But in my experience, the Moon is the strongest attraction factor in the birth chart(and Venus comes thereafter).

If I look at my Moon sign; which is in Cancer, it chould then be obvious that Cancer Sun, Asc or moon should do it for me . Right? Well... not entirely.

while I don't think Moon always plays the single most important role in determining who we are attracted to or who we attract. It is and should be extremely important to all of us, especially when approaching that stage where we are seeking life partners/future spouse/making our families.

See, you have Moon in domicile, which could mean you will attract or be attracted to more water signs, (I don't recall your houses? so... let's leave that out for now, but it is equally important). But, you may also find yourself attracting/attracted to people with a strong 4th house (lots of planets or Cancer 4th, you may even find those with well placed Moons in their own charts alluring too, Taureans with exalt, or a Libran Moon, or Piscean Moon (course Pisces does fall into your water energies)! ^^; But, you may also come to find those with other strong Cancer placements besides those you listed attractive, an exalted Jupiter perhaps? ^^;
And you may find those with Moon on their Asc or within the first house attractive too~

But, more than all of that, I love (personally) consider houses/synastry in full... such as Lotis White's excellent formula. So that a person with a prominent Moon, in their 4th but your 5th house may also come off as very attractive... now that's just an example at work... but, I think you will get what I'm trying to highlight here. ^^

The Moon in relationships tends to be more important in a male's chart... but, I do not (do not at all) believe that always has to be the cast, for the reasons I have listed above... but, truly... it does work in favour of finding a man's best potential mate better in my own experience with interpretations. But, when I do look over a man's lunar and venusian placements it is the aspects that are just as important as the actual placement. ^^; so there's a lot more too it than just me looking at the house or rulers, right?!

Female charts tends to point out best potential mate through Saturn and Mars (some say Sun, I do not use the Sun unless it aspects Saturn or Mars directly in her chart). ^^; And, I still look at her Moon and Venus (which some claim only to really work with the charts of men... no... they're are equally important to both, especially when one planet involves the other, that colours the relationships where those planets are involved/prominent in the houses~ lol so I have a few differences with the usual methods).

In my case, I have exalted Moon, but in a detrimental decan, trine my sun by aspect, and square it by duad... My Moon is in the 9th, my sun is in the 5th... Moon opposes Saturn in the 3rd. Moon makes a minor aspect to the ruler of the 7th (Neptune), the 4th (Jupiter), and the 1st/10th (Mercury). Moon is considered dominant in my chart. But... it is not something I feel too attached to, I'd even say I fight against it more often than not, and that my Sun overwhelms it. ^^; I'm not against other Taurean Moons, nor am I especially attracted to any Lunarians... XD Lunarians by Sun do make up the majority of my friends though... Moon rules my 11th house... ^^; I love my Cancerian friends. soooo...

Does Moon stand as the most important placement in your chart to determine potential love interests from... sure, maybe?! ^^ Is Moon always the most important in a chart for determining this... no, not always, and sometimes not at all.

So what is!? a combination of factors really~ ^^;

I've not experimented enough with it... but, I do believe that in each chart individually, the greatest potential (besides using houses to guide you), can be seen within each person's strongest personal planet(s). Which is why I don't put all my eggs in one basket with that x and y planet for this gender, and y and x planet for that gender formula... this means for some people... Mercury and Jupiter can be more important than xy,yx... ^^; Sun I do not ocunt either way, unless it touches one of the other planets directly/strongly. It's not just the planet and aspects though... I don't want to leave any gaps or confusion here, though so I'll say this again... I look at the angles and nodes as well for what rules them, and include houses and detrimental/exalted/domicile states within the wheel (greater), and decan/duad system... that's just me... gotta keep the bases covered right?!

<- Merc-Jup dominant... big pic - little pic - look again - little pic - big pic -- look again - lol *ADD mind*

in any case~ a domicile Moon is a good indicator for you personally, especially if your houses and aspects support that~! Then, yes... surely, the water placed/dominant folks will be good for you, and you will be good for the earthers in need of your own lunar blessings! <3

I tend to be more “generic” in my approach as I find that, when I go into great specifics, I confuse myself and will obsess about the pattern.

