sextile Uranus
This aspect generally denotes unusual friendships, or meeting under extraordinary circumstances.
There is likely to be an inexplicable and immediate attraction. Though associated with romantic
attractions, this aspect doesn't of itself indicate an enduring relationship.
 
Sun sextile Ascendant
This aspect suggests that you are able to direct your wills effectively in working together. It's
effective in working toward mutual goals and enhancing one another's self-image. This is an
indicator of romantic and sexual attraction, and it's also favorable for harmony in a marriage
relationship.
 
Sun square Sun
A square between the natal Sun in your respective charts denotes a continuing ego conflict. You
may tend to interfere in one another's creative self-expression. Resistance and resentment is apt
to build up in the relationship if special efforts to be tolerant are not exercised. In marriage,
raising children can be a problem with many differing views as to methods. Serious differences
in attitudes in many areas.
 
Sun square Moon
This is a very difficult comparative combination for family, marital, and romantic relationships.
Just as the best relationships are those showing the Sun and Moon in harmonious aspect, the
adversity of the square can denote serious challenges. You will find it very hard and unnatural to
adapt to each other's temperament, as well as the general pace and style of living. Major
disagreements about the handling of finances, business affairs, and the raising of children often
arise. Frequently, these are the results of differences in family background or deep-seated
emotional habit patterns.
 
Sun square Mercury
This aspect causes communication difficulties in the relationship. When this aspect is active, you
tend to boss him around too much. This aspect also suggests some major differences in the
intellectual outlook.
 
Sun square Venus
This placement denotes difficulties in romantic interaction between a couple. Often producing
romantic and sexual attractions, this aspect does not favor marriage or serious romantic
relationships unless these difficult issues can be resolved. Real emotional sensitivity and caring
may be lacking, and the association is more likely to be based on pleasure seeking and
sensuality. There can be disagreements in social and cultural issues, and in the handling of
financial affairs.
 
Sun square Mars
This is one of the most difficult comparative combinations because it produces violent conflicts
and disagreements, although it also tends to indicate an attraction as well. The level on which
these conflicts are expressed will vary depending on other factors in the chart, but the extreme
range can include everything from a competition and some friction in the relationship, to actual
physical abuse. This is not a good combination for any sort of relationship as you are likely to
react to each other impulsively rather than thoughtfully, and when it is found in marital
relationships, there must be a conscious effort not to argue and fight.
 
Sun square Jupiter
With this combination natural tendencies toward excesses, expressed by either individual, are
likely to be extended and inflated. Extravagance, overconfidence, and overextending will be a bi-
product of the relationship. You tend to encourage each other's tendencies toward self-
indulgence and impracticality. This is not a good relationship for raising a family because there
is a tendency to ignore responsibility and too much is taken for granted. In romantic relationships
difficulties arise over differences in philosophic, religious, or moral viewpoints.
 
Sun square Saturn
This is a very difficult aspect because it shows a repressive tone to the relationship. Ego conflicts
and a clash of wills are not unusual with this combination. In a close personal relationship or
marriage, this aspect shows difficulties, burdens, and discouraging effects. You may look at your
responsibilities to one another as burdens and find it difficult to be fun loving and spontaneous in
each other's presence. The Sun person may think of the Saturn partner as something of a "wet
blanket."
 
Sun square Uranus
This combination may produce extremely strong attractions of very short and unstable duration.
There is an attitude of rebellion likely in this relationship. You may tend to find him very
unreliable and undependable in certain ways. Cooperation in any sort of relationship is difficult
to maintain.
 
Sun Square Ascendant
This aspect denotes a clash of wills and there is a sense of conflict involved regarding the effect
of the relationship on individual independence. On the positive side, if the overall comparison is
good and both of you are sufficiently mature, this aspect can spell dynamic cooperation in your
mutual activities.
 
Sun trine Sun
This is an excellent comparative combination for mutual compatibility. You have many similar
values and you're likely to be natural friends. This is a helpful aspect for romantic relationships
and marriage. There is enough similarity in self-expression to produce harmony, but not so much
that competition is likely to be a problem. The tone of relationship will be determined a great
deal by the element (Earth, Fire, Air, or Water) in which to Sun is found.
 
Sun trine Moon
This is one of the finest comparative combinations for a successful romantic relationship or
marriage. This is especially true when it is the man's Sun and woman's Moon, but the aspect is
very positive and harmonious in either direction. This trine produces a receptivity to the energy
and creative self-expression of the Sun. The Sun person tends to initiate action and take the
leadership role in the relationship (explaining why, in a traditional sense, it is preferable to have
a "his" Sun and "her" Moon). The interaction between partners has a pleasant flow. The nature of
the relationship tends to take on the flavor of the element (earth, fire, air or water) within which
these bodies reside.
 
Sun trine Mercury
This is such a good aspect because few problems are insurmountable if there is good
communication. This comparative combination is very helpful in any relationship because it
denotes excellent communication between the two of you. You stimulate each other
intellectually and share many cultural or educational interests. You are able to discuss problems
and work them out.
 
Sun trine Venus
This is an excellent comparative combination for romantic and sexual attraction and marriage.
You enjoy each other's company and have fun together. There is good emotional rapport and
mutual sensitivity and generosity. You encourage each other socially and culturally.
 
Sun trine Mars
This is a very active comparative combination showing mutual support and efforts toward
mutual self-improvement and development. You are both ambitious and interested in improving
your lives. There may be a strong sense of friendly competition in the relationship. The
combination adds sexual attraction in a romantic relationship.
 
Sun trine Jupiter
This aspect endows the relationship with a very harmonious and mutually helpful color. Jupiter
is very generous, benevolent, and optimistic toward the Sun, while the Sun provides much
vitality, and encourages the Jupiter individual. In a romantic situation, this aspect produces
cultural and spiritual values that give durability and lasting quality. You are apt to make
excellent traveling companions.
 
Sun trine Saturn
A favorable Sun/Saturn aspect is desirable because it gives such a tone of stability to the
relationship. This comparative combination balances, disciplines and organizes the relationship.
Taken alone it does not indicate a romantic relationship, but in such a relationship or in a
marriage, this aspect increases the stability and the durability. There is a mutual appreciation of
responsibility and a willingness to work out difficulties.
 
Sun trine Uranus
This aspect makes for a very exciting friendship or romance. You have a strong magnetic
attraction for each other. This combination often shows mutual interests in unusual, esoteric,
scientific or common organizational activities. Although the aspects of Uranus in romantic terms
are neutral, the magnetic appeal of the placement can produce a sexual attraction. There is a
definite friendship attachment usually based on a mutual respect for one another's need for
freedom and independence.
 
Sun trine Ascendant
This aspect suggests that you are able to direct your wills effectively in working together. This
aspect is effective in working toward mutual goals and enhancing one another's self-image. This
is an indicator of romantic and sexual attraction, and it's also favorable for harmony in a
marriage relationship.
 
Sun opposed Sun
This comparative combination is not unusual in marriages. Opposites do attract and this
opposition is basically a relationship aspect. You balance each other and complement each
other's deficiencies. There is a strong attraction and you are important to each other. However,
there can also be a clash of wills and egos, and you must respect the other's personal autonomy if
you are to get along. Any attempt for either to be the boss will meet with opposition.
Nonetheless, this is a good aspect for sexual and romantic connection.
 
Sun opposed Moon
This is a comparative aspect found in many marital relationships. In this relationship, the Sun
person is the more dynamic, and the Moon person is the more receptive influence. Thus, there is
something of a unbalance of power here. The Sun person tends to dominate. This aspect perhaps
worked better at an earlier time in traditional male dominate marriages, when the male was the
solar partner.
 
Sun opposed Mercury
This comparative combination promises a good deal of communication between the two of you,
but there is likely to be widely varying viewpoints and opinions. You are probably able to arrive
at a balanced judgment.
 
