1 Part One -- Planets and Aspects Each of us has every planet in his or her chart. Each planet symbolizes a different facet of life. In synastry, when we compare two charts, we look at the aspects (distance in degrees) between the planets of one chart and the planets of the other to determine areas of potential ease or difficulty. In general, sextiles and trines are easy aspects; squares and oppositions are challenging or dynamic aspects. Conjunctions can be either easy or difficult, depending on the planets involved. Below, a brief (necessarily incomplete) description of the areas of life ruled by each of the planets: SUN: The life force, the ego center, who you are at your core. MOON: Feelings, home, mother, family, sensitivity, nurturing, moods. MERCURY: Communication, schooling, short trips, negotiations, the mind. VENUS: Emotions, asthetic and artistic sense, what you have to offer a lover or partner if youʼre a woman; what you want in a partner if youʼre a man. MARS: Aggression, desires, competitiveness, ego drive, conflict, what you bring to a relationship if youʼre a man; what you want if youʼre a woman. JUPITER: Expansion, generosity, travel, optimism, knowledge, beliefs. SATURN: Restrictions, discipline, fear, burdens, status, ambition, authority. URANUS: Innovativeness, quirkiness, rebelliousness. NEPTUNE: Dreams, illusions, drugs, deception, spirituality. PLUTO: Death and regeneration, elimination, tumultuous change, power. Common Aspects Saturn sextile Saturn f V f This comparative aspect favors cooperation in business and organizational matters. Youʼre able to support each other in activities that require stamina, discipline, responsibility and determination. When you put your heads together youʼre a powerful force, and can help each other develop strategies both for mutual and team advancement and for individual professional achievement. This is especially true if the aspect is within a degree or so of exact and other comparative chart factors support this. elvraine twitter-meʼs Planets Aspecting elvraine twitter-himʼs Planets Sun sextile Moon ` V a Understanding, supportive relationships are typical with this aspect. The Sun person can bolster the Moon personʼs moods when he or she is going through emotional ups and downs, and the Moon person is likely to be caring and sensitive toward the Sun personʼs ego needs and self-expressive urges. This aspect tends to smooth the way in domestic relationships. While the Sun person is generally dominant in relationships with this comparative aspect, he or she is unlikely to be domineering unless this trait is indicated by other chart factors. Sun conjunct Uranus ` Q g This is likely to be a stimulating relationship, especially from the Sun personʼs perspective. The Uranus personʼs actions and/or point of view will probably surprise Page 1

2 the Sun person. Meanwhile the Sun person, is likely to spur the Uranus person on to greater originality and inventiveness. This relationship will work best if both of you are prepared to give each other plenty of freedom and breathing room. If one or the other attempts to manipulate, cling or dominate, there can be anything from a minor rebellion to a complete break. Moon opposite Mars a R d This comparative aspect often indicates a highly emotional but stormy relationship. You are likely to arouse intense feelings in each other, and you can expect an ample number of blow-ups and disagreements. The Mars person can often hurt the Moon person through thoughtlessness and insensitivity and the Moon person can drive the Mars person to distraction through moodiness. All that being said, this is still one of the aspects most often seen between long-term romantic and marital partners. The secret to your success as a couple may be in all that time you spend kissing and making up. Moon square Uranus a T g This is likely to be somewhat uncomfortable emotionally, although it may be quite exciting. You may suddenly have become attracted to one another because of some fascinating difference between you, which may also cause you to to suddenly call it quits, if there arenʼt other strong positive aspects that lend stability. There is a strong potential here for emotional impulsiveness and perhaps even explosiveness. Rash emotional behavior is not uncommon with this square. Mercury conjunct Saturn b Q f This conjunction has both positive and negative potentials. You can work hard on practical matters together and will help each other see to every detail and plan for every contingency. However, the Mercury person may feel constrained by the Saturn personʼs seriousness and tendency to make demands. On the other hand, the Saturn person may feel Mercury person is not committed enough to joint projects or has less stick-to-it-tiveness than necessary. While this is not a fun and games combination, it can be useful in relationships or situations where you need to cope with serious issues. Page 2

