Synastry is tedious for me to read, though of course, it is always interesting. I often read by sensation and it doesn't feel like either of the ASCs are quite right. Red's feels its like 4-5 houses out, blue's feels like it is maybe 40mins or up to 1.5hrs out on the tob. Though of course, I could be wrong, but when I look at it, I get the sensation of considerable incorrectness.

So I guess looking at the synastry is the best, because I can often incorporate the correctness of the house orientation into reading the sensation off the symbols. Well, I think I can, but perhaps I'm deluded, lol

So yes, blue's Sun-Merc conjunction feels like it is in her 8th. Red's isn't quite as big an adjustment as I thought, I think I was counting some of blue's smaller houses into the shift instead of red's houses. I think red has Scorpio on the 5th and Sun in the late late 7th.

So key aspects just between the planets are,

red's Sun-Saturn opposition Sun-Merc of blue: There is a fiery attraction here, he's a bit shy though, seems too good to be true that she might be interested. She thinks he is super smart, I mean, she thought she was smart but he's weally thmart! and thnazzy too!

blue's Sun-Merc trine red's Moon: She gets annoyed with him, he's so pedantic, what a fusspot, she thinks, but she doesn't mind the quirkiness of him - sort of like he is a genius professor. He's a bit put off by her brashness, despite his Moon in Aries - she's a bit forward, he needs to warm up a bit before he lets his Moon get operational (his natal Uranus quincunx the Moon feels like he lives in a freezer emotionally until he warms to an idea/someone - I think he has a Gemini-Cancer ASC like 29*50 or so, I'm not sure if that would still allow Scorpio on the 5th etc)

Both Moons in Aries with ruling Mars' in fixed square and red's Nep in T-square, and blue's Moon trine red's Mars:
The Moons same sign are good but ruling Mars in fixed square makes it difficult/stiff to be really relax around one another - its difficult for them just to cosy up on the home front and do normal stuff because the sensation is that they have to be either having sex, or slapping at each other (though hopefully not) or running with or away from each other, they could even accidently tip coffee on each other - stuff like that. With Neptune there, there is a little of the therapist thing going on mutually - was red raised with a military life?, and he's got major unburdening that he wants to do about his feelings about his mother and possibly a sister - like he feels he could have improved things for them - he's a bit of a feminist, lol. Blue also gets a listening ear from red and some good insight - but for some reason it can detract from their connection - almost like you come to the end of therapy and you leave - grateful but not having a foothold to keep in contact much or have a relationship. Blue seems a bit demanding on the therapy stuff though, like there is nothing else that they can do together but get there teeth into each other.

blue's Venus tightly(ruling Mars) conjunct red's Pluto(ruling Nep in sext to b. venus) in opp to red's Jup: Sexually they are good together. He can get a bit troppo with all the sex though, as it takes him to a place that he gets a bit lost in and he feels like that the rice crackers that he's walking on for a floor might crumble and he could find himself in some sky with no ground (wow that is the exact sensation I have currently with Pluto going through my own 12th atm) So I would say they have a highly spiritual sexual connection almost like a religious experience...um, jell-us!

blue's Venus(ruling her Mars) conjunct red's Uranus(ruling his Sun-Saturn): Excellent again for the sexual sphere of the relationship, and they get a really good vibe when they are out doing stuff together - like almost people could rally around them and just listen to them talk and get on so well and they could all end up singing together, lol

blue's Sun-Merc conjunct red's NN (seems to be in effect)He grudgingly at first, will eventually appreciate her insights on his family dynamics and background.

blue's Uranus square red's NN, he has to tell her at times, now that's enough, or he just acts like he's over her or is not listening. She's like an intrepid relationship explorer.

red's Venus trine blue's Moon-Jup, quincunx blue's Mars and Saturn, ha, he thinks, he could so cheat on her - and how satisfying for him to do that, he muses(boy!those Aquarius dudes!)He doesn't like other's feeling they might be one up on him, so he could easily tip her upside down with her pettycoats over her head, metaphorically, or even casually trip her up so she lands square in a puddle of mud - that is the sensation - it really gets to him if people think they are besting him or that he looks like the lesser - he has a mean vindictive streak - he likes others to be the pathetic ones for godsakes - 'I mean, thank you for all of your insights and good intentions blue, but you must now be reduced to insignificance thanks'.

red's Mercury square blue's Moon-Jup, opposing blue's Saturn, and trine blue's Mars,he genuinely admires her though, but if the balance gets too out of whack as far as his own estimation of himself by himself and others gets too thrown, then he will shut blue out - enough! He's rather be with a hobo of a tramp woman, eager for his genius insights, then continually being reminded that he's not always the smartest. "I mean, blue is lovely and I love all her interesting things and convos etc, and how fascinating and a turn on etc, but no,no, no, I couldn't possibly subject myself to this person, a woman even, continually throwing up that she might be more clever than me etc" (red lad, where's ya feminism now buddy?)

both NN's in close trine, quite a good aspect to tie together to lives to some extent.

red's natal factors:

Sun-Saturn opposing Mars in Leo: he's quite cautious, tends to calculate from all angles before acting unless it is a tried and true action that is habitual and he knows is safe.

Sun-Saturn square Neptune: He is a bit of a genius, he could have had a highly intellectual position in his career - he can get to angles on things mentally that others don't arrive at because he can take info in like almost from another dimension.

Sun-Saturn quincunx Pluto: He's super vindictive, not just normal Aquarian vindictive or Scorpionic vengeful, he's super vindictive and will at times have long term hidden motives to undermine competitors.

Sun quincunx Uranus:
He makes a great friend/social ally/person to know.

Moon quincunx Uranus (rulers Mars in Leo and Merc in Cap), decidedly chilly though more like dry ice - witty dry humour.

Venus trine Mars: he gets upset easy but all you may see is that he walks off and looks at stuff. He could enjoy chick flicks and meetings with youngish people of both sexes (I think I might be reading this aspect particularly to him, therefore I'm including rulerships and aspects)

Venus square Jupiter: He can get jealous, possessive and can hoard or not share sometimes, he could be a collector.

Mars square Neptune: He could have been reasonably athletic or have a degree of sporting prowess. He could also be a welcome team member.

Mars quincunx Jupiter: He is possibly likely to get fistulas or vein issues in his lower legs so that they look all knotty as he ages - there is some kind of denial in him that resulted in not using his legs as much as he should have and it feels like a back up of congestion in them.

Jupiter opposition Pluto: He could be famous or well reknown.

blue's natal factors:

Sun-Merc square Uranus: Pretty smart but has an inferiority complex or a secret suspicion that she might only be mediocre particularly with calculations and sciences. But she tries not to focus on that too much, and would rather apply herself to developing her weaker areas.

Moon-Jup in T-square with Uranus and Saturn,
She has probably devoted herself and is extremely proud of her children - she has probably put a big effort into helping there find there feet and be reasonably successful at life. She can probably paint and decorate.

Venus square Neptune: Idealises potential partners, loves the intricacies of romance, attraction etc. Probably loves brand name products but may not let others know too much because she wouldn't like to feel she wasn't able to afford them. She has taste and style, and can invoke admiration and a type of envy from others.

I may have stuffed up some things because I was just looking and calculating off the chart which is a sure way for me to get something wrong, but hopefully not.