Sun opposed Venus
This aspect is frequently found in romantic attractions and marriages. It is usually indicative of a
relatively harmonious relationship based on a deep friendship and a fondness for each other's
company. There can be mutual enjoyment of and participation in social activities, parties,
concerts, or the theater. The negative side of the opposition can produce problems relating to the
Sun person's ego and power drive and/or the Venus person's sensitivities or self-indulgence.
 
Sun opposed Mars
Contacts between the Sun and Mars are frequently found in marriages because it is one of strong
physical attraction and the blend is productive of much "heat." The desire nature is definitely
stimulated. This comparative combination produces a conflict of will and ego, which can result
in power struggles and fights for supremacy in the relationship. This is not a good romantic
indicator because ego and willfulness will be continuously at odds. The key to successfully
working with this aspect is psychological maturity. Because it is impossible to eliminate the
competition for dominance imposed here, it is necessary for both to respect the other's free will.
 
Sun opposed Jupiter
Although you may get along well and are very generous with each other, you tend to encourage
each other into excesses or overindulging in one way or another. You may have widely differing
view on religion and philosophy.
 
Sun opposed Saturn
This is a very difficult aspect as it tends to generate mutual jealousy and clashes of personal
authority. The Saturn individual is apt to squelch the Sun individual's enthusiasm and self-
expression. To live with this mutual aspect, you must both respect each other's autonomy and
neither should expect to have the upper hand. The handling of serious mutual responsibilities
will be a major issue. This is not considered a favorable aspect for romantic relations.
 
Sun opposed Uranus
This comparative combination often produces a serious clash of wills. Uranus wants freedom and
independence and the Sun tends to be authoritarian. If you want to get along, there must be a
strict appreciation of space and an unconditional acceptance of independent ways.
 
Moon conjunct Moon
This placement denotes an emotional empathy in your relationship. You tend to go through
moods simultaneously. Your mutual understanding is good, but you may tend to bring out
emotional excesses in one another. Attitudes and values in home and domestic affairs are similar.
 
Moon conjunct Mercury
This aspect provides a good avenue for communication, although in some cases people that share
this aspect talk so incessantly about trivial and inconsequential matters to the point of boring or
annoying each other. Normally the ability to communicate is a positive circumstance, but of
itself, this position doesn't indicate sexual or romantic attraction.
 
Moon conjunct Venus
This is a very strong sexual and emotional link and one of the best comparative aspects for
romance. There is an exchange of domestic and emotional stability, with love and emotional
understanding. There is a sensitive harmony with each other's moods and subconscious
emotional responses. This aspect shows the ability to share in very feeling ways. This is an
excellent aspect for marriage, family relationships, and for any persons who are working together
in a close relationship. It is both harmonious and understanding.
 
Moon conjunct Mars
This is a difficult comparative aspect because the aggressiveness of Mars upsets and irritates the
Moon, the Moon person's moodiness and sensitivity makes the Mars person impatient. In two
really strong charts this aspect can produce constructive action in business, family and domestic
affairs. It may produce a good deal of sexual attraction, but with no guarantee of compatibility.
Mars is too apt to try to change the partner. This connection works best in circumstances when
the Mars person is the Male and the Moon person is the female. However, in all cases this is a
difficult combination for marriage, family relationships, or for people who live together, since it
is likely to produce domestic disagreements.
 
Moon conjunct Jupiter
This aspect puts a good deal of harmony in your relationship. You share feelings of trust and
mutual confidence. You tend to have compatible religious, social and ethical values, and you
encourage each other. This placement of itself doesn't indicate romance, but it will increase the
quality of a romantic relationship and it also will increase the durability and stability of a marital
relationship.
 
Moon conjunct Saturn
This is a very difficult comparative combination for most relationships. Saturn sometimes is
emotionally depressing and periodically has a wet-blanket effect on the Moon. In a serious
relationship together, the Moon person tends to be too moody, and the Saturn person is
insensitive. In a marital or romantic relationship, this combination is likely to produce coldness
and estrangement. A relationship may be based on the need for security rather than any genuine
sympathetic understanding between the two of you.
 
Moon conjunct Uranus
This aspect produces a relationship that is unusual and exciting, but not always stable. Much
depends on the rest of the comparison. Unless other aspects, such as good Saturn aspects,
balance this comparative conjunction, the relationship is likely to be unstable, and mutual
feelings are subject to sudden and unpredictable changes. In romantic relationships, you may be
inclined to live together without being married, as in new age communal living arrangements. In
this pairing, the Uranus person provides the excitement and stimulation, and the Moon person
offers a base of operation or home.
 
Moon sextile Moon
This aspect aids communication and emotional empathy. In family and domestic relationships,
this combination show compatibility derived from habit patterns established in the childhood
family.
 
Moon sextile Mercury
This aspect produces good emotional empathy and communication. This is a favorable aspect for
all sorts of domestic relationships because there is the ability to communicate feelings and
emotions.
 
Moon sextile Venus
This is an aspect for romantic attraction and for marriage because it shows a sense of sympathy
for each other. There is mutual consideration and you are likely to share social, musical, artistic
and other activities and appreciations together. Common friends are usually found in
relationships featuring this aspect. Emotional understanding may border on the intuitive. The
aspect bestows a good deal of harmony in an emotional sense.
 
Moon sextile Mars
This is a good aspect for dynamic cooperation in action. Mars has a "get moving" impact on the
Moon, while the Moon helps calm Mars down. This aspect may contribute to sexual attraction in
romantic relationships.
 
Moon sextile Jupiter
This comparative combination produces generosity and good will in your relationship. This
aspect is better in business relationships as it provides a basis of understanding and trust. These
elements are, of course, helpful in any relationship.
 
Moon sextile Saturn
This comparative combination is more helpful in business and professional relationships. You
have a good sense of responsibility toward one another. The Saturn person may act as sort of a
father figure. Not an indicator of romantic involvement of itself, this aspect works best in
situations requiring thrift, resourcefulness, discipline and responsibility. It does suggest a sense
of loyalty, respect, and durability marks the relationship.
 
Moon sextile Uranus
This comparative combination produces an interesting, exciting, unusual friendship. The two of
you may have met under unusual circumstances. This relationship is likely to remain lively and
interesting. You have an intuitive sense about each other's moods and feelings.
 
Moon sextile Ascendant
You find it easy to adjust to his self-expression and and basic outlook on life. There is close
emotional harmony in this relationship and a good chance for the sort of domestic and family
compatibility that helps marriage work well.
 
Moon square Moon
This comparative combination makes it very hard for you to understand each other's moods and
emotional responses. You may be from very different family and cultural backgrounds. Your
moods are sort of out of phase, making it hard for you to do the same things at the same time. It's
hard to see eye to eye on family, domestic, dietary, and financial affairs. If the Moons are in
cardinal signs, you may act impulsively without consulting one another. If the Moons are in
fixed signs, you may disagree over stubbornly held emotional attitudes and patterns. If the
Moons are in mutable signs, you may feel nervous and irritable in each other's presence and will
bring out unpleasant memories.
 
Moon square Mercury
This aspect produces difficulty in communication and with general understanding one another
regarding everyday practical domestic affairs and family matters. There may be disagreement
over diet, personal hygiene, neatness and order in the home, and the handling of personal affairs.
Mercury tends to operate on a more intellectual and rational level, while the Moon responds on
an instinctual and emotional level. Mercury is likely to view the other as over-emotional and
unreliable, while the Moon person sees the other as overly critical and insensitive. A good deal
of time may be spend discussing these differences with little resolve.
 
Moon square Venus
This is an adverse aspect for romantic relationship because it denotes great difficulty in
understanding each others moods and feelings. In some cases, the attraction may be emotional or
sexual, without real understanding or overall mental and spiritual compatibility. There is a an
attraction here, but marriages may be contracted for reasons of financial or domestic security, or
as a result of family pressure, rather than because of real affinity.
 
Moon square Mars
This is one of the most difficult and emotionally explosive of all comparative aspects. The Mars
person is likely to be impatient with the Moon person. Conversely, the Moon may view Mars as
rude, insensitive and overbearing. This combination is likely to produce emotional clashes and
arguments. It is unfavorable for marriage and living together, although the physical attraction of
the aspect does frequently result in the development of relationships.
 
