Focus on Moon-to-Moon and Venus-to-Mars connections to gauge emotional chemistry. Hard aspects may reveal friction while soft aspects promote understanding.

What to look at, in order:
1. Moon of each person to the other’s Sun, Moon, Venus, ASC
2. Water/earth complementarity of the Moons
3. Saturn or Pluto on the other’s Moon (security vs. control)
Foundation for every approach: synastry overlays two natal charts through inter-aspects and house overlays (details in Synastry overview).
