Has anyone ever come across anyone that totally, totally INSPIRES them, in no reasonable or rational sense?
Well, it's happening to me, right now!
I am so unbelievably inspired by this person, my crush on him has given free rein to an enormous burst of creativity. For instance - I've written several songs this year because of him (I wrote a song this evening). Not about him, just because of him. I hardly know him, but it's almost like his being there, his existing - does something to me, and I wonder whether I'm going slightly mad. I really admire his work and sometimes try to incorporate the same visual devices as he does in my artwork. Not that our work is the same, you understand. On the contrary, we have very different approaches.
Recently I launched a website with a link to his site. It's literally VERY recently launched so I have no idea whether he has seen it or not, or whether he likes or hates it. The thing is - though we do things differently, re: interests we do seem to share quite a bit of common ground, and I'm not sure whether that will attract or repel him.
But - back to this ability he has to inspire me - and he has, in so many ways - what is it I'm experiencing? I'm creating better stuff, pushing myself harder than I ever have!
Oh - he's a Scorpio, by the way.

Same feeling here …
Maybe is some synastry aspect. I’m guessing Sun Neptune conjunction or venus pluto square, opposition.

Yeah, it's either love in it's purest form, or he is reminding you of something that is already inside of you.

Nadalie!!!
How did you guess?
My Venus (Pisces) opposes his Pluto (Virgo). Plus in composite we have Venus Trine Pluto.
Astrojunkie - you're right, I think he does remind me of something that's already inside me.
Pixie - ;-) thanks!

Yes, Pluto contacts with moon, Venus and Mars can spark inspiration and/or obsessions. Pluto is particularly good at the whole charisma/obsession thing. Other things that can trigger such feelings, in varying intesities (note that some are also considered "soulmate" aspects):

- 8th and 12th house synastry contacts, especially if person A's Venus or Mars falls in person B's 8th/12th house

- Personal planets that fall in the other person's Sun-moon midpoint

- contact with personal planets with other person's NN/SN

- intense Venus-Mars contacts, especially conjunctions, squares and oppositions, or in planets that are inclined to rash behavior, like Scoprio or fire signs (these are often associated with sexual attraction, but often inspiration and sexual attraction go hand and hand)

- synastry configurations like kite or yod, especially if the configuration includes Neptune or Pluto

- Sun or moon contacts with other person Uranus, often with other "attractive" aspects in the synastry

- Sun or moon conjunctions with other person's Mars

There are others, too. However it seems that when Pluto is involved it often creates pretty intense obsession rather than simple inspiration.

Obsession. We all need help!

What say you, Pluto PixelPixie?

Obsession. Use it? Or lose it?

Hmmm, let's see...
His Pluto, Uranus and Mars(Virgo) opposite my Moon and Venus (Pisces), square my Mars (Gemini).
My Venus trine his Venus (Scorpio), opposite his Mars (Virgo).

Hmmm...

That is venus/pluto synastry aspect for you! Obssesion! Especially if you have venus/pluto aspect in your natal chart.
I must comment because I had a question about this aspect on another thread. I wanted to know if there is a venus-pluto square (opposition) in a synastry chart, does the pluto person feel it as well? And what do they feel?

"Venus-Pluto interaspects:

point to intense and magnetic attraction.

These aspects figure strongly in relationships that are long-lasting and significant. Love with these people is intense and transforming. This interaspect demands physical presence. When the natives are apart from each other, jealousies can arise. The difficult aspects generally play out as an emotional rollercoaster ride, with extreme swings from loving intensely to antagonism."

AH! HA! I found another word.

Antagonism.

Does anyone feel like men in general are being more "defensive" lately?

Antagonism is something you outgrow when you've been bit one too many times ... (hopefully) ...

Of course he's a Scorpio. *L*
If you found someone who truly inspires you in any possitive way, hold on to the inspiration. It's increasingly difficult it seems to find people with enough good qualities to be inspiring.
Is there a romantic connection here, by any chance?

AJ, why is it that when a woman becomes angry, justly or otherwise, she's asserting herself, but if a man becomes angry for any reason, he's being defensive or, apparently, antagonistic?

