Hello everybody, ok I need some feedback from you guys, how important would you say the Moon is in a synastry chart? I honestly believe the Moon plays a huge part in how a relationship will turn out in the end. Even more so than Venus, Sun, Mars... Our ego through the Sun and how we express our emotion through our Moon? You can beg to differ with me if you want. Astro experts jump in please.

myself i think it is important.
but i think it also depends on
what the sign the moon is in to
indicate the depth of connection.

for ex: i think scorpio sun conjunct
scorpio moon have a depth of connection like no other.

hope this makes sense

I think sun to moon aspects are pretty important...if that helps. If someone grates on your nerves...then most likely there's harsh sun to moon contact or harsh moon to moon. The sun and moon are very important parts of our personalities so yes, its very important in synastry for "like" or "dislike".

I think it's very important! And I agree with you that at times it seems 'more important' than our Venus signs. Venus is more what and how we attract when first getting to know someone, and the Moon is what we desire in a partner and what makes us feel comforted.

I can't really say that I show my moon more than my venus sign *because they're both in Scorpio* .... But I have seen many instances where someone is more like their moon in relationships. My boyfriend for example, has a Cancer moon/Aqua venus...and he's definitely the typical Cancer....I've never really seen the Aqua in him, except that he's had the same group of friends forever. He's very loving, attentitive, affectionate, and nurturing, like a true Cancer. But his Venus is in the 4th house, making him even more like a Cancer!

I also think that having harminous moon/moon and moon/sun contacts are very important. Even if the moon signs aren't tight enough in orb to form a conjunction, trine, sextile, etc... it's very helpful to have them in a compatible sign.

Yes, that's what I was getting at... compatible Moons or Sun/Moon combo. Without that sympatico going on there is really nothing. Some people 'think' or 'feel' depending on their Moon sign. That's what bugs other Sun air signs about me is that I feel my way through situations. I think it's pretty interesting how in ancient Egypt the Egyptians placed alot of value on the heart of a person. They considered it the 'center' of the person. Though someone said that the heart was ruled by the Sun? It really should be Moon rules heart

Seeing a relationship is in a sense bringing another person into your inner world, and your inner world is foremost represented by the moon, yes, it's very important.

Venus represents a lot of things that come before the relationship to help start it and things that helps sustain (or weaken) a relationship down the long run. For example, Venus indicates initial attraction, a smoothness of interaction, success of joint endeavors, and shared tastes and interests. It also indicates reciprocity - a partner's capacity to return your love, affections and devotion - as well as the "ambiance" between the partners that sets the tone and mood of how they love one another. However, Venus itself, on its own, doesn't actually represent the action of loving or virtue of love - to love another person ultimately is in our choices, not in our charts. Venus only tells us simply how we love when we choose to love. That's why you can have people with good Venus contacts yet the love simply isn't there.

Sun and Moon contacts are a little more certain in terms of whether a person will love another than Venus. That is because as humans, we are more incline to love that which makes us *feel good* than what we are attaracted to. And what makes our Sun and Moon feel good, makes us feel good.

GN or anyone else--

I have a "friend" with a Taurus sun that conjuncts my Taurus moon with in 2 degrees. I am a Pisces sun and I believe he has a Scorpio moon, but do not know his birth time-

Would this Sun-Moon conj explain why we just can not seem to get eachother out of our thoughts and have a deep, profound connection that transcends time (and miles!) and I KNOW we have extreamly deep past life connection as well, I just FEEL it!

This is interesting.... but I have a question...

What if the sun/moon dosen't make any aspects but the moons (in a synastry) forms a trine?


In Example

What if Person A has a

Libra Sun 2 degrees
Taurus Moon 18 degrees

And Person B has....

Gemini Sun 14 degree
Virgo Moon 15 degrees

So the only aspects they have between their sun and moon is....
Moon trine Moon

Thanks in advance!!!

i think the moon is sooooooooo important - two emotions coming together to form a synastry of one - it's the one's emotions with the other, with themselves and then it's the emotion you display as a couple

i believe it's one of the most intricate parts of a relationship. i think the moon is more protective of a person than the sun, venus, and ascendant.

Interesting!

So do you think a couple will brake up if their moons don't make an aspect?

Example:

Person A's Moon is in
Cap. 7 degrees

Person B's Moon is in
Aqua. 8 degrees

I think it is.

I have a Taurus Moon and so does my boyfriend. Not close enough to be conjunct but I am sure the energies are still there.

Our emotions are a lot alike in many ways.

We tend to feel the same emotions at the same time.


I love it.

IamLove,

They wouldn't brake up for that reason alone.. but if none of the top three (sun/moon/asc) made any major aspect to the others' top three, the likelihood of braking up (or simply drifting apart) would be higher. Usually in long term relationships there is a conjunction. I did synastries for mum/grandparents/dad/aunties & uncles and family friends who have stayed together a long while. There's always a conjunction there. Sometimes it was Sun conjunct Ascendant or Moon conjunct Moon or Sun conjunct Moon or Sun conjunct Sun. Basically any combination (if conjunct) helps a great deal in keeping people together.

