libraLiz asks:

“Is it a good thing to date people who have similar charts to yourself? I’m a late Libra rising and I’ve dated another Libra rising and am communicating with a Scorpio rising. Or is it better to look to people who are opposite rising?”

Given a choice, I would go for the person with energy opposite mine but I have Libra so would be looking for balance.

Anyone else?

I am a Cancer with an Aries moon, and I’ve dated a Sag w/Cancer moon, Aries w/Cancer moon, Capricorn w/Cancer moon, and a Leo w/Cap moon. I seem to draw those Cancer moons!
I would never date a Cancer sun sign though. Way too much like me. I find Cancer men very manipulative. But good in bed.

I’d rather date people with similar charts to me. I’d rather have a air/fire moon (I’m a Sag moon) than a water moon that I’d clash with. My rising sign is opposite my Sun sign, so I’m pretty used to that opposite dynamic in general. I tend to hang around Aries/Sag/Scorpio/Libra folks anyway, and I have those in my chart.

I find that I am consistentl attracted to, or attract, people with suns conjunct my rising, or my sun conjunct theirs.

I always seem to seek out someone opposite me, unless it’s someone that has a lot of Scorpio and then it doesn’t matter, I’m heated up.

I’m a Sagittarius sun & moon, Cancer rising. I could never date a Gemini, I’d rather shoot myself. I like dating fixed signs, a lot. Especially Scorpios, I’m not too sure about Leos, it’s a nice chase, but they take too long to give in and I’ve got my pride too. I’m not really sure, I just take what comes along, if I like it, I keep it and if I don’t, adios.

My husband and I are sun sign opposites, Leo/Aquarius. My ASC is Scorpio and his is Cancer. I know for a fact that if he didn’t have his moon and ASC in Cancer to balance out the Aquariusness then we probably wouldn’t be married. I definitely need a man who is stable and traditional. He has the perfect mix of need for freedom/individuality and for family and security.

I like a balance I tend to like someone who has some similar aspects/elements/signs but also someone who is my opposite as well. Mixed is good.

I tend to find people who have a similar pluto venus or pluto aspects like me because I like intensity and the same game play but I dont mind opposites or inconjuncts. I tend to have many gemini and aries friends which inconjunct my sun but oppose my mars or venus. Its fun.

All of my deepest, and truly life-altering relationships have been with lovable, affectionate, adorable Sadges. I’ve let every one of them go, but we’re under each other’s skin and they never stray far. They think I sparkle, and I love them for their innocence. In each case, we’re stuck together for life. Devotion is the word that comes to mind.
Scorp Sun, Virgo rising, Pisces moon.

I used to think that I’d prefer someone similar to me, but now I’m not so sure. The funny thing is, the guy I’m involved with at first didn’t look like somebody who would make sense for me at all. An Aquarian with an Aries moon and Venus Mercury in Aquarius: not exactly the picture of a reliable boyfriend, at least not to Venus in Virgo.

shell describes a similar match — I’m a Leo (with Aquarius rising), and he’s Aquarian, and while he does have that Aries moon, his sun, Mercury and Venus are in the 4th house (Cancer).

Aside from all that, his moon is trine Neptune and my Pisces moon is trine Mars.

This information has in part led me to believe that while opposites may attract, it might be just because they have more in common than they realized initially.

My husband and I share the same ascendant, with the same sign on each following houses. Though he is most definitely fire (Sun Aries/Moon Sag) and I air (Aquarius Sun) we have the same view on handling the different areas of life as represented by the houses. It just makes it so much easier when you aren’t arguing about priorities and have a shared sense of values.

LOL! Libra Sun/Moon here married to Aries Sun/Moon. However, like shell I have Scorpio Rising and like stability in my relationships and since he has Saturn opposing his Moon/Jupiter, that makes all the difference.

The best relationships I’ve had were with Libras. My Moon’s in Libra, and it was conjunct their Suns.

I’m married to a Capricorn, his Sun square my Moon, and his Moon is exactly conjunct my Leo Sun.

There’s something to that old belief in Sun/Moon synastry.

i don’t really care, as long as you’re interesting, know your own mind, and are open to different experiences/ideas….
so a bit of positive uranus/aquarius is helpful in my book (probably reflecting my moon or perhaps my saturn/uranus square- unwillingness to have my weirdness slammed _again_) but otherwise i’m not terribly picky.

my biggest pattern is pluto. probably because i’ve been projecting it too much and need to wear it myself. i think that might be part of what i find “interesting.” people who don’t own their own power disturb me. sometimes this includes myself.
