Platonic Synastry (Mars Signs)

Platonic Synastry series because I rarely see this on the internet. I will focus on Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars and Venus. I may or may not add Saturn but I’ll try. The series will kick off with the Sun and how it impacts the major personal planets. Outer planets won’t be involved since these are generational and that’s a different topic to touch at another time. This is not the same as romantic synastry, there are many articles and videos on romantic synastry online. The post focuses on friendships only and for this one, it starts off with the impact of personal planets on our Sun in a friend connection. Of course, these are for conjunctions, trines and sextiles, the easy flowing aspects.

Mars / Sun — Sun sees Mars as the competition. In school or work, Sun might either secretly despise and respect Mars. They can reach some levels of compromise but the Mars will rarely sense the envy behind the Sun. This is a position that creates a long lasting competitive relationship. Mars will shine and even when the Sun might reach the summit, they will see Mars as a threat. Especially prominent in Fire and Earth, especially Capricorn. With fire signs, expect them to play lots of sports, express love through hitting each other and yelling at each other as a sign of affection.

Mars / Moon — Mars inspires the moon to take action, to fight for their goals and dreams and to achieve. This can be an influential friend in your life who you, the Moon, want to aspire to someday. The Mars person’s drive can be entrancing and can even make you see them as a celebrity. This would definitely be less intense than Sun and Mars, because the Sun is also a fiery element and they tend to challenge one another. The Moon in this position tends to encourage their friend Mars. Moon behaves like a cheerleader, constantly sending words of care to Mars. This is a very supportive dynamic to have in a relationship without egos being wounded.

Mars / Mercury — Mars fuels Mercury’s mental drive. These two can either be competitors or the best of friends or both. With the smoother aspects, this can make both parties want to succeed more. Their conversations will be fueled with goals, dreams and inspirational stories to get both parties rolling. This aspect creates a great business partnership since both parties are hyper focused on winning. Intellectual discussions can cross towards the gritty as well as the political. All conversational topics are encouraged by both parties.

Mars / Mars – Complimenting Mars signs add a nice friendly competitive nature to this friendship. They can be friendly rivals and at times, they can motivate and inspire one another to reach their goals and successes. With this aspect in friendships, you can see one person boost the confidence of the other through their actions alone. Seeing your friends accomplish and succeed will inspire you to work harder. It is rare that there will be envy between these two, as they sincerely want to the best for their friend.

Mars / Venus – Both parties will be fascinated with one another as Mars learns from Venus and vice versa. Mars will learn the meaning of what is beautiful and will put their own spin on things through their creativity and fashion sense. This is an inspirational aspect  between friends that allows for understanding, growth and occasionally, there can be misunderstandings as Mars and Venus both learn to adapt to one another. Venus admires Mars’ strength and Mars admires Venus’ diplomacy and grace.

Mars / Saturn – Saturn makes Mars think twice before acting out. Mars can respect Saturn or find them to be a bore (as is the case with most Saturn aspects). Here we have a friendship where Saturn can teach Mars to think before they act and to analyze a situation before going in without thinking. Impulsiveness is kept at a minimal when these two are together, as Mars begins to look up to Saturn and even take some social cues. This is a good aspect between friends as it will minimalize any fighting between the two. Saturn will be a mentor and teach Mars how to become more disciplined in the future.

Platonic Synastry (Mercury Signs)

Platonic Synastry series because I rarely see this on the internet. I will focus on Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars and Venus. I may or may not add Saturn but I’ll try.

The post focuses on friendships only and for this one, it starts off with the impact of personal planets on our Sun in a friend connection. Of course, these are for conjunctions, trines and sextiles, the easy flowing aspects.

Mercury / Sun — Conversations between these two are interesting and Mercury brings out the intellectual side of the Sun. This is great for a creative work relationship or a close friendship in a business involved with publishing, art or entertainment. Sun can see Mercury as someone that they can confide in, if they are in Earth or Water elements. The dynamic with Fire and Air can lean towards gossip.

