In synastry it is somewhat fruitless to look at good connections. If the inherent proclivity is to a lack of communications present in the natal, oftentimes this lack of communication will be centered on the native.

Uranus as the higher octave might also be a consideration.

Then,see how the energies will combine in sinastry.

For example i have my Mercury in my 12th house - which by itself makes me a secretive person and wnehever i try to be understood and comunicate with others,in someway there´s a huge dificulty for them to know me and perceive me as an individual.
Fortunatelly, it makes onl~y good aspects with my planets : sextile jup/uranus and trine Moon.

My Bf for example has his Merc in Libra in his 3rd house - conj his sun and Psyche and trine his Moon - so he is a person expresses himself very openly and he is very outgoin and easily "perceived".

Now,let us see how our energies would work together.

- we share a venus/mercury conjunction
- sun/mercury conjunction
- sun/kiron double trine ( understanding linkage)
- my mercury sextile his AC - his Mercury conj my AC(0º)

His Mercury trines my Moon (Leo/Sag)
My Mercury does not make an aspect to his Moon (Sag/Scorpio)

In synastry, we have Mercury-Mercury, and mutual Moon-Mercury, Mercury-Uranus, and Mercury-Saturn aspects. Also, his Moon is in my 3rd house, and my Mercury & Uranus conjunct his 9th house cusp. In our composite, we have a Mercury-Venus-Sun conjunction.

Like Node and Diandra said, synastry connections need to be looked at in context. To know how two people will relate mentally (or in any other way), first understand each person's natal chart. See how important that part of himself is to him, and how he expresses it. The natal chart could tell you what style of communication will keep someone interested. Then, you can see if the partner complements him.

Looking at our natal charts, I can tell why our synastry works for us. The other planets Mercury aspects in synastry (Moon, Uranus, Saturn) are planets we both have Mercury aspects with in our natal charts. So talking to him is as effortless as talking to myself and much more interesting.

I recently noticed that all except a couple of my closest friends have a natal Mercury-Uranus aspect. The quickest way I feel bonded with someone is if I feel that electrifying mental chemistry with them. Even before my SO and I became a couple, a lot of people thought we were involved and I think that chemistry between us had a lot to do with it; people could see how we light each other up. Talking with him is often like pouring an espresso shot directly on my brain. Besides being stimulating, conversations with him are also freeing and creative, a communication style we both need to stay interested.

It also may take him some time to think about what you've said before he knows what he thinks and feels about your comments, while your thoughts and feelings are probably more fused since you have your Moon and Mercury in the same sign (conjunct?). Your emotional and mental fusion makes it easier to absorb his words, while he needs some time to absorb yours.

His Mercury trine your Moon may also make you so comfortable with him that you do say some pretty off the
wall things to him. Then the vulnerability that accompanies being open may make you more sensitive to his looks, perceiving them to mean that he isn't deeply connecting with what you're saying, when that may or may not be the case. If he does have a Moon-Mercury square natally, I've read that makes people a little kooky themselves, so he may be enjoying that you throw him for a loop. http://www.cafeastrology.com/natal/moonmercuryaspects.html

Mercury conjunct Mercury-Uranus (mutual)
Merc sextile Saturn (mutual)
His Moon opp my Mercury (exact) and Uranus
My Moon square his Uranus (exact) and Mercury
His Moon in my 7th house
My Moon exactly conj his DSC

He was born only a week before me, so we of course have the same Mercury aspects to outer planets natally and then repeat those in synastry. But what I found interesting was the way both of our Moons form exact aspects in synastry with Mercury or Uranus and fall in the other's 7th house.

I also looked at the synastry with another best friend of mine, met her when I was 9. She's my mind twin. Very strong connection, mentally & emotionally, total empathy.
We have:

My ASC conjunct her Mercury
My Mercury conjunct her Uranus-Sun
My Sun widely conjunct her Moon

I like Uranus.

My natal chart:

Sun conjunct Mercury
Mercury conjunct Uranus
Mercury conjunct Neptune

His natal chart:

Mercury trine Uranus
Mercury square Pluto

Our synastry:

Mercury (mine) conjunct Neptune (his)
Mercury (mine) sextile Pluto (his)..this aspect is within .02 orb, the tightest orb in our synastry besides our Mars-Venus trine which is also .02

Also, his Jupiter falls in my third house, and his Mercury falls in my tenth...

I've read that a Moon-Mercury square can make someone very animated during conversations.

Definitely! He is very animated with facial expressions and especially his hands. However, his voice/way of speaking is very calm, solid, and articulate.

Again, you're dead on..I do feel like it's "ok" for me to express my weird thoughts to him, but it DOES make me feel self-conscious after I say it. I dwell on whether or not he thinks I'm a freak. But he IS pretty kooky himself..and he has mentioned that he likes the bizarre. This still confuses me with his reactions sometimes. They're either sweet smiles/giggles or raised eyebrows and a big "WTF?" look in his eye

Another interesting thing about this is that when we are TOGETHER, we talk about so many things ..the first time we met and talked we talked about everything from how to make prison hooch to sex imagery in Disney movies to Lindsay Lohan to paranoid schizophrenia. When we are together all my sexual/romantic interest in him (which is insanely STRONG) is almost masked by my absolute fascination with him, intellectually. I find it very, very easy to look him in the eye when he talks to me. Usually I have a hard time looking people in the eye when they talk to me.
