Ras,

first off: I think he liked you, but maybe not enough to be in love with you or seriously consider you as a romantic prospect.

I focus on the so called challenging aspects, as they will always be in the centre, and those are the ones that pose the most challenges if there are any.
I compare these with the natal charts to see if there is any "natal resonance". If there is resonance with only one person, there usually is a lopsided, often unrequited feelings-scenario.

For Romance, aspects and natal resonance with Venus or DESC (ASC) and also DESC-ruler or 5th ruler are especially important.

This leads us to this pivotal aspect, as we already knew:
your Pluto square his Venus

pluto/Venus resonates strongly through your chart as you have:
- Venus square Pluto
- DESC-ruler square Pluto exact
- 8th ruler square 2nd ruler

He actually has DESC-ruler trine Pluto,
but it is a widish aspect, even though still in orb (5 degrees), and trines give a subtle resonance, but are never strong enough on their own to carry the weight of a square.
And even with that you can easily say it is 3 strikes to 1 here, you are just so much more Venusian-Plutonian than he can really deal with.

Had he had DESC conjunct Pluto or Venus aspecing Pluto, I donīt think your feelings would have been unrequited, but he doesn`t have that unfortunately.

There are of course more aspects to consider, but I just singled out the one that stuck out the most.

What I also noticed is that there is a beautiful Jupiter-Sun-conjunction, which he resonates with (his 5th house ruler conjuncts Jupiter). This is a very happy content enthusiastic feeling-good combination.
I guess he liked your admiration and support (no matter if he said so or not) and therefore liked you, but just wasnīt romantically attracted.
Maybe there was playful verbal banter involved here, a bit of flirting, but for him all very much on a superficial playful level.

Next I am checking for aspects to the ruler of 5th and 7th house. I have found that without these usually attractions do not occur.
Conjunctions are the strongest, oppositions work, too.
Squares interestingly work sometimes as well, if the ASC is the one squaring the ruler of that house. It is a bit stormy, but usually denotes a strong attraction to the ASC-owner. Other planets in square do not always work that well, it depends on the planet. Sun and Mars seem to work better than Moon. Maybe Moon is simply too sensitive and too much needing of harmony. Venus sometimes is not really all that keen on squares either.

Anyway, so we see:
your 5th house ruler trine his Moon
square his ASC
conjunct his IC

his main axis are strongly triggering your 5th house (ruler) - no wonder he sparked something off in you! (and with your resonance to the Venus-pluto-square it would feel pretty intense for you).

his 5th house ruler is not completely unaspected, but trine your Venus, which is your chartruler.
That is actually quite nice. But as I said, trines do not make your heart miss a beat, even though they feel quite cuddly and pleasant (and you need some of their harmony!), but if these are the only aspects it might not evoke a storm of fiery passion.
What it means though is that he liked you (trine to your chartruler Venus).


the 7th house ruler does not tell us about sparks (unless tied to Mars, Pluto or ASC maybe), but if you consider each other a possible mate for a long lasting romantic partnership. it is romantic in the sense that you can imagine to actually be in a relationship with that person.

Your DESC-ruler conjuncts his ASC-ruler Venus and sextiles his ASC.
Well, that conjunction indicates that you very much considered him a possible mate for you, a "perfect" partner who seemed to be very attractive for you.

his DESC-ruler on the other hand had no strong aspects to your chart, or at least to identity-planets/angles in your chart.
I guess you just werenīt the type he was looking for in a mate.


third step is composite:

the outstanding challenges in the composite are (of course there were nice and pleasant things as well):

° Sun conjunct Medea in Cancer, opposite Neptune in Capricorn, square Ophelia in Libra.

now, I put Medea and Ophelia into your charts for a reason following a hunch I had.

Ophelia is indicative of the rejected lover (as Hamlet rejected her, no matter if he still loved her or not); often it indicates unrequited feelings.

Medea has a multilayered symbolism, but in relationships, the two themes dominate:
1) Extreme (compulsive) love
2) betrayal

Medea was a princess who fell in love with the hero Jason, helped him by betraying her family, went away with him, swept up in her passion with him, had two kids with him, only to be abandoned by him, when he could climb the social ladder by marrying another princess.
She exacted revenge in killing their two children and his bride.

now, of course Medea will not always indicate these severe actions.

