My 1st boss was Aries Sun with something in Mercury/Gemini I believe.As he was eloquent,witty and very bright.

The 2nd had Leo Moon.Loved being "the manager" but delegated the real work to "lower" others.As Leos typically do.

In both,there was generosity and an open spirit.They hated beating around the bush and would swear a lot when frustrated lol.

I have Juno in Aries trine Sun/square Moon(wide),opposite Mars(wide),opposite Pluto natally: My attraction to Aries is mostly up/down.As indicated by the squares and oppositions.

To add on to what Sailor Gemini said;North Node/South Node,Moon,Venus,Mars,Eros, Pallas,Lilith and Dsc in Aries,would have someone feel a strong attraction for them.

I would also add that 2nd,8th and 5th house cusp in Aries can also be included.

Do you think this plays out? Also, I have my anti-vertex and my Venus star point in Aries.

It's weird because I fell in love with this Aries dude and he had Sun in Aries at 13 degrees, which is exactly conjunct my vsp.

I think that's what does it for you.

Are you sure? Not even Juno there? That is fascinating.

I could be understating the Moon in 1st though.Attracted to people who "keep it real" and are not afraid to show how they feel and live life with their hearts on their sleeve.

This placement does have an "Aries" feel as people who have Moon in 1st are like children. The tend to feel like nobody else feels like they do,because they feel everything with much force and urgency.

But I reckon clashes would still occur.Your Cancer Moon is a lot more in tune with feeling things for longer periods of time. You are not likely to forget.

So maybe the attraction is strong initially. But i would say it lacks depth? You can educate me on this .

My Juno is actually in Leo. I'm not really attracted to other Leos, though.

Yes, I am in touch with my feelings, but I have a tendency to bury them underneath logic. I think that's due to the dominance of air in my chart. My moon is actually a singleton planet. It's very difficult for me to deal with my own feelings even though I feel really deeply because my ego and my rational mind keep stepping in. I can empathize with others very easily, though. I also have a strong connection to the past and I remember things others don't.

With attraction, I feel some kind of passionate admiration for Aries. I like most of their qualities--their bluntness, their drive, their impulsiveness (only sometimes), and that raw confidence they all radiate. Even the shy ones I know still have that hidden confidence in them that is admirable. With that said, I don't feel that my attraction to them lacks depth at all.

Here's what causes this, in order...

Firstly and most importantly... Aries on the 5th, 7th, or 8th houses. Mars in one of these houses. The planet ruling one of these houses in the sign Aries (sometimes even the 1st house).

Secondarily... Aries Juno (in general), Aries Mars or Sun (for women), or an Aries Moon or Venus (Venus for both men and women, Moon more specifically for guys).

Thirdly... Aries on either the Vertex or Anitvertex can attract seemingly fated encounters with people that have Aries planets conjunct that point.

I don't like Aries for a moon sign, though.

With regards to the Moon in 1st, it tends to have a very "Aries" feel.

Remember that Aries emotions are much like how a baby feels. When they experience something, they immediately react to it. Everything can feel "new","exciting' , but also can be painful.

With Moon in 1st there is a tendency for such people to feel as if they are the only ones who are experiencing those emotions.

My sister has Moon in 12/1st house(aspects the Asc by 5 Degree orb) and she has a tendency of being "devastated" when something happens: As if it is some sort of catastrophe!!! She also has her Moon in Cancer.

But with your Asc in Gemini intercepted by cancer, I can see why there would be a "pull" to rationalize feelings. Gemini inputs logic and reason to whatever it touches.

Your dislike for Aries Moon is interesting. Because I also thought that with Moon in 1st in Cancer, there would be a kinship for the Aries energy(1st house can have an "Aries" feel). But also at the same time, a repulsion/bickering.

Aries Moon tends to "bulldoze" through the emotions of someone with Moon in Cancer . They live in two very separate and often colliding worlds.

I would like to see your chart -if you don't mind. I think your strong attraction to Aries- without the usual suspects in the placements- could be an interesting thing to see.

And btw, what is the "Vertex" and "Anti-Vertex"? I see a lot of people mention it on the thread. But I don't understand how it adds on to the attraction?

