Yes, he's an Aries with a Pisces rising. This makes him both ambitious and creative. He's in a high position in his career for such a young man. They call him the "The Wiz Kid."

> take it he's not an athlete?

He prefers rock climbing and those "extreem" adventurous sports where you might be killed if something were to go wrong. This is an Aries, remember?

I'm surprized everyone missed the capricorn moon squaring the sun. His mother wore the pants in the family and ran over dad.

It has not escaped my notice that he now prefers older women. I think he want's a fiesty head-strong woman (like his mother) who will let *him* lead.

He still sees himself as a kid, typical aries trait, and has this insatiable need to play "grown up" which, in his mind, means being in charge of things and taking care of people. And undernieth it all is any little boys fantasy of finally being the boss of mommy.

I have Uranus in Libra/10th I find myself attracted to air and earth ascendants. It doesn't always last, but it's a good indicator of what you like physically. Long term is what I like, but I find myself indecisive, a Libra trait. I can't decide if I am in love when I wake up in the morning.

Psychology, children, marriage, procreation, creativity, all things 5th house turn you on.

I do believe the 8th house is about shared resources and so it's about subterfuge and submerging one's ego and identity into another. This is not usually a position of strength. It's not evil, it's just about submerging. A planet in the 8th makes it difficult to express it's energies. That's basic, but in the moon it's not as obvious since it's changeable and hidden anyway. Mars in the 8th would be more obvious.

So I would rephrase the word fall to read difficult to express. Venus in Aries is difficult to express. Mars in the 7th is difficult to express.

My first hubby was an Aries with Pisces rising, Gemini moon, Venus in Pisces and Mars in Cancer. He was low on earth, and when he said jump you jumped. He was not real generous. I do not like to jump for any IT boy even a sexy aries. I have my own credit cards and needs so I don't need to hang around waiting for inspiration from a young Aries. I like older Aries though.

They have great stories to tell.

I can knock any Aries man flat anyway in the story department so I'm not impressed,

This is the very first I've heard of Uranus' spark and attraction. But you say it's only refers to the Asc... is there a theory on why the Asc only?

Pluto is also in my 8th, I Libra though...

I'm no pervert!

BUT what do you think about your Aquarius 8th compared to a Scorpio one? the Aqua is all about distance and detachment. (I should know; my bf has Sun, Mars and Merc in Aqua). The Scorpio is quite intense and emotional, passionate...things that the usual Aqua "hates", that are too... personal.

Astrlogers usually highlight other things for Uranus, astrology, the unexpected, technology, secrets, mysteries and puzzles, science, but for a long time it was the planet of sexual attraction and sometimes homosexuality. That is up to debate, I know, I know..
Uranus is about being curious. Plus the new and unusual and works a bit like Gemini in a chart.

We know Geminis are sexually curious too. There was a huge amount of interest in Uranus when the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal hit because of their Uranus contacts. This reinforced what astrologers knew and they pulled out the JFK articles.

JFK had Uranus in Aquarius, and so the articles flowed. Now they are all gone but I remember:>

It's true that Bill's ascendant was conjunct Monica's Uranus and there was an intense sexual attraction there. I have read the articles and I have been convinced that Uranus works like Gemini, stimulating new interests and feelings.

The sign and house and contacts it makes, determine how the expression takes place, in the mind, or physically. Uranus in Libra is sexually attracted to others if there are contacts, I know this for a fact since I am pretty detached and find myself fascinated suddenly by those who have planets that make contact.

Ascendants in Libra for example are people I just can't miss in a room.

So Uranus is the planet of fascination, which can lead to and usually does lead to sexual attraction if we are talking about the opposite sex. Of course mood and opportunity have to work together.

Here's a great article

Astrology is one of those sciences that has a deeper meaning the longer you study, but it's easy to miss a good article. There is more interest in pop astrology these days.

 Indications of Sexual Attraction:

 When somebody's Mars falls in your 5th house, heart-pounding reactions and strong romantic/sexual desires and crushes can be activated. The Mars person WANTS you, although the attraction may not last long unless there are other stable aspects and positions in your synastry.

When somebody's Mars falls in your 8th house, you inspire deep sexual urges and physical desires in that person.

A conjunction of someone's Mars to any angle (that is, the Ascendant, Descendant, Midheaven-10th cusp, or IC - 4th cusp) in your natal chart will pull out gut reactions and intensity of desire. 

Mars-Sun conjunctions, squares, and oppositions usually inspire a need to make the relationship physical and generate a sort of "buzz" of energy between the two people involved.

Venus-Mars conjunctions and squares can inspire quite a bit of fuss and sexual interest, while Venus-Mars sextiles and trines offer a more pleasing, less in-your-face attraction.

