This may sound creepy, but I experience this ^ exactly.How did it end for you, Ceridwen? For me, I got respectfully turned down, with lots of reassuring on his part what an awesome friend I was and how hooking up could potentially destroy our friendship. Most awkward IM chat I've ever had. IP: Logged |

And congrats for the great synastry with your SO.I personally think that there's something quite special about Sun/Moon aspects in synastry, yes. It's hard to explain, but there's something very "basic", kind of... "natural" in such contacts - makes you feel like you belong with that person, that you can be yourself - a sort of natural bond. It's not usually sexual or romantic per se, but more like a "coming home" type of feeling.
Couldn't agree more with this. Question though, regarding Moon-Moon; if one, or both individuals have a somewhat to seriously afflicted Moon in their natal, would that make this aspect less comfortable/difficult in synastry? IP: Logged |

Thanks, MorpH.It would definitely be more challenging, I think. So it may not work on the long-term. Trines and sextiles can be quite good as well.

Sorry to hear that. I actually never took the risk of rejection, it is all in limbo.

@Ceridwen thank you so much, I sooo love reading your comments, you are one of the wisest people on this forum. I love how you explain everything - it really helps a newby, like me  I just checked, perhaps, our "in-tune understanding" also comes from Sun sextile Sun My Sun sextile his Mercury His Moon sextile my Mercury I never really paid attention to Mercury. Everyone always talks about Sun/Moon, but nobody mentions communication. Actually, my other 2 big relationships, where I had Sun/Moon... in 1 I had my Mercury square all his planets, except for Mars, and in 2nd relationship my Mercury only quintiled his Uranus and sextiled Jupiter... So yeah, Sun/Moon is very lucrative, but not everything. You obviously need communication. You need Venus. You need Mars.

Honestly, I felt good after we had that talk. Like a weight lifted off my shoulders and I could give him my all as a friend. I have an Aries Mars, so I can't really take limbo for long.  The thing that really sucks is that it seems like after all these years (5 years after The Talk) he's feeling out how things are/can be for us as a couple. IP: Logged |

Thanks, you, two. Also, of course is Mercury needed. Sometimes we need the spoken word, too, not just body language or telepathic exchanges.

Mars in Sag in 12th conjunct Neptune - I am very much at home in limbo. What if the reality was disappointing? NO we cannot take this risk now, can we?  IP: Logged |

My ex had Sun Conjunct Moon with his step-mother, and they didn't get on AT ALL, but I think they were both afflicted, Grand Cross on his side, for sure. It was Leo, too. Packed Powerhouse, ha. AND FIXED!!!

When I am the Sun person, sometimes the woman seems ... attractive but not quite attractive enough at first. Whenever I've pursued things I've never regretted it.
quote: Originally posted by Ceridwen: That is shockingly true. I wasn´t crushing so hard at first. Sure I was intrigued, but it was more that it puzzled me that I seemed to gain his attention so effortlessly. It was not that I thought he was "beneath" me, not at all; but I didn`t think of him as my "type" and I did not think of myself as his type very certainly not. But wherever I was, he seemed tosee me, seemed to know where I was, when I entered a room. Maybe just my imagination, but I felt very very visible, and it made me also feel very vulnerable and too much on display. But I got curious, why he would see me all the time. Why would he even look at me? (my selfconfidence is not the strongest, I gues. lol). Why didn`t my invisibility-cloak (Neptune on ASC) work with him? So I was intrigued, curious, trying to figure that one out, and over the course, I got more and more fascinated, captivated, until one day I couldn`t deny it anylonger, not even to myself, that I was totally hooked, and that the attention he gave me had started to mean so much to me, that I had started to almost need, but at least crave the warmth in his smile.
whooooa! those are both very true for me as well. His friend kept nudging me towards him and me being a stubborn fickle aqua wasn't into him because i seemed "too comfortable" with him...he wasn't my type...he was too laid-back, not firey enough... etc. etc. i thought our synastry was friend-like... then after a while of him giving me that attention, like months and months... (sag mars here too) i asked him out and he said he had been seeing somebody for a while... cut to two years later...he's pursuing me again i'm flattered, taken aback and now i'm all in. i get why his friend thought we'd work together. i crave being around him, he puts me to ease and makes me laugh. i'm worried he's seeing someone again though, i'm still ****** about that lol My moon trines his sun His moon sextiles my sun mercurys are trine IP: Logged |

I have found myself in this situation with a male who's moon falls on my sun, he chased me for a year and I barely realized it until one day he walked up and asked me if I just hated him or something, I had no idea what he was talking about! But felt really bad for making him feel the way I had made him feel! Turns out he's amazing and my best friend...I have apologized numerous times for not noticing him and missing it when he tried to get my attention! I agree with Ceri.....I've never found myself attracted to guys with a Virgo sun on my moon, they seem cold. judgemental and like they are sizing me up! I spent my life with a mom like that, that's why it's my moon....how or why would I be attracted to that energy now....it's a huge turn off! Maybe if the person has an amazing mom and love her to death the energy would be something they love but if not it's going to remind them of things they would rather forget!

It may be an amateur question but does my Moon in Taurus conjunct with any Taurus Sun I meet? Also, do people still feel the effects if placements conjunct by sign and not aspects?IP: Logged |

Hanna,You have to know the exact degree of their Sun, and compare that to the degree of your Moon. Say, your Moon is at 10° Taurus - people who have their Sun at that degree (with an orb of about 5°) make a conjunction to your Moon. 10° Taurus is around May 1st, so you can get an idea of the date that would make the Sun conjunct your Moon. I personally believe that orbs matter a lot and when two planets are in the same sign but do not aspect each other, it doesn't have much impact at all. There can be a slight feeling of appreciation but not a strong reaction like in a conjunction. IP: Logged |
