A while ago I would've said Venus/Mars.. but I've experienced Moon/Mars since - and changed my mind. A Moon/Mars conjunction is *awesome* - so much better than Venus/Mars - both emotionally and sexually.

Mars seems respectful/protective and grown up - when coupled with the Moon.

I enjoy finding patterns, but it's kinda depressing when I realize how predictable I am.

I am right with Stars on this one (theoretically, don't get scared ).

This is another area where the golden rule of look at the whole chart is pertinent. One aspect isn't likely to be better for everyone. On a personal level, it is a question of learning what works best for you.

Just as an example, if you have a hard Moon/Pluto contact, adding a synastry Mars into the mix might lead to experiences not as pleasant as fantastic emotional sex.

Without boring everyone with the intricacies of my chart I'll say my personal vote goes to Venus/Mars contacts. But that doesn't mean it is a rule to apply to everyone, that's just me.

This may be an obvious point, but the aspect can't be expected to do all the work, we have to put in a bit of effort. I'm struggling for a way to say this that isn't crass, but it strikes me as being the astro-equivalent of expecting some man with a huge dong to come along and send you to carnal heaven. You need to put in a bit of work to make it happen, at least for his sake.

Mars/Moon might be good for one person, but not another.

For hard aspect I was thinking more a tight square, such as the person who posted on this forum a while back whose natal chart had a natal Moon Square Pluto. He described an ex whose Mars made that into a t-square. He described the relationship as 'destructive' and wanted to avoid a re-run.

That's just one example and there were other factors at play.

In your case it could work very well, but as an example it is interesting - if they are all conjunct (I don't know if they are) how can you pick? If you have both Moon/Mars and Venus/Mars how can you distinguish?

I am a good example.

I have Moon square Saturn,and so if somebody's Mars conjuncts my Moon,that means that person's Mars squares my Saturn.

Not only that....

I have Moon square the opposition of Saturn and Jupiter-Neptune, and so that person's Mars will be form a t-square with my opposition

Yes I could see how the example you were thinking of could be felt as "destructive".

As to my own example yes they are all conjunct and I forgot an additional Venus in the mix: it goes thus –

My Pluto (26 Virgo) conjunct his Mars (28 Virgo) conjunct my Venus (28 Virgo) conjunct his Sun/Venus (1 Libra) conjunct my Moon (2 Libra). So they cross over signs but are within aspect.

Also the Moon/Mars conjunction is a double whammy as is the Pluto/Mars conjunction, with my Mars conjunct his Moon/Pluto in Leo.

All in all the Venus/Mars conjunction between us might be difficult to pull out of the mix and examine as you say.

It was a heart-throbing, warm, pure love kind of relationship
it ended because I had to move away very far from him...sad

But then we had many other amazing aspects together so I'm not sure if it was just moon-mars though

for eg. i have moon at 4 cancer square mars at 9 libra which is conjunct pluto at 24 libra natally.
not the best aspect to have for emotional calm
adding to the drama my mom has her sun and moon at 4 and 6 aries making it a t-square.
after 20 years of an emotional rollercoaster of an unshakable bond, gotta tell ya all ,

DONT ASK FOR SPARKS LIKE THAT

i cant remember one single day that didnt involve some emotional highride with arguments that drain ur energy.
having said that i am not sure how it would play in synastry. maybe i wont be as attracted having adjusted to the tension of that aspect.
i also have my venus conjunct mars of two of my male cousins.we have great friendship and camararderie, but i never fancied them at all.i have had my friends talk about crushes on distant family members so i know its a possibility that doesnt have to be incestual.

The Sun Rising
by John Donne

Busy old fool, unruly Sun,
Why dost thou thus,
Through windows, and through curtains, call on us?
Must to thy motions lovers' seasons run?
Saucy pedantic wretch, go chide
Late schoolboys, and sour prentices,
Go tell court-huntsmen that the king will ride,
Call country ants to harvest offices,
Love, all alike, no season knows, nor clime,
Nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time.
Thy beams, so reverend and strong
Why shouldst thou think?
I could eclipse and cloud them with a wink,
But that I would not lose her sight so long:
If her eyes have not blinded thine,
Look, and tomorrow late, tell me
Whether both the'Indias of spice and mine
Be where thou leftst them, or lie here with me.
Ask for those kings whom thou saw'st yesterday,
And thou shalt hear: "All here in one bed lay."

She'is all states, and all princes I,
Nothing else is.
Princes do but play us; compar'd to this,
All honour's mimic, all wealth alchemy.
Thou, sun, art half as happy'as we,
In that the world's contracted thus;
Thine age asks ease, and since thy duties be
To warm the world, that's done in warming us.
Shine here to us, and thou art everywhere;
This bed thy centre is, these walls, thy sphere.

I've been the Venus in a Venus/Mars conj.. and the Moon in a Moon/Mars conj..
In both those cases I wasn't the Mars person.. so I don't know if these aspects would play out the same when the girl is the Mars.
Plus like everyone else said - every synastry and experience is different, you can't judge on one aspect alone.

I prefer Moon/Mars.. because Venus/Mars was too "me Tarzan, you Jane" for my liking - too traditional. With Venus in 11th I want something less traditional.

I have been the Mars as well..in a Mars/Venus square - I can't say I was sexually attracted.

I vote: be happy with the good aspects you do have and make the best of it.

Also, though I hate to sound like your old Ma, if you keep banging on about his ex he isn't going to get over her very fast. There's a constant reminder, nagging in his ear!

The longer you are with someone the easier it is to know what buttons to press to get them going. So odds are if you are with him longer, and you take the time to find out what he likes, he will think you are a better lay than her anyway. If he doesn't already. But who cares? She's gone.

Welcome to the forum.

Usually Sun/Moon/Asc are a stronger part of the individual's personality.

Mars conjunct Moon should technically be weaker because she wouldn't display Mars as much as you would display your Sun as Aries energy.. so the Moon guy would feel more at home and trusting of you.. rather than the Mars person.

I have to say that Sun conjunct Moon in the synastry of my girlfriend and me. It's good for feeling that we are a lot alike,having things in common,and easy to find common ground. The conjunction is in Scorpio with her Moon and Saturn in Scorpio and my Sun in Scorpio, so the connection is intense,passionate,sexual,deep,emotional,and sensitive, but also very serious,sober,grounding. My Moon in Pisces trines alls that adding more to the deep,emotional,sensitive connection and eases the restrictiveness of Saturn.

Sun conjunct my Moon wouldn't be good because it would square my opposition of Saturn in Gemini and Jupiter-Neptune in Sagittarius...the woman would feel very miserable with me.

Her Sun,Mercury,and Mars are in my 8th house,and My Sun,Mercury,and Venus are in her 8th house, and that very strong 8th house synastry is very deep,intense,sexual

also my South Mars Node oppose her Venus,and her South Venus Node conjunct my Mars. We even have our Suns aspecting each other's Venus-Mars midpoints too. My Mars conjuncts her Venus/Uranus midpoint. So she and I have strong Venus-Mars energy exchange too. My Sun also aspects her Venus-Pluto midpoint. We have Sun,Mercury,and Venus in 8th in our composite and very Plutonian composite overall including Pluto in 5th trine Venus in 8th and Ascendant.
