You have to click the chart 2-3 times to get it full size. If somebody could clear this up I'd appreciate it.

And Happy belated Birthday to you.

You are correct that you are seeing Moon conjunct Mars in the synastry. This is where you get to have an ego and trust yourself as an astrologer against all the computer generated reports, etc. Those reports make mistakes all the time. It's the same with some of the charts they calculate.

I'm no math wizard myself but when I'm desperate to see how things work astrologically, I tend to spend extra time fine tuning the measurements.

I use Astro.com a great majority of the time but even they tend to miss some important aspects, especially in synastry charts. My suggestion to you is to actually DRAW the chart out on a piece of paper and write the degree numbers next to the planet symbols, then you will put the other persons planets on the same chart but in a different color ink or pencil (whichever you prefer) then you draw your own lines and you'll see what the computers are missing.

I know it sounds like a lot of work, but you may find yourself really getting into it because it starts to feel organic and you may actually feel the energy of the relationship under your hands. It's kind of like being a lawyer and only trusting yourself to get the details of your presentation correct.

Then you really start to feel totally KICK-A$$!!!

I know you can do it. You've got the passion and the brains, girl!!

I know it's about degrees but I thought if two were side by side or practically touching that was a conjuction

Yes, that's true.

but in this synastry chart Mars and Moon are like that and all the auto chart calculators call it a square.

There is no square between any Mars and any Moon in that chart. Your Moon is conjunct his Mars. His Moon is roughly opposite your Mars.

That has me really confused because they also say we've got sun conjunct moon.

---

Yeah, only he has Sun conjunct Moon. You guys don't have that aspect in synastry.

How do you do this, just eyeball it or do you use a protractor?