My dislike for Aries moon stems from experience. My dad, my sister, and my friend has it. I've seen a pattern with all of them. They tend to ignore other people's feelings when they're angry or upset. It's like they feel the whole world is against them or something and it really doesn't make sense. And also, they tend to go into super depressive mode. I'm not into the whole depressive style of letting feelings out.

What you said about my Moon being intercepted in the 1st house with Gemini also makes sense. Maybe it's that Gemini energy trying to hide the deep emotions.

Here's my chart:

And about the vertex, here's a quote from cafeastrology:

quote:

---

Use of the Vertex in astrology is debated—some astrologers swear by it, and others question its validity. Those who use the Vertex generally feel it is a point of karmic or fated connection. Some consider it a point of "wish fulfillment". It is perhaps most widely used in synastry. The Vertex is said to be activated at major turning points in our lives, most notably when we meet a significant other or end a significant relationship, and some believe it is triggered when there is a birth or death.

On the one hand,you are attracted to Aries energy. But on the other hand you have an aversion to violence,aggression and anger. But that is how Aries energy can get(in extreme cases).

Your choice of words is also suspicious; "only sometimes"-when referring to your love for their bluntness.So most times you don't appreciate it?

I think you like the "idea" of Aries, rather than Aries nature itself. Because your Saturn in Aries placements sees that their energy could use some refinement

I feel the same about Scorpio.My Saturn in is in Scorpio and I find their reactions to be "too extreme" and in need of more "constructive" release.

Now when I look at your chart,the explanation I pick up could be that you may have self doubt when it comes to voicing your opinion or point of view(especially one that you feel strongly about).

I picked this up 1st with Saturn in Aries opposing Mars. But there was more...

Chiron also conjunct Mars suggesting one struggles with self projection or assertion issues.

In this case(since in Libra) it suggests that there are issues with relating confidently with others or expressing one's own opinion to others or in relationships

Maybe one feels that their views are not "polished" enough? That other people/ partners can express themselves better than they can ? Whatever the reason. Chiron conjunct Mars in Libra inhibits projection in social settings and partnerships.

Its opposition to Saturn suggests that one is attracted to the "teacher" type or may be extremely averse to it.

In this case an attraction could be to one who will teach them how to better express themselves. Or those one believes to have a stronger,more constructive way of self assertion.

The aversion could be one feeling very defensive and even guarded to any opposition or criticism of their own point of view.

Also your 1st house ruler (Mercury)conjunct 5th house ruler(Venus)in intellectual Virgo.

This to me suggests a strategists and a person with intellectual prowess than someone who shouts and screams to get their point across(once again contradicting this "admiration" you have for Aries energy).

Perhaps its added square to Pluto in Sag contributes to you being self-conscious of your words; even feeling very defensive of any criticism you may illicit from others.So you say very little or become extremely self-righteous about your own point of view(Sag).

Again here what i said re-iterates the Saturn/Mars opposition.

I think your admiration could come from the more Martial "Air" types than pure Aries energy; Fierce debaters,engaging socialites, receptive conversationalists and spirited speakers etc. All Air Mars/Mercury in fire traits.

This is the "confidence" you speak of and that is what I get from the gist of your chart.

Not so much the "blunt" energy that much of Aries Sun/Moon/Mars is made up of.

When I say "only sometimes", I mean I don't like how blunt they are at certain times, but I appreciate it most of the time. I feel that my attraction to them is because (aside from the things you pointed out) they have the balls to say whatever they want without having the conscience to think of how other people may feel, and also their extremely competitive drive. These are two things I used to have when I was a little girl, but then it was changed as I grew up learning that the world isn't just about me and other people have feelings and opinions, too. External influence has changed me, I suppose--like how I used to act like the typical Cancer moon when I was younger. Someone told me that I was too emotional, so I slowly changed that. My mom also told me I was too competitive and had that hoarder attitude, so I guess that's what changed me into this person I am now.

I find it hard to make decisions or say something without thinking about other people. And also, every time I speak up, it seems like people usually find a way to contradict what I'm saying and it makes me feel like I'm dumb or something. Virgo mercury doesn't like being dumb. So I always make sure what's coming out of my mouth is right and factual. I do tend to get self-righteous a lot.
