Moon-Venus Aspects in Synastry
In a couple's synastry, Moon-Venus aspects carry significant weight in terms of long-term attraction. These bonds generally convey peace, generosity , and a natural willingness to build bridges to maintain the connection. Precisely because of this ability to generate a stable emotional climate, they can even soften the tension of more complex aspects within the synastry.

When we talk about astrology, we usually think of the 12 zodiac signs. But there's another way of dividing the sky that more closely follows the rhythm of the Moon: the lunar mansions . This system segments the lunar orbit into 27 or 28 sections , depending on the tradition, and allows for a much more refined, everyday reading of the sky. The Sun to the Zodiacal Signs = The Moon to the Lunar Mansions Just as the zodiac signs organize the Sun's annual journey through the zodiac, the lunar mansions structure the Moon's monthly movement. Just as each Sun... read more

Moon-Mars Aspects in Synastry
Moon-Mars aspects are often vastly underrated in synastry . When thinking about attraction or physical connection, attention often immediately goes to connections like Venus-Mars, considered classic in terms of desire and chemistry. However, aspects between the Moon and Mars can be just as intense (or more so) and surprising in what they can bring to a relationship.

Synastry is an astrological tool that allows us to observe how two people's natal charts interact with each other . By superimposing them, it's possible to analyze the aspects formed between each person's planets, as well as their connections with angles and houses. This reveals points of affinity, areas of tension, potential compatibilities, and challenges to consider within the relationship. Its main utility lies in helping us better understand the dynamics that arise between two people —whether in a romantic, family, friendship, or even work relationship. Synastry doesn't predict the fate of a relationship, but it does show which aspects... read more

When we think about the movement of the planets in astrology, the first thing that usually comes to mind is their longitudinal movement, that is, how they advance through the signs of the zodiac. This horizontal path along the zodiacal band is the basis on which the most well-known aspects are calculated: conjunctions, squares, trines, among others. These are ways of measuring the angular relationships between planets, based on their location along the zodiac. But that's not the only dimension in which the planets move. Let's imagine that their movement isn't just forward or backward in the zodiac, but also... read more

The Lunistice is a very special transit, and we will experience it this 2025. As we can guess from its name, the lunistice is an astronomical phenomenon comparable to the solstice, but starring the Moon. While the solstices occur annually marking the highest or lowest points of the Sun in the sky, the lunistices take place every 18.6 years , when the Moon reaches its maximum declination, either its highest or lowest point in the sky, depending on the hemisphere where we are (don't you know what declination is? The explanation in this post ). In January 2025, the Moon... read more
