Mine is Gemini - and all I CAN say about THAT is that I really only find friendships in Geminis. And the men that I am romantically involved with or interested in DON'T have Gemini in their chart anywhere significant.

My descendant also in pisces.. I have funny relationships with them..

lol as Mr. Bond would say "close, but no cigar" I have felt a pretty good attraction to a few Pisces women.. nothing ever really amounts though.. Im not sure why.. I am an emotional guy I have depth.. maybe I wasnt far enough on the karma ladder of the signs to be with them.. hah.. which I think is a load of sh*t. I think the later signs could learn a thing or two from the early ones.. most of the worst people I have known are those of the 2nd half of the zodiac wheel.. well I guess I cant say that.. all are bad.. maybe I just need to find some good people. heh..

well i don't really have a great understanding of it since the guy i'm interesting has his gemini ascendant (and moon) conjunct my descendant by 7 (and 4) degrees.. BUT is the first gemini-heavy person i have known.. and as far as i know, been attracted to. but for me, MAN is it ever intense.

i am just curious cuz i've heard you can tend to be like your descendant when in a relationship and this guy is the antithesis to direct (what i consider sag), which is his descendant. so here's to hoping it's at least an attraction thing!! i'm quite direct and he's a cancer and i know that's a big part of it (as well as the gemini) and try as i might i just can't stop spilling the beans with him!! so i'm hoping he at least LIKES it.

However, it's been my personal experience that the placement of the ruler of the Descendant plays a major role as well. Like I mentioned, I have Pisces rising and the ruler of my Descendant is in Sagittarius conjunct Jupiter, trine my 6th house Leo Moon and sextile my Libra Venus in the 7th. Now, my SO has Sag rising with a stellium in Virgo and Moon in the 4th.

My SO on the other hand seems to find himself more attracted to girls (and friends) carrying the Sagittarian traits (his Ascendant). The ruler of his Descendant is in Sag conjunct Neptune, square Mars and Jupiter in Virgo and square his Pisces Moon. Now, I am a Sag with Pisces rising and Moon in the 6th.

I too have a Taurus DC, but it's not so much the sun sign that I want, as it is what FEELING or QUALITY I want in a relationship. I think that, because it is the DC in an individual's chart, it is that individual's PROJECTION of what they want in a relationship, not so much what qualities the other person actually possesses.

For instance, I have a Taurus DC, and I very much want stability (financial, emotional, and otherwise) in a close relationship. I actually like Tauruses ok, but I'm not majorly attracted to them. However, what I do want is a person who can provide a feeling of stability when in a relationship with me. Does that make sense?

On a side note-

Ericka..that's interesting that your DESC is also Taurus and you don't like Taurus men..you even say 'yucko'..I can relate to that feeling!! Do you happen to find yourself going after Scorp-influenced men more?

Also, someone can reflect your "7th-house-needs" in other ways than just having his or her Sun there.

Example:
I have a Gemini DC, with Mercury in Sagittarius in 1st house exactly conjunct Sun.

I have never fallen for Gemini-men, but I am completely drawn to men who are intelligent, charming and witty, with something boyish about them, but who are also very selfconfident and kinda philosophical.
Also, I like a certain "intellectual aggressiveness", you know men who are playful and teasing and yet challenge me to think in different ways. And I look some good discussions and humour.

The men I have felt attracted to, had always something in Aries (Sun or Moon, preferably) and also Sun conjunct Mercury or Mars in strong aspect to MErcury, or even the ASC in aspect to Mercury, and most of them had Mercury in 1st house.

Interestingly, I don`t really fall for placements in Gemini. Strange, isn`t it?

Hmm..if you put it that way, I guess I could relate...I want a physical relationship with a sensual, down-to-earth person. I guess that would fall under Taurus traits?

Not every person with a Virgo Ascendant is going to go after a Pisces. Not every Scorpio rising is going to "jones" after a Taurus.

Look to the ruler of the DC, the sign it's in, house, and aspects it makes to other planets in the chart to determine what kind of partners we attract and are attracted to.

The DC is a number of things. Think of it as the exact opposite of the ascendant. If the ascendant in its most general form is the ME, how I see myself, how I project myself into the world....the DC by nature is going to be how you see others, how you view, develop, and to an extent behave in relationships. Therefore, the DC being associated with Libra, as its natural ruler, can give a very basic idea of what kind of partners that we may be interested in. This isn't because we "like" them or "don't like" them. It's more like an opposites attract theory.

If you have an Aries rising, you may attract Libra-like individuals. Libras possess the ability and tendency to embrace the art of REACTION rather than action, to think as an US instead of a ME or YOU. A trait that that the sign Aries "lacks". It's like the Libra completes a void for Aries, and vice versa. Aries teaches Libra about stepping up and taking action, and being independent.

Also, if you have a particular sign on the DC it doesn't mean you'll end up with that sign...

For Example..

I have Gemini on my DC. Generally, I see other people as curious, nosy, busy-bodied creatures..who don't care as much about the true meaning behind their knowledge, and who fuss over small details that don't matter....that don't connect to a larger picture.

Are all Geminis like this? No. Are all people like this? No. But It's how I view people, because through my Sagittarius Rising point of vision, everything means something and theres a greater meaning behind everything.

My behavior in relationships? Restless. I don't have commitment issues but the natural Mercurial curiosity always gets the best of me. I always find myself thinking, I love/really like this guy, but what if that guys better? I wonder what it'd be like to date that guy? Or that one? Or that one? I'm so "curious" that I like to keep "window shopping" when tied down with someone...otherwise I get bored and evacuate quickly. (Unless, the person satisfies my need for constant mental stimulation).

Also, I've never actually dated a Gemini.
However, my longest relationship was with a Sagittarius. He had 5 planets in the 3rd house.

My Mercury (7th ruler) is in Scorpio. He had a very strong Mars-Pluto conjunction in Scorpio. Every man I've attracted/dated has had significant Scorpio/Pluto/8th house in their chart.

My Mercury is conjunct Venus. Every relationship I've had has been with a Libra rising, or someone with the Sun in Taurus.

Lastly, Mercury sits in my 12th house. Every man I've been with has had strong Neptune. From Pisces Sun through Neptune aspecting their Ascendant/Sun/Moon, through prominent 12th house influence.

Shop around your chart before you make conclusions, you may find more than you think.

well yes that is why i wanted to ask about this, since it is often so vaguely referred to. your perspective makes this vagueness more understandable. thanks!

If 1st house = me, then I picture myself, literally. I picture how I act, how I dress, how I look, how I feel, think, etc. I basically correlate it to the most physical "self" in the sense of the word.

The "reflection" or direct opposite of me, would be my "vision". How I see things. Think of yourself as just looking out at other people. If the AC is what youre all about, and the DC is the opposite of it, then whatever sign is on the DC is going to reflect how you see other people, and what YOU feel (cuz the angles are still personal) they're all about in general.

Same can be applied to the IC/MC axis.

I think generally, our matter of perception would be that people need to incorporate more meaning in their lives and search for deeper truths and significance in their pursuits. However, also being that the all the angles are reflective, the idea of projection/attraction plays an important part. Personally, I feel every sign has a lesson to teach to its opposite, that's why we're so drawn to people who are the complete opposite of ourselves (astrologically). Therefore, almost naturally....you draw people to you who operate on a completely different spectrum. A person who doesn't care for details and sees the BIG picture, will attract someone who will take their eyes away from the big picture to figure out how everything works. On the flip side, someone who knows how everything fits together and works, will attract someone who will take them away from the minuscule details to help them understand WHY it works.