But it seems to indicate how you can fall for a person that you seemingly lose your mind, and are just completely enthralled with them to the point that you would do anything for them, without even seeing that the other person doesnīt feel the same for you.
it was not that jason did not like Medea, but he just did not see their affair as so serious as she did. Besides he was a b****** imo. lol

The fact that Medea is conjunct the composite Sun (the heart of the relationship) and Ophelia is of the opposition to the Sun-Neptune-opposition shows imo that the theme of unrequited feelings, based on dreams and false hopes (neptune in its challenging form) will come up.
it doesnīt yet say who would feel it the most, for that we have to see if it links to the natal charts.

° Moon square Saturn:
speaking of possible emotional repression, though could also be extremely responsible

° Venus square Pluto

The Sun-Neptune-opposition was created because both of you have it natally, make it THE core theme of your relationship in your composite.

you resonate with the Venus-Pluto square of the composite.

I haven`t really seen too much resonance iwth the Moon-Saturn-square: maybe that was just a by-product, not sure.

Anyway checking for conjunctions/ oppositions of the composite charts to the natal.

first off the planets that trigger SYNASTRIC aspects.

The composite Venus, chartruler (what it`s about so to speak):
conjunct both your chartrulers Venus and your DESC-ruler mars.

Both of you react to that, and probably found the connection pleasant, but in your case it also connects to your DESC-ruler, making you think of it as a possible romantic partnership.


° composite SN:
conjuncts your ASC/Ophelia
conjuncts his Saturn and Pluto

(composite NN conjuncts your DESC - you felt like this could be a fated relationship).

The SN on your ASC/Ophelia and his Saturn/Pluto looks very karmic, like the scenario of rejection stems in a past life.
It also looks like there was a clear purpose in transformation for this, possibly more important to you than him, but cannot say for certain.


his perspective in the composite:
° c-Jupiter conjunct his Moon:
emphasizes again that he probably feels quite good emotionally in it

° c-Saturn opposite his Mercury, conjunct his Jupiter and conjunct his 5th house ruler Uranus
Here he is affected the most from the Moon-Saturn-square (esp. the Saturn), and I bet his 5th house ruler Uranus does not like the seriousness of this composite Saturn a little bit! Like he fears this relatiosnhip would demand too much commitment of him, more than his 5th house ruler likes and feels good with

-------------------------------------

your perspective:

° csun and Medea conjunct your mercury and opposite your IC-ruler; C-neptuen opposite your mercury and conjunct your uranus
so this core-connection and challenge affects your natal chart strongly and probably will or has triggered a change in thinking in you. Since Uranus rules your IC, it might have shaken the very foundations of your soul.


° composite Mars conjunct your Sun and Vertex:
it must have felt pretty fated, especially the physical aspect of it, (or the possible physical aspect)


° composite Vertex conjunct your Sun and Antivertex conjunct your Saturn and 5th house ruler Neptune
Some more fated moments, or more specifically, turning points in that connection that activated your romantic side but also the sense of possible rejection (Saturn is conjunct Neptune and opposite Sun for you).


This actually looks pretty karmic all in all.

I added this from your help and the help of one of my small astrology study groups.


Saturn square Mars

Saturn is responsibility, delayed gratification, working slowly toward a goal and an overall seriousness in life. Saturn could be called a wet blanket, in common parlance. Mars is drive. When Mars touches Saturn, we could have a helping relationship such as in a mentor. We may, also, have a slave driver who makes it his responsibility to whip the other into shape. Either could happen. In the latter, there would be the possibility of violence due to frustration on the part of the Mars person,most likely.

Wow, ceri! that was wonderful! thanks so much. I will use what you did in the future to understand why someone did not like me back, and I hope others who see this will, too. I actually had great synastry and composite with someone else who had a natal venus square pluto and scorpio rising, and we had venus square pluto in synastry, and though it seemed he liked me a little, he wasn't crazy about me. So I guess it was probably other aspects which caused him to not like me as much.

Thank you again, Ceri! That was above and beyond what I was expecting

PS: I do feel that he liked me because once I was asleep on the couch in his living room around the age of the 13. There was no one else around. And he gave me a kiss on the forehead.

Actually I think one main factor here in Ras example is that she resonates with Venus-Pluto very strongly (natal square involving the rulers of 2nd and 8th house), while his natal doesn`t resonate with Venus-pluto.