Moon square Jupiter
This comparative combination indicates the possibility of an insincere or somewhat hypocritical
relationship. There may be a pandering to each other's weaknesses and self-indulgent tendencies.
As parents, you may be inclined to be overly protective to children or to each other. You may
join in unwise financial endeavors or be extravagant in expenditures together.
 
Moon square Saturn
This is a difficult and emotionally restrictive comparative combination. The restriction may be a
financial one or it may be more of an emotional nature. Career and status ambitions, and
resulting responsibilities cause conflict with family and domestic concerns. Saturn may be so
wrapped up in career activities as to have no time to devote to the emotional needs of home and
family.
 
Moon square Uranus
This comparative combination is known for its sudden and very temporary attractions and
infatuations. Long term, this is not a relationship aspect that works out. You tend to make each
other nervous and irritable, and you're prone to disagreements. Emotional upsets and immature
behavior often mark relationships showing this aspect.
 
Moon square Ascendant/Descendant
Family upbringing and emotional habit patterns conflict with self-expression, self-image, and the
concept of cooperation in the relationship. This aspect cause emotional upsets and disagreements
about how to conduct family business and domestic affairs.
 
Moon trine Moon
This connection provides good emotional rapport and harmony. This is a great aspect for people
in the same family or living in the same household. There is mutual understanding of one another
without losing yourselves in the process. Companionship, cooperation, and a spirit of helpfulness
make this an excellent combination for an enduring partnership or marriage.
 
Moon trine Mercury
This aspect is good for communication about everyday practical affairs, especially those relating
to business, work and domestic matters. There is an ability to communicate emotional matters.
This is not an indicator of sexual attraction, but it does tend to improve romantic affairs.
 
Moon trine Venus
This is one of the best combinations for a romantic attraction. You really enjoy each other's
company. You are sexually attracted, and have a sympathetic, emotional harmony with each
other. You enjoy an attitude of mutual consideration and kindness.
 
Moon trine Mars
This is a favorable aspect enhancing cooperation in business, professional and domestic
endeavors. The aspect denotes mutual involvement and getting along in any project that is at
hand. The combination also contributes to sexual attraction, working in this regard best when it
is "her" Moon and "his" Mars.
 
Moon trine Jupiter
This is one of the best comparative aspects for mutual kindness, generosity, and helpfulness in
all relationships. It is especially helpful for harmony in family and domestic relationships. Often
there is a sharing of religious, social, and ethical values with respect to home and family affairs.
In some cases, there may be psychic or intuitive link between the natives. You have cultural
interests in common. This combination does not, of itself, indicate romantic or sexual attractions,
but it does increase the durability and stability of such a relationship by providing shared
cultural, educational, moral, and religious values and interests.
 
Moon trine Saturn
This comparative combination is helpful for cooperation in serious responsibilities, business
matters, and domestic affairs. It is not an indicator of romantic attractions, but it certainly
improves the durability of a relationship by conferring a practical, responsible approach to
everyday issues and problems. You may tend to rely on each other for security or stability.
Saturn tends to be the restraining or disciplining influence in the relationship.
 
Moon trine Uranus
This comparative aspect often indicates sexual attraction. Uranus supplies a great deal of interest
and exciting in the relationship. Together you can have a large circle of friends, and you may use
your home as a meeting place for social gatherings, organizations and unusual activities. You
encourage each other to be more individualistic and creative and allow freedom of emotional
expression.
 
Moon trine Ascendant/sextile Descendant
This aspect shows easy adjustment to the partner's self-expression and and basic outlook on life.
There is close emotional harmony in this relationship, and a good chance for the sort of domestic
and family compatibility that makes marriage work well.
 
Moon opposed Moon
When the Moon in comparative charts are in opposition there is a tendency to mirror and
polarize one another's emotional moods, thus triggering strong emotional response in each other.
Difficulties can arise in this situation if your respective moods are out of harmony because you
will both be in a bad mood at the same time. You must work especially hard to understand each
other's moods and feeling. There is also likely to be a near mirror image between your
backgrounds and family upbringing.
 
Moon opposed Mercury
This aspect often presents communication problems. Mercury reacts on a rational level while the
Moon is tuned in on a more emotional level. Consequently, you find it difficult to understand
each other. The Mercury person may seem nagging, over-critical or nit-picking to the Moon
person. This combination often shows disagreements over diet, everyday practical affairs,
financial expenditures, and domestic and family issues.
 
Moon opposed Venus
This comparative combination indicates strong romantic and sexual attraction, but in a situation
that involves very delicate and difficult emotional communication. Feelings are easily hurt, one
or both may feel misunderstood or "used" for sexual gratification. In maturity the problems of
this opposition are often worked out, and the combination is frequently found in marriage as the
attraction is very strong indeed. The negative aspect of this opposition can either be a too casual
attitude regarding emotional matters, or, at times, a tendency to lead each other to excesses; too
much party-going, overeating, financial extravagance, sexual excesses, or some such.
 
Moon opposed Mars
Usually this combination produces emotional conflict. The Mars person is viewed as aggressive,
domineering and insensitive, while this person is likely to look upon the Moon person as too
moody and overly emotional. This comparative aspect is not favorable of compatibility in
marriage and romance, although it can produce sexual attraction. In marital or romantic
relationships, one partner may feel that he or she is being exploited for sexual or financial
reasons. The aspect can cause angry scenes and emotional conflict. Arguments of joint finances.
You must work consciously at exercising patience, gentleness, and consideration for each other.
 
Moon opposed Jupiter
This comparative combination generally produces genial relationships and a positive attitude
toward family affairs. There may be an encouraging of self-indulgent traits or mutual actions that
show a lack of wisdom and discrimination. Excessive eating or drinking can be a problem.
 
Moon opposed Saturn
This is a difficult comparative combination for all kinds of relationships. Often relationships are
based on financial reasons or security rather than any degree of affinity, although it certainly
does not preclude the latter. This marks a situation in which there may be significant difference
in age, maturity, or spiritual development in the partners. The relationship may make one or the
other feel pessimistic and fearful. This is a real wet-blanket aspect.
 
Moon opposed Uranus
This combination makes for unusual, interesting, exciting relationships, but not necessarily
lasting ones. In romantic or sexual attractions, the individuals may live together without
marrying. Uranus is noted for drastic changes and demands independence above all else. There is
much instability related to this aspect. If married, this combination denote frequent changes of
residence.
 
Mercury conjunct Mercury
This indicates a very similar mental viewpoint and an ease in communication between the two of

Mercury conjunct Venus
This aspect indicates that you can easily communicate personal emotional issues. You share
interest in literary, artistic, musical and cultural affairs. You are able to make study and
intellectual endeavors more enjoyable for each other. This aspect provides a good basis for
lasting compatibility, as well as the mutual enjoyment of friends and social activities.
 
Mercury conjunct Mars
The effect of this conjunction depends on the quality of other aspects in the chart. If Mars and
Mercury are well placed, this aspect can lead to mutual mental stimulation and constructive
action. If they are badly aspected, this comparative combination will tend to cause heated
arguments. The Mars person will be overbearing, bossy and brash, while the Mercury person
tends to become overly critical and nit-picking if aspects are adverse.
 
Mercury conjunct Jupiter
This aspects suggests the sharing of educational, cultural, philosophical, and religious interests.
Jupiter can raise Mercury's social and educational level, and help with the development of a more
positive and optimistic outlook in this relationship. This is a good teacher/student or parent/child
type comparative combination.
 
Mercury conjunct Saturn
In this aspect the attitude of responsibility and mutual objective is stressed. There is a serious
tone to communication. The Saturn person may be viewed as something of a wet blanket. With
difficult aspects, it can be hard to communicate at all. In a romantic relationship, this aspect does
give a strong sense of responsibility.
 
