Because astrology, in my opinion, doesn't dictate your life. It provides insight but in no way controls your relationships. A relationship involves two individuals with free will, so anything can happen.IP: Logged |

I thought this oince when i knew a girls chart was in theory ideal. Yet she possed all the worst possible traits and basically was awful. I couldn't understand why even though she had Sun in Libra she wasn't at all Libran. She pssossed Moon in Taurus but had none of the cuteness or down-to-earth tendencies. She had Venus in Leo but had absolutely no flambouyance. Mars in Scorpio but struck me as Frigid.
Loads of other things that just didn't seem right.
Before someone says it - no i wasn't trying to pull her - far from it.
I think astrology dictates ALOT, but i think instances like i've just highlighted, and Shop too, are down to interpretation error or Fundamental Attribution Error as psychologists call it.
I know Shop and i don't like eachother but i think she raises an interesting point here and one i'm sure we've all considered. ------------------

I'm jealous. I want someone local to have a favorable chart with mine.  Someday I imagine there will be an astrology-based dating service.IP: Logged |

Don't we all AcousticGod. What i've found is it comes in the most unexpected way when you're not looking or calculating for it. Also i would use the analogy "A watched kettle never boils"------------------

Now here's an interesting topic!Shirty makes a good point, BUT... (I'm going to take your point to its logical extreme, ok, shirty?) ...if planetary positions exerted NO influence, and Free Will did ALL the work, then why would we be so affected by ANY of the relationships that show great synastric compatibility? So maybe the disparity is in the balancing of astrological inclination and Free Will? But to answer your first question, shop22much, I haven't experienced this myself. At least not that I'm aware of; but then again, I don't usually bother with synastry unless I'm comparing the charts of two other people (neither of whom is me, I mean), or unless I'm romantically interested in a person. And hey, thank you, marsconjunctmercury, for introducing me to a new psychological term! (Fundamental Attribution Error) I looked it up on Wikipedia. A very useful thought! Something to guard against in my own thinking.  IP: Logged |

shop, YES YES YES!!
I met my ex boyfriend recently and thought we had a good mental connection. I checked our chart and it had like sun conjunct moon and venus conjunct pluto and moon conjunct venus I think too, overall all the best aspects, BUT, the thing is, nothing happens.
It indicated love and passion, but there is none. He is so detached emotionally . Virgo sun, moon libra.
We were together for 2 years, and I think he called me like 3 times during that whole period.
Although when I called him, which was often, we talked for hours.
I dont know why its like this ,but I guess in life things are alot more difficult, and not so easy.
Even if you find a good partner and you love eachother for years, the bad times will come and they will hurt and suck

Paras;
sorry for being so vague, hehe. I meant to say that there are MANY factors in making a successful relationship. I believe astrology can give you direction and point out struggles or eases in a relationship.. but I think that you can overcome any of those problems if you try hard enough.Too often do I see people give up on a relationship just because the synastry is off, or the charts don't "align." I find that sad because you are never going find a perfect chart, you have to MAKE it work. I hope that's more clear, I didn't mean for it to be so cut and dry, hehe. Astrology, like anything else, is just another factor (but a very good one, might I add, and a VERY handy tool). cheers IP: Logged |

shop,Another thing to consider, before doing the synastry of both charts, is each chart separately. If one or the other person's chart indicates that they have challenges with relationships in some way, then it will be extra challenging in getting the relationship off the ground.

I didn't think you were being cut-and-dried at all, shirty.  I was just taking one thing you said and following it to its logical extreme so I could introduce its opposite principle -- a common Libra tactic to maintain unbiased thinking. And you're very right when you say "you have to MAKE it work." I wish more people (especially the women I've been in relationships with) understood that, and were willing to put in the effort.Excellent point, wilsontc! Oh, and I, too, love your little signature lines. IP: Logged |

Hi all,From completing many people's charts, I honestly think that the 'negative/trying' aspects give you strenght to use your 'favourable' placements well. All sign placments are good, some obviously more strong than others. If it is always easy to express energy, then the person doesn't learn the skills to develop. In synastry, those oppositions/negative (hate that word), can make life hard, but also rewarding. If everything is excellent, then you can take things for granted, thereby not showing the inner greatness, rather expecting it. (I just got back from lunch and can't remember where I was going with this.... there may be a chapter 2!!!) Otherwise, hope this makes sense.
