Never discount simple things like “nature” in favor of complex astrological techniques or equations…

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.

Skip to part two – Theory vs Reality.

It’s strange how I get working on someone’s chart and it winds up getting broadcast. Invariably something in their chart aspects my Jupiter or vice versa.

In whatever case, I was writing to a gal about her Moon in easy aspect to another person’s Moon and told her that this gives a feeling of a blood connection. I don’t think people realize this.

Your Moon is family. When someone blends into your family…well, think about it.

And think about what it’s like when they don’t.

And think about your own Moon profile and what you are looking for on this level.

This was for a client. I was looking at a potential relationship:

“There is definite affinity and attraction here as well as long term potential provided both parties want that and are willing and interested in overcoming impediment to being with another.  Notice I said “another” not “each other”. This is because the problems that exist are in each individual, rather than something that comes up when the two of them relate…”

It occurred to me this is probably a best case scenario and I’ve never seen it in this light before.  Am I making sense? She’s got challenges and he’s got challenges but they do not necessarily give each other challenges. There is support and stimulation between the charts but they do not burden each other.

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.

What do you make of this? Can others relate? Or is this so obvious and basic astrology?
