Composite Saturn in the 9th house 

Composite Saturn in the 9th house indicates the couple takes a mature and serious approach to travel, philosphy and religion. Saturn can indicate commitment and discipline, but also restriction and frustration.

So, in this relationship, the couple could be very disciplined when it comes to their religious or philosophical views, or there could be major differences between them in this sense.

If this is a business partnership, the couple may go on many business trips together. If not, the couple may find traveling together very burdensome.

The couple may feel restricted or strained when they are in a group. The relationship may cause separation and difficulties between the couple and their friends.

In social settings, others may see the couple as a wet blanket.

Composite Saturn in the 12th house

Composite Saturn in the 12th house indicates the couples takes a conservative and mature approach to spirituality and subconscious emotional baggage. The 12th house is the ‘hidden’ house, so the energies of a 12th house planet may not be consciously felt.

Instead, there may be a sense of restriction or guilt that hangs over the relationship, that seems to come out of nowhere.

While the couple might spend a lot of time alone together, which can indicate they feel cut off or isolated as a couple.

The Worst Aspects in Synastry

Earlier, we discussed the best synastry aspects you can find in a astrology compatibility chart.

But what about the ‘bad’ ones? Which synastry aspects are considered detrimental to a relationship? Let’s discuss.

The worst synastry aspects

Sun square Mars, Sun opposite Mars

This aspect is tough to handle , especially those who do not like too much conflict or drama in their relationships. The Sun and Mars are both confrontational and driven planets. so a square aspects between them in synastry can lead to much frustration and ego clashes.

In this couple, competitiveness is taken to a new level. These two may see each other more as enemies rather than partners, and tend to irritate each other easily. At some point, the irritation and conflict may become too much, resulting in a huge blowout.

Moon square Mars, Moon opposite Mars

Hard aspects between one person’s Mars and another person’s Moon indicates petty arguments and hurt feelings. In this relationship, the couple know how to get under each other’s skin.

The Moon person may find the Mars person overly aggressive, rude, and hurtful, while the Mars person thinks the Moon person is overly sensitive and emotional. Indeed, the Moon person is very sensitive to any perceived meanness or aggression from the Mars person, and vice versa. There is a tendency to taking things “the wrong way” in this relationship. It is hard to discuss feelings without hurting each other.

Mars square Mars, Mars opposite Mars

This is another tough aspect. Mars is the planet of energy and action, so when it is in square aspect to another person’s Mars, frustrations and conflicts may feature strongly in the relationship. This couple is very competitive with each other, but not in a healthy way. These two easily irritate and annoy one another, which can make it hard to stay together in the long run.

This aspect also does not bode very well in the bedroom. It shows different likes and dislikes, and dissimilar rhythms and energies.

Sun square Saturn, Sun opposite Saturn

This aspect can be tough in a relationship. The Sun person feels stifled and restricted by the Saturn person, while the Saturn person may feel the Sun person is immature and impractical.

The Sun person may eventually feel they are treated like a child by the Saturn person. For the Saturn person, it can be hard not to criticize the Sun person, for they see the Sun person as childish and irresponsible. This relationship can have a negative effect on the Sun person’s self-esteem in the long run.

Moon square Saturn, Moon opposite Saturn

The square between one person’s Moon and another person’s Saturn indicates emotional distancing and censoring. In this relationship, the Moon person does not feel safe and free to express their emotional needs. Instead, they feel afraid to express themselves to the Saturn person, out of fear the Saturn person will reject or disapprove of the Moon’s feelings.

The Saturn person feels the Moon person is overly sensitive and needy, while the Moon person finds the Saturn person cold and impersonal. In this relationship, the Saturn person probably feels awkward about emotional communication, so they discourage the Moon person from expressing themselves.

Venus square Saturn, Venus opposite Saturn

This is a classic indicator of relationship difficulties. In this relationship, the couple feels awkward expressing their love and affection to each other. This is because the Saturn person tends to discourage the Venus person from doing so. It can be very difficult to understand what each person feels in this relationship.

This aspect also indicates there could be barriers standing in the way of this couple formalizing a partnership. Sometimes differences in cultures, religions, social classes are indicated by this aspect.

