Emotional Synastry Analysis Instructions

  1. Compare the Moon signs, houses, and aspects of both charts to gauge instinctive compatibility.
  2. Examine Venus placements and mutual aspects for relational style and emotional expression.
  3. Note contacts from one person's Moon to the other's personal planets (Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars) to reveal nurturing dynamics.
  4. Consider planets falling in the partner's 4th, 5th, 7th, and 8th houses for intimacy and bonding potential.
  5. Evaluate water-sign emphasis and the presence of soft aspects for empathy and emotional ease.
  6. Observe challenging aspects such as squares or oppositions involving the Moon, Venus, or Mars for tension triggers.
  7. Look at asteroid Juno or Eros connections for deeper commitment and passion themes.
  8. Summarize how emotional needs can be met or misunderstood and offer guidance for compassionate communication.

Following the book’s method — “pull three datasets from the catalog” (body, aspect, body) and combine them with sign and house — record each contact as:

a (body 1) 1 (sign of a) house of a aspect (operator) b (body 2) 2 (sign of b) house of b orb applying/separating
… … … … … … … … …

Then read: (a + 1)^house(a) × (b + 2)^house(b) = interpretation — i.e., body-in-sign, coloured by house, joined by the aspect’s quality. In Synastry work the bodies come from two different charts (A and B).

Construction reminder: synastry overlays two natal charts through inter-aspects and house overlays.
