Orbs

Orbs in synastry. I don't get it. Someone help!

Thanks! So it's supposed to be better that the orb is "smaller" like 1 degree or under??

if it's 8-10 deg or under, it's significant.

like, if your a sag 5deg and you meet a guy who is sag at 29deg, there's no sun conjunction even though your suns are in the same sign. you two will be similar but it won't be a strong connection. he'll definitely be a sag but you'll be able to see aspects of one another's decans far more clearly.

so you're both sags but you're first decan, he's 3rd. you're similar but dissimilar.

now if you're 5deg and he's 12deg...there's a difference of 7deg. it's now significant. where you're first and he's 2nd decan, you are now conjunct. his sun and your sun are close enough to astrological "communicate."

the closer you get to 0deg difference, the stronger the conjunction or whatever aspect in synastry. in other words, the power of those planets strengthen, the closer the orb gets to zero and "diminishes" the further you get away.

So, like all of our aspects are 3 deg and under...does that mean it's more intense? Good/Bad

it means that they're all strong, but then you pay attention to what the aspects are.

if you have a strong opposition, that's obviously bad (usually).

if you have a strong conjunction, that's good (usually).

Yeah. Ok. 🙂
Get it now.

Thanks schnookums 😄

No, Libra and I are not together! 😢
(Everyone is so used to us being together they just assume we are... that is so the story of my life.)

We've been going through phases trying to work things out. But I'm at this point where I don't feel like trying anymore.
7 years -- if it was gonna work it would have by now. You know?

I think we need some time of absolutely no contact so we can both mature and find ourselves.
He's got a lot of problems since coming back from Iraq... and I can't fix them for him. He needs to be alone or he won't go get help. I know him too well

Libra and I have even stronger orbs...BUT some of those are squares and oppositions. Haha

Love/Hate relationship?

Yeah 🙂 the same stupid Leo I'm disgustingly infatuated with. Even though I tried to ignore him. I just can't help it. 😢
I'm trying to understand why...I know it must be something in the stars.

why dont you just stop being lazy and google each of the aspects?

Lol I diddd already which is why I asked the question about orbs.

The explanations of the orbs was really fucking confusing. You guys said it better. 🙂

I guess my Mars conjunct his Pluto is why when I'm around him I can't think about anything else but screwing him. 😄

Because she trusts my expertise from what Ive shown long before you were even here tub

🙂 ♥

You were always on about the degrees...I never knew wtf it meant. Haha. You've been saying it for years.

expertise!?!?!

knowledge is power and it doesn't reside in some anal virgo's e-machinations.

This is what I got bri:

Cool. I can't see it right now, but I'll check it when I get home.
Thanks!!!! 🙂
♥♥♥♥♥♥

Getting loaded up on info Bri, so you can whip another helpless man into a Brianafay Frenzy 😉
Knowledge is power!! LOL!
I'm going to buy another Astrology book too so I can really start to understand the intricacies of all the planets, etc. I understand a lot about the Sun, Moon & Venus; but when you get into orbs and all that other stuff, I'm just like, "Oh shiznit."

Oooh have fun. 🙂

Lol I'm trying to convince him.... idk though.
He & I think a lot alike...which is actually confusing. Because neither of us wants to make the first move for anything.

Yeah, I'll be lost at first, but I would like to learn more so I can really f@ck with peoples minds more than I already do now!

It is hard if both people don't want to make the first move; trust me, I know that better than anybody. Some signs are so much stronger than others, and it just comes to a battle of wills when two strong willed signs (and personalities) come together. I'm the first to admit that I hate giving in 😢 I feel they should do what I want to do, and that they should be happy to do it 🙂 NOT to say I don't compromise, but in the beginning they gotta' do some work!

you two have a lot of good aspects within your charts. what you should do however is focus on the negative aspects initially. research each of the squares and oppositions. research the houses for those planets that comprise the square opposition.

the negatives will tell you where you and he are at an impasse and how you can go about rectifying any resistance.

That's a good idea.
There must be something holding it back




Thanks Tubbbbbbsssterrr 🙂

ie, based on the chart the weirdo posted...

Pluto (you) square Moon (him):
What does it mean to your relationship when your natal Pluto is square with your partner's Moon? You will feel sensations of great power and intense assertive or competitive sexual energies in your romantic relationship. This relationship is all about deep emotional transformation. If your romantic partner's Pluto is square your Moon, irrational energies come into play. The intensity of physical sensation and emotional impact you have on each other might surprise you. Unfinished business, issues from past, failed romances, and feelings of possessiveness, could appear with irresistible impact in order to change the way you look at life and love forever.



then you would also research pluto in scorpio along with moon in leo. you'd pay particular attention to moon in leo. there will be a fixed sign connection between these two planets...pluto and the moon. what about moon in leo is bound to piss you the fuck off?

you could take it a step further to look at the decan of his moon in leo. take it another step and look at the house in which his moon in leo falls. how does the moon in ___ house impact him?


if you do this for each of the negative aspects, you will have a clearer understanding of the challenges you will face in your relationship...or why you have yet to get to the point of being in one.

I'm sitting here like ugh I hate initiating. I hate texting him first. I hate inviting him to hang out.
I feel like if he liked me as much as I like him...he'd initiate. But not if he's thinking just like I'm thinking, lol...
which I think it probably what's happening because we are constantly finishing each other's sentences. & we always feel the same way about stuff.