Mars square Saturn, Mars opposite Saturn

This aspect is a tough one, and indicates much frustration and conflict in the relationship. The Mars person feels stifled and restricted by the Saturn person, and feel that nothing they do is ‘good enough’ for the Saturn person. Saturn wants to repress the Mars person’s energy and drive, for they find the Mars person very childish, impatient and impulsive.

The Saturn person may frequently get annoyed with the Mars person, while the Mars person finds the Saturn person to be a wet blanket. The Mars person feels they cannot express their assertive side without upsetting Saturn. This aspect can be a recipe for disaster, with both partners feeling frustrated with the other.

Sun square Uranus, Sun opposite Uranus 

Uranus is the planet of freedom and liberation, so when it is square another person’s Sun, it can cause relationship issues. This relationship may have begun very suddenly and unexpectedly.

The Uranus person is generally unreliable and unpredictable when it comes to fulfilling their obligations to the Sun person. In turn, the Sun person might not feel they can rely on the Uranus person in times of need. Something always seems to get in the way of their relationship, and the plans they make together often do not pan out. This relationship has a strong on-off quality, and it can be difficult for these two to settle into a committed partnership.

Venus square Neptune, Venus opposite Neptune

If you have this aspect natally, everyone around your age has their Neptune in square aspect to your Venus.

This aspect can be problematic because of the confusion and deception Neptune tends to bring to a relationship. The Venus person feels the Neptune person is their soulmate, and vice-versa, but there can be difficultly when it comes to committing to each other fully.

When issues arise in this relationship, this couple is likely to ignore conflict and sweet their troubles under the rug. Other may think the couple is not in touch with reality because of their refusal to see the relationship for what it is.

The Venus person (or the Neptune person) projects their ideals on their partner. There may be a tendency to overpromise and underdeliver in this relationship. They see their partner as someone other than who they really are, which can cause issues later one when the rose-colored glasses are removed.

Mars square Pluto, Mars opposite Pluto

At first, this relationship can be quite enthralling and exciting.  The sensual connection between you is off the charts! Over time, however, issues related to power, control, and anger may surface in the relationship.

Mars is the planet of energy, sexual drive and competition. Mars shows our drive and ambition, and how we project our energies. Pluto, on the other hand, is the planet of transformation and power. In this relationship, when the Mars person asserts their will in the relationship, the Pluto person pushes back even harder. Pluto may resort to manipulative games in order to keep the Mars person ‘in line’, which angers the Mars person even more.

In this relationship, strong feelings are evoked on both sides. Each partner really knows how to push each other’s buttons and get under each other’s skin. At worst, this aspect can indicate physical conflict and violence.

The Astrology of Unrequited Love

Unrequited love is a result of many situations, but they usually occur when 1) one person does not feel as strongly for their partner, or 2) something keeps the couple from being together.

These types of relationships are never easy, as at least one or both partner yearn for the other. It can be hard to accept the relationship is over, and you may see that partner as the “one that got away”.

In this article, we go over some major indicators that a relationship may end up in an ‘unrequited love’ scenario.

Saturn in Synastry and Unrequited Love

Aspects to watch out for:

  • One person’s Venus in hard aspect to another person’s Saturn
  • One person’s 7th house ruler in hard aspect to another person’s Saturn

Most of you may have guessed I’d mention Saturn in this article. Saturn is the planet of restriction and realism, as well as maturity and commitment.

When Saturn is well-aspected in a Synastry chart, the couple is likely quite committed and settled with each other. There is a feeling that they can depend on each other, and they feel responsible to one another. Positive Saturn aspects are commonly found in the synastry charts of married couples and long-term relationships, for they act as the ‘glue’ that keep a couple together.

When Saturn is not well-aspected in a Synastry chart, unrequited love can be the result. This is especially true in the case of hard Venus-Saturn synastry aspects, or if either person’s Saturn makes a hard aspect to the other person’s 7th house ruler.

If one person’s Saturn makes a hard aspect to another person’s Venus, barriers to commitment and partnership are indicated. In these relationships, the Saturn person might have some sort of restrictions or obstacles that keep them from being with the Venus person.

For example, perhaps the Saturn person is already in a relationship. If this is the case, the Saturn person is not likely to leave their current partner for the Venus person, as the Saturn person likely feels very responsible to their current relationship.

Another example could be religious or cultural barriers. Perhaps the Saturn persons’ family would not approve of the Venus person due to cultural or religious differences, and that is what keeps the couple from entering a real partnership.

