Moon-Mars ( synastry )

Moon-Mars aspects in synastry are indicative of great attraction and sexual attraction between two people. It does not matter if the aspects are stressful or soft. There is an attraction that is almost instinctive between these two people.

It does not matter if this is a homosexual couple or a heterosexual couple. The Moon person can either be a man or woman, and the Mars person can be either the man or the woman. However, it is traditional that the man is the Mars and the woman is the Moon. In many cases, this is the truth ( and in many cases, the woman is the Mars and the man is the Moon ).

Moon-Mars, like Mars-Venus, is an iconic yin/yang combination or masculine/feminine. I’m sure situations are different when the woman is the Mars and the man is the Moon than when the man is the Mars and the woman is the Moon.

Moon-Mars aspects can be rather difficult to deal with. Moon person often feels hurt with the Mars person. This is not anything that can not be resolved. Often the Mars person needs to KNOW he/she is hurting the Moon person. The Moon person needs to speak up, but often the Moon person feels burdened or like they should not.

However, if the relationship gets violent or physical, then leave it. It’s better to be single and happy than in a violent relationship.

Moon conj Mars - This is a big fertility aspect when the Moon is the woman and the man is the Mars, but I don’t think so when it is the other way around. There might be unconscious feelings the woman ( Moon ) wants the man ( Mars ) to impregnate her. My parents have Moon-Mars conj in Taurus, where my mother is the Moon and my father is the Mars. They were in a casual short term sexual relationship for two months until I was conceived. At the time, my mother wanted a baby really bad so she had as much sex as she could with my dad. This was due to her abortion a year before. She was guilty about that.

There is a strong instinctive sexual attraction between these people, even when the Moon is the man and the Mars is the woman. There is likely to be arguging ( even over petty things ) and Make Up Sex. However, in some cases the Moon person may not want to have sex because they are so mad.

The Mars person invokes strong and angry feelings in the Moon person. Depending on the Moon’s person’s personality, he/she may repress these emotions and try to intellectualize them, or they might verbalize these emotions. The Mars person does things to hurt the Moon person, either by action or words. OFten the Mars person does not know he/she does this, and it is best to let them know.

This aspect is a fiery one at that. It can work out, but the two of these people will need to hold their tempers in check, and verbally work out their problems. On the plus side, it is very possible for the Mars person to help the Moon person become more assertive, and the Moon person feels comforted and protected by the Mars person. Together, they are possible of standing side-by-side and helping each other out.

Moon square Mars is a difficult aspect, but it does not mean it is impossible. Like all Moon-Mars aspect, there is an instinctive attraction between two people. The sexual attraction is strong.

The Moon person is often hurt by the Mars person’s actions. Often, like the conj, the Mars person does not know he or she does this unless the Moon person says something. ( Other aspects like Moon-Mercury or Venus-Jupiter, or Sun-Moon can help balance the badness of this aspect ). It is easy for the Moon person to build up anger and resentment against the Mars person if he/she chooses to refrain from verbalizing his/her feelings, and this might cause an explosive fight between the two of them.

Of course personal personalities are taken into consideration as well. There does not need to be explosive fights, but most certainly the Moon person often feels hurt. He/she feels that the Mars person can be selfish and overly independent at the expense of other person.

Again, this can be true or only at the perception of the Moon person. The Mars person needs to know that the Moon person is a good partner ( or friend ) to have and valuable. He/she needs to look at his/her behavior and adjust this to be a bit more sensitive to the Moon’s needs. All in all, the Moon needs stability.

If the Mars person is unwilling to compromise, then the relationship should not be.

Moon opposed Mars has the potential to be challenging. Both of of these people need to learn PATIENCE, especially within each other. There is likely to be arguments between these two people, mostly coming in the form of how to do things or who is in charge of what. Things of that nature.

The Moon person is often feeling hurt when the Mars person goes against his/her wishes. The Moon person wants to help out and is hurt when the Mars person takes action and does things his/her way. The Moon person sometimes feels that the Mars person is headstrong and insensitive. The Mars person believes his/her way of doing things ( whether it is chore work or sex matters ) is better and the Moon person should shut up.