Mercury conjunct Uranus
This aspect produces many exciting mutual mental interests. Original ideas and experiences are
exciting and generally the relationship is more open-minded and unbiased. Intellectual interests
are shared. A sort of mental telepathy may exist between you.

compatible. You have generally common interests and a good understanding of one another's
mental attitudes. Communication is free and unrestrained.

through common interests in religious and philosophical organizations. You make very good
traveling companions. You are honest, considerate, and straightforward with each other, and this
combination usually brings out a sense of humor to share.
 
Mercury Sextile Saturn

with teacher/student, business, and other professional relationships. He is apt to be the more
serious thinker and help you achieve constructive mental discipline, experience and exactness in
work. You are apt to supply the new ideas and creativity. In a marital relationship, this aspect
aids acceptance of mutual responsibility and sensible communication about serious issues.
 
Mercury Sextile Uranus
This is a good aspect sparking a very interesting and creative friendship. You seem to be able to
help each other come up with original ideas that make sense. This is a good combination for
individuals involved in writing, the communication media, advertising, and scientific work of all
kinds. Your minds seem to click well together.
 
Mercury square Mercury
This aspect indicates difficulty in communication and a differing intellectual viewpoint. You
may disagree on things related dress, work, health, diet, and many other issues. Mental
cooperation can be a problem.
 
Mercury square Venus
This comparative combination may make it hard to communicate emotional issues, especially in
romantic and marital relationships. The problem is likely that the Venus person is too uncritical,
failing to challenge logical inconsistencies in your thinking; an over-indulging attitude. There is
a blockage of real understanding and sensitivity to each other's feelings.
 
Mercury square Mars
This is a difficult comparative combination because it shows you are inclined to arguments and
heated disagreements. In this relationship, arguments with viewpoints always seem to threaten
egos. It's hard for you to communication with each other in a calm, rational way and find
solutions to your problems. This is a hard one to work with because even when you do control it,
you may both feel nervous and ill at ease with each other.
 
Mercury square Jupiter
All Mercury/Jupiter relationships have the tendency toward Parent/child or Teacher/student
match ups, with Jupiter always having the upper hand. The square aspect shows a degree of
conflict in this regard and a general difference in opinion. Discussions usually go in circles and it
is hard to arrive at conclusions.
 
Mercury square Saturn
There is a tendency for the Saturn person to seem too conservative, opinionated, or negative. At
times, and to react negatively and impose heavy demands on Mercury in terms of mental
discipline and work. This is a difficult aspect for all types or relationships. Often, jealousy and
resentment are involved. You have a hard time understanding each other.
 
Mercury square Uranus
This aspect suggests rather major differences in viewpoint and opinion. You may have difficult
agreeing on plans and activities. There is a good deal of impatience between you and in many
ways you may grow to get on one another's nerves. In your communication, you tend to take too
much for granted. The Uranus person may seem much too unstable.
 
Mercury Trine Mercury
With Mercury in each chart trine Mercury in the other, there is little doubt you are mentally
compatible. You have generally common interests and a good understanding of one another's
mental attitudes. Communication is free and unrestrained.
 
Mercury trine Venus
This comparative combination indicates compatible ideas in the area of social activities and
cultural pursuits. There is mutual understanding and a gentleness in communication. You are apt
to enjoy mutual friends. In romantic and marital relationships, you are able to communicate
feelings and emotional reactions, thus resolving most difficulties that occur. You make excellent
traveling companions.
 
Mercury trine Mars
This is an aspect of mental compatibility. You work well together putting ideas into action. You
enjoy games of mental challenge and competition. You have a mutual interest in politics and a
fondness for debate. You stimulate each other's enthusiasm and resourcefulness.
 
Mercury Trine Jupiter
This comparative aspect indicates you share many intellectual and philosophical interests. By
itself, it does not produce romantic or sexual attractions, but in a romantic or marital relationship,
it can improve communication and durability of the relationship. It tends to foster optimism and
a constructive mental outlook in each other by encouraging each other to positive thinking.
 
Mercury Trine Saturn
This is a good aspect for producing clear, precise, disciplined thinking. It is therefore associated
with teacher/student, business, and other professional relationships. Saturn is apt to be the more
serious thinker and help Mercury achieve constructive mental discipline, experience and
exactness in work. Mercury tends to supply the new ideas and creativity. In a marital
relationship, this aspect aids acceptance of mutual responsibility and sensible communication
about serious issues.
 
Mercury Trine Uranus
This is a good aspect sparking a very interesting and creative friendship. You seem to be able to
help each other come up with original ideas that make sense. This is a good combination for
individuals involved in writing, the communication media, advertising, and scientific work of all
kinds. Your minds seem to click well together.
 
Mercury opposed Mercury
This opposition indicates relationship problems arising from differences in intellectual
viewpoints and difficulties in communication. You are apt to disagree in matters of dress,
personal hygiene, diet, or work habits. There is a great deal of difference in mental outlook.
 
Mercury opposed Venus
This combination poses a challenge in understanding. Mercury fails to understand Venus'
feelings, and Venus must make a special effort to understand Mercury's thoughts and ideas.
Mercury may see Venus as somewhat lazy and over-sensitive, and may resent the money spent
on unnecessary luxuries. There are likely to be many instances of differing opinions regarding
art, music, social activities and friends which will need adjustment and compromise.
 
Mercury opposed Mars
This comparative combination suggests a tendency to lose patience with each other and get into
arguments. Mercury sees Mars as too impulsive and aggressive, while Mars views Mercury as all
talk and no action. If you are to get along, you must work hard at exercising patience and
consideration in speech and communication.
 
Mercury opposed Jupiter
This aspect often produces many lengthy philosophical conversations that seem to go nowhere
and prove nothing. Mercury sees Jupiter as being too big-picture oriented, broad and very
general in thinking. Jupiter finds Mercury too hung up on detail. There is quite a bit of differing
opinion here regarding many of the weightier subjects in life. In the long run, the two of your
may have a good deal to teach one another.
 
Mercury opposed Saturn
This aspect causes you to be suspicious of one another. Saturn is likely to be negative toward
Mercury's ideas and suggestions. The Saturn person may also see the other as superficial and
unreliable. If Saturn has an opportunity, mental restrictions a rather pessimistic attitude may be
imposed on the Mercury person.
 
Mercury opposed Uranus
You stimulate each other mentally in many exciting and perhaps unusual ways. Your relationship
may be a little undisciplined at times, but it won't lack for interest. Mutual interests in science,
occult subjects, group activities, or social reforms may connect in this relationship.
 
Venus conjunct Venus
This comparative combination often produces romantic attractions. You are emotionally
sympathetic and understanding of each other. You have similar tastes in art, music, and social
conduct.
 
Venus conjunct Mars
This is about the strongest of all indicators of sexual attraction. It removes any question in this
regard. Whether or not this leads to more sensitive, romantic feelings or to marriage, depends on
the rest of natal Horoscopes and how they compare. If Venus and Mars are badly aspected in
either chart, sexual jealousy and possessiveness can be a problem. In any event, there is likely to
be much passion and excitement in this relationship.
 
Venus conjunct Jupiter
This aspects helps in smoothing what may otherwise be difficult associations. You have a strong
mutual appreciation of religious, educational, aesthetic, and social values. This aspect favors
lasting compatibility in marriage and romantic relationships. It is optimistic and cheerful. You
bring each other social popularity and financial prosperity.
 
Venus conjunct Saturn
This aspect indicates a mutual concern for professional or financial affairs. Accordingly, it seems
to work best in business and professional relationships. When this aspect does occur in marriages
and romantic relationships it favors durability of the match, although there may be a significant
age difference and/or a financial or security motivation in the relationship. The Venus person
will tend to demonstrate much affection in the relationship, and the Saturn person will be much
less able to respond in kind.
 
Venus conjunct Uranus
This comparative combination has a way of creating sudden and exciting romantic attractions;
few aspects are stronger in the sexual attraction department. There is a definite romantic
fascination for each other, and if other signs in the chart are right it may last, but often it won't.
At any rate, there is a lot of excitement and adventure in this combination.
 
