I had a psyches and eros report done for me and my husband, and it's my portion of the chart that I'm not understanding such as my "Sun does not aspect my Asc" and "Moon does not aspect Mercury."

Can someone please explain to me what it means when something doesn't aspect the other?

If one's Asc is at 15 Virgo and one's Sun is at 26 Gemini they do not make any major aspects (not counting any biquintiles or triseptiles or noviles or other minor aspects here ) -- ie, they are not within orb of being conjunct, sextile, square, trine, quincunx or opposed.

If one's Moon is at 2 Cancer and one's Merc is at 17 Scorpio, it is too wide for a trine (120 degrees) and not enough for a quincunx (150 degrees) or opposition (180 degrees) but is just right for a sesquiquadrate (135 degrees) -- part of the Squares family -- a square (90 degrees) plus a semisquare (45 degrees).....

Acoustic, I'm just trying to wrap my brain around the "no aspect" bit so I guess I am asking for a bit of an interpretation. I can't find one at all online and none in any of the books I have either. Like my "sun (Aquarius) doesn't aspect my Ascendant (Taurus)" and my "moon (Virgo) doesn't aspect Mercury (Aquarius)."

If there is no aspect, then whoever started these observations thousands of years ago probably didn't take notice. Even if they had taken notice, to give an interpretation would have required them paying particular attention to whatever aspect (whatever particular amount of degrees of separation) your Sun is making to your Ascendant, and noting what the common threads are.

There are things people can tell you about your non-aspect, though. For instance, by sign your Sun and Ascendant are Squared, which is usually a challenging aspect. However, because they are out of orb (either too far in excess of 90 degrees, or too deficient by degree to be considered square) your chart can incorporate these energies more harmoniously than the square would normally allow. Both of these signs being fixed means that both your inner nature (Sun), and your outward demeanor (Ascendant) have a fixed quality about them. At all times you may seem/appear to have a definite and stubborn (fixed) opinion on everything around you.

So to take it a bit further, because my Aquarius is naturally curious, and my Virgo Moon needs to understand things from a basic level upwards - the combination digs much deeper to understand things. LOL Hence this very question.