There is a strong indication of sexual attraction here, as is all Moon-Mars aspects. These two are pulled together, and can make it through many hard times in their relationship. As long as they can give into moderation and not go from one extreme to the other, they should be able to last.

Sometimes with sex the Moon person may find the Mars person too hasty and wanting to get into things quickly. Foreplay is often good for the Moon person to express himself/herself and to get into the mood.

Moon trine/sextile Mars has a strong indication of sexual attraction, like all Moon-Mars aspects. Since these represent harminous aspects, there is not necessarily a conflict.

Sometimes the Moon finds Mars insensitive, but can easily get over it. The energies flow easily; often times this is a couple that is passionate and happy to be alive. They are on the move often and fiery.

It is easy for them to arouse emotions in one another; Moon can help bring sympathy and tender feelings in Mars, and Mars can help make the Moon passionate and fiery.

They have fun together, as long as other aspects permit.

Scorpio or Pluto influenced people & Relationships

Today I’m going to talk about relationships. Any relationships, really, but they must be close relationships. This article will mostly talk about romantic or serious ones, but also serious friendships as well.

First off, when I mean Scorpio influenced the person has at least two Scorpio planets. But even if you have one Scorpio planet, it may not be dominant but the traits will come out in some form or another. ( My only Scorpio personal planet is Venus, but it’s in the 8H and conj Pluto, which adds strength to it ).

Some people may not have too many Scorpio placements, but might have one. However, they could have multiple Pluto aspects to their personal planets. Pluto in the 8H is also a strong indicator, or having 8H placements. Pluto on an angle is also important; Pluto in the 1H, 4H, 7H, or 10H.

Basically, if you’re heavily Scorpio or simply have Pluto aspecting many of your planets/ or have 8H placements, then this is the article for you.

You’re not all about superficial casual friendships or relationships. You’ll enter into one, but you resent yourself for it. There are trust issues, perhaps resulting from childhood rejections, and this is something you need to get over. Some trust issues are good, though. We’re the type of people who aren’t going to naively trust someone and get screwed over, although it might have happened once. We want to make sure that when we make a new friend or a future boyfriend/girlfriend, we want to know they are worth it and in for the long haul.

We feel like shit if we feel underappreciated. We analyze every little thing a partner does, sometimes to the point we go crazy. We are extremely loyal, unless someone really pisses us off, and we expect loyalty in return.

We’re good friends, unless we’re backstabbed. When we’re backstabbed, we cut the person out of our lives for good. We are capable of leaving a friendship or relationship and not looking back, but the letting go part hurts. We want to hang out, but we know we must burn the bridge and let go. We often resent ourselves for giving in to other people.

Some of us have dominance issues, which can tear apart relationships. Some men with these aspects want control over their lovers, because they are insecure on the inside. Some may use manipulation, because they fear being rejected or the woman leaving them.

Some of us may have found ourselves using manipulation to get what we want. Sometimes it worked, other times it didn’t. We have lost and we do not like that, but we need to learn that we lose people sometimes.

Some of us may have a compulsive need to control our emotions. We don’t like appearing vulnerable. We are aware of our feelings and how they impact us, but we don’t like to show them. Sometimes our emotions erupt like a volcano. We can be hot and cold, like fire and ice. We can be passionate and we can be apathetic.

When we love someone, we want their heart and soul. We expect to be given their heart and soul. We can be jealous of anyone who gives our sweetie attention. We’re big on boundaries. We expect devotion and love. We expect intelligence. We seek the truth and probe to get the truth.

Jealousy can get the better of us. Some of us are a slight possessive and other of us want our partner to be our prize. Jealously often rips us apart. We can be cruel when we’re mad. We can say cruel things.

If we feel slighted, our partner gets the cold shoulder or a glare, or a “talk.” We often know when a relationship is going to end because we can just “feel” it. We sometimes hold on longer than we should. We know when someone is into us and when someone is not.

We sometimes burn bridges when we want to end a friendship or relationship. We want nothing to do with them. We remember them, though. Their memory lingers.

Relationships change and transform us for the better. But we gain experience as we get older and become better people for it.

Square the Asc

Last one!

Note: If you have more than one of things, descriptions will be modified.