Mercury / Moon – Conversations between these two are intimate and emotionally connecting for both parties. The Moon feels comfortable with Mercury and Mercury may even take on the role of mentor or advisor for the Moon. Here we have friends who will prefer to have important conversations away from the world. They will also be stimulated enough to keep one another’s secrets. There is trust with this connection and an intellectual link that will expound with social connections and even thrive more on the internet. These are friends who will look out for one another as well as post on one another’s social media pages, constantly tagging one another in their stories.

Mercury / Mercury — An intellectual connection between two people that understand one another and are able to relate to similar experiences. This is a dynamic aspect, that allows for both parties to talk nonstop for hours (literally). The favorable trine and sextile can make these two inspire each other to be more creative and to boost up the brain power. This can be a match of equals, who have similar ideals, which allows for them to come up with plans, give thoughtful advice and they can even produce great content if they decide to get involved in creative/entertainment projects.

Mercury / Mars — Mars fuels Mercury’s mental drive. These two can either be competitors or the best of friends or both. With the smoother aspects, this can make both parties want to succeed more. Their conversations will be fueled with goals, dreams and inspirational stories to get both parties rolling. This aspect creates a great business partnership since both parties are hyper focused on winning. Intellectual discussions can cross towards the gritty as well as the political. All conversational topics are encouraged by both parties.

Mercury / Venus — Similar to Mars, Venus inspired but it is on a subtler and more poetic note. I view this as an aspect that enables Mercury to write love stories and they will involve themselves in many romantically inspired projects. On another note, this is also seen within friends that are very inspired by the beauty industry or fashion. Here we see how Venus can impact and even change the mental and creative style of Mercury.  If Mercury was once gloomy, Venus can manifest joy and happiness into their lives, inspiring Mercury to write about this. This is a touching aspect to have amongst friends since it can make both parties feel peaceful.

Mercury / Saturn — Like with most Saturnian aspects, Mercury will feel restricted by Saturn. They will think before they speak, especially if they are the type to blunder and not think before expressing their thoughts. Saturn helps Mercury grow and become more logical in their thought process. Although this aspect involves a malefic, it is still dynamic because it is a teacher and student one. In the long run, Mercury will appreciate all that they have learned from Saturn and Saturn will enjoy imparting their wisdom onto Mercury.

Platonic Synastry (Mercury Signs)

Platonic Synastry series because I rarely see this on the internet. I will focus on Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars and Venus. I may or may not add Saturn but I’ll try. The series will kick off with the Sun and how it impacts the major personal planets.

Mercury / Sun — Conversations between these two are interesting and Mercury brings out the intellectual side of the Sun. This is great for a creative work relationship or a close friendship in a business involved with publishing, art or entertainment. Sun can see Mercury as someone that they can confide in, if they are in Earth or Water elements. The dynamic with Fire and Air can lean towards gossip. These friendships can also be seen over social media, some may spark through there also especially if the Sun is in an Air Sign or Virgo. These are interesting connections and as discussed earlier, if in Air, the friendship will thrive whenever they find information, especially gossip about others. Keeping secrets will be another story.

Mercury / Moon — Conversations between these two are intimate and emotionally connecting for both parties. The Moon feels comfortable with Mercury and Mercury may even take on the role of mentor or advisor for the Moon. Here we have friends who will prefer to have important conversations away from the world. They will also be stimulated enough to keep one another’s secrets. There is trust with this connection and an intellectual link that will expound with social connections and even thrive more on the internet. These are friends who will look out for one another as well as post on one another’s social media pages, constantly tagging one another in their stories.

Mercury / Mercury — Cannot stop talking to one another. These two connect seamlessly as both Mercury signs feels comfortable around one another and can express and bounce ideas with great ease. There could be a conflict of egos as one wants to be intellectually superior to the other. Mental energy always vibrates between the two and if there are Moon aspects, they are able to vibe and feel their connection is on a soul level. A friendship with this connection can last a long time but with moments of radio silence. However, they will surely reconnect when they both hear something developing or an event happening and will reach out to each other to get opinions about what has transpired.

