Hi,
I've recently started reading about 1st meeting charts, but am a little confused with how to interpret them. Do you treat it like a natal, but instead of describing a person, it describes the relationship?
Also, in your experience, how informative/accurate/relevant have you found 1st meeting charts to be? Are there some key indicators/players to look out for?

I've posted 2 1st meeting charts from friends' relationships (tried to avoid bias) in my attempted interpretation. Would love to get some insight from others with more experience than me. Thank you!!!

For this one, since ruler of 7th is in 11th house, I think it would be more of a friendship based relationship. BUT then there is a stellium of planets in the 5th, which suggests fling? Pluto in the 7th...good sex lol? Or maybe a transforming relationship? Also since moon and NN in 8th...maybe fated sexual relationship?

For this one, the 1st thing that stands out is jupiter in 7th...good right? and a grand trine with pluto (ruler of 7th house), moon (ruler of 4th house) and saturn (ruler of 9th & 10th houses). This to me indicates a strong potential for marriage? Also venus is in the 5th house of romance and saturn is there too (commitment?). What concerns me is the moon & uranus in 12th. Does the moon indicated hidden feelings? NN perhaps some psychological healing from this relationship?

Yes, something like that. It's an event chart, so not exactly like a relationship chart (that is the composite/Davison). But can be quite informative about how things will go - smooth or not and generally what it will be about.
I am not very knowledgeable about them, I interpret them intuitively. I remember a FMC with Venus on DC, in Cap (I think Valentine too? not sure..), I thought he was the love of my life.

For the first chart you posted, yes, it seems like a sexual/passionate relationship, but perhaps not very long lasting.

Interesting Hera
I don;t know much about them, either. Would you care to say how you got your conclusion? xx

Thanks Hera!

Ami Ann: Are you asking how I got my conclusions about the charts?

I tried looking at key houses associated with relationships and the rulers of those houses and also any planets that are in the those houses. If my conclusions don't make sense, could be because I'm new to this and am completely wrong lol.

No, Sweetie. I was asking Hera, as I am new to first meeting charts, too.

I am not very good either.

I said that because:

-Asc/Dc in mutable signs - not very stable/long lasting
-chart ruler is rx
-5H emphasis points to a fling rather than a committed relationship
-DC ruler RX conj Uranus, badly aspected, opposing Saturn which breaks things, makes them impossible or very frustrating.
-Venus Mars conj exact in the 5th points to a sexual relationship; if not that, then dancing/artistic partnership, but I'm pretty sure sex was main motivation for this relationship
-moon sq Venus and Mars, Moon being 3H ruler - points to instability, perhaps it started with a big attraction, a big pull to come together but faded quickly, in like less than 1 year. They also had some pretty heated arguments.
-this would have been better if it were a working relationship esp artistic. They would have been amazing together, quite successful I think
-there was some depth to this relationship, pointed out by moon in 8H and sun in 4H. Intensity, most likely. Perhaps love at first sight. But not enough to last, IMO.
-Pluto in H7/H8 also points to intensity, perhaps power struggles and jealousy/obsession.

The fact that Moon makes no applying aspects is not a good sign. Seems like a rebound relationship for one of them, or both. But without much future, I guess.

Second chart looks happier and more stable, I think. This was a growth relationship in many ways, I think. There was also a lot of love there. Less passionate than the first.

Amazing! I asked my friends about the significance of these 2 relationships (to "confirm" the analysis) and the 1st chart was indeed a rebound relationship!!! It never amounted to anything...just a fling.
The 2nd one, was a very loving relationship. Love at first sight for both, but ended abruptly.

What are features to look for for longevity/commitment?

I look for cardinal/fixed angles. Not mutable, those are too volatile. Also positive Saturn aspects show durability. Taurus/earth planets also show constancy and at least seeking stability, even though it might be hard to attain.


Yes, in the 2nd chart I can see love at first sight and also abrupt ending. Both 5H and 7H rulers were opposite Uranus. That rarely bodes well long term.

Thank you for the feedback!!


I also wanted to add that I also check comparison with natal charts - the chart that is more triggered by the FMC is usually the person who's more involved in the relationship, the giver.
Aspects are also very important. A chart with few aspects suggests a relationship that is not really grounded or easy to comprehend. Lack of aspects means lack of connections, like dating an alien, you get that wtf feeling quite often. Last aspect Moon makes seems to suggest outcome of the relationship, if Moon is VOC it points to a rebound relationship with no future. Planetary geometry is also very important, look for Grand Trines, Mystic rectangles, T-crosses and other aspect patterns, you will see them in meaningful relationships.

What would you say about this one? The thing was quite interesting to me - Venus in this chart is exactly conjunct the exact conjunction of His South Node/Aphrodite and my Moon/Eros in our natals, and it all happens to be in 7th house of the meeting AND 11th house of mine, 1th house of his.

I see Lilith is conjunct North node, not so nice, i suppose.

Ok.

I just realised i messed up the time with all that GMT, it's actually Aqua/Leo axes. That makes it in the fixed signs.

Aeline, can you remove aspects to everything and leave just the aspects to the basic players (planets), it makes the chart really difficult to read. I will take a look afterwards.