The Moon, as I said, is the strong attraction factor as it is largely unconscious and “knee-jerk” reaction in essence.

But I think the confusion comes with regards to “attraction” of the sexual kind and “attraction” that is cordial in essence. I am referring to the “knee-jerk” attraction that is cordial: The attraction that is not based on physical appeal but very personal in essence.

The Moon rules the 4th house of “family” and all that is “familiar” and safe.

In my case, Cancer is in the 4th house cusp and its ruler is the Moon. So, in essence, Moon people (those strongly nurturing) tend to feel very “safe” and “familiar” to me. The Moon is exalted in Taurus and so, if Venus and the Moon are both in the same sign, the feeling of “safety” and “familiarity” with the individual rises exponentially.

It’s interesting to note that my boyfriend has Sun/ Moon conjunct and my best friend has Moon, Mercury and Mars conjunct.

In fact, when I look at most people that have surrounded me, there is Moon-conjunct something in the chart.

When it comes to attraction of the romantic kind/sexual, I can concede that the 7th house is significant in this, but not only in that, but also in business/ partnership ventures.

But this attraction is more physical and has an “outcome” feel to it. This is the person you consider different from you but affording trust to nevertheless.

My seventh house is in Libra. The ruler of Libra is Venus. So what this means is that Venus people are sexy or great partners when I want to achieve something.

Venus also rules my second house. So these people add value to my life and make great allies.

Venus, though, is exalted in Pisces and so, that also mean that Jupiter/Neptune(especially the latter) are great allies and are likely to have sex-appeal for me too.

Now I will not say that I am attracted to my friend, who is triple Pisces, in a sexual way: He also has Venus trine Jupiter. But he does make one hell of ally and friend (Pluto, Jupiter and Saturn are all packed in my 7th)

However, there is one Cancer that I felt an acute sexual attraction for; he had Sun/Moon (feel safe) square and Moon trine Neptune (exaltation of sexual attraction).

The first heartbreak I suffered, mostly coz I was crazy about him, was with a guy who had his Venus (sexual partner) opposing Jupiter (exalted sexual attraction) and Neptune (exalted sexual attracted).

And, he also had Moon conjunct Ascendant (in Virgo). His Sun and Mercury are conjunct my 2nd house (adding value to my life): I’ll always care for him.

From what ive seen it's the descendent and the venus and mars signs. They say a lot. These three things show what youare attracted to romantically...what makes you feel satisfied romantically and as far as "other" goes.

Moon sign says things too i think, but more what you need as far as emotional nurturing/happiness from your partner. It's less in the romantic sense or less in the sense of what gets you going.

Having the Moon in water won't automatically mean that I'll be drawn to people with the Sun, Asc or Moon in water , but it DOES mean that I'll be drawn to those who have a predominance of water in their chart; thereby exuding the Cancerian qualities of caring, nurturing and protectiveness;regardless of Sun sign.

What do you guys think?

Say person (a) has a pisces moon
Person (b )has a leo moon that's aspected by neptune
Person (c) has a scorpio moon that's aspected by Uranus.

Who would person (a) be more attracted to?Since the leo moon is modified by the ruler of pisces and the scorpio moon is modified by an aspect to uranus.

Pisces Moon would be drawn to Scorpio Moon for kinship and friendship, but would be drawn to the Leo Sun for partnership(romance).

The Leo Moon would feel ill at ease with the Pisces Moon when interacting with them, but the Pisces Sun can definitely be someone that they are drawn to.

The Scorpion would feel a familiarity with the Pisces Moon and some tension with the Leo Moon but won't be drawn to either for romance(maybe to the Leo Sun for business relations or a fair exchange in a relationships that devoid of passion/love attraction).

Personally, I have to disagree because I'm a woman with Mars in Cancer and I'm NOT attracted to Cancer men. Now a man with their Moon (Cancer) in Aries (Mars) CAN appeal if they are in the 2nd half of Aries! But that could be because it would fall in my 7th house, not because it's a fire sign moon.

There's always an aspect to my Mars when I find someone really physically attractive but I may not like them as a person.

You're right though, usually the guys I really like do have their sun conjunct my moon.