Of course, the Saturn person may simply have inner fears regarding vulnerability and rejection, which keeps them from opening up fully to the Venus person.

I’ve found that couples with Venus-Saturn aspects find it hard to open up and talk to each other about their feelings.  It can feel awkward to be vulnerable with each other, so the couple might avoid those kinds of conversations completely.

Whatever the reason, unrequited love is definitely a possibility when Saturn makes a harsh aspect to Venus in a Synastry chart.

The ruler of the 7th house in hard aspect to another person’s Saturn works similarly to the Venus-Saturn aspect I just mentioned. The 7th house is naturally ruled by Venus, so it also indicates barriers and obstacles to the couple being together.

What is your 7th house ruler?

  • If your 1st house is in Aries, the 7th house ruler is Venus
  • If your 1st house is in Taurus, the 7th house ruler is Pluto
  • If your 1st house is in Gemini, the 7th house ruler is Jupiter
  • If your 1st house is in Cancer, the 7th house ruler is Saturn
  • If your 1st house is in Leo, the 7th house ruler is Uranus
  • If your 1st house is in Virgo, the 7th house ruler is Neptune
  • If your 1st house is in Libra, the 7th house ruler is Mars
  • If your 1st house is in Scorpio, the 7th house ruler is Venus
  • If your 1st house is in Sagittarius, the 7th house ruler is Mercury
  • If your 1st house is in Capricorn, the 7th house ruler is the Moon
  • If your 1st house is in Aquarius, the 7th house ruler is the Sun
  • If your 1st house is in Pisces, the 7th house ruler is Mercury

If someone’s Saturn makes a hard aspect to your 7th house ruler, an unrequited love may be indicated.  In this case, the Saturn person might have internal or external barriers which prevent them from committing fully to you.

Uranus in Synastry and Unrequited Love

Aspects to watch out for:

  • One person’s Venus in hard aspect to another person’s Uranus
  • One person’s 7th house ruler in hard aspect to another person’s Uranus

Uranus can be tricky in synastry, especially when it is aspecting another person’s Venus or 7th house ruler. It indicates the couple likely fell in love quite quickly and suddenly, but the relationship will likely end as suddenly. Uranus is unstable and unpredictable, and tends to prevent a formal commitment from forming.

In many cases, Uranus relationships are downright bizarre, as the Uranus person is too impractical and unstable for the relationship to continue. However, there are instances in which sudden, unexpected external factors prevent the couple from settling down together.

Perhaps the relationship is long distance, so the couple cannot find time to spend extended periods together. Or, perhaps the Uranus person is not fond of commitment, and would rather keep the relationship open in some way.

This might be very hard for the planet person, especially if a formal commitment is what they want. No matter how hard the planet person tries, they cannot ‘tame’ the Uranus person. If the planet person is very in love with the Uranus person, the relationship can be extremely frustrating and may eventually break up.

Unrequited Love in the Composite Chart

Aspects to watch out for:

  • Composite Venus (or 7th house ruler) in hard aspect to Composite Saturn
  • Composite Venus (or 7th house ruler) in hard aspect to Composite Uranus

These aspects in a Composite Chart are major indicators of a relationship that the relationship may not last.

In the case of Venus-Saturn hard aspects in Composite, barriers and obstacles exist in the relationship which prevent the couple from formalizing a commitment. Saturn in hard aspect to the 7th house ruler of the Composite chart works very similarly. External barriers may prevent them from being together, or one person simply may not feel the same way as the other partner.

With Venus-Uranus in the Composite chart, the relationship may be unpredictable or untraditional in some way, and settling down into a formal, traditional partnership might not be in the cards. If one of the partners wants a formal commitment, they may face difficulties due to the unpredictable and erratic nature of Uranus.

Unrequited Love in the Natal Chart

There are some natal aspects which point to someone who experiences unrequited love in their lifetime.

As with Synastry, Saturn aspects to love planets in the natal chart can indicate pain and loss when it comes to love. My ex boyfriend has Venus square Saturn in his natal chart, and he has unfortunately had a lot of pain in his relationship life (though, he does bring a lot of it on himself!).

People with harsh Venus-Saturn aspects in their natal charts may suffer from low self-esteem. They may feel they are unlovable or unworthy of true love, and often marry out of duty and end up in a loveless marriage. Or, it can prevent partnership and commitment completely.