Sun square Asc: This can be a problematic aspect, but hardly the end of the world. These people do not always come across well to others. This is because of the square tension between their ego/personality and how they come off. In this case, signs can matter, as they help interpret the aspect.

Some people with this aspect can come across as pushy, insensitive, or having an "attitude." Even if the Asc is in Pisces and the Sun is in Gemini or Sagittarius, there is still a pushy nature and attitude with them, although it may not be as fiery as someone who has an Aries rising and Cancer sun.

These people can be defensive when they do not get their way. This stems from childhood. On the plus side, this defense can help out if they are bullied as teens or children. They do not want to be seen as weak.

As they get older, they may have some sort of conflict with authority figures. These people resent being told what to do, but will need to learn to hold their tongue and attitude.



Moon square Asc: Like all Moon-Asc aspects, these people come across as sensitive and caring. They are the person that one can talk to about their problems since they appear sympathetic. They lend a good listening ear.

Since this is a square aspect, there is a tension. This stems mostly as an internal tension within themselves. They know they are emotional people, whether they actually verbalize their emotions or not. They are highly sensitive, but there is some sort of censorship as to how you express their emotions.

When they express their emotions, it is not always a true reflection of how they truly feel. This is because they do not want other people to disapprove of them.

Some people with this aspect lie about their true emotions and put on a false happy face. I think of the "Keep Calm and Carry On" posters that they had in England during the riots. Other people's emotions come out inappropriately and they appear irrational. Other people with this aspect repress their emotions.

It is possible that in early childhood, these children were told emotions were inappropriate or were told to repress them.



Mercury square Asc: When these people speak, other people misunderstand them. Some are even offended. These people do not mean to offend people on purpose; often there is a conflict with their words and how they come off to other people.

This is not to say they are terrible at communication. They do not realize when they offend someone. People with this aspect very well may be good speakers, but there is a cloudiness or fuzziness when they communicate to other people. This can be true with someone who has Mercury in Gemini/Sagittarius and a Pisces rising. Other people may not know how to take what they say/do and their body language.

On a negative side, there is a lot of nervous energy within themselves. Some of these people may not be confident at all about how they communicate. They will need to learn how to relax and yes, other people can detect that!

There may have been issues focusing in school, or a late start in school. People with this aspect have potential for academic success. There needs to be discipline and focus.



Venus square Asc: These people are highly sentimental... about everything! They like to cling onto the past... past family memories, past loves, and objects that meant something to them in the past. ( There could be a tendency in hoarding, but look to other factors as well, like Moon stress aspects to Jupiter/Venus/or Neptune. )

This aspect does not make one ugly. Like all Venus-Asc aspects, there is a possibility that the native is a bit superficial when it comes to looks.He/she wants to always look good and wear the best clothes. On the other side, this aspect can manifest in a way that the native doesn't care too much about physical appearance, but wants a beautiful home.

Love must be symbolic. "I love you" is important to them and it must be said. But if not, love letters are admired and usually kept for a long time. ( Until a family member forces them to burn the letters ). Old rings or old gifts are usually kept. And when in a relationship these are of symbolic signs of love.

They can be giving when it comes to relationships and this is a sign of their love to the other person.

On a more negative front, some of these people may make good friends, but may not always want to take on the responsibility of being a best friend. ( a.k.a. helping their friends when they are in need ). There is reluctance there unless they get something in return.



Mars square Asc: These people are assertive, but signs here do help the interpretations. Someone with a Cancer rising ( Aries Mars ) may come across as more defensive and a Pisces rising ( Sagittarius Mars ) may blow up when things were repressed for too long. Aries rising may come across as too aggressive, especially if they have a more cold repressed Capricorn Mars or a defensive pushy Cancer Mars.

Their actions, whether assertive or aggressive, annoy/offend other people, especially in relationships. In a debate or athletic event, this can be helpful. In fact, this aspect can denote success in a debate team or athletics. There is a lot of energy that needs to be released and sports/exercise/fitness can be one.

In relationships, it is easier for them to get angry rather than sulk and cry. It is a defense mechanism that was learned when younger. Crying denotes weakness and getting angry is not as weak. In women this can be an issue ( but also with men too. ) However, women are expected by society to be more tender, so women with this aspect are more likely to be reprimanded.

