I agree the sex is more primitive...(which I didn't like)... as a Libran I like equality on all levels of the relationship, certainly don't want to be dragged into the bedroom by my hair!.... Well not EVERY time lol...

This is interesting Quinnie. Vulnerable you say... So the Moon / Mars conjunction leaves the Moon person completely open emotionally. I imagine that could be quite uncomfortable if the Mars person isn't aware of this fact. The Mars person needs to be extra delicate in handling the Moon person emotionally. Seems this would increase intimacy between the two if done properly.

I was not comfortable with the emotional intimacy... it felt more like an aggressive intimacy or a little invasive.

Just to add though that the Moon/Mars conjunction was in Aquarius, so I do think there was emotional immaturity on both parts and most definitely he was learning how to be tender and sensitive.
I on the other hand was learning to be more assertive, and confident with my emotions.

There is a lot of intensity between us, some bad some good, but all intense. I never know how I may feel when I see her. It's the weirdest thing! The vulnerability I experience seems to happen at a deep subconscious level. I always used to explain it by saying that she seems to have access to areas within me were only God should be able to go. It can make one feel a bit... uneasy.

I CAN relate then! I think it was also a soul-mate experience for me, albeit a temporary one. We were better off as friends and yet I don't think we ever could be just friends!

All I can say is it sounds like you have the knowledge to deal with it. She is super-sensitve towards you, its part pf the interaction you share because it's like the cells in your body react to one another. lol

your example shows how important it is to take the whole chart into account.

Having said that, I once knew a guy whose Mars was in SCorpio exactly squaring my Aquarius-Moon.
I thought he was hot beyond words!

But his Scorpio Mars didn`t "hurt" any other planets of mine. It was trine my Juno and trine my Saturn (Grand Trine).

Astrologers generally consider Venus to be the planet of love. This, however, is somewhat misleading. Venus describes the form in which an individual can recognize love or approval. The sign, house and aspects involving the natal Venus can describe the ways in which the person gained appreciation within the family structure. So someone with Venus in Capricorn might be appreciated for her sense of discipline, while someone else with Venus in Cancer was approved for her sensitive and caring nature. Venus, then, is a highly socialized planet, one whose expression doesn't necessarily correspond with our deepest needs, but is a learned value.

Venus is a step towards intimacy, it is the sweet attraction that pulls us towards another person (or him/her towards us). Magnetism, though, is not intimacy; it's not even love. It is important, vital in fact, if a meaningful relationship is going to develop, but relationships primarily built on Venus contacts may not last long or go very deep. Venus is a "horizontal" planet. It has to do with how we reach out to another person or object that attracts us. It does not, however, necessarily reflect our deepest needs. These needs, this pathway to intimacy, falls in the domain of the Moon.

The Moon is the primary feminine archetype in astrology. The relationship with mother is the basis for all future relationships. It was one of total dependency, the only physically necessary relationship in life. We can not exist without mother's presence (at least until birth). Fathers are vital for conception, after that they're optional, albeit desirable.

Closeness, then, comes through the Moon. It comes through connecting with our deepest needs, recognizing them and taking the risk to share them with the person we love. This vulnerability is a key element of intimacy. If we don't let our partner in we live parallel lives, rather than lives of true intimacy.

When we stay at the level of Venus, however, the need to be liked dominates the need to be heard. Closeness requires a willingness to move past the approval level and touch the soul. When we share our deepest feelings, fears and secrets we can open ourselves. Letting the other in is a challenge, particularly for men or women with strong Fire in their charts. Receiving is as much of an art as giving. Working with the Moon means allowing for changes, for inconsistencies. We're not talking about a fixed model of ideal partnership, we're seeking a living relationship between growing and changing human beings.

We can understand Venus as describing what we like, sort of what tastes good to us, but like sweet sugar in the mouth, the pleasure it gives is nice, but might not be very fulfilling. The Moon describes what feeds us. Therefore, it is important that we understand the relationship between Venus and the Moon in our natal charts. If the two are in conflict, extra attention may need to be paid to make sure that pleasure feeds us, rather than leaving us undernourished.

Someone with Venus in Cancer, for example, might appreciate the cozy and caring aspects of a love affair. But if the Moon is in Aries, space for spontaneity must also be included. This person can be very responsive to the partner much of the time (all other chart factors being equal), but suddenly pull away to reclaim her/his individual space. This can lead to confusion for both partners. It's really about addressing two very different needs. The difficulty is that Venus and the Moon are close enough in their natures to mislead us into reading one for the other. Liking and needing are not the same thing. The form of love (Venus) and the substance of emotion (the Moon) may or may not be similar for a given individual.

My own Mars is 2'35 Capricorn.

I did not feel emotionally vulnerable in this relationship. I felt strengthened. His overall energy makes me feel good.
(My Sun 12' Aries is also conjunct his Moon at 13' Aries)

It's very difficult to compare particular aspects. I could see why someone might feel "emotionally vulnerable" when another person's Mars touches their Moon - but probably due to the rest of our synastry.. I didn't feel this way.