Venus sextile Venus
This comparative combination is a very favorable one for social compatibility. You enjoy social
activities together and have many common friends. You share similar aesthetic and social values
and can easily become romantically involved.
 
Venus sextile Mars
This aspects suggests opportunity for sexual and romantic involvement. Often, this aspect
denotes meeting through friends or group activities. The Venus individual in this relationship is
very helpful to the other in the area making actions more harmonious and socially acceptable,
and in gaining financially and professionally. Mars, on the other hand, helps Venus overcome
inertia and become productive.
 
Venus sextile Jupiter
This aspect shows a sharing of cultural, religious and other higher values. You may be inclined
to work together as an effective team in charitable, religious, or organizational endeavors. In
marriage or romantic relationships, the sharing of religious, cultural, and educational values
provides a basis of lasting compatibility that goes beyond emotional, sexual attraction.
 
Venus sextile Saturn
This aspect will provide cooperation especially in business and professional matters and in those
areas where diplomatic skills are required. In marriage or romantic relationships, this
comparative combination increases the mutual sense of responsibility, loyalty, and steadfastness.
It does not, of itself, indicate romantic attraction, but it does give stability when other factors in
the horoscope indicate romantic attraction.
 
Venus sextile Uranus
This aspect often produces an interesting and unusual friendship. It favors the mutual
appreciation of art, music, science or other subjects and often produces romantic attractions. You
were likely to meet through friends or group activities. In romantic or marital relationships there
is a strong sexual, as well as a strong intellectual attraction.
 
Venus square Venus
This comparative combination suggests a degree of incompatibility where social manners,
artistic tastes, and emotional needs are concerned. You are also apt to encourage each other in
self-indulgent habits and unwise expenditures. You may both be overly sentimental, and/or
lacking in sincerity.
 
Venus square Mars
This combination produces a very strong sexual attraction; however, there is often a lack of real
emotional compatibility and mutual consideration. The relationship can be entered into by one or
both parties merely for sexual gratification, without real concern for the other party as a person.
In a romantic or marital relationship, sexual jealousy and possessiveness can be a problem. This
is a difficult aspect for close personal relationships, but it is often present in them because of the
high degree of sexual compatibility it generates at the outset of the relationship.
 
Venus square Jupiter
This aspect is not very harmonious and shows a departure in attitudes on the weightier issues in
life. There may be a serious departure in views regarding religion, education, or merely habits
and taste. In this relationship the Jupiter individual is apt to think the other too self-indulgent.
Venus may view Jupiter as too serious, and overly concerned with religion, philosophy, or
culture.
 
Venus square Saturn
This comparative combination is one that is very difficult in a relationship. In most cases, these
two won't be voluntarily attracted to each other. The relationship is one that probably should be
avoided, for this is not a good aspect for marriage or romance. When these do occur, there is
usually a financial, ulterior, or status motive involved, either from the individuals or their
families. The Saturn person tends to have a lack of consideration and may find it difficult to
express affection. Saturn is apt to discourage Venus from any excessive show of affection. The
Saturn person is apt to considerably older and less tolerant than the Venus person.
 
Venus square Uranus
This comparative combination leads to sudden, exciting, but unstable and short-lived romantic
infatuations. It is often found in unlikely or unsuitable romantic attachments. Usually the
lifestyle of the parties will be so different that lasting compatibility is not likely.
 
Venus trine Venus
This aspect is very good for romantic, marital, and business relationships. You simply enjoy each
other's company and like the same kind of cultural activities and entertainment. You are good for
each other because there is a mutual calming, emotionally soothing effect on one another. There
is definite rapport between you regarding feelings, moods and social attitudes.
 
Venus trine Mars
This is one of the best comparative aspect for sexual compatibility. There is likely to be a strong
romantic attraction here, as well as a connection conducive to emotional and social
compatibility. This is an excellent combination for romantic relationships and for marriage
because of the high degree of both social and sexual compatibility.
 
Venus trine Jupiter
This aspect denotes mutual interests in social and cultural art forms, and religious, educational,
and philosophical pursuits. You will stimulate each other's interest and participation in religious
and charitable activities, especially when these are combined with social functions. This aspect
forecasts the sharing of a good deal of generosity with one another. You are both intuitively
considerate of the other. This is an excellent comparative combination for harmony in romantic
and marital relationships because of its long-range implications predicting shared cultural,
religious, and philosophical values.
 
Venus trine Saturn
This combination produces a strong sense of personal friendship and loyalty. By itself, this
aspect does not indicate sexual or romantic attraction. It can, and usually does however, increase
the stability and durability of a relationship when romantic attraction is indicated by other factors
in the comparison. You have a sense of mutual respect and just dealing with one another and you
can count on each other's constant support. Thus, it is considered an ideal aspect for marriage, as
well as friendship.
 
Venus trine Uranus
This comparative combination indicates strong, dramatic romantic and sexual attraction. You
stimulate each other's sense of romance and excitement. There is often a mutual interest in the
same things, often offbeat or unusual things.
 
Venus opposed Venus
In this comparative combination, you tend to mirror each other's moods and feelings. Often, you
are romantically attracted, but there is a delicate mutual emotional balance to be maintained. The
mirror image of emotional issues can produce very high highs, and very low lows. Thus, while
there is much common ground in taste and social interest, the relationship may have some real
peaks and valleys.
 
Venus opposed Mars
This comparative combination indicates intense sexual, romantic attractions. It is, however,
completely dependent on harmonizing factors elsewhere in charts for any degree of stability or
enduring qualities. This opposition shows problems with jealousy and possessiveness, and a lack
of diplomacy in the relationship. Mars, in this placement, tends to be overly aggressive and
inconsiderate, and Venus here is often supersensitive and easily hurt. Both parties are apt to feel
that they are being used, and resentment and conflict often results. Nonetheless, this is a very
exciting and sexually stimulating placement.
 
Venus opposed Jupiter
This aspect produces a congenial social relationship, but sometimes it gives a sort of polite
glibness. One of you may pretend friendliness and affection to avoid unpleasantness or to gain
social, financial, or cultural advancement and status. When the relation is sincere, you may share
many common interest in philosophical, religious, or educational interest or activities.
 
Venus opposed Saturn
When stimulated, this aspect suggests a cold, emotionally distant relationship. You are not
voluntarily attracted to each other, although circumstances may force you into association. In
some cases, the association is based on ulterior motives such as gaining money and status, rather
than on genuine friendship and affection.
 
Venus opposed Uranus
As a rule, this comparative combination indicates strong, sudden romantic and sexual
infatuations which are not stable or lasting unless there are other indicators in the comparison of
stability.
 
Mars conjunct Mars
You are apt to react to each other aggressively and impulsively. Often this aspect indicates a
common interest in physical activities such as sports or outdoor work. It can increase mutual
support for constructive action, sports and/or self-improvement. In most cases, this suggests the
possibility of a strong sexual attraction.
 
Mars conjunct Jupiter
This comparative combination indicates dynamic, enthusiastic cooperation in business,
professional, religious, educational, political or social enterprises. You are likely to mutually
enjoy sports, exploration, and outdoor activities. This is favorable for people that work together
in political campaigns or business promotions, for family relationships, and for constructive
action in the home.
 
Mars conjunct Saturn
Saturn tends to restrain Mars in this pairing, endeavoring to channel Mars into disciplined,
purposeful work, especially along career and status lines. The Mars effect on Saturn is to help
overcome unnecessary fear and inertia. Although these are two rather difficult planets to have in
conjunction, in mature individuals they can work together to assist each individual, though there
is likely to be somewhat opposing forces involved in the involvement of the pairing. This is not
very favorable for marital relations because it can produce mutual conflict, jealousy, and
resentment, and sometimes law suits. In marriages, the aspect usually denotes an obligation or a
tone of responsibility associated with the match.
 
Mars conjunct Uranus
This comparative combination indicates dynamic, interesting, but potentially explosive
relationships. A good deal of sexual attraction is apparent here. You are apt to encourage each
other's more impulsive urges and rash behavior. The Mars individual is fascinated by the
eccentric and unpredictable Uranus. Any attempt to boss each other around simply won't work
with this combination, as you both are strongly independent and you will not yield to each other.
 
