First of all, a disclaimer:This is very much a generalization. By only comparing sun sign, obviously it's not completely accurate or too in depth of an idea. I say this because I don't want this to turn ito a "oh, that's not fair, you have to consider every other aspect in synastry for it to matter" negative thread. I am just exploring an idea I had. The idea is this: Do couples with the same sun sign become complacent as they are "similar", and will not nessecarily teach each other anything in the relationship? I mean, do you think that when you are a Pisces, dating a Pisces, (or any other signs, just an example) are you already so understanding of each other that there is no compromise, no confilct, thus no learing process that you may perhaps have benefited from if you were to be in a relationship with a Virgo, and deal with having to understand an aspect of yourself that you should? I just wonder if anyone has any thoughts on that. Linda says we can learn from everyone, that there are lessons that the sign in front of yours has learned, and being in their lives, you will begin to learn as well. Any thoughts? IP: Logged |

Great point! Sometimes, I think you're absolutely right - I mean, if that's the case then I'm doubly unlucky, because me and my OH are both Taureans and extraordinarily lazy ones at that! Complacency takes on a whole new meaning with us two!!! But then I look back on all the years we've spent together and pretty much reject that notion. Mr Bull, has been one of my greatest teachers and I'd like to think I've been that for him too. And hopefully, neither of us will ever graduate from our own personal college, if you know what I mean!!! I also think, that as long as there's a mixture of other signs in both charts then there'll be enough variety to get by with, for example my partner and I both have 3 planets in Taurus, but we have different moon signs/ascendants/etc - there's plenty to clash over, I can tell you!!!

I think what happens w/ the same sun sign is that you tend to reflect back at each other both the best and worst qualities of your own sign. I think that's an opportunity to grow because you're given an intimate glimpse into what it's like to be on the receiving end of yourself in many ways.

Good point, Isis. I was kicking that idea around because the guy I'm seeing (Cancer sun) lives with two other water signs (Scorpio and his Pisces girlfriend). I have noticed a tendency for them to not be able to get to the point of things sometimes and discuss matters, as they float through emotions and just cry, yell, or be silent. Nothing is ever really brought to the forefront and dealt with, they are all too afraid to hurt each other, in my eyes. It got me thinking... tgc, "complacency takes on a while new meaning with us two!!!" I'm glad you two make it work! How loverly!! IP: Logged |

I think harmony is sometimes over-rated. IP: Logged |

That boy is sex. Have you seen him in the Tudors? What it lacks in historical accuracy it makes up for with him looking like a ride and Jeremy Northram's excellent performance as Thomas More. Harmony is overrated, too right. Great article here on why 'bad' synastry isn't bad: http://users.netonecom.net/~sos/Synastry.htm IP: Logged |

I've only just started reading the article you posted, and already I'm struck by a line:"The prime significators of the wife in a man's chart are Venus and the Moon. In a woman's chart, the prime significators of the husband are the Sun and Mars." My girlfriend and I don't have the greatest synastry, but things seem to work pretty well. That's why I wanted to read your article. My Venus is in my girlfriend's Sun sign, and my Moon is in Virgo, which she has two planets in. My girlfriend's Sun is in Sag, which I have three planets in, and her Mars is in Capricorn, which is my Sun sign. We're off to a good start. IP: Logged | |
