From 2007 - Synastry In Real Life: What if two people love each other but have love natures that are not compatible? Is this resolvable?

From 2007…

Hi Elsa, I’ve been noticing lately that when in discussions with friends their Sun sign brings out my house placement. For example my Moon is in Leo in the 4th house. When talking to my Leo sun sign friends we end up always talking about our early families: our parents , our grandparents, aunts and uncles and siblings. Same with Libra ruling my 6th House. With my Libra Sun sign friends we invariably end up talking about our health issues.

There are situations where all the usual astrological techniques are null and void…

Finally we are in 2009! I filmed this yesterday. Never, ever discount simple things like “nature” in favor of complex astrological techniques or equations…

This is from 2008, I have a new one for tomorrow.

I watched this video a few times today. I am memorized by it because I can remember what I was feeling as I was making it. I was in the middle of my Pluto Moon transit and I’d been crying for days.

Crying was usual but you have to just keep moving through so I made this video. It is a continuation on my series on synastry and the limitations of astrology but I took a different tack as you’ll see. I think the it came out rich, emotional and earthy but I am not sure this is apparent.

Synastry techniques are useful but they are like paint. Everything relies on the ability of the astrologer

From 2008, an introduction to a series on synastry: Techniques astrologers use to judge compatibility between charts - Do they work? Theory vs fact.
This is one of 3 videos on this topic. I think I ought to pick it back up so this is my way of trying to prompt myself.

With Uranus in the 7th house, I have a lot of experience with togetherness followed by separateness followed by togetherness and my strong experience is that whatever was there initially will be there when the people reunite and this is for good or ill. You may be able to better manage strong feelings that are conjured up when you reunite with someone but the energy itself will still be there.

For example I feel the same way about the soldier as I did when I was a kid and I feel the same with him too, as far as physically when he is in the room. We fought like a cat and a dog within hours of meeting each other, both yelling at the top of our lungs and we still have bouts like this.

I promised an update to the Grand Crosses and Other Frights series and this is it.  I was in a relationship with a grand cross in the composite, followed by a relationship with a grand trine in the composite.  The 2nd relationship was far more pleasant and this was all I could note at the time.

This brings me to a point I have been meaning to make - Nothing substitutes for experience. You can read until you are blue and it is just not the same as living. Point is I was writing from my experience at the time and now I have more experience.

It was a conversation with another astrologer that prompted these blogs. He wanted to know which method I preferred and I like both.  But there are some things that can’t be accounted for via traditional synastry or looking at a composite. Like for example, what’s up with me and all these Aquarians?

This is my sister on this subject, about 13 years ago. We’re on the phone chatting up the charts of my soon-to-be inlaws:
