What if two people have all the great romantic synastry aspects, but while person As planets all fall in person Bs relationship houses, person Bs planets fall in person As 2nd,3rd,6th house? Will the attraction be experienced rather one-sided?IP: Logged |

Ana Bee, great question. Aspects and House overlays are both important. In your example, attraction may be just as strong--but focus feels different for each (depending on Houses activated). Romantic attraction is not limited to just those traditional Houses. I look at all Houses below the Horizon (subjective personal Houses), plus 7th and 8th. IP: Logged |

Agree with comdoc. Attraction will be mutual, but the focus will be different.Personally, I believe Synastry aspects, and house overlays and like comparing apples and orange. They are different ways of drawing a conclusion. Both aren't required for a relationship to work. IP: Logged |

Interaspects are more important, imo.
Especially the hard aspects to the Asc and Dsc rulers. Those aspects set things off. House overlays set the tone of the relationship.For example, Mercury stands for communication.Look where your Mercury falls in your partner's chart and then look at what topics you talk about. If your Mercury falls in your partner's first house, you probably talk a lot about his appearance, give him compliments or make remarks about his personality traits.
Your Mercury in his sixth house could mean that you often give advice on health or job related things.
You can apply this with any planet. IP: Logged |

My Southnode conjunct's my Ex IC.My husband's Southnode conjuncts my IC. But you need to have asteroids or planets on the points for the points to be felt or for them to be activated by transit so I think both are important but yes points activated by planets or asteroids are more powerful.

Not likely. Equal attraction is easy to experience without astrology. What matters is understanding the internal relational dynamics once it does get going. I rarely consider house overlays in synastry. They provide some insight once the relationship is solid and moving forward, but unless you know the person well enough and astrology deeply enough to verify both Ascendants and all those house positions, you could be fooling yourself. Knowing what are supportive aspects and what are challenging (in longitude and declination) will frame up what the strengths and issues are in the relationship and is more important than house overlays. ------------------

I just remember reading an article on caféastrology-com how after a break up the woman suffered more than the man. They explained it with their house overlays. His moon was in her 4th house, her moon was in his 5th. While he enjoyed all the fun both had, he wasn`t nearly as emotionally invested as she was, for his Moon touched her deeply in her 4th house.. something like that.  They didn`t post the chart, so maybe it had other reasons than house overlays.. I don`t know. But it does kinda make sense. Wouldn`t a person`s planets act like a permanent transit to your particular house? Wouldn`t you feel more intensely about someone who occupies your 8th house, than someone who occupies your 2nd?