Venus-Pluto conjunctions, squares, and oppositions are one of the most potent cross-aspects for sexual and emotional attraction. Although both people are generally attracted to each other, it is the Venus person who is the most enthralled and even obsessed with Pluto--Venus is consumed with the attraction. Ultimately, it is the Pluto person who has the upper hand in terms of whether the relationship is going to endure.

Moon-Mars aspects can generate strong feelings that are often both physical and emotional at once, with the Mars person involved taking most of the initiative in the relationship, which can be very attractive to the Moon person (at least at the outset of the relationship). 

Venus-Uranus conjunctions and squares can generate so much interest to the point of enthrallment, and often result in sexual activity between people before they know each other well. This can be a confusing and destabilizing contact in the long term, but these aspects generally inspire initial attraction. When these relationships last, the Uranus person is often seen as inconstant by the Venus person and there can be many ups and downs.

Mars-Pluto conjunctions and squares are often powerful indicators of initial attraction and sexual intrigue.

Ascendant-Ascendant conjunctions, sextiles, and trines, while not as strong as the indicators above, give a pleasing sense of physical harmony.

The basic idea is this: If your Sun is at, say, 3 degrees of Leo, what house would your Sun occupy in your partner's chart? 

Your Sun in your partner's 1st House: You can't help but notice each other! Generally, this overlay generates approval between the two--more specifically, your approval and affection for your partner is welcomed by your partner, offering a pleasant feeling of being able to be open and free in your presence. You give each other an ego boost, and this overlay tends to offer relationships a feeling of camaraderie and general agreement.

Your Sun in your partner's 2nd House: This position does not indicate a feeling of being true peers as the first or eleventh houses, for example, bestow. Because the second house is associated with the phrase "I want", there is a general sense that there is something concrete to be gained through the couple's association with this overlay. Your partner may feel that he/she is an object rather than a person, or a means to an end. Possessiveness should be avoided, as this can lead to either person feeling stifled. In a sexual relationship, there is likely to be considerable desire, but, again, be sure to avoid treating each other as if you own them.

Your Sun in your partner's 3rd House: This placement is particularly helpful when you are in close contact with each other on a day-to-day basis, as you tend to feel comfortable with each other's way of dealing with everyday life. Your partnership is generally easygoing.

Your Sun in your partner's 4th House: This position promotes a powerful connection. A very basic sense of shared identity is felt between you and your partner. You have a strong desire to protect and defend your partner, and there is a feeling that you will always be in each other's corner. 

Your Sun in your partner's 5th House: This is generally considered to be an excellent position for romance and fun. You bring out your partner's creativity and sense of fun. Often this pair has a strong interest in making children together, although difficult aspects of the Sun to the partner's planets can point to children as being a source of conflict in the relationship; or, if children are not the issue, your partner may feel stifled by your overpowering need to be the only one who gives him/her pleasure. Jealousies and possessiveness can result, and it generally works both ways, though you may display these things more than your partner. You view your partner as a vehicle through which you can have fun, and the success of this relationship will depend much on how your partner responds to this fact.

Your Sun in your partner's 6th House: This overlay is an interesting, multi-faceted one. For some reason, your partner's day-to-day affairs become your business. In some way, you help organize your partner's life, or vice versa, and want to know the little things that make up their day. Sometimes it is a conscious thing, and you take pleasure in it. Other times, it is hard to explain why you become so involved in your partner's everyday life. This relationship can be an imbalanced, unequal partnership. The danger with this position is that the Sun can become bossy or prying if it's not kept in check. Avoid dictating your partner's every move, even if your partner seems to want it. Eventually, the imbalance in your relationship can be a source of resentment. At your best, you show your affection for your partner by doing little things for them or giving them sound advice. At your worst, you end up criticizing the little things that they do. How this position is handled can often be shown by the aspects that the Sun makes to the partner's planets. Difficult aspects can point to a relationship that is imbalanced, eventually turning into a burden. However, flowing aspects can suggest a relationship in which one or the other takes on a helpful role.

Your Sun in your partner's 7th House: This overlay is a magnetic one. This is one of the more powerful overlays in synastry, resulting in a very natural union between two people. The main caution here, however, is that the union is so powerful that individual identities can feel as if lost--where you and your partner start and finish may be quite blurred.  What starts out as a powerful and natural union might deteriorate into a union comprised of resentment and competitiveness.

Your Sun in your partner's 8th House: There is a deep fascination with your partner, and either you simply feel unsettled in his/her presence and part ways, or you feel inexplicably drawn to him/her. There is nothing superficial about this union, when it does occur, and you should be prepared for a deep and sometimes disturbing interaction. 

