hope you had a nice Christmas.
The following composite is of me and my boyfriend with whom I have been for almost 4 years.
As the title suggests, I don't really feel very much like we are a couple. It's more like a mix of really really good friends with lots of banter but also affection (we can be quite cute with each other) and also arguments, but the connection doesn't feel very much like a standard man-woman type of romance. I hope that makes sense to you.
Can you see in the composite why that is?

Hi Lunalscariot,

the synastry is really good (I remember you commenting on it in another thread) so I thought it must be down to the composite

But to answer your question, I don't really have a sincere answer because it is a very odd composite I'm seeing. You would think you would be a lovey-dovey intimate couple with a composite like that.

Some things I just noticed:

Moon exalted in Taurus conjunct Mars fall in Taurus, 1st house.

Venus home in Taurus in 1st house // Opposite Pluto home in Scorpio in 7th house.

Mars is the 1st house and 8th house ruler and it is at fall conjunct the Moon at exaltation. Both in the 1st house. This can make the fallen nature of Mars more noticeable and even more powerfully obvious, on the forefront of the relationship, so it could actually be putting a damper on your Mars activities, such as romantic passion and energy. The weakened nature of this Mars is now becoming far more noticeable and more in your face.

7th house ruler Venus in Taurus in 1st opposite Pluto in Scorpio in 7th. Again, problems with establishing intensity and intimacy. I see Venus and Pluto are also in a Kite with Neptune in Cap in the 9th and Jupiter in Virgo in the 5th. There might be big hopes and dreams for this partnership to last despite its struggles. That Kite also has the grand trine of Venus, Neptune, and Jupiter so this relationship can definitely be on the more passive and less physical side.

I also see Mercury at fall in Pisces and also in the 12th house. I am a bit superstitious with mutable placements in a composite. They seem to do more trouble than benefit, even if the planet they are touching is not angular.

Your composite Mercury fallen in both Pisces and 12th house can mean you two enjoy lively and relevant conversations that relate to your mutual interests, but can also find boredom quickly if you have nothing of interest to speak of. Sextile the fallen Mars, you guys might be a bit passive/lazy when it comes to verbally asserting your desire for more romantic and sexual gestures that would differentiate you from a normal friendship.

Both 11th house rulers are in the 8th house. Uranus is also square fallen Mercury and Saturn is square Jupiter. You guys maybe started off as close friends but are now finding some tough luck in kicking into the intimate playground without making it too much like seeing your sibling or your closest friend.

Thank you Capricorn,

the language is German

We also have a long distance relationship. And we are very affectionate with each other, physically close most of the time when we are together. It is passionate, too, as we tend to argue a quite a bit haha. But still, not very "coupley".

I noticed that my moon is conjunct his South Node. Maybe my soul remembers a lifetime where we either of us was a parent to the other? Not that he feels like my son or father now (that would me more than weird), but it might have something to do with not feeling coupley.

I think the long distance element of the connection probably causes a lack of attachment/bonding since you don’t see each other as often as a “normal couple”. I wonder if you guys moved in together or seen each other daily if things would feel different because there would be more oxytocin etc.

Utterly awesome connection, but from my own experience, the reversal of natural roles enables a demure dynamic. Also, maybe the lack of Saturn touching personal planets (or composite for that matter) doesn’t stir the “serious bonding” effect that would make some couples cling to each other. Greetings from Berlin 😉

But I noticed in the compostite you have nothing in the 5th, 7th or 8th house personal planets. Perhaps that’s why. All my romantic relationship always had something in one if not all of those houses so maybe that’s why? 🤔

Hi Luna,

It sounds like you are content but deep down you want to fall madly in love and you know that this isn't your guy...

Mmh, I know we won't be together forever as we have very different views on family life (he wants kids, I don't). I don't really rely on astrology when it comes to love, I'm just wondering whether it can be explained in this particular case why there is no romantic man/woman connection. At least from my side. A guy I had a very deep and transformative soul connection with had no particularly interesting synastry with me, yet I knew what it was.

Beyond that, IMO SN conjunctions aren't good for the most part. NN represents 'where we want to go', SN being opposite represents what will prevent us from getting our NN. Moon conjunct SN bestows great empathy and understanding, but ultimately the NN person wants to break free from the SN/Moon stuff. As well, Saturn represents security and so clutches for dear life onto its territory, so the NN person can feel like the Saturn person represents or is actively pulling the other where the NN person is trying to leave.

A synastry/composite that are full of harmonious aspects can sometimes turn two people into more like family rather than lovers. You have Mars-Pluto with him but your passion is in arguments? How about redirecting the energy, haha? Also, I noticed your 8th house ruler is not really aspected? That could be the reason?

It also depends on what each is looking for in romance. How about checking out your natal?

May be primarily due to the aromatic him-you synastry house overlays. Most particularly, the Sun is who we strive or want to be, and his Sun falls not just in the "Friends" house but also the house cusp's sign. 9th house isn't a romantic house at all (more "friends" motif, due to the freedom aspect of the 9th), which is where his Moon falls. To make it even worse, your 11th Ruler is in the 9th + conjunct his Moon.

Lastly, Venus is Affection and his is in your 12th - the 12th represents what we don't "see" -- so perhaps his warmth/affection doesn't -register- to you.

Thanks for you input. Yeah I already suspected that the house overlays might have something to do with it.
We don't have Saturn contacts though. Where do you see them?

EDIT: oh yeah I see it now. His Saturn is loosely conjunct my SN

posted December 28, 2018 09:07 AM            

to me it's a combination of two things:
The house overlay in synastry AND in addition where the composite planets fall in your natal chart.

As has already been mentioned in synastry his sun in your 11th house triggers more friendship than romantic/sexual feelings for you.

In addition I've been taught to look at where the composite planets fall in a person's natal chart to understand how this person views the relationship. With your relationship the most important composite planets like sun, moon, venus, mars hit your quite impersonal houses, the 10th and 11th houses. I strongly feel this is the crux of the matter why you don't experience the relationship as a classic man/woman set up...

Vedic astrology says that NN on the decendant is not good in synastry because it means the Node person will eventually take more out of the relationship than they give back... but I don't know if the vedic folks are right on that one or not as I have no long term experience with the aspect."

But it seems like your experience is the opposite?

Moon-South Node: This connection represents a past life connection, which may have been a Mother-Child relationship. When the two individuals meet, a sense of familiarity, security, comfort, and safety is indicated. You share a need for emotional security, and are similar in your emotional reactions. This indicates a significant emotional bond, and the two of you may settle into repetitive patterns. The Moon person may feel “emotionally indebted” to the Node person, and may constantly “feed” the Node person’s emotional needs, leaving them feeling drained. The Node person may feel “held back” by the relationship due to the lack of emotional growth the relationship offers. Regardless, the pull can be hard to resist!
