Learning about Synastry (1)

I am going to examine my chart and my ex-boyfriend's to see what I can learn about synastry.

Look to Venus in each person's chart to see how each individual approaches,
views, and handles love and relationship.

My venus is in the 10th house - Conjunct Uranus - in Scorpio.
His venus is in the 12th house in Cancer.

When your Venus is in
Cancer,
you look for security and safety in partnership. You are the most
caring and nurturing of lovers. Your lover is likely to be
flattered by your excellent memory for all they say and do—in
some cases, he or she could be intimidated as well! Sincerity from
your partner is important to you, and you are attracted to people
who you consider to be natural and genuine. You are the most intuitive
of lovers, finding it easy to "read" your partner's
character and feelings. As mentioned above, this can be flattering
to many, and cause for concern for others! Which, of course, is
fine by you, because the ideal partner for you is comfortable in
his or her own skin. Anyone threatened by your "feelers"
may not be sincere enough for you!


How You Relate to a Partner
with Venus in Scorpio:
This is considered an easier pairing than most because both of
your Venus signs are in Water. A similar—and familiar—vein to the
quality of your expressions of love can draw you to one another
and make you feel "at home". Both of you take commitment
rather seriously, and neither of you is frivolous with your
feelings and expressions. Your warmth and caring nature will feel
regenerating to your partner, and you sense an all-encompassing
love in your lover that appeals to you. At times, that love can
feel all-consuming, but this doesn't scare you like it would with
some other lovers. In fact, the love you give is rather similar,
and your Venus in Scorpio lover doesn't fear closeness and
intimacy. In fact, he or she lives for it! The attraction between
the two of you is magnetic, deeply felt, and has the potential to
withstand the test of time if other factors in synastry support
it. Both of you tend to be possessive in love, and your memory is
powerful. Communication should be as open as possible, as both of
you tend towards holding silent grudges at times. Your reaction to
hurts is often internalized, while your partner can grow cold and
unresponsive when he or she feels slighted. However, the empathy
that runs between you can soften any hard angles in your
relationship.

square ascendant



Then, determine if Venus makes an aspect to the
other's planets, luminaries, or angles (such as the
Ascendant). When Venus in one chart aspects planets and points in
another, the Venus person tends to get idealized and
romanticized. The person with the contacted planet tends to expect a lot from
Venus.
