But for a person?

No such thing as love at first sight.

It is lust.

The whole concept cheapens the idea of true love between humans.

True love is something developed over time. Love is when you can accept the very worst in a person and still want to be with them and fight for and with them through the worst. Something that can not be determined at first glance, but perhaps within a short amount of time.

I've heard and seen too many stories of "love at first sight" turning into "run at first problem". All of them in fact. Let's see how "love at first sight" works after 50 years, after layoffs, jealousy and real life kicks in, if it gets that far. All long term relationships I have heard (contrary to tv fairy tales) did not start out from first sight/glance.

Actually, love at first site has been scientifically proven by Professor Stephanie Ortigue and her colleagues at Syracuse University, Upstate New York.

Quote from the article: Stephanie Ortigue concludes, “These findings confirm love has a scientific basis.”

Remember In May this year - Triple Mars, Venus, Jupiter Conjunction?

It was square to My Sun/Moon Midpoint and also conjunction Psyche/Cupido midpoint.

I was in a festival in my friend's university.. SKipping to details, when i saw her for the first time in my life nothing happened inside of me. Then 5 minutes later, she was close to me, then i hold her hand(what a bravery) the girl i dont know any of then she stared at me like 10 seconds and we danced like 5 seconds and then we started to kissing each other for 3 hours. This is "Kiss at first sight" shortly something better than "love at first sight". Her Moon conjuncts My chiron and Sn in 5th house, her jupiter and venus in my 7th house, her mars and sun in 8th house. Our dual cosmodyne synastry point was over 130+.. 30+ was enough for marriage.. NOW after that moment any love at first sight scenarios didnt seem interesting or nice to me because i had sth better even better than movies. watched Romeo and Juliet which Leonardo di caprio played romeo? They had kiss at first sight too but mine was faster . Anyway I think it is such a rare thing to live sth like this... Anyway i dated with her for 2 days then i broke up.. skipping details.... was it love at first sight? probably not but there was a lot of first sight attraction.

Lust at first sight, always.

Hate at first sight, I've had a few.

I prefer to believe this is very real. I don't like to denigrate it as just "infatuation."

I can relate very much. Several years ago I was getting back to work, working with my dad after several years of bad health, no relationship and depression. One day after work dad & I were in a local drug emporium picking up some things before going home and I saw this young lady checker and instantly fell in love with her. She turned out to be way too young (h.s. age - I was about 37), but what I recognized in her was very real. At that time I had a near exact parallel between prog Venus and prog Mars in my chart.

No relationship developed, but that doesn't mean it was not real love. I'm convinced it that it was and that the girl and I probably share a past life connection that was not appropriate to re-activate at this time. I know because it became very urgent and unavoidable for me emotionally and I had to make it a personal spiritual matter to place it into the universe's hands very intentionally, open and asking for it to happen IF it were appropriate. No doors opened and I had to let it go.

I had experienced love at first sight a couple other times about 10-12 years previous in my mid-20s. The second time it was when prog Venus was quincunx (inconjunct) natal Neptune. Pluto was in transit opposite my natal Venus. That time it only resulted in a single date with her, but no relationship.

Love at first sight is overrated. Just because the magic of that moment takes you over does not mean that you must or even can have a relationship with that person. Most people have multiple soul mates. What matters is the ideal that guides your life now and what course it needs to take -- and what personality you've taken on this lifetime as well, possibly what religion/spiritual path.

"Real love" need not prove itself by follow-through for the rest of your life. Sometimes these people come along with divine timing to flood our hearts with Joy. That is good enough by itself.

Honestly there are technically astrological aspects for love at first sight, however, you could argue astrological aspects for anything. As a psychiatric professional, the "love-at-first-sight" concept is dangerous and not healthy since it cannot exist. You can have an intense attraction, have a feeling of déjà vu or an intense first connection but never love. Love is something entirely different and a person cannot truly begin to love someone they know nothing about.

Hi Shop,
The Pluto-Venus synastry can be an indicator for love at first sight. Metaphysically, the resonating of the heart chakras of two people causes love at first sight. It is real.