Mercury / Mars — This can be a hate and love friendship. Mercury can either aggravate Mars with their words, making Mars appear like a ticking time bomb. This is a friendship that will need time to mature and refine so that egos are not hurt and Mars can learn to take things less seriously when Mercury speaks or opines. On the flip side, this is a friendship that inspires a lot of learning, especially with the trine and sextile as the conjunction might cause wounded egos in the long run and fights. With the trine and sextile, we can see them both conjuring epic ideas, a great partnership, especially for the creative people to have. These two can even write or create art together that can be inspirational to others as Mars can fuel Mercury’s mind or Mercury can act like a muse for Mars.

Mercury / Venus — Another inspirational friendship for creative folks. Venus becomes Mercury’s muse and can even transform Mercury’s artistic style. This can make Mercury pen beautiful romantic works, even if Mercury prefer to write some horror epics. Or if Mercury has an aggressive attitude, trust that Venus will soothe and ease that out with their persona. This is a nice touch to a friendship and will create a very interesting dynamic. I have this with a friend, she is Mercury and I am Venus and we constantly come up with ideas when we put our minds together.

Mercury / Saturn — Saturn might stifle Mercury’s creative side. Conversations may take on a more serious tone as Mercury would prefer not to offend Saturn, so they tend to walk on glass but with their words. This can also manifest into Mercury taking on a more serious tone if they do work together professionally. Saturn can change Mercury’s artistry by teaching them to be less reckless with their writing. If they are not the creative types, this friendship can definitely teach Mercury to think before they speak whenever Saturn is around. However, Saturn can also see Mercury as a mental handful and might want to discourage them from behaving as such. Both friends will learn a lot from each other as long as they learn to respect the message the other tries to bring to the table.

Platonic Synastry (Moon)

Platonic Synastry

Platonic Synastry series because I rarely see this on the internet. I will focus on Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars and Venus. I may or may not add Saturn but I’ll try. The series will kick off with the Sun and how it impacts the major personal planets. Outer planets won’t be involved since these are generational and that’s a different topic to touch at another time. This is not the same as romantic synastry, there are many articles and videos on romantic synastry online. The post focuses on friendships only and for this one, it starts off with the impact of personal planets on our Sun in a friend connection. Of course, these are for conjunctions, trines and sextiles, the easy flowing aspects.

Moon / Sun — The Sun may initiate a friendship with the Moon, as these two might find one another irresistible in a platonic sense. Sun wants to bring the Moon into their social circles, they want to share and might even see them as a sibling. This is one of those friendships that can start early on and last a really long time. There is a great understanding between these people that will be a mystery to others. Fights are rare amongst them and even if they have some disagreements they can easily forgive one another. A connection that can be stronger than blood. These friends will love the artistic side of things. Expect them at the art events, concerts or just hanging out a lot. There is a strong bond formed here with trust and respect. Friendships for a lifetime.

Moon / Moon – A dynamic connection between two souls that share the same moon sign or have them in the same element. Both are able to understand one another seamlessly. Their connection can feel spiritual, as if the friend is part of their family and they are someone that they can relate or discuss things with. I notice that these are stronger with Virgo Moons meeting one another. They cling to each other with ease and they can even become co-dependent. But the connection can also be intrinsically more powerful with Earth and Water signs in my opinion. Water signs represent emotions and the Moon represents this as she is ruled by Cancer, a water sign. Air Moon Signs have a great dynamic with Fire Moon signs, because of the excitement in the elemental differences. Overall, this placement makes the friendship feel like home, because of the deep understanding between one another.

Moon / Mercury — Conversations between these two are intimate and emotionally connecting for both parties. The Moon feels comfortable with Mercury and Mercury may even take on the role of mentor or advisor for the Moon. Here we have friends who will prefer to have important conversations away from the world. They will also be stimulated enough to keep one another’s secrets. There is trust with this connection and an intellectual link that will expound with social connections and even thrive more on the internet. These are friends who will look out for one another as well as post on one another’s social media pages, constantly tagging one another in their stories.

Moon / Mars — Mars inspires the moon to take action, to fight for their goals and dreams and to achieve. This can be an influential friend in your life who you, the Moon, want to aspire to someday. The Mars person’s drive can be entrancing and can even make you see them as a celebrity. This would definitely be less intense than Sun and Mars, because the Sun is also a fiery element and they tend to challenge one another. The Moon in this position tends to encourage their friend Mars. Moon behaves like a cheerleader, constantly sending words of care to Mars. This is a very supportive dynamic to have in a relationship without egos being wounded.

Moon / Venus — Moon and Venus in a friendship admire one another, respect each other and whatever tensions or fights may erupt will be smoothed over with grace (if all other aspects allow). Moon sees Venus as aesthetically pleasing and Venus sees the Moon as someone they can learn from in terms of style. Here we have the friends who share things emotionally and may even have a spiritual bond. To others this can be a superficial friendship, but in their own world they will see that there are several complicated layers between these two people. Venus helps the Moon to handle their frustrations and brings them some much needed optimism to the Moon’s life. The Moon brings Venus down to Earth and helps her to redefine her views and really look within her heart to find herself.

Moon / Saturn — Saturn will teach the Moon how to be more controlled emotionally. This is a friendship that will have a lasting effect because it will help the Moon to mature and evolve when it comes to how they express themselves. Both parties might be turned off by one another at first, as the Moon will surely see Saturn as a party pooper and Saturn might view the Moon as immature and annoying. With time, they will learn a lot from one another and during the course of this friendship, the Moon will evolve and become more of a Capricorn persona, protecting their emotions but they will learn how to find positive ways to let the pain flow through and out of their hearts. This can be binding for these friends as both will learn a lot in the long run and they will tend to look back on what blossomed between them.

Platonic Synastry (Sun Signs)

Platonic Synastry series because I rarely see this on the internet. I will focus on Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars and Venus. I may or may not add Saturn but I’ll try. The series will kick off with the Sun and how it impacts the major personal planets. Outer planets won’t be involved since these are generational and that’s a different topic to touch at another time.

Sun / Sun – You understand each other because you have some of the same ideals and philosophies. There is a spark in the connection and if the Moon aspects allow, there could be a feeling of solidarity and camaraderie. On the flip side, they can see one another as enemies if they are in Fire placements since competitiveness will strike. As they mature they will continue and appreciate each other. Even if they have a falling out, they will give credit to the other while maintaining a grudge.

Sun / Moon — The Sun may initiate a friendship with the Moon, as these two might find one another irresistible in a platonic sense. Sun wants to bring the Moon into their social circles, they want to share and might even see them as a sibling. A connection that can be stronger than blood. These friends will love the artistic side of things. Expect them at the art events, concerts or just hanging out a lot. There is a strong bond formed here with trust and respect. Friendships for a lifetime.

Sun / Mercury — Conversations between these two are interesting and Mercury brings out the intellectual side of the Sun. This is great for a creative work relationship or a close friendship in a business involved with publishing, art or entertainment. Sun can see Mercury as someone that they can confide in, if they are in Earth or Water elements. The dynamic with Fire and Air can lean towards gossip.

Sun / Mars — Sun sees Mars as the competition. In school or work, Sun might either secretly despise and respect Mars. They can reach some levels of compromise but the Mars will rarely sense the envy behind the Sun. This is a position that creates a long lasting competitive relationship. Mars will shine and even when the Sun might reach the summit, they will see Mars as a threat. Especially prominent in Fire and Earth, especially Capricorn. With fire signs, expect them to play lots of sports, express love through hitting each other and yelling at each other as a sign of affection.

Sun / Venus — Venus will represent and embody everything the Sun wishes that they resembled. Even if Venus is not conventionally beautiful, the Sun will be admire their mannerisms. This is a relationship where both will appreciate the aesthetics of the other and if other placements allow, this will be a comfortable placement for both to have since it brings peace and harmony between both parties. This would be the group of friends with the similar aesthetic. A Libra and Virgo dominant group with Sun and Venus connections would have flawless makeup and style. An Aquarian group would most likely have a more intellectual connection, either a science fiction and technology squad or D&D. (These are examples so dont assume only Libras like makeup and Aquarians like nerdy things).

Sun / Saturn — A mature relationship where the Sun will look up to Saturn but would not be inclined to party with them. Saturn takes on a parental role amongst their friends, this is the one they look up to and may seek advice even if Saturn is a hot mess. Sun will see Saturn as a party pooper or as their Mentor. This is an interesting placement to have between friends. Saturn can also add an air of responsibility to the Sun, especially when the Sun feels like they are spiraling out of control.

