ASTROLOGY: who are you attracted to?
Most people think attraction has to do with sun sign. Everyoneâs heard: âIf youâre an Aquarius, date a Gemini or a Libra!â This is due to the fact that mainstream astrology does not consider other factors besides your sun sign, and most people believe this. But actually, this is not true, because most of the time sun-sun compatibility has little importance - no more than giving a general vibe that the relationship would give off. Instead, we should really focus on connecting energies between two charts. Read my post here about how compatibility really works.
Here are some common connections that indicate attraction between two people. It says that they must be in the âsame signâ, but note that if the two placements are conjunct the bond is even more powerful.
SUN/MOON - 1st personâs sun in the same sign as the 2nd personâs moon:
both people feel like theyâve found their other half
the moon person looks up to the sun person
the sun person helps the moon person shine
there is an ease with each other that is very natural
both people âmake senseâ to each other
both have a similar attitude towards life
SUN/ASCENDANT - 1st personâs sun in the same sign as the 2nd personâs ascendant:
the two people are very similar
there are many common interests
they both view life in a similar way
the sun person likes the energy that the ascendant person naturally gives off
the ascendant person feels like they can be themselves with the sun person
self-expression is easy and harmonious together
MOON/MOON - having the same moon sign:Â
this is a powerful, soulmate-like relationship
both people feel a sense of security
the other person feels âfamiliarâ somehow
sharing feelings is easy and natural
both are very sensitive to each otherâs feelings and needs

one can read the other like a book

both have many shared values and similar attitudes
both are attracted to the otherâs self-expression
SUN/VENUS - 1st personâs sun in the same sign as the 2nd personâs venus:Â
the sun person is the venus personâs âtypeâ
the sun person feeds off of the venus personâs love
both people give and receive much affection
the venus person values everything the sun person represents
the sun person appreciates the venus personâs expression

the venus person makes the moon person feel comfortable
both care a lot for each other
both share a lot of values when it comes to a relationship
ASCENDANT/VENUS - 1st personâs ascendant in the same sign as the 2nd personâs venus:
the ascendant person embodies what the venus person finds attractive
the ascendant person appreciates the love the venus person gives
both are sensitives to each otherâs needs and want to please each other
VENUS/VENUS - having the same venus sign:
both people are magnetically drawn to each other
there is an appreciation for each otherâs personal style/aesthetic
both sense a similarity in each otherâs romantic expression
both naturally understand each otherâs romantic needs and satisfy them
VENUS/MARS -Â 1st personâs venus in the same sign as the 2nd personâs mars:
there is a sense of romantic chemistry
the venus person is attracted to how the mars person asserts him/herself
the mars person is attracted to the venus personâs charm and style
These are not the only indicators of attraction (there are many more involving asteroids or other points), but they are the most common ones involving personal planets. And also, having any of these connections does not guarantee a relationship will work out - they just give an indication of a strong connection between two people. There are both good AND bad sides to each of these connections, but here Iâm showing the more positive side (meaning the reasons WHY you would feel the attraction in the first place). Having too many of these could potentially make a relationship overwhelming, while having only one might not be enough to keep a relationship going. Itâs all about balance. :)