Mars sextile Mars
This is favorable for intelligent, mutual cooperation in action. You enjoy working together,
especially in physical work and sporting activities. There may be a spirit of friendly competition
between you.
 
Mars sextile Jupiter
This is favorable for intelligent action in religious, educational, social, and charitable group
activities. It helps family relationships. You may become adventurous traveling companions or
missionaries.
 
Mars sextile Saturn
This aspect usually denotes a mutual constructive effort and discipline in professional, financial,
or administrative affairs. The Saturn person helps the Mars person be more disciplined in actions.
This aspect helps you work well together. It is not a favorable indicator of romantic implications
in the relationship, however, if romance is otherwise shown in the comparison, this is one of
those aspects that provide discipline, durability and stability.
 
Mars sextile Uranus
This is a good work together aspect, especially for people whose job it is to come up with new
and different ideas and to implement action to make ideas become reality. You may seem to
boost each other's energy and determination to accomplish what you set out to do.
 
Mars square Mars
This comparative combination shows important differences in approaches to personal action,
professional ambition, and business affairs. Any attempts for one or the other of you to be in
charge and order the other around, will meet with resistance and conflict. Outbursts of temper,
and in extreme cases, physical combat can occur with this combination. Despite the abusive
nature of this aspect, romantic relationships do often occur. Viewing from this aspect alone,
these are essentially based on sexual gratification rather than on genuine love, and the
relationship should have other positive traits to confirm its value.
 
Mars square Jupiter
This is not good for your relationship because it shows that you will encourage each other to get
involved in rash, impulsive, and costly acts. Together you can be foolish and unrealistic. There is
a sharp variance in your views on religion, philosophy, ethics, politics, and education. This is a
difficult aspect for domestic relations because you may have a hard time living with his
standards and habits.
 
Mars square Saturn
This is a difficult aspect for any kind of personal relationship. Saturn has a restraining influence
on Mars in this combination. There is apt to be conflict regarding joint financial affairs and
behavior in general.
 
Mars square Uranus
This comparative combination makes for a volatile and unstable relationship. You tend to
encourage each other toward ill-considered, impulsive acts. Mutual endeavors never seem to go
as planned. In general, you are somewhat of a threat to each other's authority and independence.
Explosive outbursts of temper may characterize this combination.
 
Mars trine Mars
This comparative trine is favorable for mutual actions and accomplishments in a variety of areas.
You tend to spur each other's drive and initiative without ego confrontations. Often
encouragement is extended toward efforts of self-improvement through physical exercise,
professional initiative, or business enterprise. This aspect also tends to generate sexual attraction.
 
Mars trine Jupiter
This aspect denotes enjoyment in sharing outdoor activities, sports, and travel. It is a good
combination for constructive, practical cooperation in family and domestic affairs. You are apt to
encourage each other's efforts at physical, spiritual, or personal self-improvement. Jupiter tends
to channel the energies of Mars into more constructive activity, while Mars has the effect of
putting educational, philosophical, or religious goals into action.
 
Mars trine Saturn
This comparative combination is helpful in marital relations as it provides the mutual discipline
to get through troubled times. Thus, it provides durability in the relationship.
 
Mars trine Uranus
This comparative combination denotes a mutual love of adventure and excitement. This is a
stimulating association, especially for advanced thinking and breaking away from the dull and
routine. You are exciting traveling companions and you won't get bored with each other. There is
a significant degree of sexual attraction associated with this aspect.
 
Mars opposed Mars
The opposition of Mars in your charts suggests that the relationship is marked by impulsive
behavior. There is a tendency for both parties to be a bit self-centered and aggressive. There is a
likelihood of frequent quarrels, often from a sense of competition. The handling of business
affairs can produce conflicts. As you both mature, however, there can be effective cooperation in
action related to these affairs.
 
Mars opposed Jupiter
This combination requires patience, restraint, moderation. Mars is rash and aggressive and
Jupiter is optimistic, sometimes over-optimistic. This aspect denotes a conflict in purpose that
would make it very hard for you to work together and it may make it difficult for you to agree on
expenditures in the domestic set.
 
Mars opposed Saturn
This comparative combination denotes a lack of agreement as to how and when to act regarding
personal, professional, or financial affairs. You are out of phase with one another where timing is
concerned. In a marital relationship, one or both of you may attempt to use the other for gaining
money or status without showing real love or concern.
 
Mars opposed Uranus
This is a difficult comparative combination that suggests aggressive and impulsive interaction.
There may be a reluctance to release personal freedoms in order to make a relationship work.
Rebellion and conflict is likely. There is a mutual unwillingness to compromise and cooperate.
This is a divorce-prone combination in a marital relationship.

Compatibility of intimate relationships (synastry) is an extremely complex issue in

astrology. So many factors have to be taken into consideration. and novices to the subject
are almost guaranteed to read the situation very poorly, because it is so complex. I highly
recommend consulting a professional astrologer expertly skilled in these matters if you want
to really understand the dynamics of a relationship, and how to use this knowledge to steer
yourself towards greater love and happiness in all of your relationships.

Until you really know what you are doing with compatibility and astrology, there is a
strong likelihood of taking some influences out of context and misreading the whole picture.
All relationships have relatively positive and negative elements of astrological synastry; it
takes a lot of experience to know how to weigh everything appropriately. And even when
you have learned a lot about the subject, it is still practically impossible (if not completely
impossible) to do an objective synastry analysis of one of your own romantic interests.

So let's start with a basic, beginning overview of astrological synastry (relationship

compatibility). This article will give you a lot, but it still really just scratches the surface. So
I must caution that it is definitely not possible to do a complete compatibility reading with
only the information below. But it is a good start. Those who want to know more might look
into my tape series or into my classes and private tutoring.

Moon, Sun, ASC, Venus, Mars

One can get a good glimpse of one's needs and desires in relationships through the Moon,
Sun, Venus, Mars, and Ascendant. In general, the Sun and Moon primarily indicate true
needs, Venus and Mars primarily indicate desires or attractions, and the Ascendant indicates
some general needs and desires.
Obviously, the best relationship is one where one's needs (Sun and Moon) and desires
(Venus and Mars) are both met. One way to do a general compatibility test between two
people is to look at the relationship between each of these five placements across the two
charts: Sun-Sun, Moon-Moon, Venus-Venus, Mars-Mars, and Asc-Asc. When the placements
are in the same gender (fire and air are masculine, earth and water are feminine) or
element--the same element or a close sextile is best--these placements are basically
compatible. But of course it's much more complicated than that. To begin, here's a short
discussion of the Moon, Sun, Ascendant, Venus, and Mars in terms of compatibility issues,
listed in order of their importance and weight in synastry.

Planets in Synastry
The Moon
The Moon is the most important 'planet' in relationships. The Moon represents deep security
needs, and it is difficult to be with with someone who does not offer us what our Moon
needs. The element of one's Moon sign and house (I recommend using Porphyry House
System) are elements that one's partner must have in a significant way if we are to be
compatible with them, or at least one of these two elements (if there are two). If one's
partner is not strongly made up of the same element of one's Moon sign and/or house, then
strong harmonious aspects between one's Moon and the partner's chart could also create a
harmonious Moon connection.

Positive Moon compatibility will show two people who feel "at home" with one another, and
instinctively care for one another. It's like being family. That's why it's the most important
planet in synastry. If you want to spend the rest of your life sleeping in the same bed as
someone else, you obviously need to feel like family to one another.

In particular, since the Moon is feminine, the Moon shows what a man needs in a woman.
But the Moon definitely shows very vital needs for women, as well.

The Sun
Since the Sun is masculine, the Sun particularly shows what a woman needs from a man.
But also, for men, it shows an element that must be present in their partners for
compatibility to be present. If a man does not have the qualities of the element of a
woman's Sun, it will be difficult for her to ultimately trust and feel respect for him. At the
very least, she must feel the basic energy as a masculine/feminine polarity, i.e. an Earth or
Water Sun sign needs strong feminine energy, and a Fire or Air Sun sign needs strong
masculine energy.