3 Venus sextile Mars This combination often produces both friendship and physical attraction. c V d Cooperation and harmony are likely between the dynamic Mars energy and the diplomatic Venus energy. While not as fiery and intense as a Mars/Venus square, this aspect is considerably easier to handle. Itʼs a good indication that you can enjoy each other in a variety of ways, without going totally bonkers over emotional upsets -- or going through a full scale soap opera on the occasions when your desires clash. elvraine twitter-himʼs Planets Aspecting elvraine twitter-meʼs Planets Sun trine Saturn ` S f This aspect tends to produce a sense of responsibility and loyalty toward one another and makes it easier for each of you to accept limits and stick to your commitments to each other. The Saturn person can help the Sun person stay on course and stay grounded; the Sun person can lift the Saturn personʼs mood and self-esteem. Sun sextile Uranus ` V g You tend to bring out the adventurous side in each other. Because of this, youʼre likely to take greater risks together than either of you might take alone. While there are, of course, caveats to observe, the cooperation and support you offer each other tends to help you get away with more of the gambles you take together than you might otherwise. You may also be sexually adventurous together. Sun square Pluto ` T i Because Pluto spends so many years in each sign, everyone born within a few years of each other will have Pluto in more or less the same position. This square is therefore more an indication of the Sun personʼs response to an entire generation than an indicator of one-to-one relationship traits. If the aspect is within a degree or so of exact, there can be intense struggles for authority and control between you. You may see each other as threats to your personal power or there may be jealousy, envy and scheming. Moon square Venus a T c This is generally an easy square. You are likely to excite each otherʼs emotions and there may be a few intense moments between you, when you have to work at understanding where each is coming from emotionally, but generally this just adds dynamism to the relationship. Moon sextile Neptune a V h Because Neptune spends so many years in each sign, everyone born within a few years of each other will have Neptune in more or less the same position. This sextile is therefore more significant as an indicator of the Moon personʼs response to an entire generation than as a trait in a one-to-one relationship. If the aspect is within a degree of exact, it can indicate a highly compatible emotional relationship with an Page 3

4 empathic or intuitive link between the partners. The link will be stronger if other chart comparison factors support it. Moon conjunct Pluto a Q i As Pluto takes many years to move through a sign, aspects to or from one personʼs Pluto to anotherʼs planets are not particularly significant in one-to-one relationships. This aspect instead shows how the Moon person responds to an entire generation, including him or herself if a member of that generation. If the conjunction is very close (within one or two degrees) it can indicate a very intense relationship where each identifies with the otherʼs emotions on a deep level. It can also be an indication of feelings of jealousy and emotional manipulation. Power struggles are also likely in a close conjunction. This is potentially a passionate combination but may be too tumultuous for warmth or comfort. Venus opposite Mars c R d Opposites attract and this aspect makes the point more emphatically than most. This opposition between Mars and Venus is often a sign of strong sexual attraction. It may also signify clashes between what the Mars person desires and what the Venus person can give in a relationship. At times, the Mars person is likely to seem insensitive, selfish and aggressive to the Venus person. The Venus person is likely to occasionally seem to frustrate the Mars personʼs desires and needs. When this combination works well, it can be very steamy and passionate. When itʼs not working as well, there can be anger, tension, jealousy and hurt feelings all around. Venus opposite Jupiter c R e This is generally an indication of a genial relationship, where each of you may go out of your way to maintain harmony. The Jupiter person is likely to admire the Venus personʼs poise and social skills. The Venus person may feel equal admiration for the Jupiter personʼs intellectual or cultural knowledge. You can broaden each otherʼs cultural, educational and entertainment universe by introducing each other to aspects of these things that the other is unfamiliar with but is likely to find interesting or enjoyable. The only real potential dangers of this aspect are that you may encourage each other in indulgence, extravagance and waste. Page 4

5 Jupiter trine Saturn e S f With this comparative aspect, you can offer each other balance and get a great deal done together. The Jupiter person lifts the Saturn personʼs spirits and provides opportunities for adventure and growth. The Saturn person can help the Jupiter person find useful channels and practical applications for expansiveness and optimism. Together, you can optimistically plan, expand your opportunities, and carefully lay the groundwork that results in greater rewards than either of you might be able to achieve separately. Jupiter sextile Uranus e V g This aspect is likely to produce an unusual friendship, with high mutual tolerance for one anotherʼs idiosyncracies and needs for individualism and freedom. There is a slight potential here that you will be luckier together than either is alone. But you shouldnʼt count on this to be the case, or expect to be able to predict it, because that could get you into trouble. This energy doesnʼt yield to planning or calculation. Just be happy when those lucky surprises come your way. The one negative here is that you are likely to feel luckier when together, as well as more adventurous and daring - and that can bring out the foolish risk-taker in each of you. Saturn conjunct Uranus f Q g Both positive and negative potentials are possible with this aspect. On the positive side, the Uranus person can help the Saturn person overcome fear and insecurity as well as keeping him or her from getting into a rut. The Saturn person can show the Uranus person how to derive stability, structure and usefulness from the Uranus personʼs inventiveness. On the negative side, the Uranus person may consider the Saturn person stodgy and depressing; the Saturn person may see the Uranus person as an eccentric or a flake. Page 5

But, before you can compare one personʼs chart with anotherʼs, you need to know a bit about basic astrological principles. What is Synastry? Synastry is the system of comparing the astrological charts of two (or sometimes more) people to determine how well they will get along in the different areas of their lives. But, before