Astrological Transits: Outer Planets

Pluto Transits: Pain, challenges and transformations. This is a transit not for the lighthearted. With the conjunction, depending on the house transiting Pluto is in, you will experience a powerful force destabilizing your world. It’s almost as if you are standing along in an unknown area in the darkness and are trying to see which way to go. The square and opposition forced you to face challenges, even if you have been avoiding or prepping for them, they will still feel sudden and painful. This is a time for necessary growth to shape you for years to come. The transits happening in the Angular Houses serve to push us to reach a new level of consciousness. We are no longer the same after dealing with Pluto, there is no turning back. Our new persona wields the strength to face challenges in the future.

Saturn Transits: Mentally crippling, challenging but you end with a powerful tool after the transit. Self discovery and discipline are acquired. Here we are faced with where we have failed to thrive and we learn the harsh lessons after the transit. If we fail, we continue to learn until it sticks to us. This is a transit for growth, introspection and self love. The gifts that you receive will allow for you to not fall back into old patterns. Saturn conjunctions to personal planets make you work. Stopping is not an option, especially when there is a conjunction with the Sun. Venus makes you care about loyalty and self control, Moon restricts you from feeling emotions you have been trying to bury. A Saturn conjunction with Mercury makes you more inclined to think before you speak. Oppositions and squares teach you to learn about balance, self control and organization.

Neptune Transits: A literal dream state. Foggy memory, hard to stay focused and motivated. These transits are pleasant for those who want to escape the real world because they present a glamorized version of reality. The lessons here are to face the hardships, accept the pain you feel and to release thoughts from the past. Stop glamorizing the past and learn to live in the present. Face your fears and tackle challenges with a clear mind and open eyes. This is a transit where you’ll encounter charlatans and when natal Venus is aspected by transiting Neptune, we will idealize most of the people who we may be interested in becoming romantically involved with. It can become challenging when the natal Sun is conjunct, Square or Opposing Neptune because we can become more forgiving towards people who do not deserve it. Learn your limits and set boundaries during this transit. You’ll become more aware of the people around you after it’s over.

Uranus Transits: Unexpected news, relocation, new people. For those who like stability and fear change, this transit can give you a dose of anxiety and fear. This transit helps us to deal with the unexpected. We learn to cut ties, trust our decision making. Uranus alleviates the pressures felt in the House it is transiting. I personally enjoy Uranus transits because it allows you to remove any blockages in energy, paving the way for better things. When it conjuncts your Sun, you feel a burst of energy that is challenging at first because it can feel like you’re in the middle of a storm but once the clouds clear and the rain stops, you see a new and better perspective. The Moon and Venus connections promote change in relationships or overall growth. Mercury allows you to explore new ways of thinking. The Opposition and Square are not as challenging as Pluto and Saturn but if you are against change, it can feel painful. Embrace the changes that come with these Uranus transits that aspect your personal planets because you will look back and be mesmerized with who you’ve become.

Chiron Transits: Chiron is a special one. It is not an outer planet but a comet. It’s influence is very similar to an outer planet because it moves at a slower pace than personal ones. Astrologers will emphasize how Chiron also teaches lessons and allows us to find the perfect path to healing. This transit is filled with heavy energy because it digs deep into our psyche allowing for a new method of processing things we have avoided that have caused us pain in the past. This transit wants you to come face to face with whatever trauma is hidden in the House it is transiting as well as the House it is aspecting with your personal planets. You are pressured to find a form of release or therapy to handling issues. People will go to therapists, seek Yoga instructors or start to write, paint, sing as outlets to clear out their trauma. Chiron teaches us how to live with our failures, our demons and how to confront fears. It tells us what is hidden in the shadows, it shows us what we need to do and it is up to us to find good methods to clearing out trauma. This transit can allow you to become a mentor yourself because you have endured and survived. Expect a new sense of strength and power after the transit. You will feel lighter and freer.