Home life was/is probably rushed, on the go, or one of the parents was like this. One of the parents might have had a temper problem, or perhaps the native was just an angry little kid who wanted his/her way all the time.



Jupiter square Asc: There may be issues regarding moderation and self discipline, whether it is eating, partying, shopping/spending money, and the likes. Or all three of them!

Like all Jupiter-Asc aspects, these people are good natured and like to have a good time. They make good friends because they are fun-loving and have a generous streak. If you're in a situation, they'd be more than happy to help you out. ( As long as you do not take advantage of them. )

Sometimes it takes a hit to realize one is living live in over indulgence. These people know the importance of having money saved and why they should have it. When they are younger, parents are going to bail them out. If the parent does not bail them out, they will need to learn from their financial mistakes. Or partying mistakes, or whatever.



Saturn square Asc: Like all Saturn-Asc aspects, these people are mature and responsible. On the downside, there may be too much caution. Others may see this person as cold and indifferent, since they may turn down opportunities.

Some of these people are afraid to assert themselves or go after what they want because they are afraid of opposition. They move slowly and surely until they get what they want. This may stem from being knocked down as a child when they verbalized their goals.

During early childhood, the child's parents may have been cool towards them. The child learned to be a perfectionist. They are all about the minor details in life.

There may be issues with being too frugal and not having enough fun with their money. They work hard and will need to act in moderation. ( a.k.a. spending SOME money every now and again ). It does not hurt to indulge in oneself... just not in excess!

In love, they may be cautious which can put others off. They will need someone who understands them and is patient. And it is understood that if they do not spend a lot of money on a gift, not to take it particularly personal. Sometimes a lover can see the native as cold and aloof at times.



Uranus square Asc: These people are original and independent. They resist any forms of repressing their independence, and some of them can be downright ruthless and abusive when others try to take freedom away from them. Fierce independence is the best way I can describe this.

While they like to march to the beat of their own drum, other people don't like this too much. Especially the family, which is represented by both the 4H and 10H. As teenagers, they were probably in conflict with their family members. Perhaps they were seen as the "black sheep" or the weirdo. Whatever the case, the family tried to restrict freedom when the teenager wanted to do as he/she pleased.

In life, these people either met those who are unconventional, yet unstable. Or meet those they want stable friendships and relationships with, but the other people are flighty and unstable.

Positively, these people like to help others. They want a job/career where they can better society and the community. They see clearly through BS that is going on in the world and are idealistic ( but not in the Neptune illusion sense ). They have Vision and foresight, but personality will need to be moderated.



Neptune square Asc: Like all Neptune-Asc aspects, these people are creative and imaginative. However with the square aspect, they do not capitalize on their imagination. They'd rather just day dream.

On the downside, there may be issues asserting oneself, in friendships or at work. The native doesn't like to do this because they are afraid of being put down. They are incredibly sensitive and get crushed easily. They do not like competition of any sorts unless they are confident in themselves.

Again, confidence will need to be learned. "Toughen up" is the thing that is best described here. Natives will need to find a creative outlet like art, music, or writing to help with their fertile imaginations.

There may be issues with finding a career they like best. This is because the native is afraid of failure, for starters, but also because they have a wide variety of interests. Once the person can nail it down to a couple ideas, they will be able to benefit and prosper. At any rate, experimentation with careers might be a good idea or take a couple classes to see what they like best.



Pluto square Asc: People with the square aspect between Pluto and the Asc want to be powerful forces in those closest to them, whether it be the family or a partner. They may be bossy or controlling in home life. There are control issues that will need to be worked on.

They feel as if they do not control the situation, they will be seen as weak. Often there is great stress when things do not go as planned. There may have been power struggles between the parents, or one of the parents. Additionally, another way this can manifest is that one of the parents was overbearing, manipulative, controlling, jealous, or any variation of those. The child might have felt like he/she was being controlled, so they may want to make up for it in adult life.

In relationships, they may have a tendency to control the partner. This can bring resentments from both sides. They feel that if they do not control the other person, he/she will control them. Again, go back to childhood... In this case, it's best to work on control issues before entering an intimate relationships.