I find that strange tbh.
I have Pluto in Libra w.Venus/Pluto. Men I attract sometimes with no venus/pluto resonance in their chart (doesn't happen often since most of em have the natal aspect or Venus H8), but they play it out just the same. Really feed off of it in synastry. They have Moon/Pluto tho, or Moon H8, or Scorp ASC/Pluto in the 1st. Could this be why?

Lonake,


"doesn't happen often since most of em have the natal aspect or Venus H8"
Well, they have Venus-Pluto then, donīt they?

"They have Moon/Pluto tho, or Moon H8, or Scorp ASC/Pluto in the 1st. Could this be why?
"
Yes, I think so. Scorpio - ASC or Pluto in 1st is sometimes likened to have similiarities to a Mars/Pluto, which is the complement to Venus/Pluto.
Also Moon-Pluto may not be an exact resonance, so there might be some differences,b ut in the very least it gives a resonance with Pluto and a receptive planet.

The outer planets in strong aspect to personal planets often have a karmic or spiritual aspect to them and yes, they can elevate an attraction and romance into the state of bliss or despair, turning up the heat and intensity several degrees, but as per my observation they can only strengthen or intensify what is already there.

Without strong attractionaspects involving Venus, ruler of 5th and ruler of 7th house and to a lesser degree Moon and Sun (these are very very important, don`t get me wrong, but not necessarily romantic, Moon and Sun I mean) and Mars, even a Venus-Pluto-aspect will not "make" anything happen.

Also keep in mind that we all donīt have just one resonating aspect, but several, and I guess the person who resonates strongest will be the most attracted (or repulsed).


What I mean is I have a strong Venus-Pluto theme natally as well yes (Venus square Pluto, ruler of 8th in 2nd house, ruler of 2nd in 8th house, ruler of 8th quinkunx ruler of 2nd house, Pluto trine DESC), but that is not all there is.
If someone complements my Venus/Pluto, but my Mars-Neptune (conjunction, Mars in 12th, Neptune in 1st) or Mercury - Jupiter (Mercury in Sag, Jupiter in 3rd, ruler of 3rd in Sagittarius square Jupiter etc.) stays "hungry", then this would make for a very unbalanced sort of relationship or attraction. It would feel like despite strong attraction, several aspects of my personality are just not "seen".

Of course you won`t get all natal themes "met", but the most important ones and especially those tied to relationship needs should be there - that is why I mentioned the Mercury-Jupiter-aspects for me. Even though in other charts it might not be that important to have it strong in a relationship, in my case Mercury and Jupiter ruler my relationship-axis and therefore these NEED to be met or reflected by the other.


Another thing that you have to take into account BIG time is the PROGRESSED SYNASTRY.
Honestly, every natal connection is just a dormant potential and needs to be "kissed awake", and that is where progressed synastry as well as transits and progressions to synastric aspects come into play.


The irony is, your natal synastry could indcate that the guy is totally smitten with you (as told by Venus, ruler of 5th house ruler of7th house, DESC), but if in the progressions neither his Venus, 5th house ruler, 7th house ruler of DESC are strongly aspected, he probably will not be smitten with you. At least not at that time.
The potential is of course there, but you`d need something to bring it into focus/ centre.

That`s sometimes what happens when I donīt know what I am going to write when starting to post. It`s like something just pours out of me. And most of the time I feel like I should apologize afterwards for informations or thoughts noone ever really has been asking for.
I guess it is my Jupiter in Pisces in 3rd house square Neptune - just doesn`t know any bounds!
Come to that that Karma is in Gemini in 7th house with SN also in Gemini in 7th house, so I guess it is not the first time that I am just blurting out with informations noone ever wanted to have in the first place.

But my hope is that something in this mess of words will be of use for someone reading it.
I`d be happy if some of it was valuable for you.

You shouldn't feel that way at all. I actually felt special that you were willing to bestow your genius knowledge on me, and I felt really thankful for it, actually. You're very down to earth about your expertise, dear! A lot are snobby or think they know better than others. Toodles.

Thank you, Ras, I am glad that you see it and me like that, as this is what I try to do. Sharing my knowledge (or what I have found to be valuable), while being aware that it is of course all just my perception.
