nice pic.

Yeah, I get what you say about Colin just appreciating women in general. Got that vibe from him, too, and like that vibe.

BTW I once have registered on Paul Westran`s side for positive astrology and even purchased some reports. The beautiful thing is once you have entered those dates you can play with them a bit, seeing how the progressed synastry develops over time. So, yes, embarassing to say, but I looked up the report for next year when I am going to see Hamlet, just in case, you never know....

Yeah, I can see that Colin is nothing like Rafe. Colin is interesting.

Jude's natal Sun is Conjunct Kerstin's natal Venus — orb is 1.5 deg.

This connection is highly significant in relationship astrology and is one of the main astrological reasons why you were drawn to each other.

This particular connection can be referred to as a Primary Relationship Indicator: it combines two of the most powerful symbols of relationship in astrology, the Sun, which symbolizes our life path and our ideals, with Venus, which rules the manner in which we relate, the values with which we compare ourselves and others, as well as our romantic preferences. The angle of connection is of primary importance and in this case, this is via a harmonious exchange of mutual attraction through similarity and commonality.

This connection is a permanent dynamic of your relationship.

Unless the Venus person in this relationship is an unusually dynamic individual, the Sun person is likely to take the initiative in matters that relate to the relationship.

It is very possible that you were drawn to each other after finding that you share common interests, values and/or aspirations. This is not always a "love at first sight" connection, but it can be "love at first insight" experience.

Many relationships begin under this auspice and its permanent status in the relationship ensures that you will always have the resources it provides to connect, combine and enjoy each other's company. Conjunctions are connections of commonality and similarity - they can be visualized as a couple walking together hand in hand in the same direction. You are likely to combine in a very special way, but you are also likely to follow a pattern which involves coming together in order to unload your experiences onto each other, this is because you "occupy the same space" and conjunctions between the Sun and Venus facilitate this characteristic more markedly than other connections.

The presence of a Sun-Venus conjunction in a relationship is useful, but it is not a panacea for love. The Sun and Venus conjunct can work together well, but its presence in your synastry does not guarantee a long and happy life together - that depends on many other factors - but it is very, very useful. The Sun Venus conjunction is one of the most significant aspects in relationships because it imbues a sense of similarity and teamwork. The safety and warmth of the conjunction suits some temperaments more than others, but, as you find yourself in such a relationship it is likely that it suits both of you.

If this aspect happens twice in this report (between one Sun and one Venus and other Sun and Venus), then the likelihood is that you are romantically very similar and your ideals and values are almost, if not entirely, identical.

You share this connection with the following couples: Will Smith and Jada Pinkett; Sylvester Stallone and Jennifer Flavin, and Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf.

Actually, yeah! Think about it all the time. In fact, my entire thought process centres around you bathing Ralph Fiennes in perfumed bath water.

May I ask which scent you prefer to bathe him in? Oh, and please don't say anything yucky like yours, okay? That's just taking it too far.

---

Now see here, PeaceAngel!!! I smell fabulous, thank you! And you shouldn't think about me bathing Ralph in perfumed bath water anyways. You would have to imagine him in the nude and you would have to imagine me scrubbing his nasty bits. That's not very lady-like.

I'm not sure you would need to bathe him in them to enhance the woody smells from him. Think that may be his natural scent.

Kerstin's natal Venus is Square Jude's progressed Pluto — orb is 1.9 deg.

This is likely to be a very intense relationship and difficult relationship. You may feel uncomfortable with each other for some reason and this will usually come to a head in disagreements about habits, behavior or recreational activities. This might also be a relationship where power is wielded, either in the relationship or through the relationship.

What follows can be a very intense and sometimes complex relationship which can at times feel dangerous, by turn exciting and occasionally it can degenerate into a situation where one of you seeks inordinate control over the other. One or both of you is likely to be changed profoundly by your relationship.

The square of Venus finds it difficult to positively influence Pluto, while Pluto will try very hard to influence Venus. This is likely to be a very intense and sexual relationship with heavy moments as well as light

Jude's natal Venus is Conjunct Kerstin's progressed Neptune — orb is 2.0 deg.

Your relationship has a touch of idealism about it. Everyone has faults and foibles, but you most likely ignore each other's bad habits in favor of 'taking the more positive view'. If this is a hopelessly idealistic situation, then of course it may present problems for one or both of you, but if it feels like magic, then who's to say it isn't? Not this software program, that's for sure.

