As usual I'll start with an example

When I was in college, one relatively obscure author knocked my socks off: Walter Pater. He was famous back in England in the 1800's, and tutored other authors that are more famous than him now.

Just looked at the synastry:

We both have splash charts, a Jupiter-Pluto opposition on the Libra-Aries axis in the mid degrees, and Mercury in hard aspect to Saturn. His Mercury in Virgo, mine in the 6H.

-His Leo sun conjunct my ASC (1* orb)
-His moon possibly in Gemini, conjunct my Ceres or Mars
-His Sag Saturn conjunct my Venus (3*)
-His Pisces NN-Uranus conjunct my moon (2-3*)
-His Aqua Neptune on my DSC, widely conjunct my Mercury in Aquarius
-His Aries Pluto conjunct my Jupiter (2*)
-His Libra Jupiter conjunct my Pluto (2*)

Conclusion:

I think my affinity with his writing was based on personal similarities, with special emphasis on Neptune-Uranus interplay in our synastry.

My Aquarius Mercury and Aquarius DSC enjoyed his Neptune in Aquarius, quincunx his Mercury, and his Uranus on my moon.

her Venus conjunct my Pluto, my Venus opposite her Pluto - perfect aspects for making me fascinated with vampires and comfortable with her rather heavy style, aren't they?

her Mars and probably Moon in my 8th
her Mars square my Sun exact
her Sun square my Uranus exact, square Neptune
her Jupiter opposite my Mercury
her Mercury conjunct my Moon
her Mercury and Venus in my 3rd
her Saturn and Uranus on my Mars
her Neptune and NN in my 1st
her Sun in the sign of my Moon
her Chiron conjunct my Jupiter
her Saturn and Neptune make earth grand trines with my Saturn, Mars and NN

You like Harry P.? I didn't read the books but I've seen all the movies and I enjoyed them. I also watched The Host. It was ok.

Synchronistic!

Before seeing your post, I came back to discuss how odd it is that Pater and my husband have conjunct Suns, Mercuries, and Saturns. Trine NNs exact.

Walter Pater's sun conjunct Rowling's sun conjunct my husband's sun.

Walter Pater's Mercury conjunct Rowling's Mercury conjunct my husband's Mercury.

Rowling's Mars conjunct Pater's Mars; her Saturn on his NN-Uranus.
Rowling's Neptune on my husband's NN; her Venus tightly conjunct my husband's Venus.

I was gonna say, you don't seem INTENSE enough to join my 8H moon club.