Venus-Saturn folks usually have a strong fear of rejection and do not like appearing vulnerable to others. There may also be external factors that always get in the way of true love.

As a result, they may experience unrequited love. They might tend to fall in love with the ‘wrong’ people, or may even subconsciously choose ‘unavailable’ people because they know the relationship will end eventually.

 

All in all, unrequited love scenarios are very difficult to deal with, particularly when you really want the relationship to work. If you see strong Saturn or Uranus aspects in your synastry or Composite, especially if they make hard aspects to Venus or the ruler of the 7th house, you may end up in an unrequited love situation.

If you find yourself in a relationship like this, please remember that the universe has someone better in store for you.

Composite Mars in the Houses

The Composite Mars represents the energy, passion, and drive of the relationship. It shows how the couple expresses their desires and assert themselves as a unit. The sign that Mars is in will give more information about the nature of this expression.

For example, Mars in Aries may indicate a relationship that is active, competitive, and impulsive. Whereas Mars in Taurus may indicate a relationship that is steady, persistent, and sensual.

The house placement of composite Mars will give information about the area of life where the couple’s desires and actions are focused. The aspects that composite Mars makes to other planets in the composite chart will also give more information about how the couple’s desires and actions are expressed and received.

In this article, we go over how Composite Mars expresses itself in different signs.

Composite Mars in the 1st house

You feel stronger and more assertive as a couple, than as individuals. You bring out each other’s competitive and adventurous side. Others see you as a passionate, action-oriented, energetic couple with plenty of sexual chemistry.

Because the first house represents how we present ourselves to others, this placement indicates the relationship is important to each partner’s sense of self, and how they are seen by others. They may be very focused on making a strong impression on each other, and may be willing to take risks to achieve this.

Composite Mars in the 2nd house

This placement indicates a relationship where energies are concentrated into the acquisition of wealth and material possessions. This is obviously a great place for a business partnership, due to the focus on making money! This couple earns (and perhaps spends) more money when they are together than they do individually.

Composite Mars in the 3rd house

The Composite 3rd house has to do with communications, short trips, siblings and neighbours. This placement indicates the couple will put a lot of energy into their communication. They are not afraid to speak their minds in this relationship, and might even enjoy arguing and debating one another.

They challenge each other’s ideas, which can be quite invigorating for both parties.  They may even say things they do not mean, due to the impatient and impulsive nature of Mars. This aspect also indicates the couple might take many short trips together, and have a lively relationship with siblings and neighbours.

Composite Mars in the 4th house

The Composite 4th house has to do with family, the home, the past, and our innermost feelings. In this relationship, the couple puts much energy to building a home and solid foundation together. There might be conflict or tension with family members with this aspect – it shows family will be a point of tension for the couple.

This can lead to tensions at home between the couple. There may also be disagreements in regards to real estate and interior design. At the same time, the couple’s private life is energetic and invigorating.

Composite Mars in the 5th house

This is a wonderful placement in a Composite Chart. This couple loves to have fun, and puts a lot of effort and energy into doing so! They encourage each other’s self-expression and creativity, so this would be a wonderful aspect for an artistic or otherwise creative couple.

This couple is social, and love playing games and amusing themselves. There may be a strong desire to have children together, as well, and if they do, much of their energy will be spent on them. This placement helps the relationship stay fresh, new and fun.

Composite Mars in the 6th house

The placement of the Composite Mars in the 6th house indicates a relationship in which energies are concentrated into the couple’s daily life and routines. This couple work well together, and accomplish a lot as a team. Each partner will encourage the other to take on better habits, such as healthy eating and exercising.

They might love going to the gym together, and might be quite competitive with each other. One or both partners may feel criticized or belittled in the relationship in some way.

Given the nature of the 6th house, one partner may feel they are putting in more work than the other, or one partner may feel the other is very demanding. It is very important for each person to recognize the other’s efforts, and work together to ensure both partners feel valued and appreciated.

Composite Mars in the 7th house

This aspect indicates a lively relationship that is of great importance to both partners. The couple might argue a lot, especially if the relationship feels imbalanced, but work very hard to keep a balance between in the relationship. They both put a lot of time and energy into this relationship.

They will be open and honest about their feelings about the relationship, and will demand equal time and attention from each other. This aspect can indicate competitiveness between the couple, as well.

