What placements, aspects, overlays etc. have your closest friends in common? Do they reflect your chart's themes? Any mirrors, yin-yang patterns?

I came upon this idea because I am feeling enormous gratefulness and love toward the three of my friends who I know will be connected to me throughout my whole life, no matter where we happen to move, whether we don't hear from each other for a while, we'll stay forever in touch. There are perhaps others too, but to a much lesser extent.

They all have Scorpio personal planets (which I don't, neither do I have 8H overlays, strong Pluto aspects etc.), so it's surprising in a way, especially considering my big three (Aqua, Libra, Sag), which would suggest a clash of personalities, and also the fact that I always frown upon Scorpio adoration here and the textbook description of the sign. Things that stand out in my chart which could potentially explain my obvious appreciation of Scorpio placements, is my Sun/Moon midpoint conjunct Scorpio Pluto in 9H, which is also ruled by Scorpio. I'm just slowly realizing that 9H is a very important house for me, considering my Sag Moon, MC and Jupiter conjunct SN. Scorpio values are of utmost importance to me and since what I value the most is integrity in people, depth of thought and emotions, a strong, moral life philosophy, well then, no wonder my friends

Other things I noticed when analysing our charts were:

- we all have major aspects between Sun-Chiron and Venus-Chiron.
Come to think about it, Chiron theme is very strong in our conversations, our bonds. Pain and vulnerability as a important part of our identity, constant search for self-assertiveness, appreciation of alternative means of healing, healing ourselves, self-reflections, feelings of being an outsider, identifying with being an outsider, observer of the society, valuing empathy and healing above all, turning humility into strength and constant struggles with lack of self-worth and painful relationships - that sums almost all our most meaningful conversations.

- another thing we have in common is fixed AC-DSC axis, which I think gives a permeating feeling of familiarity

- we all have different nonpersonal planets conjuncting our Moons. Pluto, Saturn, Uranus and Black Moon Lilith (not a planet technically I know, but I still count it as such), which gives us unconventional and strong views on all things lunar - emotions, family, role of women, our mothers, very complex relationship with either our mothers and/or expectations of women in society. We are all in our core, "outer"-planet peeps (though not technically), we struggle with sense of belonging, because we will never really feel we belong. Conversations about society are a must, we feel connected with the rest of the world. 4H, IC or Cancer theme is strong in every chart. So yeah, we do talk a lot about family and our country, politics.

What they all have, which I don't is:

-Moon aspecting Ascendant
they wear their sensitivity, very attuned to other's emotions, considerate - something I hold dear to my heart as a Virgo Venus. I have Moon in 11H.

- Neptune aspecting Moon
I can appreciate that with Mars-Neptune and 12H overlays, apparently I even look for it in my friends also, I have Neptune in 11H.

- Jupiter aspecting Moon -that for me as a Sag Moon is a must.