Seems to me, when a woman asserts herself, she's called a B!itch.
Am I wrong here? I don't think so.

Oh - today a very strange coincidence happened. I had an idea that I thought might be quite good to implement at work, so I emailed it to the boss. He emailed back, saying I must be psychic - they had literally, just now, started work on an exactly similar plan.
Now this particular idea is very specific, in fact so specific I have an idea I know who may have suggested it, and I don't somehow think it could be anyone else!
This guy makes me feel unbelievably positive. In a way, I wish he knew how he makes me feel. As an Aries (!) I have this strong urge to tell him how I feel, but this voice inside me says, "Don't. Let the friendship - if one is going to develop at all - develop naturally". I feel as though I'm champing at the bit. I don't want to be pursuing him too much, but - I really, really like him!!!
I don't know if I emailed him and said, "hey, I like you, and I would like to be friends with you" whether he'd think I was a complete idiot - or OBSESSIVE, and avoid me like the plague!
Plus, of course, I am married and I do love my husband, but not in the same way, this is different, I have really fallen hook, line and sinker! I've never felt this way before. Then again - does he feel the same way? I am fairly businesslike in my dealings with him, and always try to present myself and my work in the best possible way. However, I'm not quite sure he's seeing the real me here.
Oh God - I would really like him to like me!

Oh, I would imagine he's a fairly typical Scorpio, by the way. Polite, and pleasant (on occasion REALLY nice), but I don't think he'd take too kindly to being embarrassed. Drive, ambition, vision, creativity, quest for perfection...
And I feel such a darned rat playing the Ice Queen...

nadalie - you asked if in a venus/pluto square or opposition in synastry the pluto person also feels this obsession/creativity as much as the venus person feel it.
i've been on the venus side too, and i felt it. i was wondering as well if anyone has been on the pluto side and can inform us what it's like over there.

Doesn't everyone know what obsession feels like? It feels like, nothing you do is ever good enough, you are never satisfied,

The Venus is usually more physically obsessed bu the Pluto side is just the same only in the mind. It's hidden, but it's there.

I've been the Pluto and it's not easy, breaking it off causes some destruction.

The word I've heard A LOT of lately in reference to women in the negative sense is "bitter", if they have complaints (justified or not, everyone is entitled to vent) about an experience, ANY experience...I feel this word is over used and inappropriately applied.

Now here's a strange thing -
My Venus opposes my husband's Pluto too, and his Venus squares my Pluto. But he's probably more obsessed with me than I am with him. I'm not obsessed with him at all, but I am with this other guy.

Perhaps it's simply got everything to do with basic psychology - the fact that the Scorpio is always very complimentary and makes me feel extremely positive - seriously, I "glow" inside - whereas Mr. Aqua is mostly rather negative towards, and about me, and says I shouldn't expect compliments from him (I don't!)

My ex's Venus is conjunct my Pluto in Virgo, we both have a living obsessive relationship that never dies no matter how far away we are from each other, regardless of other people.

We could be separated by 10,000 miles and married to other people and he would still call me up and want to know if we can be together.

I find the relationship fascinating, but not him.
He has been in therapy for his controlling obsessive compulsive behavior and he is getting slowly better. His Venus and Pluto are both in Virgo although not conjunct.

I have also known a Pisces whose Sun was directly opposite my Pluto.
He was paranoid, angry, and controlling, always ready to believe the worst. He was a friend at work, who tried to control my entire life at one point, threatening suicide.

His Pluto was opposite his Sun as well, and his Moon was in Scorpio.

My ex also had Mercury and Neptune conjunct in Scorpio/6th house.
Which I believe led him to be obsessive around me with my Pluto in Virgo.

I do not know if I have ever been that controlling, I think around another Pisces, and an Aquarian, both much older with Pluto in Leo.
My Venus is in Aries.

So I believe there is a lot to the Pluto/Venus synastry.

But I wouldn't want to go through it again, I prefer light hearted interactions now, as obsessive behavior eventually leads to expensive therapy.
