Juno appears to be an accurate indicator for me. I have Juno in Cancer in the 9th house. It trines Mercury. (And is quindecile Venus.)Looking at my natal Juno with all the guys I've been with for at least 6 months:
Mercury trine Juno
Every one of the guys has a prominent Mercury. Most often it's conj the Sun, one has it conj his ASC, and one has it in the first house.
Yes, I like them smart. But I'm also very, very attracted to a man's voice. In some cases, it was his voice that first attracted me. Not that I didn't find other parts of him appealing, but when the voice is just right, there's no fighting it for me.
BUT this could also be b/c I have Gemini on my 8th house cusp, and Gemini is associated with communication. Strengthening that link is that Gem is associated with the arms, and I am very attracted to a man's arms. Sexy to me is a man in a t-shirt with the bottom of his bicep peeking out. It's helped me empathize with men's reaction to cleavage. Anyway, so I don't know if Juno is needed to explain my attraction to intelligence and voice, since Gemini on the 8th could be sufficient for that, plus it would cover my arms infatuation.
Juno in the 9th
The 9th house is associated with higher education and my SO and the two guys I was involved with before him all work in higher education. Another ex is an elementary school teacher. The only ex whose career I don't know is the old high school bf who I have no contact with. I tried googling him, but true to his double Scorpio self, nothing came up. I wouldn't be surprised though if he works in education, too.
BUT I have Venus (ruler of my 7th house) in the 3rd house, so that alone could explain my attraction to educators. (I also have a lot of friends who are teachers.)
Juno in Cancer
None of the guys is a Cancer Sun, but they all have prominent water, usually Pisces.
I admit that I am attracted to protective, nurturing guys. My independent Sag self blushes when revealing that, but it's true. I need that to be a part of their personality, but too much probably would turn me off.
An example. Before my SO and I got involved, we were at a work party together. I had brought a pie, and I was putting whip cream on the slices, and on one of them it came out really messy. So I pulled that slice in front of me and said that would be mine. My SO snatched it to him and immediately took a bite, and with a mouth full of pie and cream (lol), said, "It's perfect." He explained that his dad would always do that too, keep the "damaged" food for himself. Anyway, that melted me. I knew we were inevitable. Yes, I realize I get turned on by strange things, but sweetness...so hot to me.
BUT maybe my attraction to perceptive, sensitive guys is from my Chiron in the 7th house. ? I'm not sure about this one.
So, all in all, my Juno placement does describe the type of men I'm very attracted to, which are also the men I've had exclusive, (relatively) long-lasting relationships with.
In synastry, my SO and I have mutual Mars-Juno aspects; an opposition and a conjunction.
No complaints.
