from your observation

what placement/aspect in the chart makes people obsessed with someone (not necessarily romantically/sexually) but be extremely interested in every aspect of that person's life, their thoughts and hang on to their every word?

Scorpio moon

but i guess i was also asking:

what do you think is in the chart of these seemingly unremarkable (at least surface-level) people that they are obsessed with?

@Tinnedglass

@LittleStar

or maybe it's a synastry thing

coz the appeal for some is just... lost to me

I'm actually more interested in the object of interest in this case

...coz i don't see it lol

Scorpio moon

Initially. It's like figuring out a code, once you know enough it's harder for that person to keep you interested.

In my personal experience ive found them very hopeful, i mean towards the idea of them being with you. You can tell them very bluntly that you are not interested and yet they will redouble their efforts instead of backing off.

Id say a lot of fixed placements combined with a scorpio/leo moon.

I had this high-school friend with said placements. The girl wasn't interested in him, she just saw him as a friend. But everytime she would let him know of this, he would redouble his efforts and stick around, rejected and all.

I remember asking him why, lecturing him about self-worth and all that, he said real love doesn't fade away when unrequited. After a couple of years she gave in.

They've been married for 7 years already. I am always hoping she values him enough, cause that guy took a lot of blows from her in the process.

I guess the fixed energies of air signs combined with his scorpio moon made him very resilient haha. He is a tough cookie, such a good person.

I have an obsessive personality, and it extended to romantic relationships. I'd get someone stuck in my craw. I would actively try not to obsess, and their face would pop up in my mind while I was trying to eat and make me nauseous.

hmm i can get easily obsessed but i can easily let it go too lol

Idolization?

excellent synastry, especially in certain signs....and Insecurity. Common when young and someone has traits you absolutely love. I'm going to through in neptune here especially.

For some legitimate hardcore obsession/fixation that doesn't fade over time, both Pluto and dark moon Lilth aspected with romantic placements is intense. Ride or die. You just don't give a shit.

Pluto conjunct Venus, Pluto conjunct moon creates obsession in synastry. I had Pluto conjunct Venus 1.02 degrees in synastry with someone and damn near lost my mind. I was Venus.
