This is a collection of a few synastry notes/tips & observations!

When your sun falls into another persons 1st house, there is a natural resonance and compatibility that exists between you two. You both seem to just “get” each other, and you don’t have to overly explain your personality to the other person, as they are likely very similar to you in many ways.

Saturn is so necessary for longevity in relationships. Especially the easy aspects! The hard aspects are a little more difficult to navigate. However, trines and sextiles to Saturn often favor longevity in relationships. I’ve seen Venus trine Saturn, or Sun trine Saturn in synastry produce long-term relationships.

You can feel very vulnerable and exposed in the presence of someone who you have 12th House synastry with. This is especially true if it’s involving the moon. You often feel as if they can ‘read your mind’ or sense all of your emotional vulnerabilities. On the bright side, I’ve seen the house person (12H)be very comfortable with revealing all of their personal struggles/insecurities with the moon person. The moon person often finds the 12H person intriguing, and maybe even a little but elusive and mysterious.

Juno aspects in synastry are so underrated. Especially when they involve the ascendant, or other personal planets. The planet person will represent the Juno persons ideal in many ways. For example, let’s say your Juno is making a conjunction to another persons mercury. The way in which they communicate represents the way in which you would like your potential marriage partner to communicate. Juno aspects often create strong attachments! I’ve seen this happen many times.

Some astrologers argue that the Psyche-Eros conjunction is a ‘soulmate’ indicator. I honestly have never experienced this conjunction personally, and I’ve never read a synastry chart where two people have this conjunction. Please leave a comment if you’ve had this aspect with someone! I would love to hear your experiences.

8H synastry isn’t always this scary and toxic overlay. It really can be deeply intimate and transforming if the energies are handled well. However, it can create an intense attachment between two people. Especially if the planet is Venus, or the Moon. 8H Mars & Venus synastry usually produces quite a strong sexual attraction between two people. Interestingly, I’ve noticed the person who is more ‘Plutonian’ tends to feel it more. Let’s say you have significant Scorpio/8H/Pluto aspecting your personal planets (Venus conjunct Pluto) in your chart, you will most likely be enamored by the person you have 8H synastry with. Whereas, someone who is Saturnian may at times feel uncomfortable or maybe even a little bit afraid of the intensity that comes with 8H synastry. However, I’m not saying that both people can’t feel it, because In most cases they do, I’m just saying the more Plutonian person will feel it more as they are predisposed to this kind of energy.

I think I’ve said this before, but in synastry the outer planets (Saturn, Pluto, Neptune, Uranus) are important but remember these are generational planets, so the orbs really do matter. If someone’s Pluto is squaring your Venus at a 9 degree orb, you are less likely to feel those effects, than if they were squaring your Venus at a 3 degree or less orb. I always say check how your personal planets are aspecting each other first and foremost, especially your sun & moon, as those vary significantly from person to person. I’m not saying the generational planets do not matter because they do, but you want to start with your luminaries and then your other personal planets when looking at synastry. When looking at the aspects between the outer planets, keep your orbs small!

I had a client tell me that someone who read their synastry with another person told them that they would not have a romantic attraction because their moons fell into each other’s ‘non-romantic’ houses. The moon is definitely an indicator of attraction, but that’s mostly emotional attraction. When looking at PHYSICAL attraction you want to look at aspects to each other’s ascendants (the ascendant is your physical body), Venus & Mars. The asteroid Eros too. When it comes to house overlays, 1st, 5th, 7th, 8th can point to physical or at the very least romantic attraction towards someone.

When it comes to 7th house overlays, we all know that the 7H is the house of committed partnerships. However, it is also the house of open enemies. So it’s not uncommon to have a love/hate relationship with people who fall into your 7th house!

Easy aspects (sextiles, trines) to Jupiter & Neptune in synastry, often point to a relationship that is filled with compassion, forgiveness & grace. If your Jupiter makes significant aspects to a persons luminaries, or other personal planets, you really do want to see the best in that person, and you usually do.

9H synastry also gets overlooked! The 9th house represents our values and our beliefs. If someone has planets falling into your 9th house, or vise versa you both expand each other’s views and outlooks. You also hold the other person in high regard,and you see them as a person who can open you up to a whole new way of thinking & being. Going on adventures, and traveling together is also possible.

-despite everything, there is still love
