I agree with LibraLove and Glaucus as well. One can have a beautiful synastry between person A and person B in terms of Sun or "Venus sign compatibility, only to find that there are harsh moon aspects or restrictive Saturn aspects.
My advice would be to print out or make a synastry grid and look at how the relationship is as a whole; don't forget to look at where the planets fall in each other's charts either."Exactly. Here is a perfect example.
A woman with Scorpio sunsign answered an ad that I put on craigslist. She told me that she has Sun in Scorpio and Ascendant in Virgo, and so she has the same sunsign and risin sign as me. I didn't take that for granted though. I knew that I had to take a look to see what planetary geometry is going on between our charts. I focus a lot more on aspects. I tend to be skeptical of zodiac sign placements. I mean...I don't like to focus on them primarily...especially if my Scorpio Sun could be different somebody's else Scorpio because her Sun is in the constellation of Libra, and mine is in the constellation of Virgo. I believe that the actual constellations have some influence on planets and signs.
also I don't trust tropical zodiac when it comes to Australians and New Zealanders as well as anybody else born in the Southern Hemisphere because tropical zodiac is a Northern Hemisphere season-based zodiac. Ptolemy adopted the tropical zodiac and he compared the zodiac signs to the seasons. However,he didn't know about the Southern Hemisphere. So how would these apply to the people in the Southern Hemisphere.
Those are things that I consider. Sometimes, I wonder if I should adopt a zodiac with the actual constellations which aren't an equal 30 degrees,and actually include Ophiuchus,Virgo as the largest constellation,and Scorpio as the smallest of them all by far.
I typed up my synastry analysis and emailed it to her.
here goes:
I looked at your chart
and saw how that it compares to mine
It seems a bit unstable
Your Uranus- Pluto( which is an aspect of intense change,reform) happens to be conjunct my Ascendant with your Uranus closely conjunct it,and so your energies of intensity,change merge with my persona.....that can be a very unstable,volatile combination for a relationship...especially with your Uranus-Pluto opposing my Descendant which is the relationship angle.
I see that you have your Ascendant in 2'59 Virgo. I have a close t-square of Moon in 3'10 Pisces in 6th square the opposition of retrograde Saturn in Geminin in 9th and Neptune in 1'47 Sagittarius in 3rd. That means that my emotional nature in the daily routine is in friction with the odds of structure,discipline in areas of expansion and idealism,inspiration in communications. Your Ascendant is caught up in that t-square by opposing my Moon,squaring my Saturn-Neptune opposition. so the Ascendant forms a grand cross with my t-square. This indicates a relationship with a lot of stress both externally and internally with the Saturn and Neptune it could be restrictions and confusion when in hard aspect. Your Ascendant is on my Saturn/Neptune midpoint in 3'28 Virgo...that even adds to it.
My Moon is on your Descendant which is a strong relationship aspect, but my Saturn-Neptune opposition squares that,and and so it would feel all that great. the Saturn-Neptune theme is about the fight between realism,structure and idealism,dissolution. Those would be major issues in the relationship. Saturn-Neptune has a theme of sacrifice and suffering too. Your Moon happens to be sesquiquadrate my Moon less than 1 degree, and that means that it aspects my Saturn/Neptune for my Moon oppose Saturn/Neptune midpoint with only 17 minutes of arc. So not only are our emotional natures in compatible with your Moon in Libra and my Moon in Pisces but your Moon is caught up in the t-square/midpoint picture of my Moon=Saturn/Neptune so even your emotional world can be caught up in the issues of my t-square. This is not good at all. All this together can feel unbearable. This is definitely a strong major warning sign of an incompatible couple.
My Uranus is conjunct your Moon,and that can indicate that I can have an unstable effect on your emotional nature.
You have a close opposition of Mars in Leo in opposition to Saturn in Aquarius which indicates that assertion,passion in self expression are at odds with structure,discipline when it comes to independence. My Mars happens to conjunct your Saturn and oppose your Mars. So my assertion,passion merges with your structure,discipline and is at odds with your assertion,passion. Mars-Mars oppositions tend to indicate the couple don't get a long. With your Saturn conjunct your Mars, I could feel angry with any restrictions. There can be frustration between us.
Your Sun squares my Lunar Nodes with 30 minutes of arc.
Close aspects to one's lunar nodes indicate a strong karmic connection...but with it being square your ego,self expression are in strong conflict with my present/past karma.
That can be problematic.
Your Venus conjuncts my Pluto,trines my Saturn,and sextiles my Neptune. That indicates that your love nature merges with my intensity/transformation,in harmony with my discipline/structure,and works with my inspiration/idealism. Your Venus is quincunx my Moon,and so your love nature is in strain with my emotional nature. I noticed that your Venus forms a yod with my Moon sextile Sedna for your Venus not only quincunxes my Moon,but it also quincunxes my Sedna. A yod is known to be a configuration of fate. Your Love nature is in strain with my "out of this world",remote(Sedna) emotional nature(Moon) which would require revision which unexpected events can call for. It can involve a change of direction.
I have Venus in Scorpio square Mars in Aquarius, and that indicates my intense love nature is in friction my independent assertion,passion. Your Jupiter in Taurus (which is expansive in stable,secure ways) opposes my Venus and squares my Jupiter for a t-square. This indicates that your expansion is at odds with my love nature and is in conflict with my physical energy. T-Squares tend to be signs of major issues in a relationship.
Yeah....this doesn't look like a synastry for romantic relationship. It indicates that there would be a lot of instability.
I also want to be honest with you that I do better with women that are younger than me.
but seeing our synastry (chart comparison) really confirmed my decision of that you and I are better off just as friends.
I looked at our composite chart too
It has Moon in Sagittarius square Uranus-Pluto in Virgo. This even adds to the emotional instability theme that shows strongly in the synastry.
I like the Moon sextile Venus-Ceres...that looks for a relationship, but the Moon square Uranus-Pluto just seems more significant. Squares are strong aspects than sextiles. Sun sextile Ascendant is good for expressing well in the relationship.
That synastry is a bit tough. Your Moon and Ascendant unfortunately are in stressful aspect to my Moon=Saturn/Neptune(t-square,midpoint picture), and that can feel too heavy,depressing,unstable,.....it's just not a good combo for a relationship. We're definitely better off with other people.
I didn't get a response from her after that. Even though I offered to give her a free reading.
hahahahah
but yeah. I don't believe in compatibility just my Sunsign nor any one placement nor even a couple of placements. I look at the chart as a whole. A wholistic approach is what I use to view charts. I feel that if I get involved with a woman, I don't want her aspecting my t-square in a hard way like both her Moon and Ascendant does.
I focus on planetary geometry a lot when it comes to synastry.
I tend to be a bit skeptical of zodiac sign placements,and so I focus more on actual aspects between the chart.

you are a very intense person, emotional and your venus & mars & mercury are all in your 4th house.. from my experience Cancer sun men are comfy w/ 4th house qualities and can provide the emotional stimulation a watery person like you needs..
