For example, I have venus unaspected in my chart and when something touches it through transit or aspect then it really is felt in some way. Of course, you don't need an unaspected planet for it to happen.

Another example, I have a t-square. If someone else's planet has some sort of relationship with my t-square (eg conjuncts, opposes, trines etc one of those planets) then it will activate the t-square in some way.

Thanks 23 for your reply.
But not everybody seem to be having the sme kind of activation. For ex. if you are a Leo, it means that your sun is in Leo and there must be a lot of people with the same position. So when venus moves into Leo and over your Sun do you have good luck in love/money? And do all Leos have the same luck at the same time? How do I decide that my planet is activated on not by looking at a transit chart?

Well no, it depends a lot on other parts of the chart. For example, there might be other planets in the chart that might get activated by the same thing or other things and at the same time and it might have a greater impact on you. Depends on aspects to your leo sun, where it is, what house it is in etc. These all affect the activation differently. So for example a leo with t-venus conj in 5th will experience it differently to one in the 11th - one might be more appealing in love affairs, the other more socially appealing. Also a later leo will experience it at a later time than an earlier leo. That's why newspaper astrology might be a bit wrong for some, where what happens is right but the timing is wrong. Likewise, for example if you have leo sun opposed mars and another has leo trine mars, the activation will be different...

Then also there is progressions to worry about as well, and that is very age dependent. So what I am saying is that is astrology is complicated and there are so many things when it come to activations, not all are the same. A detailed examination of the chart is required to see how it occurs.

Hi 23,
I thank you for your patience. You are a great teacher.
One more Qs, so for synastry would it be more relevant to compare progressed charts between people? Will the factors in the progressed chart indicate events of the future more accurately than natal charts?
I was studying 2 charts- the natal charts between these two people showed the guys sun in the girl's chart. in the progressed chart the situation is reversed. They have venus opp mars in natal synastry, but venus conj mars in progressed synastry.
What does it mean?
Confused student.

Well some people do progressed, others do natal synastry. Progressed chart is something in motion and may represent something that is accurate for the present, but the present changes you see, it become the future you see. What I am saying is that time and situations change and that is what that represents - we're in a constant state of flux. A natal chart is what we are born with and never changes. So I tend to do a bit of both myself. Natal chart will show in general how the parties interact in general, comparing progressed against progressed shows how they are interacting now. You can also look at natal of one v progressed of the other and vice-versa.

So in the case above, venus opp mars indicates sexual attraction with a bit of negotiable tension; this will always be present; its permanent. In the progressed, mars conj venus indicates an even heightened sexual attraction between them. A progression may have put them together, to start the love affair. Progressions can be used to determine when something that is latent/sleeping actually happens/blossoms. For example, I have mars conj my partner's venus but the affair did not start until his prog mars went into my natal 5th house and trined my natal venus. See, it pays to look at all the charts.

PS you can thank Darkdreamer for opening my eyes to this stuff

Also you can look at a composite chart, whether its two natals or two progressed to see the direction of the relationship, what issues there will be in the relationship.

7th house means house of partnership.. There was a thread recently about this and there is this compulsion of partnership when this occurs.

Guys venus in 4th means closeness, familiarity and familial in nature. I can't see how her mars can be in the 12th and be opp, do you mean 10th?
