I knew someone whom I had a "mutual reception" with, with all the rising-sun stuff. Me, Scorpio sun, Sagittarius rising. Him, Sagittarius sun, Scorpio rising. His sun was in my first house and my sun in his. We were both beating around the bush kind of at first... actually, our entire relationship has consisted of attracting and then denying the attraction. It was funny in a way.Even now it's incredibly hard to explain exactly what we had going on between us. I know my attraction in him was the whole child-like nature he had, but the wisdom inside his mind. I think there was wisdom there. I never stuck around long enough to find out. Also, the quirks he had, the same ones which also attracted me to my current boyfriend, actually (more on him later): being a bit paranoid and all the crazy things that came from that paranoia. I just thought it was funny. Don't know what his attraction in me was. Probably my looks. I should ask him sometime if I ever meet him again.
Now, my current boyfriend also has Scorpio rising. Virgo sun, though. My sun is in his 1st house. What attracted me in him were mostly his little paranoid quirks and his attempts to make himself more sinister than he really is.
I think I pretty much made the first move by asking him to come out and have a drink with me. Actually, exactly the same with the other guy. Actually, they both have the same moon sign, too. Odd.
Now, someone from a more distant past: an ex of mine who has Sagittarius sun (yeah, I do seem to attract them), in my 1st house. Taurus rising so there was no mutual reception there. Again, I made the first move, but basically only because I was bored, I've met him online and I wanted to meet him in real life. It was halloween and his mates had this great idea to go ghost-hunting. Exactly my cup of tea. I spent the weekend with him and eventually we hit it off. It took quite a fair bit of beating around the bush, though. An entire weekend of it.
I admit, my initial attraction in him was just that he was steaming hot. Once I got to know him I realised there was actually quite some wisdom behind that steaming hot exterior.
I actually do a lot of making the first move. Well, I plant the seed anyway.
