In the book "Astrology, Karma and Transformation: The Inner Dimensions of the Birth Chart" Stephen Arroyo says this:Few books on chart comparisons sufficiently emphasise the importance of aspects between one person's natal planets and the other person's Ascendant, Midheaven or their ruling planets. One of the few exceptions is Lois H. Sargent's "How to Handle Your Human Relations", in which she makes repeated reference to the Ascendant and it's ruler. Here are a few of her comments:
quote:
Most important in judging attraction is the aspect between the ascendant of one chart and the planets of the other. This is true not only for marriage but for all comparisons.Sun, Moon, Venus or Mars in one horoscope in the sign ascending or descending in the other horoscope is an astrological testimony of a strong attraction.
Unless the ascendant or descendant of one horoscope does combine with the planets of the other by sign it is doubtful that the attraction would result in marriage. So far as my own experience has been concerned in testing this rule, I would say that an attraction would never result in marriage unless the ascendant or descendant of one or both horoscopes is so involved.
It is the ascendant, symbolising personality of the individual, that determines the real power or magnetism of the attraction. The ascendant of one chart in aspect to planets of the other chart confirms and supports any congeniality and compatibility as read in the aspects formed between planets in the respective horoscopes.
Now, I have been married once and the person's Sun does fall into my 1st house but my Sun, Moon, Venus and Mars do not fall into his 1st. We were/are both very attracted physically to each other.
The only angle conjunction we have is his Moon conjunct my MC. But what I found interesting is my attraction to him is continual and physical, not dependant on anything but his simply being himself. Whereas his attraction to me seems conditional on me being seen publicly as professional. My MC in Capricorn seems to make this condition more understandable.
I am curious about details with anyone you have been in a relationship with and/or married and if this passage holds true in your personal experience. Feel free to add anything to do with attraction whether you were in a relationship with the person or not. I just think it might be interesting to see where this research succeeds or fails.
