I wonder, what makes someone attracted to one twin but not the other? Especially if the twins were only born mins of each other, that means Synastry aspects would pretty much be exactly the same right?
I know a set of twins where one gets all the attention, and the other doesn't.

Yes, good question. I have often wondered about this.

It seems that they have different lessons to learn. Different Karma, as it were. But how could this be represented in the chart? This means that a few minutes can make all the difference. It must be the faster moving heavenly bodies which change their positions, perhaps from one sign to another.

I assume you are talking about twins who are still young. (are they identical twins?) Later perhaps, their life experiences and choices would determine how they respond to relationships. Again, it comes back to the same question. How would this be represented in their charts? Maybe, because aspects have such a range of interpretations, any of these could apply even to people born at the same time.

Twin studies are reeally interesting because they are an amazing witness group.

its because they are different souls with different experiences under their belt and attraction is based on past lives and certain contracts.

That makes sense
Yes, these are identical twins in there 20's. The only difference is the one who doesn't get attention is slightly heavier. I'm probably over exaggerating when I even say slightly. I'm thinking it definitely has to do with past karma like you said.

as they age it's life experiences that make the difference, so one twin might get attention more because his/her life experiences have been more positive than the other. twins won't experience everything the same all the time and so, they will eventually respond somewhat differently than each other. in terms of just attraction/synastry, it often happens that when a man or woman meets a twin they are not in the company of the other twin, so it's not that someone might be "less" attracted to one twin, but perhaps they didn't even know another one existed. you hear that all the time. twins are fascinating subjects, especially the ones that have been separated for like 20+ years and end up leading parallel lives, like having the same jobs, naming kids the same, etc. i take the view that the natal chart is the thing and if they share the same aspects they will be virtually the same, and differences will be a result of experiences. you can't interpret an aspect differently just because it's two different people, the aspect should be interpreted the same regardless.

did you read Alice Portman`s take on this?
http://aliceportman.com/duads-duad-charts-show-the-differences-between-twins/


While I wasn`t/ am not totally convinced of this, I tried it as well with a former member of LL and her twinsister.

In the very least it was an interesting study of these charts

I'd also ask how come twins can have 99% similar charts down to angles and houses and yet 180 deg opposite personalities. It's breaking my mind, 'cause I hate it when things aren't falling neatly into place.

I think a house and an aspect can mean many things and the twins are just showing that:

Mercury in 6th squares Mars in 3rd: becoming a militant

Mercury in 6th squares Mars in 3rd: having a speech defect

The trick is to identify which vibration of the aspect each one embodies. (of course, you can't do that just by looking at two identical charts, you need to meet the person - something I like, because I believe looking at a chart we only see several possibilities for each aspect, potential manifestations - we are not necessarily fortune tellers)

I think it's actually beautiful , it shows aspects and houses and signs are not static or fixed, which is in tune with my personal vision: each aspect has a personalized manifestation.

I know a set of twins where one gets all the attention, and the other doesn't.

This topic interests me too. I know a set of twins with the exact situation you are describing. One is barely heavier (maybe 10 pounds max) and more reserved, while the other is more flamboyant and attention seeking.

The latter gets all of the attention, but the first twin has a way better personality. Or maybe I think so because he's way more chill lolol.

As far as love goes, the outgoing is way more into dating and finding the 'one,' and really shows his Venus-Pluto in his frustrations with dating. The other seems to handle Venus-Pluto better, and picks more suitable women to chase.

I think karma/fate probably has something to do with it.

Also planets aspecting the angles... Aspects to the Asc, Dsc, Mc, Ic, from other planets in the natal can change within a few minuets. Venus could be tightly on the Mc for one twin, and little further away for another one. Giving different results in how each twin is perceived.

One time I was attracted to these twins I used to see during summer when I went to visit my cousins.

I had a crush on them, but I liked one more than the other. It turned out that he liked me too!

I was only 11-12 at the time.

They were really cute but I liked the older one more (10 minutes older). Hi voice was a bit deeper lol.

I had a crush on him.

I had a relationship with a twin and yes, I was never attracted to her sister AT ALL. But I also close that part of myself off, typically. Any part of me that would feel attraction outside of Barbie is killed... Dead.

Every great once in a while someone with great knowledge of astrology will actually say that each degree has it's own traits and list some for certain degrees.
Maybe it's true. I'd looooove to have a book on this to reference. That would make my day.

See, I had a similar situation. I liked the twin who was a few minutes older, but not really attracted to the other one. I don't have their exact birth times, but I have a really good feeling that the one twin probably hit my Leo vertex.

Check out this compendium of fatalistic astrology on degrees in signs. Just use house interpretations for each degree/sign.
http://www.astrotheme.com/the_360_symbolic_degrees.php

They are all from "360 Degrees of the Zodiac" by Janduz, circa 1930ish.