Composite Mars in the 8th house

This is a spicy-hot placement. The 8th house has to do with sex, death/rebirth, intimacy and deep transformation, and is naturally ruled by Scorpio. The sexual connection in this couple is very intense and transformative. They will put a lot of energy and effort into pleasing each other, and crave each other sexually. They are demanding of each other, and want to know all of their partner’s inner thoughts and secrets.

A relationship like this is not for the faint of heart; each partner triggers very deep feelings in the other, which can result in some pretty epic arguments (followed up with even better make-up sex!).

Composite Mars in the 9th house

This aspect indicates a focus and concentration of energy into 9th house activities like travel, higher education and philosophy/faith. This couple loves travelling together, and puts a lot of effort and energy into going on adventures together. They enjoy exploring new places and cultures as a couple.

This couple might challenge each other’s worldviews and beliefs. There might be a shared focus on higher learning and education, as well.

Composite Mars in the 10th house

The placement of Mars in the Composite 10th house indicates a shared focus on career and public matters. The couple puts a lot of energy into helping each other reach their goals and attain higher status. This would be a perfect placement for a business partnership.

Working together and achieving goals brings them closer together as a couple. Others see them as a brave, pioneering and dominating couple.

Composite Mars in the 11th house

The placement of Mars in the Composite 11th house indicates a shared focus on friends, groups/clubs, and long-term goals. These two love spending time with friends, and feel much more lively and energetic as a couple when they are in a group.

They might also join groups or clubs together. There might be a shared interest in technology and humanitarian causes.

Composite Mars in the 12th house

This placement can indicate a desire for inner exploration, and a need to understand each other’s motivations and desires. It can also indicate a need for privacy and solitude, as well as a potential for self-sabotage.

The couple may have a strong drive to uncover hidden truths and secrets, but may also struggle with repressed anger and frustration. There may be a focus on spirituality and helping the less fortunate.

Composite Moon in the Houses

The Synastry and Composite are the most important charts in relationship astrology.

In the Composite Chart, the Moon represents how the couple processes and expresses feelings and emotions. It can also indicate the areas where the couple will experience the most drama! It indicates what the couple needs to feel supported and loved.

To properly assess the Moon, we look at the sign, house, and aspects the Moon receives. In this article, we will go over how the Composite Moon behaves in different houses.

Composite Moon in the Houses 

The Composite Moon in the 1st house

This placement indicates a relationship based on feelings and emotions. You feel free to express yourselves in this relationship. You are very tuned in and sensitive to each other’s moods. You truly care about and nurture one another. Others see you as a sweet, yet emotional couple who truly care for one another.

Composite Moon in the 2nd house

This placement indicates a relationship focused on security and stability. Your self-worth is influenced by this relationship, for better or worse. This placement also indicates a shared focus on money and material possessions. This would be a wonderful placement for a working relationship/partnership. There is a shared need for emotional and financial security.

Composite Moon in the 3rd house

This placement indicates a relationship focused on communication. It denotes a marriage of the heart and mind. It is easy for you to verbalize your emotions to each other, but there may also be a tendency to intellectualize your emotions, as well. You derive a lot of emotional security from your conversations with each other. Your siblings and neighbours may be involved in this relationship in some way. You enjoy taking short trips together, and might have shared educational interests.

Composite Moon in the 4th house

The Moon is most comfortable in the 4th house of family, home and childhood. You want to put down roots and start a family together. You feel like ‘family’ to one another, and provide a nurturing environment for the both of you to thrive. Both of your families might have a strong influence over this relationship.  You enjoy spending time at home together, so you may become more reclusive when you are together.

Composite Moon in the 6th house

The two of you may have met at work, or you might end up working together at some point. You are more productive and hard-working together than you are individually.  You encourage each other to make better health decisions. On the downside, this placement can indicate inequality in the relationship; one of you might feel you are doing all the ‘giving’ in the relationship, while the other ‘takes’. Finding a good balance between give and take is imperative.

Composite Moon in the 7th house

This aspect indicates a very close, emotional bond between the couple. They always consider each other’s feelings and needs, and compromise when needed. Equality and fairness are very important in this relationship. This is a very common aspect to see in the charts of married couples, for it shows a true partnership and mutual support and care.

This relationship expands your worldview! You will go on many transformative journeys together. Travel and exploring different cultures bring you closer together. Perhaps your religious or spiritual views are transformed by the other person.

