I'm not sure if I posted something like this before - I did mean to - but are any of you interested in synastry between enemies?Out of curiosity, I've done this a bit with the people I come across in historical research, and I've been intrigued to notice that people who hate each other enough to harm or kill each other - people who, in short, are sworn enemies - actually often tend to have the kind of synastry that everyone would call HOT HOT HOT if they were lovers.
As a modern-day example, I can think of two straight males who really don't get along. Not only is there a palpable antagonism between them - kind of an "off" chemistry: like when people seem to be from different planets - but they're also rivals, professionally and in love. Nothing has happened (yet), but you can somehow feel that if they'd had enough to drink and exchanged a few heated words, things would escalate quickly. Put them in a less civilized era and put swords in their hands, and they'd probably try to kill each other. And they're forced to work together, so that must aggravate the situation for both.
I won't post their synastry here as I'm somehow uncomfortable with posting the charts of people without their permission (don't know why!), but, surprise surprise... here we have "sexy" synastry again.
Mars conjunct Venus/SN (exact).
The Mars person's Pluto squares that conjunction (3 degrees). This Pluto is also otherwise very active: among other things, it trines the other's Mars (1 degree), conjuncts the other's BML (1 degree) and the other's Juno (2 degrees).
Eros conjunct Eros (2 degrees); Eros square Pluto (2 degrees).
The Plutonian person's Venus, Jupiter and Eros are in the other's 8th house.
And so on, and so on. There are also pleasant-seeming aspects (like Venus sextile Sun, Mars sextile Moon) and some less pleasant ones (Sun square Mars, Sun square Saturn (exact), Venus square Saturn).
But anyway, that pair is another example of what I've noticed in those enemies from history. The synastry is often heavily Plutonian, and also in other ways (Venus-Mars etc.) what you'd call "sexy". Have you noticed the same?
And what should we make of that? That intense passion always carries in itself the potential for equally intense hatred...?
