Hi all. Haven't posted in a few years, but I briefly read every so often...

Here is synastry research that confirms that the Sun-Venus connection is found in statistically significant amounts of romantic relationships, including aspects with progressed Sun and Venus. The article is from 2011. Not sure if it has appeared on LL forum before.

The researcher used data of public figures from Astrodatabank, with the article stating only that he studied "couples." This does not identify exactly how long these relationships had to have endured in order to be included in the study, if there was even any such criteria.

See the illustrative graphs at the link. Also the link at bottom of article has further graphs of progressed relationships of famous couples. As well, more research into Mars-Sun progressed aspects and the rise to power of world leaders.

Astrologer Paul Westran has a tested theory about relationships that unfold in this way. In a rigorous, eight year study involving 1,300 couples, he examined the correlations between planetary alignments and real events in people’s lives and came up with some surprising results

...

His research supports the idea that angular alignments between planets, what astrologers call aspects, appear to work the way astrologers say they should.

He also found statistical support for the method astrologers call synastry, which compares the angular alignments between planets in compared natal birth charts or horoscopes. Most commonly, this technique is used to evaluate compatibility potential between couples.

Surprisingly, Westran also showed that planets that are progressed or moved ahead using the technique astrologers call “secondary progressions” are significantly more involved at the start-up of relationships than previously suspected.

In the study, favorable aspects between the sun and Venus turned up in the compared synastry charts of couples a lot more frequently than expected by chance. This was an important finding for astrology, but Westran had other questions. For example, is there a better astrological explanation for why intensity levels in relationships tend to wax and wane the way they do. Can astrologers more accurately determine not only who might be attracted to whom but how the relationship might progress over time? What role, if any, do progressed planets play in the unfolding drama?

...

Westran believes the major finding emerging from his study is that progressed synastry aspects are powerful indicators of how relationships will evolve over time. He likens natal synastry to a photograph or a message fixed in time. Progressed synastry aspects are more like a movie with a beginning, middle and definable end.

In a couple’s natal synastry chart, Venus may not be forming a major aspect with the sun. But this may no longer be the case 30 years later when the couple meets for the first time. With progressed synastry, aspects can be observed dynamically forming, conjoining and subsequently moving out of orb (outside their range of influence) at the end. In his study, Westran was able to show that progressing synastry aspects dynamically reflect or correspond with romantic developments in the lives of real people.

Sun/Venus Aspects Obvious Immediately

From his home in Perth, Australia, Westran runs a successful astrological consultancy with clients on four continents. He is a former crime analyst and forensic software expert and explains that the astrological research activity began as “exploratory analysis.” Almost immediately, Sun/Venus aspects stood out and were showing up between progressed horoscopes with great regularity as well.

For the research, Westran needed accurate birth data and confirmable biographical information. The only option was to use public figures and celebrities, which meant relying extensively on well researched products like the AstroDatabank celebrity database. However, each personal history needed to be carefully checked before trying to determine whether the astrology agreed with the couples’ personal stories or not. At first, he created research matrices and counted aspects manually but eventually developed software to calculate the aspects. However, for years it was a laborious manual process.

Among the progressed synastry aspects considered in Westran’s study were natal sun and natal Venus, natal sun and progressed Venus, progressed sun and natal Venus, and progressed sun and progressed Venus.

Convincingly, the study confirmed that sun/Venus synastry aspects, both natal and progressed, turned up more frequently than expected at the start of relationships. When taking into account all of the possible sun/Venus synastry connections, the odds that positive synastry aspects would turn up as often as they did at the start of relationships were 900,000 to one against chance, or substantially greater than needed to demonstrate statistical significance. Although less impressively, certain synastry alignments of Venus with Venus and Venus with Mars presented at the start of relationships with statistical significance as well.

Based on a careful evaluation of every natal and progressed synastry chart collected, Westran is convinced that progressed synastry aspects are more powerful and intense than natal synastry aspects. In arriving at this conclusion he was aided by the unique format he created to graphically illustrate and track progressing synastry aspects. In his book, When Stars Collide, the author presents page after page of documented case studies and uses what he calls “collision charts” to dynamically show correlations between progressed synastry aspects and events unfolding in the lives of real people.

Hello Jovian, welcome back after years!


****Based on a careful evaluation of every natal and progressed synastry chart collected, Westran is convinced that progressed synastry aspects are more powerful and intense than natal synastry aspects****

I AGREE. All a matter of timing ;D

I even suspect that his research would have been more accurate without using celebrity cases as I have (still) BIG doubts about the validity of their birth data.

Looking at my own nearby cases, with NO exception I found Sun/Venus or Venus/Mars during the start-of...

The past few years we have done a lot of progressed research here on IA Jovian.
We are a step ahead of Westran now by discovering certain progressed LUNAR PHASE patterns during (any) start-of... with the most accurate results! But we never stop learning..


Yea.. this all can't be underlined enough so thanks for posting.

What are your own personal findings regarding these (progressed) aspects Jovian? If you already have any..
