There are a number of factors that will indicate the marriage partner. To name just a few:Someone having significant planets in your 7th house. And vice versa. One way aspects does not indicate marriage but could indicate infatuation. If 7th house is empty, someone making contact with the ruler of the 7th house. Someone who has the qualities exemplified by your 7th house. Aspects to the Nodes. All of the above indicate the attraction you can have toward someone and view them as potential marriage partners. These do not guarantee marriage. A combination of transit and progression in addition to synastry and composite can indicate marriage. IP: Logged |

Longest relationship lasting many years that I ever had was with a Capricorn Ascendant.Most of my planets are in Cancer (falling in his 7th house) Unfortunately his venus wasn't aspected positively by me so he really didn't value the relationship as much as he should have. I had to call it quits. IP: Logged |

Not necessarily, although that kind of thing does happen too often to ignore. Often their planets can be in the next sign, still in your 7th house. My Asc is 17° Virgo and my wife's Mars is opposite it at 20° Pisces. So that's not necessarily what you'd expect or think of as a 'soul mate' aspect, but there it is. I don't have statistics on even what's in my own files, but I don't think it's most of the time that the partner has Sun, Moon, or Asc on the DC or in that sign. I could be wrong. ------------------ Soul Stars Astrology by The Declinations Guy Expert birth chart rectification IP: Logged |

I've read that Juno and Descendant are important here. As a Gemini rising I would worry a little because my fiance has no Sagittarius in his chart. Until I recently discovered his IC is here. My fiance is a Virgo rising and I have Pisces Venus

What about having someone’s Mars conjunct your Mars in the 7th house? And their Mars conjunct your DC? IP: Logged |

In my family, it's pretty much the rule that when they get married they have Ascendant/Descendant opposite each other, plus one pair of the rulers of their Asc./Des. conjuncting each other. But the Moon (both transit and progression) has to be in the right placement also for at least one of the partner's.IP: Logged |

I hope not. I am a Cancer Ascendant and my North Node is in Capricorn too. I like Capricorn Sun, but not having them as a partner. I like the Moon too, but they are too cold hearted for me. I never dated a Capricorn, but my ex had a Capricorn Venus. I prefer a Scorpio or a Cancer. My 5th house cusp is in Scorpio, my 7th house in Capricorn and my 8th house in Aquarius. I wanted to start a forum and ask the same thing because I really doubted that the descendant is the only that shows what you like in a partner. Sure, it is attractive, but there are some other aspects and placements to consider a right partner. IP: Logged |

That's interesting. I don't often see this (ASC-DSC conjunct) in couples but I know it's a very nice aspect to have. I've this with my current guy and it feels like a very close bond. Sometimes I see ASC trine ASC in couples. What do you mean by Moon has to be in the right placement?

Hikaru29, I mean that one or both of the partner's progressed Moon must be in the same sign as the natal Ascendant and/or Sun of the other partner, and one partner is having the Transit Moon conjunct the Descendant ruler simultaneously (usually the female for heterogeneous marriages). That's been the case for my social circle, I can't speak for everyone.IP: Logged |

What about symbolism? Like say your partner’s dc is in Aries and you have a lot of planets in the 1st house. And you have a Leo dc and your partner has a lot of planets in the 5th house? Does that count or is it reaching? IP: Logged |

So they just need to be in the same sign, not conjunct? With my guy, our Moons will both progress into each others' Sun/ASC signs from 2022 through 2023. My pMoon will move to conjunct his nSun while his pMoon will conjunct my nASC then pSun. Three astrologers have predicted my marriage in 2022-23 so if it really happens, then this rule works for me as well. IP: Logged |

My descendant is Aquarius and I don’t want to marry an Aquarius. I think it means someone with the qualities of your descendant not necessarily the actual sign.IP: Logged |
