Question about duads:

posted June 17, 2013 01:34 PM            

This paragraph for example:
For a woman the duads of your Sun, Moon, Mars, Ascendant and Nodes are usually the main significators of attraction to the opposite sex. E.g. if a woman has her Sun in Cancer in the Libra duad and the 4th duad (Cancer), she will be instinctively drawn to Libran and Cancerian men, or, to a lesser extent, people with the Moon, Mars, Angles or North Node in Libra or Cancer.

And using my chart I'd be attracted to/a good match with:
Sagittarius/Cancer (Sun duad)
Virgo/Taurus (Moon duad)
Aquarius/Cancer (Mars duad)
Capricorn/Cancer/Libra (Asc/Desc duad)
Virgo/Pisces (NN duad)

Or did I do that wrong?

My ascendant is in the capricorn duad too! Mine totally contradict though lol (cancer/capricorn) but either way I think I come off as "reserved" to the majority of people.

I thought it was just my saturn/asc trine but I've always been described as mature or carrying myself in a mature/older manner.

To be fair, I also have a lot of Sagittarius going on with the sun in the Sag duad of Virgo, and Mercury is in the Sag duad of Libra so it's not all strictly gloom and doom lol.

I am glad Uranus resides in the Scorpio duad of Libra.

These duads are really interesting. I was lazy about them before, now that I look into them, they really do explain a lot!

posted June 17, 2013 02:45 PM            

I'm not sure how I feel about duads, though. My ascendant falls into the Cancer duad of Virgo, and I'm not too sure I jive with that. Cancer is mostly in my 10th, with the tail end (at 29 degrees) falling onto my 11th house cusp. I have Jupiter there, conjunct my MC in Gemini. My Moon is in Sagittarius, inconjunct Jupiter (mutual reception for the win?). While I definitely feel my Moon in Sag, I'm not so sure that other people do. I can't say that I feel Jupiter's influence at all. Despite all it's lovely aspects, I rarely have any strokes of luck, and my career is on a pretty shaky path.

I do feel the Saturn vibe tremendously.

Do you have any hard saturn aspects in your chart?
I guess I'm saturnian since I have a few hard aspects (sun/saturn opposition, mercury/saturn quincunx, MC/saturn conjunction) but I think I'm more lunarian though (chart ruler and a lot in 4th house plus a pretty aspected moon)

posted June 17, 2013 02:50 PM            

Duads can make things a bit tougher to interpret. How does it all fit together? Complicated.

Chiemi,

I am sure you definitely feel the effects of your sun/Saturn opposition! I only have one major opposition in my chart and it seems to be going on every day! I notice it in my surroundings, what I am confronted with in life. How does your opposition manifest?

Mine does not involve Saturn, though, or the sun.

Saturn squares my chart ruler, Venus, and it quincunxes the ascendant, Mercury and Jupiter. It makes a couple nice aspects, one to the sun, the other a biquintile to Uranus. I suppose this gives me sudden opportunity within established structures or something?

The words "sophisticated", "graceful", and even "elegant" (awkward for a guy, I think) have been tossed in my direction on more than one occasion. In short, my Venus (Pisces/6th) is definitely an energy that I feel on a regular basis My Venus mostly being aspected quite well also helps, I assume (only hard aspect is a square to my Moon).

I'm not sure how I feel about duads, though. My ascendant falls into the Cancer duad of Virgo, and I'm not too sure I jive with that.

I dunno, maybe I'm looking at duads the wrong way.

Ha my virgo sun is in the third taurus decan

Hmm with your virgo asc duad in cancer and cancer ruling your 10th house (MC too I'm guessing?) Is your reputation/career an important thing/theme in your life?

I think having my cancer asc in capricorn duad it adds importance to my DESC (ruled by capricorn) and relationships which I can see too because I have NN in libra in the 4th

I hope I made sense o__o lol

Hmm as far as my sun/saturn opposition I think it just makes me really self critical of myself (something I'm working on) and I analyze my faults alot - I know I'm not perfect but still lol. My dad also wasn't and still isn't really a part of my life either. I don't dislike the aspect though, if anything it's my mercury/neptune mercury/asc square and quincunx to saturn I wish was different but I'll live haha

having your chart ruler squared by saturn must be hard too, is that the only hard aspect to venus?

posted June 17, 2013 04:29 PM            

My Ascendant is in the Libra decan, so yes, relationships, peace and pretty things are very important to me. Sagittarius & 3rd duad (Gemini-flavour as well). I do have long limbs and strong legs.

It's pretty funny, my chart ruler is in Virgo (Mercurial) and Jupiter squares both that and my Ascendant. The duads do emphasise what was already there in my chart. Do any of you have this kind of pattern?

So, going by the duad article, I'm getting these:
Sun: Aries decan, Aries duad, 9th duad (Sagittarius)
Moon: Taurus decan, Cancer duad, 7th duad (Libra)
Mars: Virgo decan, Scorpio duad, 3rd duad (Gemini)
NN: Libra decan, Sagittarius duad, 11th duad (Aquarius)
And Venus my chart ruler: Taurus decan, Cancer duad, 11th duad (Aquarius)

I should've known! Haha, all the air signs show up. I'm an air void, so I guess I do need them. Most men I've known in my life had very strong Sagittarius and Aquarius influence. A lot of Gemini or Libra, too, and now I can see it really matches the chart.

[/B][/QUOTE]

I have it sextile Mercury/Jupiter/Uranus and Pluto only because it's conjunct Uranus, not because it's in orb, lol. More confusion! I never know what to make of these "not quite there" aspects that involve a conjunction. I also have a trine to Neptune and one to Chiron (exact.)

But I wouldn't pay too much attention to them - there are plenty of other things in a chart, like the degree of the ASC and the aspects it makes.

Question about duads:

Do degrees matter at all?
Can there be a connection in synastry, if say someone has Sun at 15° Taurus and you have the Venus duad at that same degree? Or is that irrelevant?

---

I have Venus conjunct Venus with someone and I think having Venus in the same duad makes a difference than a regular conjunction. I think the Taurus duads tones down our Venus big time. I mentioned this RAS a little over a week about because i was thinking the duad making the conjunction a bigger deal. Every duad of mine I feel like makes sense. I ll least all mine soon, they're fun

My moon is actually in the 4th house and trines Venus, so I see a touch of both in here again. I always thought I felt my Moon-Venus trine so strongly for 9 degrees, and this shows me why. The rest fits, too.

That's pretty cool how the duads show your attraction to signs/elements you lack in your chart