Eros in Synastry

We enter the month of February, with lust, love and passion. The year started with powerful and forward thinking energy that will assist in elevating us both spiritually and subconsciously. Valentine’s day is approaching and Mars will enter sensual Taurus, involving Venusian themes to this tie of year. Venus will be in the sign of Capricorn; a Venus sign I find to be underrated, since Capricorn represents stability and commitment. These two planets making an aspect on Valentines Day inspires us to be more committed, to push forward for a cause and to open our hearts. With the Sun in Aquarius, we will be inspired to take a leap and play with our luck. Eros in Synastry seems appropriate to discuss for this time of year. It is desire, it is passion and love. Eros thrills, scares and creates intense bonds. There is the potential to take things to another realm when the aspects are favorable. It is a love that is not as binding or otherworldly as Valentine but can cause as much passion and desire as Venus.

Eros in Synastry but focusing on the easy aspects such as Trines, Sextiles and Conjunctions. I will make another post on oppositions and squares.

Eros/Sun – Eros feels comfortable with the energy of the Sun. They are able to express their desire because the sun sheds some light on the thoughts of Eros. Here we have an accepting and compassionate relationship. Both parties will feel loved in each other’s presence, making for soothing and loving connections as well as experiences.

Eros/Moon – There is a psychological connection here, a telepathic union as both parties bond emotionally and spiritually. The Moon is Eros’ confidant, as they grow and evolve. Trust grows with time and acceptance as well. It is possible that the Moon encourages Eros to express themselves through creative venues. This is a bond that may seem magical and unbreakable.

Eros/Mercury — When these two forces unite, they will feel a strong connection through communicating. Words take on a new meaning with this synastry aspect. The imagination expands and creative inspiration comes naturally. This is an aspect that can allow for both parties to share without holding back. Words heal, empower and intrigue.

Eros/Venus — Love incarnate here. Passionate and trusting, not clouded in dark desire but tends to promote good intentions. Both parties feel connected and it can even grant them devoted love. Eros desires Venus and Venus clings to Eros, they both need each other, want each other and whenever they connect the spark comes through.

Eros/Mars — Lust and passion for these two powerful forces. Mars pushes Eros to express what they want and need on a physical level. The relationship feels ignited when these two come together. A roller coaster of emotions, the feelings of chaos and the desires that are pushed to the surface. This is tumultuous and exciting but when it all ends it crumbles hard.

Eros/Jupiter — Jupiter understands the needs of Eros and provides a haven for them. Eros sees Jupiter as their confidant and trusts them. This is a union that motivates Eros to express themselves and show their desires. Passions might need to be controlled with this placement, since Jupiter can act like a drug for Eros.

Eros/Neptune — With this bond, Eros feels at peace when in Neptune’s presence. They might feel blinded to the truths and will persist on with their beliefs. Neptune will feel empowered by Eros, who will contribute to some aspects of delusion if both parties persist on seeing things through unrealistic lenses. There is a subtle ache with this placement that feels like a dreamlike fantasy is being lived through by both.

Eros/Pluto — Powerful and transformative as typical Pluto aspects tend to be. Eros is changed by Pluto, their old shell breaks and they take on new philosophies. Here we have both parties who hunger for each other and are not afraid to challenge the other person. Fear is not an option, instead they each promote the evolution of the self.

Eros/Saturn — Saturn teaches Eros about restriction. Eros sees Saturn as a mentor or guardian. The natives both learn to evolve from simple minded desires and they seek new ways to grow and love. This connection involves patience and respect. Both parties transform in a more powerful way than the Pluto connection because it will take many years for the bond to break. The residue follows them even after it all ends.

Eros/Uranus — It is felt with a spark. Uranus is attracted to Eros and sees them as the person that they have desired for. This is a consuming aspect for both since they will be fascinated by one another and every moment they have together serves as a new life changing experience. Eros carves their presence in the mind of Uranus, making them lust for them as time goes on.

Eros/Chiron — Eros grows and heals with Chiron and vice versa. This may feel karmic and painful but both parties appreciate the experience over time. Lessons here will be learned and carried on by both parties. The wonderful thing about this aspect, especially with the conjunction is that love is brought into the lives of both, even if it feels exhausting and draining, eventually both feel fulfilled and transformed.