Also, these conjunctions weren't always close. One person's Sun was at 18 Cancer and the other person's Moon was at 5 Cancer. When it comes to sun/moon/asc, because they have such a major influence on personality either way.. I think aspects by sign do count. The person with a Cancer Moon will act as a Cancerian Moon regardless of the degree and so would the person with a Cancer Sun. The connection would be stronger if closely conjunct, but if not they would nonetheless be simpatico and supportive of each other.

About the moon alone, in synastry. I think it’s very important. There was a guy who had Venus/Mercury in Aries (conjunct my Sun) but square my Moon (Capricorn). There were times when I couldn’t stand him and the Moon factor affected me more than the positive conjunction to my Sun. I also had the situation vice versa when a friend’s Mercury was conjunct my Moon and square my Sun.. There was *no* comparison.. much better communication and understanding. But I’m a girl.. some astrologers say women feel closer to their Moon sign and men feel closer to their Sun.

I also believe the sun sign is important regardless of the orb. My lover and I are both pisces but 11 degrees apart, but as we are both pisces we still really 'get' one another.

We also have conjunct leo moons which I really love, my moon conjunct my exes leo sun and it was too much, but I love the conjunct 'emotions'.

My moon trines his aries venus and mars as well so emotionally I'm attracted to him in a lot of ways. His sun conjuncts my venus which has gotta help the attraction too!

But the moon/moon thing I'm coming to realise is so important, especially after reading others experiences. I think it gets overlooked a lot in synastry but what could be more important in a deep relationship than emotional compatability?

I also had a Moon/Moon conjunction with my ex and we're still good friends so I totally agree with the Moon thing. One thing I noticed though is that we went through feelings at the same time and it got a bit too emotional for me sometimes. In my next relationship I want a bit more space and fun. I love earth Moons but there's still something about fire Moons (unfortunately I don't know many) that makes me happier.

Yes, moon contacts are important as are other factors...to me, it is the whole 'look' and 'feel' of the synastry chart that matters.

A guy who had their moon sextile my sun (by a 1 degree orb) still managed to 'grate' my nerves (other interaspects explained why)... another one, his moon made a close conjunction to my sun (I found him to be way too needy and emotionally dependant on me...not good...other aspects only added to his 'needyness'...eh). I can see why sun-moon interaspects are so 'highly-touted' but I have found that overall it is not really what it's cracked out to be...that and a little thing called, 'free will'.

So, yeah on to it...overall I look at all synastry interaspects.

However, the moon is important (no denying that)...emotional affinity, emotional compatibility is very important in a 'real'; intimate relationship between two individuals.

As are Sun, Venus, Mercury, Mars, Saturn, and ummm all the other planets...plus, house overlays, declinations, and ummm who can forget the asteroids and the composite chart...

Inner-aspects from the Sun and Moon are of course an important part of the mainframe of a relationship but equally (and sometimes more) important is the aspect between the two rulers of the Ascendant.
This is a most important connection.
It doesn't matter if the aspect is hard or minor.

Look at the people you are connected to.
What inner-aspect does your Rulers make to each other? It can be anyone, not just your bf/gf, a favorite friend even.
If you have trouble speak up.

lalalinda, do you mean that if my ascendant is Sag and my bf's is Aries, then we should look at aspects between both of our Jupiter and Mars? Or just my Jupiter and his Mars?

In my case, my Jupiter is in Aries. Which is then the same sign as his ascendant and moon.

His Jupiter is in Scorpio - the same sign as my moon and Uranus (they are conjunct).

My Mars is in Pisces... his is in Aquarius... he has nothing in Pisces, I have nothing in Aquarius.

So with Jupiter making more aspects thatn Mars, does that mean that the relationship feels more important to me than it does to him? Then again he also has Saturn at 29 degrees Taurus, which I read means that his relationship to me feels very serious and highly karmic.

lets see if I have this straight
you are a Sag rising with Jupiter in Aries and your bf is an Aries Ascendant with Mars in Aquarius
Is that right Sweetie?

This is a good connection, it makes the sextile with supportive aspects from both Moons.

Ok now who feels it more (personally)
look at whos planets are falling into the 1st and 7th house of the other.

hope this isn't confusing, if it is let me know and I'll try to clarify.

My rising is also Sag and it's ruler Jupiter is in Virgo in the 10th. My current dating partner has either a Virgo or Libra ascendant, Venus and Mercury are conjunct in Aquarius in the 4th. That is the opposite of my ruler.

he is more stay at home and family oriented than I am, which irks me sometimes but it's good for my relationships. So far I am healthier and happier than I was but that could be because I like changing things up.

Hey lala- Just wondering....so if someone's sun, moon, and/or venus are falling into the 1st house of another....the 1st house person will feel the attraction more?

And I'm a Sag rising, my BF is a Scorpio rising....So would I look at what aspects MY Jupiter makes to his planets and where his Pluto makes aspects to my planets? I'm confused, sorry.
