Is there any significance with Descendant conjunct an Ascendant in synastry? Could this also be a factor in attraction?

I had this with my ex husband of 15 years. I think it may have a binding effect to it, but other factors is our make-up pulled us apart I suppose. We were both very much attracted to one another at the onset...for about 3 years...then it kind of went downhill from there. Fyi...we both had Scorpio moons. Ugh! Haha! Still get along though...

I am seeing someone who's ASC is conjunct my MC, which makes the DSC conjunct my IC. I have been hard pressed to find very much information on this and I wonder why because these major axis angles seem very important, like the backbones of the whole chart! I definitely feel a super strong magnetic pull toward this person and have from day one...literally we met as strangers on the street!!

I've read that the ASC/DSC axis is the "magnetic" axis, does this describe the conjunction feeling?

Also if a person's DSC is conjunct IC I think of it as the beginning of their relationship house sitting right on the other person's "home". How the DSC person relates to a partner would feel very comfortable to the IC person- it would feel like "home".

You know I've been wondering the same thing. I haven't found that much info surprisingly enough.
I have this with my soulmate and there is a very intense magnetic pull. I think it makes you really feel attracted to how the other person carries themselves, dresses, mannerisms etc. I see him as my 'type' and he has a grounding effect on me which is what I need (scorp asc). Of course there needs to be other supporting aspects and placements in the synastry to compliment one another.

I do feel that the asc and DSC conjunctions are underated though. I can't stand people that say the asc is "just a mask". Couldn't be further from the truth.

It's a classic aspect for marital relationships; ASC/DSC axes conjunct, no matter the direction.

I find it to be very attractive as well. I feel that if your descendant is on someone's ascendant they should be your type.

I think this is true with tight conjunctions to the Dsc. Some people may confuse this with simply having someone put planets in your 7th house. It's possible to have someone put planets in your 7th and not really be into them for other reasons (the entire synastry must be looked at). But a tight conjunction to the actual Dsc is powerful and definitely gets your attention.

I have this aspect with my guy.
We are not each other's type ( mine is the opposite), but we are inexplicably drawn to each other like magnets.

My descendant is closely conjunct to his ascendant and vice versa. He says I'm gorgeous I love his style and while I don't find him irresistible I think he's pretty cute

We don't have a conjunction (except by sign); I guess what we have is a quindecile. But this is an apt description for how it feels. Of course, I suppose something else might account for it?

this is a huge attraction factor in relationships and often leads to marriage! it encapsulates the statement "you complete me" because the other person is bringing qualities into your life that you might not even realize you want, or were missing. it's huge when the angles conjunct! there is lots of info. about this aspect out there, perhaps not on this forum, but in almost every astrology book on relationships.

My stepdaughter's ASC is 0º conjunct my DSC, with her MOON also conjunct my ASC 0º.

It's very, very binding.

See I always thoughts that the ASC/DSC conj MC/IC is more powerful for marriage, or found more in marriages? Hmmmm maybe not.
How do they differ?

Our asc/DSC are conj by 2 degrees. It feels very binding indeed.

the asc/dsc angles are the personal angles. the mc/ic are more about family and work, and life path issues. the ic/mc don't deal with personal qualities and traits and characteristics, but with life issues. in a partner we usually seek the asc/dsc angle and it makes for a stronger connection. ic/mc can be just as binding, but is usually better for personal growth; someone helping you with career, family, etc. and wouldn't compel attraction unless there were other aspects in the synastry. asc/dsc angles are better imo because they bring the two people together for the same purpose (partner traits). if you have asc/dsc conjunct to mc/ic you have one partner viewing someone as a "great match" and the other partner seeing someone they can help or learn from.

I read that IC-ASC is a marriage indicator ~ well, all angle conjunctions are strong:
http://www.cosmitec-astrological-compatibility-advice.com/astrology-marriage.html

My friend has IC-ASC exact with her boyfriend and they probably won't get married. He is the ASC person and he proposed and then retracted the proposal. However, they have NN conjunct Saturn square Juno all exact...overwhelming challenges, perhaps.

I have ASC/MC conjunct with the one I am seeing, although it is 8 degrees. I always wonder about how many minutes "off" Birth certificates may be which would effect these angles. A 10-15 minute difference could make them closer/farther. Do I count 8 degree orb as conjunct when talking about major angles? Feels magnetic but there are lots of other things such as:

double whammy Venus/mars- conjunct one way trine the other (his mars on his DSC, my Venus on my IC, his venus in my 1st house)

Saturn square sun one way, saturn square moon the other way.

I have Asc, Mars opp my So's Asc, Venus. I'd say the attraction is extremely potent!! It's as if I am a female with male tendencies and he, a male with female tendencies. Yin/Yang completion all the way around!

Technically, MC/IC is marriage, the one you have kids and a family with, Moon and Saturn. ASC/DSC is about partnerships in general, and yes, first level of attraction: Venus/Mars. But MC/IC is going further than ASC/DSC, the next step, making it an institution, when it comes to relationships. Married couples with families have strong MC/IC contacts.

What about AC/IC and DC/MC conjunctions?
