#sibling synastry

with my younger brother, 

my Vertex-Jupiter conjuncts his Moon-Uranus in Aquarius. 

Vertex is said to be where fated encounters occur, turning points, perhaps karmic events that play an important role in our life journey. Jupiter is the expansive, philosophical nature. When my Vertex conjuncts his Moon-Uranus conjunction, to me, this means I am fated to be his sister. With Jupiter here too, I feel I am to be optimistic, encouraging and support mind-expansion in the changeable and unique personality that my brother has.

his North Node is conjunct my Mercury-Midheaven in Gemini and South Node conjunct I.C. in Sagittarius.

North Node being our current life-path striving and South Node being a point of familiarity and perhaps past life tendencies, this means my home environment (his too) was familiar, it would give a sense of knowing, comfort in the home life. (natally his south-4th house north-10th house) With North Node conjunct my Mercury, this means I could perhaps teach him many things on his path. Mercury is the communicator, the teacher, and my ruling planet. I could offer guidance to my brother just by encouraging him with my words. He is a very talented writer and artist.

my Saturn trines his Pluto, opposes his Mars, and trines his Jupiter. 

My Saturn, sense of authority, opposes his sense of will-power (Mars). This means these two energies can be conflicting at times. The trines definitely help though, my sense of authority and disciplinary masculine qualities are supportive of his philosophical and expansive nature (Jupiter) and also supportive of his deep transformative, death and rebirthing nature (Pluto)

my Saturn is inconjunct his Sun-Mercury conjunction.

Inconjuncts call for adjustment on both ends. The signs are of different elements and modalities. These 150° aspects are kinda tricky, I have discovered they can produce the most growth. Although the planetary and sign energies are out of balance, they cause both ends to be active in adjustment and balance, causing for participation in the relationship and growth.
