Platonic Synastry (Venus Signs)

Platonic Synastry (Venus Signs)

Platonic Synastry series because I rarely see this on the internet. I will focus on Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus 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.

Venus / Sun — Venus will represent and embody everything the Sun wishes that they resembled. Even if Venus is not conventionally beautiful, the Sun will be admiring them and everything that Venus does will captivate the Sun. 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. Overall, it is synonymous to a 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 don’t assume only Libras like makeup and Aquarians like nerdy things).

Venus / Moon — 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.

Venus / Mercury — Similar to Mars, Venus inspires passion 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.

Venus / Mars – 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.

Venus / Venus – When two people share the same Venus signs it is easier to respect the other person and to admire their aesthetic. Venus brings harmony and having them in the same sign or element makes the friendship much easier to form. Signs that understand one another are able to make both people share more and have an easier method of relating to one another. These signs can easily avoid conflict since they would try the best to preserve harmony. A connection between friends with similar Venus signs can be a source of inspiration. Both parties will be motivated to be more creative as well as feel confident enough to share their creations with the world. This is a platonic synastry aspect that allows for growth in the long run and can create a friendly rivalry built on respect for one another.

Venus / Saturn – Saturn and Venus are connected through respect. The harmonious aspects allow for this to be a friendship that withstands the test of time. Both parties will learn a lot from each other with this platonic connection. The dynamic for Saturn and Venus is that of two professors. Where Saturn brings the rigidity to the connection, Venus reminds Saturn that life should be experiences and enjoyed. There can be instances where Saturn could be the friend that reminds you that there is a moment to come back to reality, but Venus will fight to bring magic and optimism to the harshness. Saturn attempts to remove any superficial ideologies from Venus. However, Venus remains insistent on teaching Saturn that the world needs to be appreciated and live needs to be enjoyed.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Power and Control: Planets, Aspects and Influences in the Zodiac Chart

Mars in the 1^st House – You like being in charge, asserting what you want, and you can be seen as a motivator for others. This is the position of the fearless leader, the unstoppable and the one who will be driven to see things through to the end if all aspects prove favorable. Here we see the entrepreneurs, the go-getters and those who are rarely phased by social criticisms about them. This is the position for someone who constantly hungers for more and their batteries are rarely out.

Mars in the 6^th House – Here we have someone who is not a pushover, who takes on challenges with ease and who does things meticulously, even if the rage of Mars may follow them through work. This is not an aspect for the light hearted, as Mars here challenges and focuses their energy on things that make them passionate. Work will keep you motivated and even if this is a sixth House placement, you will easily catch everyone’s eye at work with just how good you are.

Mars in the 10^th House –Charisma, charm and a workaholic. When Mars is placed here, you like to be in control. There is a power surge that goes through you, especially when you are praised by all. Mars in this position can make you a dictator at work, which will lead to your underlings to fear or respect you. There is a ruthlessness that comes with this placement because the native has worked hard to make it to their position. As with most tenth House placements, the native needs to learn to balance and be more considerate of others. Power comes easy but learn to be responsible with it.

Pluto in the 1^st House – You exude power and control. This placement makes you polarize as people debate either fawning over you or despising you for no apparent reason. Here we see someone who has come to an understanding with their power. Pluto governs the underworld, hidden contracts and exposing truths. These natives had to go through a lot to be in the position they are in today. They hone and control it, while subtly letting others know that they are not to be messed with.

Pluto in the 10^th House – To those with Pluto in the 10^th, it is easy for you to come to terms with positions of power. You accept them gracefully, but you can be unbearable when you have authority over others. The lesson here is to learn to be more compassionate but to command the respect you crave. There needs to be a balance achieved in order for you to succeed, because if you let your power-hungry urges take over, you will self-destruct and start anew.

Tenth House Stellium – The perfectionist is unleashed when there is a Stellium in the House that Saturn governs. It is not a surprise if the native might come across as a control freak, that yearns for the limelight and wants to make it to the top. This is someone who will push themselves from an early age and will try to prove that they are the best. One failure can be heartbreaking to them, but they have the ability to bounce back with greater energy and control. For those with this Stellium, consider it both a curse and a gift. You can easily feel like Icarus, so make sure not to fly too close to the Sun because you can shine brightly on your own and do not need to prove or risk it all to make a point.

Pluto Conjunct the Midheaven – Much like Pluto in the 1^st, this person commands with their presence and can be as polarizing. Beware of becoming infamous because you can easily become a savior and reach the heavens, but your enemies will aim to clip your wings and bring you down to hell. Humility and grace can be a challenge for someone with this position; however, if they do have their wings clipped, they will have a brutal fall and a powerful rise. Like the Phoenix, expect them to reemerge and reclaim their power. They will become stronger and potentially more ruthless the second time around.

Saturn in the 1^st House – Magic comes with this placement because your life might feel like a fairy tale. There is nothing magical in the beginning, just hardship and trials that never seem to end. And then, something randomly shifts, and you are taking control of the situation. Because of the challenges you faced early on, you will be more equipped to tackle things later. You crave stability, which makes you seem power hungry, but in reality, you just want to find your footing and maintain permanence in your life.

Saturn in the 10^th House –The obsessive and hardworking native will have a hard time listening to others who they do not respect. Saturn here makes the native respect authority and will simply tackle any tasks brought to them. This position makes the native obsess with their reputation. Work will fuel them and make them feel needed and secure. Their social standings will be tied in with their work ethic. To those with this position, taking a break may make them feel guilty.

