*+-Sometimes a relationship is over, or nearly over, and the client (I hate that word client — I need a new word) wants the synastry, the chart comparison done and I always say sure, it’s up to you. But in the back of my mind, or the front of mind, […]
Compatibility/Synastry
27 posts
*+-Opal in the comments inspired this post. She was talking about my Synastry blog post this morning that was talking about how some people, more sensitive ones, will get exhausted by too many hard aspects in synastry and a more detatched type may have more stamina for this. Read the […]
*+-A gal on Twitter was asking about squares and oppositions in Synastry. She’s feeling bummed out about all the “doom and gloom” type predictions. My honest opinion? Too many squares and oppositions? It won’t work. Unless you are a masochist. That much misunderstanding, and I think that’s what too many […]
*+-When things are good, I like writing about my relationship. When things are tense, I like writing about my relationship. I especially like to write about jealousy, and the other night, on the phone, having fun, I started to probe. Now I’m no Scorpio, but a Moon Pluto conjunction in […]
*+-I love the sounds of the morning: my roommate pouring cereal in a bowl. The opening of the refrigerator door. Funny, I didn’t think she ate cereal… and now I hear the clinking of the spoon against her usual mug. Maybe she was pouring something else and yet it sounded […]
*+-This morning, a pal on Twitter asked my opinion about a minor aspect in chart comparison. I was my often cranky self and I told him: sometimes astrologers miss what’s right in front of them. And yeah he did go on to tell me about a Saturn square and a […]
*+-So I wanted to write about love in the natal chart. And I don’t mean finding love but about the capacity TO love. They say the 5th House is the love you give and the 11th House is the love you receive. What if one is empty and one is full? […]
*+-You know what? I feel like I haven’t written about Virgo in a while. And, well, this could be devastating to Virgo. Oops, that’s my Venus in Leo talking 😉 But seriously. it has been… a couple weeks maybe that I didn’t address any Virgo foible. This must be corrected! […]
*+-You really have to look at the whole chart. You really have to compare the two charts. You really have to interact with the person. You really have to try. Or, at least, feel out the situation. I always say to Trust the Chart but we live and breathe in […]
*+-Relationships always bring you back to yourself… in maddening ways, but ultimately good, transformative, 8th House ways. Understand this: Moon Pluto people are always struggling in their intimacy. Wrestling with themselves. They are too intense, too domineering, they give too much, or they withhold. They alienate, they go round and […]
*+-So I was talking to my boyfriend and I was remembering that my natal Uranus trines his Venus, exact I think. And I said to him, “Venus trine Uranus! Your love shocks me.” It’s a good shock though. It’s a trine. But a shock all the same. Shockingly good. Shockingly […]
*+-My boyfriend’s Saturn Chiron conjunction conjuncts my descendent. And North Node. Yes, you heard me right. Anyone else would, perhaps, leave town. Leave the country. Jump in front of a speeding #7 train. But not me. I’m Venus Neptune girl. I’m Venus Saturn girl. I’m Venus Jupiter girl. Square, Square, […]
*+-Recently I wrote a blog post about Cancer Scorpio INcompatibility but the truth is, this match can work. Just like any of the pairings in the Zodiac can work. But I wanted to write another post about it in case I inadvertently discouraged anyone out there, any little crabs or […]
*+-Because it’s such a harsh sky out there, and because we’re all under it, I decided to try to write something light. And then couldn’t think of anything. So instead I’ll write about my love life 😉 My boyfriend is a Sagittarius with too many water placements and women like […]
*+-Ever notice that even if the ex-girlfriend is the same sign as you, or has similar placements, that she’s not like you at all. Or she’s the lower vibration of the sign. The very worst of the sign. Or that her sign and ruling planet don’t EXIST in our galaxy. […]
*+-The sign of Capricorn rules my 5th House. I am not the Life of the Party (according to Isabel Hickey). I am Saturnian in Love. So what happens when the Life of the Party falls in love with… Not the Life of the Party? Dear Fellow Star Gazers, I have […]
*+-Capricorn governs the things of the body that break, but don’t break us: skin and bone. Leo, on the other hand, rules the heart 🙂 In a battle of wills between these two, who would win? And would that battle keep love from staying the night?
*+-I can never remember the names of the different chakras, no matter how many times I read about them. Or experience them. Early in my relationship, I was trying to express… some feelings to my boyfriend. Express that I felt him in my heart chakra and in my… but I […]
*+-Truth is, I didn’t. Not at all. But I am acquiring more and more non-Virgos in my life. Everyone with a shit-ton of Virgo should do the same. Virgo is the consummate worrier. Virgo doesn’t even know when Virgo is worrying until a non-Virgo yells STOP.
*+-This pairing is supposed to be one for the record books, but I have my doubts. Why? Reason One: Scorpio so close to Libra and Sagittarius on the wheel often guarantees a sidedish of these two signs which tend to annoy Cancer, especially Libra.
*+-Now this is an interesting match. These two signs sextile, which means, potentially, they go together nicely. Earth and water. But as the saying goes, what do earth and water make? Mud!
*+-My boyfriend told me about a dream he had last night. It was an erotic dream. After he was done telling me “what happened,” I was most curious about what it meant, not just for him, but symbolically. Thank me, I said to him. Thank me for not asking you […]
*+-I’m a Cancer Sun Mercury and Mars so everything for me begins and ends with feeeeeeeelings. And here’s my question today: How do you feel about the opposition, in regards to synastry? We all know what the astro textbooks say, but what is your experience? Have you found romantic oppositions […]
*+-And today the Boyfriend said something that surprised me. He was joking but not really. Telling me that my purpose in life was to fret over him. That that was the reason why I was born. I told him I didn’t want that. It would deplete me. He laughed. It […]
