I like pluto, mars, venus, moon, chiron, juno, lilith, anything in each other's 8th house, 7th house, 1st house, 12th house, anything conjuncting the ascendant...

In my experience sun-jupiter square is fun 😄 the jupiter person likes to make the sun person happy but together, it might be excessive.

(ex: Virgo sun: the mountains are so beautiful. Sagittarius jupiter: let's stop to take photos!

Virgo sun (knows we have an 11 hours drive): okay! *spends one hour taking photos*)

Chiron connections feel instant. You guys get close quickly. It feels like you guys have known each other. But small misunderstandings can easily break you guys apart as well, because the misunderstanding feels like a searing pain. There's so much potential there though, it could lead to great healing for both parties and what feels like filling a void for the chiron person.

The conjunctions are what bring that instant connection.

The sextiles/trines can help the chiron person with their woes.

Squares/opposites can work against it.

Not all chiron synastries are doomed. It really depends on the character and maturity of the person/people involved.

Venus sextile jupiter is great. One person's growth aligns with what another person enjoys. It's fun.

North node aspects feel binding once a relationship has been established. It feels like you guys are going somewhere with your relationship. The planet conjunct the north node would feel like the theme of the relationship.

Moon conjunct or widely conjunct venus feels nice. The more the moon person shows emotion, the more the venus person shows love. In my experience, it usually makes the moon person laugh.

Moon conjunct mars feels like the mars person does what the moon person wants. For example, if aries moon likes things done quick, aries mars will do things quick. The closer the conjunction the more it feels like emotional rape, but that depends on what you're into. 😉 Mars will usually feel like moon is too sensitive or whiney/passive while moon feels mars is selfish and insensitive. Moon turns mars on (whether male or female) and sex can feel primal. Moon would usually feel supercharged in their interaction and would feel it the closer the conjunction.

Moon sextile or trine mars is similar but less intense.

Sun square mars feels competitive.

Anything in the 12th house feels other worldly. There can be deception involved. The 12th house can idealize the planet person, the planet person can do something that appears deceptive unintentionally. There's usually trust issues, a lot of vulnerability, the 12th house can't hide from the planet person. It's crucial that the planet person is an honest and mature individual who has good intentions in mind and is aware of what they're doing, otherwise they can use the 12th house's vulnerabilities to deceive or hurt them either intentionally or unintentionally. The 12th houser can be aware of this and therefore not trust the planet person. The planet person can see the 12th houser's weak spots and want to show them (depending on the planet) where they are lacking. It can be a growth aspect.

If you want to learn more about your aspects with the other person, you can look up each individual aspect online. For example, if you see moon conjunct chiron, you can look up "moon conjuct chiron synastry" on Google and read the cookie cutter definitions and people's experience with them on Lindaland, Astroweekly, etc.

The big aspects are conjunctions, sextiles, trines, squares, and opposites. The small ones are biquintiles, quintiles, inconjunctions/quincunxes, etc.

Astro.com is a great website where you can add asteroids and see a pdf of your synastry aspects. There's also a plethora of charts that you can use. If you use the 'Synastry chart', you can view your and your partner's planets and see where it falls in each other's charts. If you use the 'Synastry chart w. Outer circle', it shows where your partner's planets lay, but not where your planets lay on their chart.

Other websites have synastry readings where they read your aspects right off the bat.