Composite Moon in the 10th house

This placement indicates your relationship is public or ‘on display’ in some way. This is a great aspect for a business partnership in general, as it indicates a couple focused on achievement and building something together. Others see you as a “power couple” and may look up to you as the ideal couple.

Composite Moon in the 11th house

This placement indicates a relationship focused on friendships, causes, and long-term goals. Perhaps you met through friends or a common group or club. You and your partner spend a lot of time with your friends in this relationship, and may even get their input in your relationship. Make sure to not involve your friends too much, as too many voices might cause further issues to you both.

Composite Moon in the 12th house

This placement indicates a relationship in which emotions are hidden or suppressed in some way. It might be difficult to open up to each other emotionally. Like the 6th house Moon, the 12th house can also indicate an unequal relationship, in which one person is giving more than the other. You will highly value your time alone together, and might share an interest spirituality.

Kim and Pete – What Went Wrong?

A few months ago, Kim and Pete broke up after 9 months of dating. From what we know, Pete was Kim’s first relationship following her breakup from Ye.

A lot of us would refer to a relationship like this as a rebound.  Kim spoke very well of Pete, and the pair seemed very happy.

What went wrong?

First of all, we do not have Pete’s birth time. I think he is a Gemini Ascendant, which would definitely help explain how these two got together, but since I’m not sure, I will look more at how their planets interact and where Pete’s planets fall in Kim’s chart. I’m other words, this reading won’t tell the full picture, but will give very helpful clues!

Second of all, I was kind of surprised at how… underwhelming the synastry is between them.

What does Kim and Pete’s Synastry Chart say about their relationship?

To begin, let’s review some of the good things in their synastry.

To begin, Kim is a Libra and Pete is a Scorpio. On face value, this is not the best match. Libras are very social, intellectual people who value beauty and possessions. At their worst, they can be quite vapid and superficial.

Scorpios, on the other hand, detest superficiality. They are deeply emotional people who value authenticity and truthfulness. Thankfully, you can definitely make up for incompatible sun signs with other aspects!

Thankfully, Kim’s Moon makes a beautiful trine aspect to Pete’s Sun, which indicates that Pete feels understood and supported by Kim. Kim feels she can show her vulnerable side to Pete. This aspect points to general compatibility and ‘liking’ each other. This is a great aspect to see in a synastry chart.

Kim’s Venus and Jupiter make sweet sextile aspects to Pete’s Sun, which indicate a close and loving bond.

They like being around each other and get along well. This is strengthened by the fact that Pete’s Jupiter is also conjunct Kim’s Sun; they have a lot of fun together, and she feels more happy and positive when she is with him.

They are very generous to each other and will enjoy traveling together.

Pete’s Venus, Jupiter and Mercury fall in Kim’s 11th house. This means he got along with her friends very well. They love socializing and attending parties together. Her friends love Pete; he fits right in with them.

Another interesting aspect is their Mars conjunction in Kim’s 12th house. The conjunction of their Mars’ shows a high level of physical and sexual attraction.

They are very compatible in this sense. They have similar energy drives and instinctively understand each other’s sexual needs. This aspect can also indicate a healthy competitiveness between them.

Now, for the “bad” stuff…

As I spoke about in my Pete Davidson article, Pete has a Sun/Saturn square in his chart. This means Pete is very hard on himself.

He is very self-critical and may be prone to negative thinking and self-loathing. In combination with his Scorpio energy, he likes being in control.

Kim’s Mercury and Uranus are caught in the crosshairs of this square. This is a big issue for them, as Mercury rules her 7th house of formal partnership.

In other words, these two have many barriers to formalizing a commitment. It can certainly mean distance and conflicting work schedules were to blame, but sometimes Saturnian barriers come from within.

To expand further, Kim may also feel her freedom and individuality was repressed in this relationship in some way.

She may have felt her uniqueness was not appreciated by Pete. She might have felt that Pete was a bit inflexible or controlling at times.

Kim may have also felt she couldn’t communicate well with Pete. This is a big problem, as Kim values communication a lot in her relationships with Gemini on her 7th house cusp.

Kim’s Mercury is conjunct her natal Uranus, which means she has a lot of ‘out of the box’ ideas, but did not feel she could share them with Pete. Perhaps she felt Pete would find her ideas silly or immature, or perhaps Pete interrupted her a lot.