Eros/Eros* — Explosive since there could be a lot in common between the two. There is a powerful level of understanding and both parties might feel like they have encountered their soulmate. This is a lovely connection, since it helps to grow the love that both share for each other. They desire to be close to each other, they want to promote the best for one another and when they are together, passion blinds them both.

Sagittarius: Ascendant & Personal Planets

Sagittarius Ascendant: Bold, unapologetic and filled with energy. This placement is said to bring luck and good fortune but it can also be a tough position for the native since it becomes harder for them to deal with their own demons and continue to grasp on to hope. Sagittarius Rising is not afraid to express their thoughts. They will be honest with you, they will be blunt and hurtful but this is only because they care for you or they cannot keep their mouths shut. This is the placement of the guru, the teacher and contrary to popular belief, Sagittarius Risings make great leaders. There is compassion here and heart. Jupiter rules them but not because they are lucky, but because they love to have their mind expand. Jupiter gives them the power of knowledge. They appreciate learning and take it seriously. The only negatives are their know it all complex and ruthless demeanor when they are not pleased with people.

Sagittarius Sun: Known for their fun and optimistic nature, these people are naturals at making others feel comfortable. They will make you smile, sing and laugh especially in social settings. The Sun shines in the spotlight, especially when the native has an Air or Fire Rising to push them out. These people will be socially connected because everyone will fall in love with their jovial side but there is also the darkness they keep hidden. The world sees the light but it’s because Sagittarius battles the shadows inside.

Sagittarius Moon: Not afraid to live or die. They can live life recklessly and unapologetically. This is similar to an Aries Moon but more impulsive. Sagittarius here can bring the native with many highs and lows and when they are dealing with the lows they might slip onto some negative things. Make sure to look before you leap, analyze what you are processing emotionally. Do not let fear stop you because you know there is a bright light at the end of the road.

Sagittarius Mercury: Makes for great lawyers since you can embellish any tale and keep others hypnotized with your words. This Mercury can lean towards exaggeration, so it’s best to measure your words when you want to speak the “truth.” A wonderful placement for writers, you will excel easily and this is a great placement for public speaking since you have the confidence to successfully express yourself on front of many.

Sagittarius Mars: A childish Mars. Taurus gets the bad rap for being cringeworthy but Sagittarius Mars have terrible tempers. They react like toddlers when they do not get what they want and can be petty like Scorpios. This is a jokester aspect and can be entertaining to watch them until they feel attacked. However, this Mars does give the native the drive to seamlessly succeed, they just need to keep their temper in check, especially when your Mars falls in a fiery House (1st, 5th and 9th).

Sagittarius Venus: Love here is trusting, nurturing and playful. There are several stages to this person when they are in the courtship phase. Sagittarius will love you at the last stage, when they know who they are with, when they have seen the dark and have shown their partner the light. The connection has to be transcending, almost like a Pisces but in the initial stages, it will feel superficial and playful. Only a patient partner who is able to dig deep will see their true side. Patience is a virtue for those willing to understand because Sagittarius can easily slip away. At the middle stage of the romance, they will open up and when they see the worth in their partner they will hand them their heart in the end.

Venus Retrograde & Harsh Aspects (Opposition and Squares)

Venus Retrograde Aspects

Venus rx square the Ascendant: Take things easy and learn how to relax. This is a time to take on a more observant and analytical approach. If you are not feeling satisfied with the self, use this moment to rekindle that romance or start a new one with you. Venus gives many gifts and if you are willing to embrace the tides of self love, you will be handsomely rewarded.

Venus rx square/opposition to natal Midheaven: The spotlight might feel heavy in this transit, so make sure to think before you speak and act accordingly. Your impulsivity will be toned down if you understand what this retrograde is trying to teach you and you will learn how to master the art of being socially graceful. Your public persona will be met with some challenges but you will thrive afterwards. Don’t be afraid and stay confident in you. Patience is a much needed virtue here.

Venus rx square/opposition to natal IC: Conflicts at home can come about or just within your social circles. Do not fret, this is just a needed shake up that will strengthen your bonds to your roots. Your ideologies relating to your domicile will be changing which can cause others to question or doubt you.