Ascendant
The Ascendant shows our view of ourselves and of life, and how we bring ourselves into the
world. So being with someone who has some major personal placements in harmony with
our Ascendant is also very important. It's fairly important for two people to have their
Ascendants of the same gender (fire and air signs are masculine, water and earth signs are
feminine), and it's great if they are of the same element or a close sextile, but if not, this
can be balanced by having a conjunction or opposition between the Sun, Moon, or Venus of
one person and the Ascendant of the other. It's better if each person 'receives' one of these
conjunctions or oppositions if the Ascendants are in a more conflictual sign relationship
(square, semi-sextile, or quincunx), and especially if the Ascendants are square to one
another.
Venus
Venus shows what a man is attracted to in a woman. Being with a woman who is strong in
his Venus element, or who makes close sextiles to his Venus makes the relationship much
easier, and increases sexual desire and compatibility. For a woman, her Venus is part of her
feminine nature, so it is definitely best when her partner also relates well with this element.
When people have positive Venus synastry, they naturally like and love each other. That, of
course, is what makes positive Venus synastry so great.

Mars
Mars shows what a woman is attracted to in a man. Being with a man who is strong in her
Mars element, or who makes close sextiles with her Mars, makes the relationship much
easier, and increases sexual desire and compatibility. For a man, his Mars is part of his
masculine nature, so it is best when his partner also relates well with this element.

However, too much Mars is really not a good thing for synastry and compatibility, and most
Western astrological literature will not tell you this. Mars is not always the "pretty face"
we've made him to be. Major conjunctions, squares, oppositions, and quincunxes with Mars
are not really desirable for people looking for the most enjoyable relationship possible, but
again, "a part is not the whole," so we still have to look at a lot more. It is certainly possible
to have a rewarding connection with someone, even if you have the sort of Mars synastry
discussed above, but that still doesn't mean that I would particularly recommend it. I
believe that research and direct experience will show you the truth of what I'm saying.
Sure, Mars contacts are great for sex, but how many hours a day can you have sex? And
how many hours a day do you just spend time talking with a partner, not grunting like
animals? In short, if you are the sort of person who can't get enough of conflict, major and
hard Mars synastry may be just what the doctor ordered.

Aspects in Synastry and Compatibility

Whenever the Moon, Sun, ASC, or Venus form a conjunction with the same very
placement of another (i.e, Moon-Moon), or with one of the others in that group (i.e., Sun-
ASC), it is especially strong for compatibility. Mars-Mars conjunctions are generally pretty
volatile and conflicting, however, but are certainly good for sexuality per se, at least at first.
Conjunctions in particular, with the exception of Mars (or Saturn or Pluto) conjunctions give
the most compatibility. As always, the whole picture, rather than just individual details,
absolutely must be taken into consideration. A relationship simply cannot be read with any
one astrological ingredient. But conjunctions are really the best aspect for compatibility in
general, because compability is primarily about similarity, and no aspect indicates similarity
like a conjunction does.

Oppositions are interesting. They are incredibly strong for attraction, and they are also
basically strong for compatibility. But oppositions also come with some ... well, opposition.
All in all, I consider them reasonably positive when they are between 'soft' planets (i.e.
Mars, Saturn, and Pluto are definitely not included here), but they will eventually bring
some significant elements of stress as well. Too many oppositions are probably too much to
handle unless you can't get enough of being torn in two directions at the same time. An
eight degree orb works well for oppositions, but a closer orb of within six degrees is of
course even stronger.

Squares between any of the five mutual placements (i.e. Venus-Venus, Sun-Sun) are
definitely difficult and indicate an element of significant incompatibility, but the compatibility
absolutely has to be looked at as whole, and a little bit of square energy can be okay if
other conditions are right. When there are square aspects within a reasonable orb (everyone
has their own opinion here, but I recommend an orb of about 6 degrees), they are
particularly important. When the aspects are formed between whole signs, but not by actual
degrees within a 6 degree orb, they are important, but nowhere near as significant as an
actual square aspect.

Sextiles and Trines, true to the common wisdom, are quite nice for synastry. They are
exceptionally nice when the sextiles are within 5 degrees of orb, and when the trines are
within 6 degrees of orb. Sextiles have a bit more of stimulating feeling, and trines have a bit
more of an "easy" feeling. In general, I'd take a nice conjunction as my first choice for
excellent synastry, a trine second, and a sextile third.

Semi-sextile planets are placements that are one sign away from each other. For example,
Moon in Taurus and Moon in Aries. This is probably the least well-understood aspect in
synastry. Basically, it is not at all good. Semi-sextile energies show completely opposite
natures that really do not "get" each other. It's like someone who believes in polygamy with
someone who believes in monogamy. No comprende. An actual semi-sextile aspect, within
about a three-degree orb is an especially problematic issue. A large number of semi-sextile
planets is not at all good for compatible synastry. Check it out and you'll see what I mean.
However, all of the above applies almost entirely to same-planet-to-same-planet semi-
sextiles. So having Moon and Sun in semi-sextile signs between two people may not be a
big deal at all. But having Sun-Sun or Moon-Moon in semi-sextile will eventually be an issue
between two people in real intimacy.

Quincunxes are probably the most confusing aspect in synastry. They tend to get a bad
rap, which is partially quite well deserved. However, an actual close quincunx between
compatible planets such as Venus-Venus, Moon-Moon, Sun-Sun, or ASC-ASC is actually a
very positive connection on the one hand, in addition to the problems of the quincunx on
the other hand. Quincunx planets have a "6-8" relationship with each other in astrology,
which basically indicates an energy that is more heavy, "karmic," and dysfunctional. The
really unusual thing about a quincunx is that a close quincunx (of three degrees and fifteen
minutes or less) between basically 'soft' planets actually give some very strong compatibility
to counter-balance the problems of the quincunx signs. I have to thank the Magi Society's
research for helping me to eventually put this puzzle together. Venus quincunx Venus within
three degrees? Thank them lucky stars.

Another basic compatibility test is to see if two people are basically of the same astrological
gender. Masculine people need masculine partners. Feminine people need feminine
partners. Balanced people can go both ways, but are best with balanced partners. The more
similar two people's astrological gender is, the more compatible they will be.

Conjunctions between the Moon and the Ascendant, the Sun and the Moon, and the Sun and
the Ascendant are some of the best aspects for long-term compatibility. Moon-Moon, ASC-
ASC, and Sun-Sun conjunctions are also in this most compatible category. When these sorts
of conjunctions occur, particularly Moon-ASC, it can give people a very high degree of
compatibility and connection, even if other influences are really difficult. I've often seen
people with almost all of their planets in disharmonious relationships, but then they have
Moon conjunct ASC, and they stay together for a couple of decades or so. Moon-ASC
almost, though not entirely, acts as a cancellation of other hard influences.

Trines and sextiles between Venus and Venus, Venus and Mars, or Mars and Mars (or a
Venus-Venus conjunction) are great aspects for longterm sexual desire and compatibility.
Many astrologers today say that some major hard elements between charts are practically
good. I have to disagree philosophically because of my direct research and experience. Of
course no relationship is perfect, or has perfect synastry. But are relationships really
supposed to be challenging "growth opportunities"? Or are they supposed to be easy, fun,
and enjoyable? Any good relationship requires a willingness to communicate and listen and
act co-operatively, but I do not subscribe to the idea that relationships are supposed to be
hard. I guess it's really a matter of what you like. I like my relationships without pain,
struggle, frustration, and conflict. How about you?

There is also a common sentiment that aspects such as squares are somewhat good
because they generate passion. I used to think the same thing, because that's basically
what I was taught. But experience has shown me that this isn't necessarily that true. For a
short-lived relationship, such hard aspects might be fine, because you can just have great
sex and fight, and then break up. But if you want to be passionate with someone for a long
time, you need to also very naturally love one another and find it easy to be together.
Would you rather have a year of great sex and fighting, or a lifetime of compatibility and
good sex? And how good can it really be to scromp like beasts every once in a while if you
don't particularly like each other the rest of the time? A square here or there might be fine.
That's life, after all. But I do not think squares are to be desired unless you're the sort of
person who truly enjoys conflict.