In jobs/careers, they can come across as overbearing and over importance. This can annoy superiors or people in authority.

Trine/Sextile the Asc

Holler.

You know the drill. These are my interpretations of the aspects, and keep in mind that if you have more than one of these, the aspects will be modified.

When really looking at your personality, the whole chart must always be considered. These are just helping tools.

Another note I want to bring up is that the sextile and trine are both similar. That is why I am doing one post on them. A trine is usually the more dynamic of the two and more powerful. The sextile is a little more mellow but the traits do come out. Think of the trine as being more intense. Usually trines are when the two planets are in the same element ( like Sun in Sagittarius and Asc in Aries ) but not always.

Sun trine/sextile the Asc: As long as the sun doesn't make many squares to other planets, these people are usually quite popular and well-liked. Their ego/core personality is harmonious with their outer self/mannerisms. It is said these are good placements for performing arts or sports, or being interested in sports, that is. They may even enjoy watching sports rather than participating in them.

There is a flair for enthusiasm with this placement. Think of the people who have good spirit, either in school or for work. They like to be proud of their teams or work place.

There is also a friendly flair of competitiveness, either in sports, at school or in the work place. They are not overly competitive. It is a more fun competition. These people are usually fair to others.



Moon trine/sextile the Asc: These people come off as sweet and sensitive. As long as the Moon is not challenged in other ways, they are truly sensitive and catering to the needs of others. I think this is a good placement for retail or food; these people want to please ( but it is not based upon their own personal security ) and want people to be happy. That is why service jobs earlier in life might be good. Later on in life as they are more professional health care settings or social work settings might be ideal for these people where they can show their sensitivities to others.

These people are intuitive and imaginative. They come off as being good friends and sometimes like they won't do anything wrong. Ever. ( Do not assume. Everyone is capable of being mean, even these people ).

In most cases, these people just like to be away from drama. Drama is not for them. They prefer to be in harmony with other people and do not want to hurt others feelings. It is easy for them to feel hurt by others. If the environment is too negative they pick up the feelings easily.

Generally speaking, they do not come off as overemotional or oversensitive, but sensitive enough. I think this is a good position to have, especially when you want to make new friends.



Mercury trine/sextile the Asc: It is easy for these people to communicate well with others and get their point across. They are straight to the point and like their facts/details. When dealing with other people, they might be a little emotionally dumb at first. They prefer to deal with the outside world with intellect rather than their own emotions.

This is a good position for anyone who likes to debate. These people are able to debate without criticizing other people and they are always well informed on the topic they are debating for. Usually they are fair minded and logical, allowing the other person to make his/her case. ( Unless there is a stressful Mercury-Pluto, Mercury-Mars aspect ).

These people come off as smart and maybe even intelligent. They are good with words, either in speaking or writing. They could come off as good writers, or someone interested in reading and writing. These are people come off as book smart. They like their facts. Unless they have a strong Jupiter/Uranus, or Mercury-Jupiter or Uranus aspects, they aren't big picture people.



Venus trine/sextile the Asc: Good self worth is key here, unless Venus is making some square aspects. But with this aspect even if there is low self esteem it can easily be fixed.

These people like how they look, no matter if they are conventionally attractive or not. They have inner beauty and know so. They do not necessarily come off as superficial at all, but they do care about how they look. They may enjoy picking out what they are going to wear, what colors, and how their hair looks.

There is an elegance about these people that is hard to miss whether they are men or women. They are cooperative, fair and generally make good friends. They come off as sociable and assertive. They are not passive or aggressive.

There might be issues with overdoing vices, like shopping or eating. Some moderation will be needed, even though it is not as indulgent as the conjunction.



Mars trine/sextile the Asc: These people are enthusiastic about life in general. Sometimes too enthusiastic. Like Sun-Asc aspects, they like sports, either playing the sport or watching the sport. There is a great spirit for the team they like.

They are independent and assertive. These harminous aspects usually do not produce someone who is violent and aggressive. They know how to stand up for themselves without being a total ass. More sensitive people might view them as being jerks/bitches, because they may have a tendency to say exactly what is on their mind.