Sun in the 10^th House – An aura that captivates and allures when the Sun is in the tenth House. There will be smooth relationships with people at work. You command respect and represent authority, but in a way that makes people want to approach you. If Mercury is well aspected, you may even inspire with your words as your presence only grows with more power with time. Here we witness a natural leader with the support of their followers and peers to take on the world.

Sun Conjunct the Midheaven – When the Sun is making contact with the MC, this person represents a beacon of hope and can be a light in the hearts of many people. From the beginning of their Elementary School period, the native may have noticed there was something special about them. As time progressed and they entered the realm of higher education, they noticed that connecting and meeting people was easy for them. Those born with this position are at the highest point in their natal chart, so it only makes sense that they will be admired, beloved and adored as they get older.

Saturn Conjunct the Midheaven – Saturn here leaves their legacy for the world. They work hard and represent ambition. This is a position for the revolutionary, not in the way that Uranus promotes, but the type that will remembered decades after. Your work ethic is admirable, even enviable at times. There is a tendency to easily inspire others, especially when you are in positions of power. Saturn here (assuming aspects are favorable) can lead with pride and ethics. In this position, achieving your dreams has been tough but once you have conquered and taken your throne at the summit, only a Divine act can stop you.

Juno: Commitment Asteroid

Juno in Synastry has been another point of fascination for me since I’m diving into the Synastry realm. Juno was the wife of Jupiter. Juno represents how we are in committed relationships, not necessarily marriage but just commitment in general. You can be committed without taking the next steps. Venus is how we are when we are courting or being courted. Juno is the effort we are willing to put into a relationship, what pushes us and what keeps us steady on that ship. It allows us to define what we want in a partner and how they can help us grow. Many astrologers put Juno on a pedestal in Synastry because how your Juno is aspected by your partner will influence the relationship. Personally, I respect Juno but I do not put too much weight on the asteroid but it truly does feel the cherry on top when all other aspects are in sync. I’ve been analyzing synastry charts for almost two years now and there are other stabilizing and powerful forces that matter. Having Juno trine or conjunct your partner’s Juno will be sweet, but it does not mean this will be lasting. The entire chart matters and you can’t just cherry pick an asteroid or your favorite planet. Those harsh aspects or no aspects can make or break the relationship just like a planet falling into a House can have someone run away or feel suffocated.

The following shows Juno in positive aspects (generally trines and sextiles, on rare occasions the conjunction)

Juno/Sun – Juno sees the Sun as someone who will understand them and has the same goals. This is a dynamic aspect and serves to lift one another’s spirits. Juno feels a mood boost from the Sun and a trusting affectionate love emerges betwixt them.

Juno/Moon – My favorite placement. Juno understands the Moon on a psychic level. This can make the relationship flow seamlessly and any disagreements can be smoothed over since Juno will cater to the Moon. Harmony and balance with this placement can be achieved (weird, for a moon placement, huh?)

Juno/Mercury – Not a powerful Synastry connection since the asteroid of commitment is entangled with Mercury. However, in order for any relationship to thrive, you need a good Mercury aspect, and this is wonderful. You feel comfortable enough as Juno to express your thoughts and ideas to Mercury. The Planet person will always be receptive and you both can bounce off ideas. Mercury moves fast, and Juno likes going at a slower pace.

Juno/Venus – A quick connection because Juno is enamored with Venus’ physical beauty. Venus represents their ideal, what they have been seeking. This can be like a fairy tale romance, both parties feel as if they have found “the one.” Very much like the Moon, there is harmony here and mutual understanding. It makes it easier for both parties to commit.

Juno/Mars – Both parties will push each other to pursue their dreams. Nothing will ever stop them, especially after they have expressed that they are devoted to one another. Sex will be transformative here. Never a dull moment after you have both committed to each other. It will function very much like Pluto but with the physical transformations.

Juno/Jupiter – Ideally, this can be considered a soulmate aspect or seeing your partner as “the one.” You both share similar philosophies and beliefs. There is a psychic understanding between you both since you know what makes you comfortable. Learn to trust your partner and embrace the expanding love and trust between you two. This is great for people to express and have mutual philosophies.

Juno/Neptune – Juno has a tendency to forgive or ignore Neptune’s flaws. They will never see their partner for what they truly are or are willing to cover up their tracks. On another level, this can be two people united by a common philosophy, of a more spiritual nature, not like Jupiter’s version. This is the transcending and soul searching one between two people off to a pilgrimage ready to reach a higher power.

Juno/Uranus – A quick and magnetic attraction that can easily come and go as it pleases. This allows for the relationship to maintain both parties interested enough (if all other aspects allow). Uranus does not like the idea of commitment, but he may be fascinated by Juno. She offers something he never knew he may have needed.

Juno/Saturn – I’ve seen this in charts that make no sense as to how people are even linked. The conjunction can force people to feel connected to one person, usually Saturn will move Heaven and Hell to be with Juno. Usually, it shows one person is willing to commit to their partner. Reciprocation in matters of the heart would need to be analyzed in the Juno person’s chart. But generally, this aspect can help form some glue that keeps both parties linked, even when they are no longer together.

Juno/Pluto – This relationship will be consuming and darker. It will uncover deep thoughts lingering in Juno’s psyche. Pluto will empower Juno to take the necessary steps needed to move forward. This is transformative, like most Pluto aspects. It can feel thrilling, exciting but there is a sense of needed caution from Juno. Pluto will guide Juno to the underworld, allowing her to face demons and emerge a Queen.