Example of Jimmy and Jane

Jane has Sun at 2 Cancer, Moon at 5 Aries in the 2nd House, Venus at 15 Gemini, and Mars
at 28 Aquarius, and 17 Pisces Rising.

Jimmy has Sun at 23 Libra, Moon at 9 Leo in the 1st House, Venus at 24 Libra, Mars at 25
Sagittarius, and 4 Cancer Rising.

Moon-Moon: The Moons are not only in trine signs, but are actually in a trine. The Moons
are in a great relationship with one another. With Moon in a fire sign and fire house, Jimmy
definitely needs fire in his partner, and Jane has some strong fire. Another bonus is the
Jimmy's Moon is in Aries' house, and Jane's Moon is in Aries. Since the Moon is the most
important planet in synastry, this is a great, great start. Even if everything else looks
conflicting, Jimmy and Jane will always have a nice Moon connection.

Sun-Sun: Cancer and Libra Suns are square, which in itself is not good, but does create
some polarity and difference, and well ... that's life. At least the Suns are not technically
square, being far from a reasonable orb.

Venus-Venus: The Venus's are in trine signs, which is great. It would be really great if
they were in a real trine, but trine signs is a good sign.

Mars-Mars: The Mars's are in sextile signs, and better yet, an actual sextile. This looks
great for sexual compatibility. Mars contacts can be messy, but this is one of the best ways
to have Mars-Mars connected (the trine being the other best way)

Asc-Asc: The Ascendants are in trine signs which is very good, but not an actual trine.
That's okay, however, because Jane's Sun is conjunct Jimmy's Ascendant, which is very,
very good.
Overall synastry analysis: Of these five placements, only the Suns are not in harmony,
but that is moderated by the Sun-Ascendant conjunction. 4 out of 5 is very good anyway,
and the Sun-ASC connection makes it more like 4.5 or 4.75 out of 5. They could expect
occasional Cancer-Libra differences to come up, but those would be quickly replaced by the
other aspects which are harmonious. So, even when problems arise, harmonious energy will
always be just around the corner.

In general you'd want to have at least 3 out of these 5 placements in harmony with one
another; anything less than that would probably indicate too many problems. However, this
is not a hard-and-fast (no pun intended) rule, and it is certainly possible to be relatively
compatible with someone even if you do not pass the above 'test' together. Again,
compatibility with astrology is a very, very complex matter. More has to be looked at if you
want to see the whole picture.

Synastry and compatibility is a fascinating subject, and there is always a lot more to learn
about it.

These are the aspects to look for when comparing charts

for a couple's astrological compatibility.

Let's look first at the harmonious aspects you would like to have between these planets.
These aspects are the Trine, Sextile, and sometimes the Conjunct.

* Sun and Moon (represents man/woman)

* Sun and Sun (natural affinity)

* Sun and Chiron (trustworthy)

* Moon and Moon (Emotionally attuned)

* Moon and Ascendant or Descendant (a soul kinship)

* Moon and Mars (Adds some heat - conjunction can be too combative)

* Venusand Mars (sexual, affectionate

vibe)
* Venus and Moon (warm caring feelings)

* Venus and Mercury (conversations are

more agreeable)

* Venus and Jupiter (Fun, Fun, Fun, Plus

good money aspect )

* Venus and Sun (Love and appreciation of that person)

* Venus and Ascendant/Descendant (Attracted to the physicality of the person)

* Venus and Chiron (Very positive for

relationships)

* Venus and Saturn (long term

relationship)

* Venus and Uranus (exciting,

spontaneous

* Venus and Neptune (dreamy

romanticism)

* Venus and Pluto (intense love

feelings)

* Mars and Ascendant/Descendant

* Mars and Jupiter (Adds a lot of energy in

whatever you choose to pursue)

* Mars and Chiron (Fertile aspect !)

* Jupiter and Chiron (fortunate and blessed

union)
* Jupiter and Sun (Rose colored glasses -
benefactor)

* Jupiter and Mercury (common spiritual

beliefs)

* Jupiter and Ascendant (beneficial )

* Saturn and Moon (stability,

commitment)

* Saturn and Ascendant (adds stability and security)

* Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and any point in the chart is fine.

The most important harmonious aspects to look for in a long term relationship and
synastry compatibility are the Sun and Moon aspects, Venus to Mars/Sun/Ascendant, and
Chiron to Venus/Sun/Moon/ Jupiter, and Neptune. So look for these first.

Now the reason some of the conjunct aspects are good "sometimes" is because it depends on the
individual. With Saturn, it delays, teaches and restricts - but it can also be a source of
dependability and stability. If you are someone who needs a lot of freedom in your relationship
and doesn't like to be depended on too much, this aspect can feel too restrictive. On the other
hand if you are looking for a companion who can be bring much needed stability to your
emotions (moon), self expression (sun), or
to a relationship (Ascendant/descendant) you might prefer this aspect.

Neptune on the other hand can be quite dreamy - to a fault. Disillusionment and victimhood
could be brought out in a relationship with this aspect (not to mention substance abuse). With
Uranus, a conjunction could indicate many separations (say your partner was a pilot or traveled a
lot on business this wouldn't be so bad) however, if you were someone who preferred a 9 to 5
partner, this could cause many problems. And then there's Pluto well, intensity is good for some
things and not always good for others.....

Next we'll look at the aspects in synastry compatibility to LOOK OUT FOR ! YIKES

Look for squares, oppositions, and sometimes the conjunct between you and your partner's
planets, especially between the outer planets (saturn, neptune, uranus, and pluto) to your personal
planets (sun, moon, mercury, venus, mars). The missing planet, Jupiter, is a mixed bag. At a
square or opposite aspect it more or less adds arrogance, exaggeration, laziness, and overdoing.
Nothing too bad, but could add an annoying element to the mix.

The most challenging (to say the least) aspects to look for are from Saturn to Venus, Moon,
and Chiron. It is called the "heartbreak aspect" in some astrology books. So look out for these !
The next most difficult are from Uranus because of the reversal or separation effect. Pluto to
your personal planets can be bring you manipulation/possessiveness/jealousy/over-controlling.
And Neptune again, can lead you down the road to dissolution and disillusions.

So as you can see squares and oppositions mostly denote a problem area in a relationship.
However, it can also have a stimulating affect as well. You must look to your synastry
combinations to see how your squares and oppositions are working in your relationships.

Next look at the midpoint between the Sun and Moon. Take your sun/moon midpoint and
check to see if the other person's Sun or Moon makes a Hard aspect to it, such as; conjunct,
square, opposition, sesquiquadrate, semi-square within 8 degrees. Then check his/hers to yours.
Combine the two midpoints, to get your combined midpoint, and check both sets of moons/suns
to this point. This adds energy to the union to make it "official" so to speak - Not that it always
ends in marriage, but there is rarely a couple out there that doesn't have some connection here.
You can even check the
progressed charts. Progressed sun by forward or converse progression can make this aspect too,
especially when the couple meets or when they become more committed.

Now, in assessing your synastry, if you were looking for "Mr. Right, or Ms. Right" and it's
important to have sparks in your relationship look for harmonious aspects involving venus with
mars, pluto, and uranus and Mars to jupiter, and ascendant. If you are looking for a good
companion and the sparks are not so important look for venus and moon, venus, saturn, sun, and
ascendant. If you want a relationship that isn't too predictable look for harmonious aspects with
uranus. If, however, you love stability, longevity and security look to harmonious aspects with
saturn.

Now remember, even the most romantic couples, even the couples' whose marriages have
become golden, and even cinderella and prince charming, had some challenging aspects in their
synastry compatibility. However, it makes for a more enjoyable relationship the more
harmonious aspects you have. And you have to decide what's important to you in a relationship,
what you can overcome, and what you can put up with !
