Has anyone ever had a relationship where the man's moon conjuncts the woman's sun. If so, how did the relationship carry out? I've read that sun/moon conjunctions are good for marriage. Does any marriage partners' on this post have that synastry aspect.

Hello TMiller! My parents happen to have the aspect you mentioned. My father is a Virgo with a Pisces Moon and my mom is a Pisces (with an Aries Moon).I made their synastry chart by hand, and found out that aside from my father's Moon conjuncting my mother's Sun, they have another "soul mate" aspect like Venus conjunct/sextile/trine Pluto (in their case it was a sextile and a conjunct, whether A-B or B-A). And of course theirs is a case of a solar Virgo-Pisces opposition, which signals mutual attraction.

My parents have been married for 38 years now and still going on strong, despite some marked differences and some loud fights every now and then. They have raised us to be good people and have shown by example that some things still last in this world of impermanence and instability.

The conjunction of the Sun and the Moon in synastry is a powerful connection. How it plays out will have much to do with the condition of these luminaries in the individual charts. Attraction to one another is usually there regardless, perhaps felt most by the Moon person initially. As a relationship develops between the two, a dynamic inevitably emerges in which the Moon person plays a supportive role (sometimes a dependent or submissive role) to the Sun person, who tends to lead the relationship in some manner.

A note should be made about gender and whose Moon and whose Sun is involved. Although both ways is powerful, in some cases when the man's Moon conjuncts the woman's Sun, problems arise. This happens when the man feels uncomfortable in his role as the moody, sympathetic, and somewhat dependent Moon -- a role that he might assign to women. In this day and age, however, either male or female playing the role of the Moon to the Sun may feel some kind of resentment over time. Just as the Moon reflects the Sun's light, the Moon person is naturally inclined to play a supportive and sometimes submissive role to the Sun. It doesn't need to be submissive--instead, it can be considered supportive. How comfortable the Moon person is with this role is critical. In the same vein, the Sun person's comfort levels with playing the role of the Sun should be considered as well. Not everyone wants to be the leader in a relationship!
