Just Married and Living on Neptune

The young couple whose wedding I attended yesterday have plenty of Neptune aspects in their natal charts and were married when the Sun in Leo was opposing Jupiter along with Neptune and Chiron.

Of course I checked their synastry and found some very interesting parallels between their charts. They both have Moon-Neptune aspects – her Moon conjoins Neptune and his is sextile to it. In his chart, Mercury and Mars are both conjoined Neptune while in hers, Mercury is sextile Neptune and Mars is semi-sextile. They both are dedicated to their religious beliefs and neither of [...]

Saturday Archives: Natal Chart in Synastry – Neptune

Neptune-animated

Neptune-related issues continue to crop up both in my life and in the lives and relationships of friends and clients, so I decided to pull this article on the effect Neptune has in our natal charts for today’s Saturday Archive post. In my personal opinion, Neptune is the most difficult planet to deal with in relationships, because it is so easy to mislead ourselves and others with only the best of intentions and the highest motives.

Neptune is so good at creating illusions and causing us to second-guess ourselves, it’s no wonder this post got put on hold. [...]

Todd and Sarah Palin, Latest Power Couple

Todd and Sarah Palin

If there ever was a couple whose synastry was defined by the inconjunct (150°) aspect, this is it. These are two strong-minded individuals, he with the Sun, Moon, Pluto, and Uranus in Virgo, and she with the Sun, Mars, and Saturn tightly conjunct in Aquarius.

In this instance where we have no good birth times to work with, we can only speculate about their chart wheels and the possibility that Sarah’s Moon may be in late Capricorn rather than early Aquarius. A late Capricorn Moon would be much happier with Todd’s Virgo Moon and Venus-Mars in Cancer, but we [...]

Saturday Archives: Neptune in Synastry . . .

Neptune

Since I’ve been coming across Neptune aspects in the compatibility charts I’ve been working with lately, this is the post I decided to pull from the archives. Neptune has also been a powerful influence in the sky lately too, conjuncting the Full Moon in Aquarius. It does not pay to ignore this subtle but powerful planet.

When I think of Neptune in synastry, the duality of the Neptune experience comes to mind. Neptune is the higher octave of Venus but not often expressed as that. Wandering around in a hall of smoke and mirrors and lots of illusion is [...]

The Synastry of Obsession

Prosperine by Rossetti

Many times we need to choose what the nature of a relationship will be. Will we be friends or lovers?

When the outer planets are dominant in a compatibility chart, we often are drawn into a relationship despite our best intentions. I recently received an email from a young woman asking about her troublesome relationship with a young man, and in the process of looking at their synastry chart, I realized she may have been overwhelmed by the undertows created by the outer planets.

In their natal charts, they both have Moon in Libra and Mercury in Scorpio, indicating [...]
