I've had an interest in astrology for many years and have studied it off and on since I was in high school (many years ago). I've recently started trying to learn more about synastry, particularly as showing karmic ties, and also trying to learn more about Chiron, Juno, Eros, etc. My sources so far have been rather limited. I'm currently living in a tiny rural mountain village in Japan, so I'm having to rely on the Internet for my research.

The reason why I've started trying to learn more is that there is someone that I've known for going on two years now that from the moment I first saw him, before we even met, I felt a strong bond to. I have had such a strong sense that we're connected from past lives, that I thought I'd see what, if anything, in our charts might serve to confirm my feelings. I've been trying to look at the synastry of our charts (although we don't know his birthtime, so it's a bit incomplete.) Anyway, I came across some things that seem to me like they might be significant (if only because of how intertwined some of them seem to be), but would like the opinions of people more knowledgeable than I am. Please tell me what you think, even if it's not in the sense of karmic ties. Also, if there are other planets/aspects you think I should look at for any reason, please say so.

(BTW, I'm a Leo on the Cancer Cusp, Pisces Ascendant, Scorpio Moon; He's a Pisces on the Aquarius Cusp, Capricorn Moon. (His Sun Conjuncts my Ascendant, In case you were wondering...))

Okay, it may get a little confusing, but here goes...

My Venus in very early Cancer in my Fourth House Trine his Pluto in very late Libra in my Eighth House

His Venus and Moon in Capricorn in my Eleventh House Trine my Pluto in Virgo in my Seventh House

My Pluto in Virgo in my Seventh House Trine his Chiron in Taurus in my Second House (This and the above aspect make for a Grand Trine, if I'm not mistaken.)

His Chiron in Taurus in my Second House Conjunct my North Node in Taurus in my Second House

His Chiron in Taurus in my Second House Oppose my Moon, Neptune and South Node all in Conjunction with each other in Scorpio in my Eighth House

His Saturn in Libra in my Seventh House Trine my Juno in Gemini in my Fourth House

My Moon, Neptune and South Node in Scorpio in my Eighth House Trine His North Node Conjunct my Jupiter (which in turn Conjuncts my Mars) in Cancer in my Fifth House

His North Node in Cancer in my Fifth House Trine my Saturn and Chiron in Pisces in my First House (another Grand Trine, I think.)

My Chiron in Pisces in my First House Sextile his South Node in Capricorn in my Eleventh House

My Saturn in Pisces in my First House Square his Juno and Neptune in Conjunction in Sagittarius in my Tenth House

...and since there's a bit of Moon activity in a few of these, I'll add in:

His Moon in Capricorn in my Eleventh House Sextiles my Moon in Scorpio in my Eighth House

Oh! We both were born during Saturn Retrogrades, if that needs to be taken into account as well...

(These are all according the chart and tables that I got from the Extended Charts on astro.com.)

Of course, there are many other aspects, but I've tried to stick primarily with ones that I understand _might_ possibly indicate karmic connections.

Thank you, _thank you_ for your patience with me and your help with this! ^_^
