I was wondering if anyone could tell me what is more important for compatibility and harmony in a relationship: Aspects to the moon, or aspects to the sun/moon midpoint?

I've read that positive moon-moon aspects are essential for harmoniously living together day to day, but what about sun/moon midpoints aspecting major planets? Would this have the same harmonious effect?

Is it better to have a positive aspect btwn the sun and moon in synastry, or a hard aspect btwn the sun/moon midpoint and a personal planet?

Do any of these aspects provide longevity or is that strictly a saturn thing?

Any input would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much!

I think it depends on the natal. For me, my moon is kind of a loner except for two squares that it receives at wider orbs.

I often have had relationships and friendships with people whose planets square my moon and it doesn't seem to be "hurtful" to me. I rarely have relationships with strong positive moon aspects, I assume for this reason. It probably feels uncomfortable or foreign to me.

On the other hand, I haven't had a whole lot of sun/moon midpoint action either.

My current "Karmic friend's" moon squares my moon, but his Merc conjuncts it. I think he contacts my Sun/Moon mp as well, although I can't rem how at the moment.

The question of Sun/Moon midpoint versus aspects to the Moon, well I don't know but I always like to see well-aspected Moons in synastry - not really to each other particularly, just in general. But as 8th above says, it depends on the chart what will feel best.