The conjunction symbolizes the gentle and kind interaction of romantic love with the higher expression of selfless love. You may feel an achingly positive regard for each other and you may become lost in your relationship as angels and nymphs serenade your every interaction. Your relationship is dreamy and idealistic. All you have to do to make it perfect is try to be conventional once in a while. Although you would probably like to gaze into each other's eyes for all time, the world needs you two to focus on practical matters every now and again.

The quintile aspect bears the qualities of creativity and utility. It is rather more beneficial in relationships than some other connections, but in the case of Venus and Neptune it creates a fertile well of imagination. While this can be a good thing in a relationship when channeled well, it can occasionally make you feel like you are in love without having spent a great deal of time with the object of your affection. This is not a criticism, but an observation.

Kerstin's natal Sun is Conjunct Jude's progressed Mars — orb is 1.8 deg.
Sexually, this connection is quite important. Your physical desires are likely to be similar. This is not something you will be aware of until after your relationship has begun, so while it is probably not the factor that brought you together in the first instance it will help your relationship to flourish on the physical level for the time being.

Kerstin's natal Mercury is Conjunct Jude's progressed Mars — orb is 0.9 deg.

Vibrant conversations or sometimes mild irritations are on the cards as Mercury tends to analyze and Mars likes to act, but overall, this can be a stimulating partnership. Progressed conjunctions of Mars are stimulating events in relationships and as such, this is a time of active participation as well as discussion.

For the period of this connection, your sex life may include verbal communication. When Mercury, planet of communication and Mars planet of sex combine, they create pillow talk and bedroom discussions. These are not sweet nothings spoken in soft tones (which is the realm of Venus and Mercury), they are more likely to be significantly more passionate. Progressed aspects, it should be noted tend to be more intensely felt than similar natal aspects.

Jude's progressed Mercury is Conjunct Kerstin's progressed Mercury — orb is 0.3 deg.

This is a meeting of minds. You should communicate well, as you think in similar ways about similar things. Conversations are stimulating, but there doesn't have to be a constant stream of verbiage between you for you to feel comfortable in each others's company. Watching movies and TV shows or listening to music or radio programs together are just as valid for this connection.

And the progressed synastry gets even better, as in 2010 there will be a progressed Sun-Venus-conjunction plus my progressed DSC will be opposing his natal Sun and my natal Venus.

I've just thought of a question for you. If you made a list of all the qualities possessed by your ideal man - how do Jude and Rafe fare?

EDIT: And, if they don't fit the ideal - who does?

---

In all honesty, Ralph fares very high.

I want:

Affectionate
Sensitive
Emotional
Sentimental
Possessive
Introverted
Mysterious
Brooding
Clandestine
Romantic
Intelligent
Intellectual
Passionate
Jealous
Compassionate
Empathetic
Monogamous
NOT Materialistic
NOT a Momma's Boy
NOT Nature-retarded
NOT Distant

I think with Ralph he would have issues with the materialism thing. He seems like he needs praise to feel valuable (which i would have no problem giving with my Venus in Cancer). But i think he would be hard on himself if he didn't get that Oscar, or that Golden Globe. That sort of praise i can't give to him.

Umm, ACTUALLY Ralph is very well endowed thank you very much. Apparently when they were filming Red Dragon, there was this scene where he had to run up the stairs nude and they had to digitally black out his part because they were too BIG and they were a distraction! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!!! Read it and weep baby!!!

your list is interesting. Actually I never did something like that before.

But I guess intelligence / communication skills / humour would be pretty much on top of the list.
Also, warmth, selfconfidence, passion for what he does and how he does it (not limited to the bedroom ).
He should be a singer. ROFL
Okay, Jude doesn`T fit in here, but then again he actually has been singing on one of his films and even starred in a musical when he was young.

I need to feel respect for my man, there has to be something I admire him for. With Jude, I respect his charity work a lot. Definitely.

I can`t surrender. I am too much of an Aqua-Moon and 1st house person for surrendering.

But you thin it`s good?

I thought it is pretty interesting, that the progressed Mercury-Mercury-conjunct is almost exact, especially since it rules both our 7th houses.

posted October 12, 2008 10:57 AM         

Seriously??? Jude doesn't fit your list? Wow... Meta isn't sure what to do with that information...

I don't have a check list that i check off for every attractive person i meet. I simply thought about all of the qualities that i find attractive; all the qualities that are necessary for someone to possess in order for me to be interested in them romantically. And, well, that's my list.

I think PA said it best- I want a male version of me. Which... sounds vain, but it's true. They have to possess similar qualities. They don't have to be EXACTLY like me because i want someone who not only fits me, but challenges me.