Explain to me how the houses work though... if his mars is in aries.... I would check which house aries is in my chart right?

Which equals to ... both of you are stubborn and don't want to be the first to jump so as not to look like an a $ $ 🙂 EVEN THOUGH, you both (obviously) like one another and dig each other.

@Tubbs/Cali thanks for all of the interesting and insightful info! I learn something new everyday.

I know but I hate rejection (Leo moon)
If I just came out and told him how I felt and asked him if he liked me too...and let's say he does, but he's not that into me, or not as much as I like him... and he tried to lie or be nice about it and be like, "of course..."
I would know he was bullshitting me and I would feel like ew like you need to protect my feelings.

Or what if he was just like "yeah, as a friend"

I would be devastated. Lol

My ascendant is in Leo, so I abhor rejection too, plus combined with my general Taurus nature of not trusting people...umm yeah, I completely understand where you are coming from; however, one of you is going to have to do something or you will be in a holding pattern until one of you is just like, "F@ck it and leaves" OR one of you man's up and just takes the lead. Let the chips fall where they may. When I was younger, I would always think of what the worse thing could happen in any given situation, and if I could live with the worse case scenario, then I would just forge ahead. Don't get me wrong, I TOTALLY get where you are coming from, but sweetie, you are young, so as the Nike ad says, "JUST DO IT!"

Plus, you aren't proposing marriage!
It's like Julia Roberts in "Notting Hill" when she says, "I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her." While you aren't telling him you love him, you are digging him a lot, and no matter what, it's always tough to put your feelings out there to be exposed to rejection, but it happens sometimes, and SOMETIMES they like you too!

which of your houses is his mars in?

Lol omg. It's 6th.


I'm really really bad at Roman Numerals.

do you have any planets in your 6th?

Yah. Jupiter

it's as if mars transits to your 6th house whenever dude is around. so you would research mars transits or mars transits to 6th house as well as mars in the 6th house and mars in virgo.

when his planets are in houses that are favorable (with respect to your chart), they will have a profound impact over you in a positive/soulful way. in houses that they don't do so well in, you will generally feel uneasy/controlled around this person with respect to the issues of that house.



Mars 6th house
Mars in partner's sixth house denotes activity related to the work place or in issues related to health. Often this placement denotes a doctor/patient or a therapist/client sort of relationship. The Mars person tends to be demanding of this partner.
http://www.astrology-numerology.com/synastry-houses.html#Mars<BR>


compare that to...
* Moon transiting the 6th House
This is a good time to make improvements in your personal health and your work environment. Magical work or meditations involving your life experiences with older relatives, coworkers, employees, personal schedules, everyday chores routines, daily obligations, improving yourself, helping others, small animals, pets, health related issues, diets, self improvement, putting things in order and is indicated.
http://www.skyviewzone.com/articles/moontransithouse.htm<BR>


mars in virgo is also a good read too. this is how he will appear to you with respect to 6th house concerns - health and work.


so you would probably feel that he is critical/controlling of you with respect to the above issues. but you also have to take into consideration other elements of your chart. like if your sun/moon was in your 6th house, you'd have to figure out how your sun/moon and his mars interact, then take into account house placements and such. reason being, your sun/moon are far more significant than his mars but eh...

overall, it's as if his sun/moon owns your house and the issues related to that house.

sorry! it's as if his *planet owns your house and the issues related to that house. the more significant the planet, the more it will feel as if he's imposing that house's concerns upon you.

so in the case of his mars, he'd probably critique your diet, your weight, exercise, work ethic, etc... this could be good IF his mars is in a favorable sign and his mars has favorable synastry between your charts (mars conjuncts and trines vs oppositions and squares).

if his mars is in a favorable sign and you have favorable synastry with his mars, then he might inspire you to stay fit, encourage you to eat healthy, be more diligent with respect to work... and you will defer to him because the way he communicates it isn't off putting to you.

if his mars is in an unfavorable sign and you have unfavorable synastry with his mars, then you may feel that his concerns about your weight and diet are hypercritical. he may make you self-conscious with respect health issues. in terms of work, whether it be your actual job or stuff around the house, you may feel that he's nagging/nitpicking. you may resent being told that there's a correct way to do things.

Wait where did mars and virgo come in? Lol I'm so lost.

mars in virgo*

6th house is ruled by....?

Omg. Lol. I'm so brilliant. :X


Got it. 🙂

I don't think it sounds right at all tbh. He's really not that type. He's very laid back.
I might not have his birth time right though. I know it was in the morning for sure. But an hour can make a difference.

His Venus in Cancer really throws me off.
He comes off so LEO with his Sun, moon, and mercury in Leo. (Maybe even rising, though I can't be 100% sure.)


Most of the time he's all loud and outgoing, likes to be in the spotlight, absolute attention whore.
But then again, when you get him alone, he's low-key, gentle, and considerate.
He loves his mom, likes to look at family pictures and reminisce.

He seems open. But he's not. He's very private and guarded.


It's so bizarre. I don't even know how to react to him.

leos are different people in private. nothing like their public personas. public is about pomp and this pretty much exhausts them so when they're home, it's like they're recharging their batteries...real catnaps. the turn from lions to kitties...it's cute. rub his back!!! he will lurve it!

and he probably hasn't exhibited overlays yet because you all aren't dating 😛
