Keep in mind that I am a constantly questing Natal Sun Sagittarius (with Mercury and Saturn also in Sag) with my Sun progressing from Capricorn to Aquarius this year (2011). The Sun's progression from one sign to another marks a very important transition in our lives which is why I mention that. I'm sure there is a lot more to say about that, but one of the main things I'm feeling is that I'm losing my anchor - my foundation. I get that feeling a lot these days. The progression will be exact in June - another couple of months.
While my Progressed Sun changing signs was not my original intent of writing today, I think it one of the major factors in this period of change I'm experiencing. Because of a recently made new friend with a man I became to know over the period of four months, and realized he was triggering more than just friendship feelings in me, I found myself doing more in-depth research regarding our shared astrological influences.
I did not realize how powerful someone triggering my 7th House with their Sun & Venus and my 8th House with their Mars & Neptune could be . . . but I realize it now. What the books and articles all tell you, 90% of the time is that the "other person" (him) feels it too. Maybe not in the exact same way, but definitely feels it. I found this not to be the case . . . so far.
I have on my list to continue my quest to continue to research these strange phenomena that caused me to have stronger feelings that I have for anyone since the last significant man I met 25 years ago.
There are so many ways to look at chart comparisons and explanations out there that it boggles the mind. Isn't there a simpler way to determine this, I ask myself? Apparently, there is if we choose to only look at how the planets in each of our charts affect the other ones, or in other words, the inter-chart synastry aspects. This man and I have very few "classic" synastry aspects and I wondered (other than my own individual chart) what this strong draw was I was having.
Okay, time to reveal that I have 01º Scorpio Venus EXACT Conjunct Neptune in my Natal Chart. There are only a few minutes separating these two planets in my natal chart. This conjunction is in my 7th House. This man's Moon is 0º Taurus in exact Opposition to my Venus/Neptune conjunction, which also places his Moon in my 1st House. That is the most exact aspect he and I have between our two charts, so I began to look elsewhere as to why I was feeling more than what one aspect would indicate. These 3 planets mixed together are also very mild in their expression, however we have to note that all three are in the Fixed Signs of Taurus and/or Scorpio – the value and possession Signs and Houses for me as well.
Oh, and just to be clear, my Sun falls in his 1st House, my Venus in his 12th House and my Mars in his 5th House, with my Moon/Jupiter conjunction in his 11th House. While we had fun together, which he fully admitted and I do also, he only sees me as a "friend" . . . a "funny friend". Can someone please tell this guy that telling a woman that is almost like answering in the affirmative the question "does this make my butt look fat?" Although, after much pondering, I know that I would rather be a funny and fun friend than not a friend at all. I do like to be funny and we did have some great times. What he doesn't realize is that his Jupiter is in my also in my 1st House along with his Moon, which makes him funny also.
My point with all of this is that it's all just poochnane. That is a word I made up in the past couple of weeks the meaning of which is: "It doesn't mean anything . . . but really it means everything." There is no reason for anyone to understand that except me but I wanted to write it down. Although, while I looked that word up on the Internet and didn't find anything, I feel as if I've heard that word somewhere before - as non-sensical as it sounds, which is one of the reasons I like it.
I believe relationships are there for us because we all have the need to have meaningful life experiences. I mean basically it's dust to dust in the end for all of us mere mortals, so whatever is meaningful to us in the middle of all of that dusting and yes, also for our soul development, is what relationships are for. There are meant to reveal parts of ourselves . . . to ourselves . . . for the growth of our soul. If it is true that we really do choose the soul we bring to this lifetime with then why do we choose things that make us hurt . . . a lot?
