How many of you out there could honestly say that you need a few "hard" aspects in a synastry to keep from getting bored in a relationship? To what in your natal chart to you attribute this?

I've got venus square mars, and also sun opposition moon with both squared by neptune. I think I NEED someone who's just as complex natally or I'd get TICKED. I want some drama, passion, fire (probably my leo moon speaking). Who's with me?

Oh yeahh.
Conjunctions are fun at first but it gets too predicable
Oppositions are the best in synsatry for me.
I like debates, and opposites attract.
Plus I love spontaneity
I don't date my element because I find them too easy to get along with.
I'm highly eccentric and strange soo.. other may not agree with me
My psych professor always says likeminded individuals attract, but not for me.

I guess it depends. In my chart I have what I sometimes call a "loose air-fire grand sextile" despite that being a totally made-up configuration.

But it's my short way of saying that I have a planet in each of the air and fire signs. At first mention, you would think this indicates that I have it easy....so many sextiles and trines!

But with everything interlinking... squares, oppositions and, in my case, a bunch of t-squares also form.

Natally, I have:

Aries Jupiter
Gemini Mars
Leo Saturn
Libra Pluto
Sag Venus-Neptune
Aquarius Mercury

Mercury trine Venus is great...but Mercury opposes Saturn.

Neptune trine Jupiter is great, but Neptune opposes Mars, and Jupiter opposes Pluto.

And I just assume that would be the case in synastry or composite...many easy aspects sometimes create many hard ones.

So anyway, I think I have sought relationships that have that same mix of easy, flowing aspects and seriously challenging aspects. This seems the best way for me to express my complicated energy within the context of a relationship.

My husband and I have a mix of wonderful aspects and horrendous ones. Sunny with a chance of showers.

I love it!! Yes, too many easy aspects would be like opening a book and on the first-page it reads "and they both lived happily ever after" -- WHAT?! WHERE'S THE STORY??!! Conflict, tension, suspense, problems to solve -- it's what keeps things interesting!

Maybe it is just a coincidence but I don't think I have a synastry with anyone close to me or that I've liked that is full of trines. I have mostly opposition and squares.

My natal is made up mostly of hard aspects; conjunction, opposition, quincunx. The only flowing aspect aspect is venus sextile mars.

But I'm not gonna lie though, it is way easier when there is at least one trine or sextile of two basic planet. When it's all square and opposition, and there are NO flowing aspect, it can be very difficult to have a flowing relationship with the person concerned.

I agree, too. But honestly I have never seen a lively genuine succeeding relationship without a square or opposition or even conjunction (in the case of Mars at least).
They bring the spark and make you pay attention. Of course after the initial spark it is important to have something soothing as well.

Also, ther need to be aspects between personal planets or/ and angles. No relationship survives without these, or actually no relationship really gets off the ground without these.

Scorpio moons aren't bad at all, I know plenty.
I bet you're judge this off of one experience.

I'm sooo with you! I was going to start a thread about this actually. I have sun/moon square, and venus and mars square, and venus/ascendant opposite moon. I NEED squares, and I also seem to only attract people with squares or oppositions. I want a weirdo who understands contradictions, and also my mars is in sagittarius so I tend to think of confrontations as natural and healthy and fun at times. lol

So I have a feeling I know what everybody on this thread will say hehehe but what would you prefer in terms of romantic synastry: venus sextile mars and venus conjunct mars, OR venus trine mars, and venus opposite mars???

Since I have venus square mars, I'm attracted to another with venus square mars; each mars is opposed the other's venus, our venuses are square and our marses are square. GRRRR....Watch miss kitty pounce and roll on that delectable tom cat. You've got to get in a few good bits before you lick the wounds!

is it possible to have 100% positive synastry anyway?

I want something lasting. I like when the sysnastry is mostly positive. I don't think it has to be perfect to last.
My synastry is mostly positive with guy, and we have never really fought, and it's been almost a year. Yeah we debate, and I've been a little b!tchy...but we keep our emotions controlled pretty well.

In past relationships...within a week I was going off on them! Like off the deep end. Explosive.

I realize I don't like drama, BUT I love passion!

I want passion and stability.

I like having the same tastes as partner. But having a few different interests does make us to be individual. Sometimes we don't find the same things funny. That's okay. And I definitely don't expect him to watch dance mom's with me!

Or to like music like this! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQFoFD6F-Qg

I think it depends on both the individual natal charts and the personalities of the people involved.

My chart is mostly sextiles, conjunctions and trines. A lot of Venusian energy too, so I like everything to be gentle and nice. Plus I'm gonna be honest, I find day to day life out in the world hard enough as it is, I don't want to come home to a bunch of conflicts and difficulty. What's spicy to one person, is just exhausting and abusive to another. To me I feel like I want the person I'm with and my relationship to be my soft, safe place.

Am I saying there's anything wrong with people who feel differently? Hell no. One of my exes (Cappy rising), I think that was his thing, he was bored - our composite was mostly trines, his natal chart is mostly squares and oppositions, and I think he likes the wild ride or he doesn't feel alive. We just weren't compatible. I don't think there's a right or wrong way. I think the thing is just to go out and find someone who can give you what you want/need. At the time he was pretty much a jerk to me and I was confused about why until now...in retrospect, he just needs a relationship with a lot of that stuff in it and that was probably his way of trying to provoke that out of me and get me to "go there" with him...I just wound up feeling emotionally overwhelmed and beat-up by him all the time.

@ Jkitty: agreed, so that means you'd prefer an opposition and a trine vs. a conjunction and a sextile??? With the two options i'm suggesting, both would have venus sq venus and mars sq mars.

My best friend and my brother are both Scorpio and they are both laid back and peace loving people. The generalisations on this forum are illogical but that's my Aqua intelligence talking !

I soooooooooooooooooo completely infinity percent agree to all of this! My chart is pretty easy. I've got one square between Moon and Jupiter and the rest are trines and conjunctions. My children's mother's chart is full of squares and opps and it shows, she thrives on drama and conflict. Me? Heeeeeeck no! Y'all can have your squares and opps! Opps aren't so bad but squares? Yeah, y'all can have em all, I prefer none in synastry or composite. Now, don't get me wrong, I think every synastry will have some squares and opps though so I do accept them.

One of my favorite people in the whole world was a Libra Sun woman. Our synastry was very easy except our Suns were square since she was a 1° Libra. The energy between us was just soooooo easy and smooth and what I wanted/needed from a woman.

Gemini Sun
Libra Moon
Gemini Mercury
Cancer Venus

And yes, I'm a guy!

Well, that's a very good question. I think I'd prefer the opposition because it would add more interest for me. A conjunction would feel like it's "taking sides" against either my mars or my venus. I'd rather have tension applied equally to both!

Thanks to both of you (and everyone who responded). You've confirmed by suspicion that what we perfer is a reflection of what we have. Easy likes easy and hard likes hard. (The "soooooo easy and smooth" would BORE me.) Knowing this helps me truly understand synastry; it really all does depend on the two birth charts, or the synastry will lead to false results of "compatibility".

Yeah, I suspect it's a Libra Moon thing also because I'm one too. I do have some hard aspects - a couple oppositions, and one of my planets has all hard aspects to it - but like I said, most of my chart is a different story entirely. And my Mars is in Cancer, so I don't even like to fight and do it only when I absolutely have to and usually feel like s**t afterwards. I get all excited when I see a crapload of conjunctions and trines in composite and synastry with someone, but they always seem disappointed by it and bored. I keep hoping to find someone who actually LIKES trines lmao.
