I wonder if anyone could have a quick scen of this chart? There's a long and convoluted backstory to it which, while it doesn't make any sense in rl, I think is pretty well explained by the synastry. I'm fairly new to this, though, and I'd be interested to know if there's anything that I've missed.

(I'm on the outside. Wouldn't you know it )

It's myself and the father of my child, a relationship that has managed to be awful at times but also lovely. I suppose I'm interested in how a relationship can be both really helpful AND really painful (sometimes both... at the same time... to the nth degree!)

I should probably add my own thoughts to this - apologies for a long thread where I basically talk to myself but I'm SO interested in this and don't know anyone else who is.

I've known this bloke for seven years and this is really the first time that I've done a synastry chart for us (basically because I didn't want to come across anything like - ooo, I dunno - an unaspected moon on there!). I'm at a point where he's a fixture in my life (parenthood etc) but I would like to be able to direct the energy positively and move on from it.

It's a really long story that I don't want to bore you with - started out casual (Bad Plan), accidental pregnancy, horribly upsetting in bits but we've both put a lot of effort in (we both really love our son) and now it seems to be a really sweet and supportive friendship.

Awkward amount of physical attraction. Physical side too intense and emotional for either of us to cope with - also difficult to leave alone, though. Numerous attempts to get together, all have ended fairly disastrously.

My thoughts on the synastry are going thus:

- His moon! His poor lonely moon down there all alone in his big echoey empty fourth house! Next to his big echoey fifth!

- ...compared to the absolute dog-pile of his planets in my fourth/fifth. My moon also very nicely aspected, of course.

- My Chiron dancing all over. This has hurt a lot. And I've learnt a lot, so that makes sense.

- Exact Venus-Pluto square (actually a DW, although on a much looser orb (7') btw his Pluto and my Venus). Probably contributes to the physical attraction and the whole hard-to-get-over-him business.

- Not very good Mercury aspects - don't understand this. I thought that we communicated very well (we seem to enjoy talking a lot and at length).
