 |  posted May 12, 2014 02:49 PM     A few questions though:
 1) could this same principle be applied to Draconic charts? Or even Helio charts? But of course in Helio charts there are no house positions so it wouldn't work that well right? 2) would my Venus square Neptune and his Desc in Pisces be considered a mirroring? IP: Logged |

 Additional pairs could be found in Draconic too, yes, why not? For me the reason to look at a Draconic synastry is to see what other aspects come into play if the two of them "align" their life path. Normally this happens in the case of a couple when they are together, whatever the purpose for this might be. The Draconic aspects are an addition to the tropical synastry for me. It's as if the Draconic shows how tropical might evolve, like a progression of the tropical synastry. So, if you're looking for those pairs, I think you should do it with this in mind. I think your Venus square Neptune goes very well with his Pisces DSC, a mirroring aspect, yes. Helio too...in fact, I think looking for these pairs (similarity vs. complementarity) is a fundamental part of any comparison. IP: Logged |

 |  posted May 12, 2014 03:37 PM     Its interesting though, I've always found our draco charts to be highly condensed with tight conjs/opps to one another's dracos/natals, even more so than the tropicals and helios.
 They're filled with a bunch of mirroring and complementing too.
 And as you know, we haven't even met lol, but I still feel its effects strongly.  The tight Venus-Mars-Moon conjunction double whammy in our draco-draco and draco-natal synastry is difficult to ignore.  But I don't get it though, as you said the dracos are the charts of the individuals aligning their lifepaths.       How could it be that are our draco-synastry is so strong then? Lol

 |  posted May 12, 2014 03:47 PM     What I mean is that you read the Draco synastry for a couple already on the same life path or you could see there what might happen if they hypothetically align their life paths.
  With both NN at 0 Aries, it shows what happens when their relationship starts, when it becomes a new beginning for both of them. Every relationship is a new beginning, IMO. But this is how I read it, other people have different views on Draco charts. I didn't know you never met, is he someone you admire from a distance? Or you never met because you have a long-distance relationship? IP: Logged |

 |  posted May 12, 2014 04:02 PM     The Dracos are our natal chart in relation to the nodal axis, esp. the NN.
 The NN however itself depicts the relation between Sun, Moon and Earth.  Beside all other possible interpretations I find that to be quite siginficant; there is a very allencompassing connectedness of Spirit, Soul and body depicted in it.  Maybe that is what our path is really about, bringing these three ingredients together. The Draco chart is more than just a past life chart, it is a lifepath-chart, yes, but at the same time reflective of a deep part of ourselves, our soul. Anyway, whatever it is, the DRaco connections never cease to amaze me.

 you asked me to elaborate on the difference between complementarity and polarity in the other thread, but I think it really belongs here.  Now, there are two main complementary pairings, YIN and YANG in the major planets. Sun-MoonVenus-Mars
 One Yang-masculine-expressive, the other Yin-feminine-receptive. Now, they are complements, but no oppositions; maybe the term polarity for oppositions is a wrong choice, but I don`t quite know how to name it differently than "oppositions".
 The thing is oppositions in the zodiac, like Sagittarius-Gemini, Aquarius-Leo and the others do NOT connect complementary pairings with each other, at least not in relation to the signbackground. In fact the signbackground of oppositions is doubled, double Yang-masculine-expressive or double Yin-feminine-receptive, but not the union of Yin and Yang. Also Venus-Mars in terms of the house-circle is a confusing one. Of course 1st and 7th house are on a polar axis, and hence opposite each other, and coincidentally putting one Yin and one Yang planet together, though the signbackground Aries-Libra is Yang in both cases, no complementing in this case.  However if we start with Sun and Moon as basic Yin-Yang pairing. They are NOT on a polar axis. They are actually ruling neighbouring hosues/ signs, 4th and 5th.
 If we look ery closely this is even true for Venus-Mars, as they also rule neighbouring houses (beside the polar axis), 1st and 2nd, and using traditional rulership, which is very valid as a matter of fact, 7th and 8th.  I DO think that oppositions are a big attraction factor, however they are different from the union of Yin and Yang.
 Interstingly the antiscion/ contrascion (which often comes with the parallel/ contraparallel, too, as oftentimes do semisextiles btw. Isn`t that interesting? But maybe only in Cap and Sag. I haven`t checked that yet. ).
 Anyway the antiscion/ contrascion do actually  mirror positions in signs with a Yin-Yang-background, and each grouping of antiscion/ contrascion covers ALL elements. Aries-Virgo= Libra-Pisces
 Leo-Taurus = Aquarius - Scorpio
 Sagittarius-Capricorn = Gemini - Cancer

 Brilliant points, Ceri. It slipped my mind the connection between semisextiles and declinations, no wonder there are so many semisextile patterns in famous couples. And your observation about antisicia/contraantisica provides a great explanation as to why horizontal aspects are so important in soulmate connections. They are basically Yin Yang connections.
 I think the complementarity of normal oppositions (sign/house oppositions) is not Yin Yang per se, as you so very well explained, it comes from the integration of opposites, which has a paradoxical nature: the opposing signs are similar but opposed/contrary at the same time. Their coming together is a mythical integration within the zodiacal circle. For example, when I see a couple with him having Venus in Gemini and her Venus in Sag, we have here the similarities and the polarity (contrariety) of the two signs in terms of tastes, values, behavior in love etc. If those two Venuses are not connected in an opposition aspect (opposed just by sign) maybe the differences will play out more. But if you have an aspect, Venus opposed Venus by orb, then we can say these two have the chance with their relationship for the integration of opposites within the signs Gemini/Sag. So basically we identified two types of complementarity: 1. Yin/Yang integration as masculine vs. feminine2. integration of opposites, an "asexual" one, so to speak
 polar mirroring? why not? although I wonder if integration of opposites is not another type of key and lock, glueing the circle together? well, not that the category matters that much   Apparently, in most examples here, apart from the siamese/mirrors, we can find both types of polarities integrated: Yin/Yang and integration of zodiacal opposites.

 |  posted April 01, 2017 03:41 AM       The mirroring concept really interests me. With my latest love interest we have some mirror and Siamese aspects, for example he is a lot of Aqua with planets in 11th house, I've no Aqua but my Moon and Jupiter are in my 11th house. Other pairs I can see include Moon jupiter, moon saturn.
 As all the synastry oppositions suggest, we are totally different people but perhaps under the surface we aren't as different as you first think? Key to lock; My venus is conjunct mercury, his mars conjunct mercury. Venus both in our 10th Houses. There's more pairs in the declinations chart. Here's our natals, his first (he's aqua sun) and mine 2nd (I'm Pisces sun).  As a side note, the hard Venus Saturn aspect (repeated in declinations) is showing itself in true form with culture differences for starters.  I also think it might be unrequited on his part, he seems slightly interested but resisting any committed relationship...ho hum!
