Pix, if you were here, I'd just smile at you for what you said. Why can't everyone just be born in harmony with me? (I'm a rat [water], and I think it's the Dragon and Monkey that I'm supposed to get along best with). http://chinese.astrology.com/compat/ratdragon.html

Swerve: You sound a lot like me. Maybe I need a Pisces with a Gem Moon. I think this girl's got a Virgo Moon that isn't in conjunction with my own Virgo Moon, but is inconveniently opposite her Sun (less than 2 degrees).

I tried out your friend, though you didn't give time or place. I used 12:00 in Chicago. Got Virgo Sun and Cap Moon like you said, but his Moon is WAY out of conjunction with my Sun.

There were 8 contacts that were considered Relationship Challenges by my program (Squares). Not bad at all really. I've seen lots more.

There were 11 Key Connections (which don't have to necessarily be stellar). These are conjunctions and oppositions.

There were 15 Relationship Strengths. These connections aren't as strong as the 'Key' ones, but are still beneficial. (They're all Trines and Sextiles)

Bad idea, in my opinion.

I think I understand where that idea stems from, but just as a bad chart could color the relationship negatively from the start, couldn't a good chart color the relationship positively from the start?

Ever see the movie 'Shine,' about the Australian pianist (David Helfgott played by Geoffrey Rush) who grew up a prodigy at the hands of an abusive father? His eventual wife was/is an astrologer, and when she went and checked his chart out of curiosity she found that they had a good chart together. You don't get the impression that she was necessarily looking for love, but he seemed to thrive after their getting together.

A chance meeting with Gillian (Lynn Redgrave), a Sydney astrologer who is visiting Sylvia, develops into friendship, then unlikely romance. And, because Gillian's love is unconditional, free of expectations, envy, or competition, David's chaotic inner life and his undisciplined outer life gain stability for the first time. http://www.finelinefeatures.com/shine/about/synopsw.htm

give me more Love, or more disdain;
the torrid, or the frozen zone
bring equal ease unto my paine:
the temperate affords me none;
either extreme, of love or hate,
is sweeter than a calme estate

I think it's more of a gut thing. Had I met Mr. Leo and known he had a Pisces moon and Venus in Virgo, I may have shied away.

As it turns out, being with a Pisces moon man is wonderful. Can you imagine getting along so well with someone AND they understand your moods, feelings etc.... As strong as he is he has that underlying soft side. We don't fight, hell we hardly disagree because of how much alike we are and how well we talk. Nothing is perfect though and I have had charts with people where it looked GREAT.

One was an Aries / Taurus cusp (but technically Taurus) Sag Moon, Mercury in Aries, Neptune in Sag... In any case, we had 5 composite planets in the 7th house and all these wonderful trines. BUT.. no spark LOL... and it went nowhere.