Some men with these aspects might forcefully be about their independence, pushing women in their life away. They might be seen as being afraid of commitment. This is not to say they actually are. It depends on the guy and what else is going on in their charts.

Most people with these placements like any sort of physical activity, whether it is an actual sport or just running/bike riding. They like to keep themselves in good shape and they usually are. There is also a pronounced thing with eating food quickly and being "on the go." Prone to restlessness at times.

Usually sexually healthy.



Jupiter trine/sextile the Asc: If there is anything these people need to learn it is moderation. There may be some self indulgent streaks with them much like the conjunction except it is less intense and more harminous. There is nothing wrong with liking the good things in life; just do not be wasteful. Some people with these aspects are, indeed, like that: They have nice things and eat good food but do not overdo it.

These people generally possess a sense of optimism and cheerfulness to those they meet. Jovial and humorous are other words as well. They may be generous as well; sometimes spending money on other people when they should not. Usually that does not get out of control though.

Usually well liked, because they are fun to be around and good humored.



Saturn trine/sextile the Asc: They are usually not party animals. People with these aspects may be shy and withdrawn as children but slowly grow out of it. Even as adults, they are introverted and cautious, preferring a few mature people than a bunch of fake ones.

There usually isn't a problem with the trine/sextiles with the Asc, except the fact there might be issues with being more outgoing and "out there."

They come off as serious and responsible even when they are young. They take their responsibilities to heart. There is usually not an indication of being a workahoulic; these people do know how to play well after they work a bit. You must work a little before you play a little.



Uranus trine/sextile the Asc: Again, this is not usually an indication of someone who is weird, bizarre, or "out there." Some may be bizarre or strange, but they probably have other Uranus aspects that suggest this or a strong Aquarius/Uranus presence in their chart.

However, for MOST people with this aspect, they are independent and may be loners, but still have a few good friends. They are able to join groups or clubs for a good cause to help others or just to connect and meet new people.

They are usually genuine people. Some may be trendy, others are not. They wear what they want to wear. They dress in ways because they like to. They really do what they really want to do. I think that is the best way to put it. If they do something, it's because they really want to.

There may be a creative or silly streak with these people as well. Some may be quirky or say things you are uncomfortable with. Generally speaking, they are not so bizarre they are outsiders, but they're the people you go "Oh < insert name here>!"

Neptune trine/sextile the Asc: These people come off as idealistic, sensitive, and creative/artsy. Reading, writing, poetry, music and art are key words here, or at least these people put on a flair they are into that kind of stuff. Even psychology might be an interest of theirs, since they are interested in other people.

There is an interest in other people and their feelings. These people are highly sensitive themselves, but unlike the conjunction or square, there may not be a vulnerability factor here. They may not come off as push overs or oversensitive, like they will melt. I read that some stressful Neptune-Asc aspects can indicate stalkers and other people forming unrealistic expectations about them. This may or may not be the case with these people. Trines/sextiles are usually quite positive.

People with these aspects do want the perfect friendship and relationship. They idealize human relationships to the point they sometimes get disappointed and discouraged. It might be best to find awesome character traits within themselves for them to truly love who they are.

Some people with these aspects might be perfectionists in school, work, or in their appearance. They might think they are ugly when they are not.

It is important to them to see themselves clearly and to work on their talents.



Pluto trine/sextile the Asc: These people are usually highly intuitive about themselves and other people even if they do not directly show it. They know when someone likes them or dislikes them, and try to be aware of their own personal impact to other people.

There is a strong sense of creativity. When there is a creative burst, the person feels the need to finish their projects, whether it is a novel, a work problem, a song, novel, artwork, or a new product ( like for a company ). It can even be something as simple as cooking or anything culinary, or even starting a business on the other extreme.

These people are not overtly intense, unless there are other Pluto aspects, like to the Moon, Mars or Venus. They have depth to them, but not quite as intense or intimidating as the square or conjunction natives.

They are not control freaks ( if they are, that is due to other aspects in the chart, or placements ), but they do like to help people via giving advice and like to help others transform their lives. It is easy for these people to get rid of anything negative in their life and change it for the greater good. In more negative instances, they might be seen as a nuisance. They usually do not force their beliefs on other people, even though they make their beliefs known.
