BUT in all my synastries t here usually will be strong Mercury aspects, or at least many, interestingly often to THEIR Mercury.

I'm supposed to be Aries AC although i really find Libran men incomprehensible and Aries women i have an instant, unconscious dislike to... no idea why. I find them too rude and abrasive. LOL (don't laugh)

my current boyfriend is a very mercurial individual. He has a gem moon (opposite sag sun!) and also has a sun-mercury cazimi. And yes, i think intellectual types are sexy

he has capricorn dsc and I really can't speak for him, but his chart is very lacking in earth (he's only got mars in virgo, and no planets in earthy houses). So NEEDING earth is definitely apparent. I am by NO means an earthy individual myself (only neptune in earth-capricorn, and mars in the second) but i funnily enough i have saturn on the asc! Furthermore, his saturn in conjunct my sun and SN, and my saturn is loosely conjunct his sun, and there is a sun-saturn conjunct in our composite as well. Glue all over the place. Sometimes i can feel he gets uncomfortable with the glue but he is definitely not washing it off.

geminis are fun, great fun, but no way i could ever be with one (so scattered and dare i say flakey, at times. but enough times to count). i do tend to obsess over COMMUNICATION in a relationship and feel that i NEED it. in terms of specific qualities i need in a partner that relate to gemini, i think it boils down to wit, intelligence and an ability and willingness to talk about *anything* and talk things through when necessary. just a general openmindedness and curiosity about life. the ability to have fun. wordplay is a huge turn on. seriously: sexy.

i wonder about the correlation of the DC to one's childhood. the AC is supposed to about your social mask and the way you adapted to your environment in childhood, so i take it the DC represents what you needed but maybe didn't necessarily get? i'm a little fuzzy on that one and there isn't much info on the DC as relates to initial famly patterns out there (or if there is i haven't found anything that explains it to my satisfaction). i know in my case there was a distinct LACK of communication in my family (tons of rage, rampant alcoholism, and a severely abusive mother who hated me for no reason other than i was 'of' my father), so i may have developed my DC because i needed to UNDERSTAND her and the situation, and in attempting such, i could find some safety and distance from her constantly cruel remarks, etc. or maybe because she was so dual-natured (seemed like a nice person to the world in general, but a monster at home). i'm not really sure. all i know is that to feel safe in a partnership, i really need to UNDERSTAND where the other person's coming from and who they are, and i'm trying to curb my obsession with that and just trust and feel what is, rather than need verbal confirmations OF what i feel.

so that said, i wonder if your DC isn't necessarily about what you need NOW per se as maybe what you needed in your formative years? ..or, the general sense of need remains, BUT isn't necessarily *necessary*..?

haha all this gemini talk has got me commmmunicative. go figure.