Your Sun in your partner's 9th House: You see in your partner a person with whom you seek agreement and affirmation for your own belief systems. This is a somewhat intellectual partnership, one built on shared visions and ideals.

Your Sun in your partner's 10th House: You take great interest in your partner's place in society--whether that be his/her job or general status. Sometimes this indicates that you perceive your partner to be in a position of authority or status, and you naturally tend to follow him/her along, deferring to that "authority". Some tensions can occur with this position, simply because there isn't a feeling of equality in this relationship.

Your Sun in your partner's 11th House: You get the strong feeling that your partner is someone with whom you can share common pleasures and goals. Your partner is your buddy and comrade, and you fully appreciate spending fun leisure times together. This position offers a wonderful theme of tolerance and acceptance. Neither one of you is judging the other. Problems can occur if your partner is looking for a tighter bond with you.

As for Uranus' connection with homosexuality, I believe this is because of a few things. For one, Aquarius goes into sex with their minds. It's not a lusty kind of "monkey love". In bed, they are constantly thinking about what's going on and what they want to do. The physical connection is just one more way of making a connection to another person.

(Sex is usually about anything except sex).

Also, Aquarius has a very balanced ratio male/female traits. Therefore, Aquarius males connect equally with males as with females, and if it happens to be physical, it's just one more way to connect.

Same with females.

When I watch Aquarians of both sexes interact on a platonic level with the SAME sex, there's a natural merging, even if no sex is occuring. They put the same quality of care towards same sex as opposite sex. They feel everyone's pain the same.

There are a few other signs which possess that male/female balance, such as Libra and Gemini. Signs like Scorpio, Aries, Capricorn and Taurus allow this only to apply if they are female. In other words, the female Scorpio has more male traits than a male Scorpio has female traits. Perhaps because the female is compelled to overcompensate for an imbalance of power in society. But this is NOT the same as the "homosexual" or "asexual" components I mention with Aqaurius.

To me, guys who are Pisces, Cancer, and Virgo have more female traits than the females have male traits. In my observation, it is because these males are compelled to overcompensate for an imbalance of power in a male-dominated society, which they've encountered as overly aggressive.

#1 phrase Aquarius hears most: "I've never met anyone like you before."

cristiname- BUT what do you think about >your Aquarius 8th compared to a Scorpio >one? Aqua is all about distance and >detachment. The Scorpio is quite intense >emotional, passionate...things that the >usual Aqua "hates", that are too... >personal.

Hmmm- interesting thing to point out, I've got a new perspective on it now. Aquarius both fears and desperatly needs intimacy. His Scorpio will "force" the intimacy on me, which I would never dare seek on my own. So I can see where this can be very positive and symbiotic.

What are you a novice? a planet can most certinally be in a house where the planet that sits there (moon 8th) is in its fall. The moon is not happy in Scorpio,or capricorn, (8th and 10th houses) both signs are opposite the signs where the moon is home and exalted (cancer and Taures)

As for that stupid uncalled for remark, Sex in a confessional is sacreligious. You're any thing but profound or witty.

It's okay to be detached, there is a lot of negativity associated with it, especially around women but it can be the best way to learn about yourself. I think of Aquarian women as those who like to try on different sensual personalities until someone comes along who fits the mold of what they need intimacy wise. Yes Aquas do like others to take the lead in intimacy that's true.

But Aquas take the lead in sensual experience, so your ideal partner would look up to you but be unafraid. Sort of like a male vestal virgin. I have found Aquas love sensual experience and that's refreshing for a Gemini/7th house.

It can make your partner really insecure if he or she is too young.

I once had a friend who was a the lead in a fetish girl/girl act that toured all over the South. I don't remember her name, they were both blondes and into leather. They were both so innocent, but one was a Scorpio and so got sick of it fast. Aquas can do the same thing longer by detaching. In actuality men thought they were the sexiest things alive, regardless of the fact they never touched men and were totally unemotional throughout the entire thing. Something that amazed both of them.

I think they were experiencing what others would think of them. The 11th house is about others, friends, a support system, the experience is meant to be shared. So I think the Aqua girl just liked to share her experiences with others, it wasn't about feeling. The Scorpio liked to feel everything and so got burned out fast. Not everyone appreciated the show though and I thought the Aqua was getting shorted in the money department.

She went on to do porn movies and I lost touch with her because of that since my Venus in Aries likes a touch of innocence in my friends. One doesn't lead to the other of course. She made her own choices.

Aquas will do things for shock value and also to make their friends feel better about themselves.

If it makes you feel good about your own self esteem I would do it, but it's hard to focus on yourself sometimes.

I don't judge just care,
