Using Astrology To Filter People
The particulars…
Thanks for the comments on post about using astrology to filter people. I thought I’d tell the back story to that and elaborate a bit.
My sister and I have studied astrology since we were kids. Some years ago…maybe fifteen years ago, she made this statement:
“I hate people with Saturn in Sagittarius,” she said.
I looked at her and laughed. ‘Could it be that you’re a Pisces with a Sadge Moon?”
She raised her eyebrow because this had not occurred to her. Classic Pisces oblivion.
See, people with their Saturn in Sagittarius are going to hit my sister’s chart HARD. Not to mention, her Sun and Moon are part of a Grand Cross. So who needs it? Doesn’t it sound like she has enough trouble?
So anyway, I am in similar circumstance. People with Saturn in a certain sign jack up both my Sun and Moon. So think about this…
Say I’m going to date. And I am going on Match.com to do so. And say I know that everyone born in 19** has Saturn slamming my Sun and Moon. Should I pass those profiles up?
In two words, hell yes! What’s the point, maaaaan? To find a partner, right?
Well, do I want a partner who constantly tells me I suck? Probably not! And this is how it is when someone’s Saturn is leaning on your Sun. You try to shine (Sun) and they tamp you down out of fear (Saturn). Sound like fun? Fuck no!
So what about the Moon? Well, that’s even worse. I say I feel bad and what’s Saturn say? “Grow up, you baby!”
::laughs::
Greeeaaaaaat! That’ll help my low mood!
See, I am a Capricorn rising…as is my sister. We have enough fear and chastising going on without needing someone to help us with that!
So here’s the thing…for the people with less knowledge of astrology. Saturn moves slow. If you want to filter like this…well for my purposes, I am only going to date in about a 10 year age range anyway. Saturn has a 28 year cycle. So what that means, is I am only going to box out 1 year of people.
Hear this:
If you are three years older than me, we ain’t goin’ out! Period. And you should be glad of this. You should be glad I know this, because I am sure I would make you as miserable as you’d make me!
And astrology aside, if you’re smart, you filter people anyway. Life is too short to spend it around people who make you feel lousy, don’t you think?

How do you figure out who’s signs are incompatible with yours to begin with?
Do you think there are any exceptions to this at all?
Cool explanation. So, anyone whose Saturn aspects your personal planets should be avoided? Even the “good” aspects such as sextiles or trines? Also, what about people whose Saturn falls on your 5th, 7th or 11th house?
This is very, very interesting, both in terms of filtering out and filtering ~in~. All my life, I have unconsciously filled my life with people born in a certain year range. Over and over, I have attracted and been attracted to these people. Most of the ‘exceptionally good’ people in my life are in that age bracket. I’m gonna have a closer look at the astrology of that. I’m also gonna see if I can pinpoint my ‘baddies’ — what ~they~ have in common, using your leads as clues. Thank you.
no more geminis for me man… no more.
beautiful. Yep!
I have to pipe in and say I agree filtering is a smart idea, but I think it’s more complicated than just cutting out certain years to avoid bad aspects. Example:
Natally, I’ve got Saturn square sun so this energy is going to be with me always. And over the years, I’ve learned on my own how to get what’s good out of the square and not to put up with the crap that comes with it. I’ve had serious relationships with people my age (so their Saturn also squares my sun) and have I let any of them put me down or tell me I suck? No way. And hey, if they want to tell me to grow up, that’s what I want. With a natal Saturn square sun, I don’t want a shoulder to cry on when my chips are down, I don’t want to be coddled. I want those around me to be tough and tell me to step up to the plate because it makes me feel stronger.
It all depends on what you want out of a relationship and what you want to give.
hahaha.. I just drew up a synastry chart on astro.com for my boyfriend and I. We have Mars sq
Hahaha. I just drew up a synastry chart on astro.com for my boyfriend and I. We have Mars sq Mars and his Saturn/Moon is conjunct my Moon - He’s always telling me to “Grow Up” or “Get over it” when I feel sad. You are so right! :X