Over time, Kim might have grown more and more self conscious in her communication with Pete. She may have found him overly critical or negative. There may also have been miscommunications leading to petty arguments.

She, on the other hand, was a disruptive, and exciting, force in Pete’s life. He found her very electrifying and different than anyone he had ever dated, but may have also found the relationship destabilizing and challenging. He may have felt his world was upended by her, and he was not in control.

Final Thoughts

Overall, it is not too surprising they did not last. They seem to have a sweet, loving connection, hot sex, and a great social life, but the issues around communication and control likely wouldn’t work for Kim in the long run.

At the same time, Pete may have felt Kim’s life was too superficial, flashy and unpredictable for him. Pete really needs someone stable. He needs someone he can merge and connect deeply with, and who matches his level of romantic intensity.

Based on what I can see, I’d say Pete had stronger feelings for the relationship than Kim did.

Publicly, Pete and Kim have said their busy schedules were responsible for their break up, however, it is my opinion that their connection probably wasn’t strong enough to go the distance anyway.

It is important to note I do not have Pete’s birth time, so I’m unable to fully interpret his side.

Why is Pete Davidson so popular with women? The Irresistible Power of Scorpios

He has dated some of the most beautiful, famous women in the world, and some people cannot seem to understand why.

When people see Pete, they see a tall, slim, goofy comedian. He may not be the best-looking man to some, but there is obviously something very irresistible about him.

Unfortunately, I do not have Pete’s birth time, which will impact my reading a lot. I think he is a Gemini Ascendant, but I will continue the reading without his ascendant.

The Scorpio Man

“I love love. That’s how I grew up. Just my mom, my sister — I didn’t have a man around the house, so I was just like, ‘When am I going to find my Princess Charming?’ That’s all I’ve ever wanted.”

Pete Davidson on relationships

 

So, why is Pete so irresistible? The simple (and easy) answer is he is a Scorpio man.

NO, not all Scorpio men will have the same luck as Pete, but Scorpios are known for being intensely romantic, deeply intimate, and committed in relationships.

Scorpio men often have this “thing” about them, which make them very magnetic and attractive. It does not mean they can get any woman they want, but their intensity and magnetism can really draw you in!

Pete is what I would call a ‘Super Scorpio’. He has his Sun conjunct Pluto in Scorpio, as well as Venus, Mercury and Jupiter conjunct in the same sign.

Pete is a very intense person. He is a funny man, but underneath, he is a well of emotions and depth.

 

“We’re doing really, really good,” she said during a confessional. “Pete said, ‘I’m gonna grow on you, just wait.’ He’s like, he knew. He’s like, ‘I give it four months in and you’re gonna be obsessed.’ And I was like, ‘Okay, we’ll see.'”

Kim Kardashian on Pete Davidson

 

When Pete said Kim would become ‘obsessed’ with him, he likely was speaking from past experiences.

Obsession and Scorpio tend to go hand-in-hand. Scorpios go all-in with their partners and expect the same level of intensity in return.

How do they get you so obsessed?

In my experience, the obsession comes from having someone who is so fixated on you, who shows you so much attention and adoration.

The Scorpio men I’ve dated have not been afraid of say how they feel and knew how to make me feel special. I appreciate their vulnerability and authenticity, which is refreshing in a society full of fakeness, one-upmanship, and game-playing (not that Scorpios don’t’ do this, too – you need to check the full chart!)

 

“My love language, when I’m in a relationship, is I treat the person I’m with like a princess. I try and go as above and beyond as possible, because that’s what you’re supposed to do? If you’re in a relationship with someone, you’re just supposed to make that person feel as special as possible.”

Pete Davidson for PAPER Magazine

“Sometimes when you put so much on someone, it overwhelms them, and then they don’t know if they could come close to that. Or if they can keep up with it. So, it’s very off-putting to some…It’s something I had to learn in a past relationship, which sucked to learn through that person, but it makes you better.”

Pete Davidson on relationships

In love, Scorpios are some of the most attractive and romantic partners. In everything they do, Scorpios put in 100%.

When he takes on a new challenge, he will dive in headfirst and immerse himself in the project. The same goes for relationships.

While some may find his relationship antics a bit odd (i.e. branding a “K” to his chest for his then-girlfriend, Kim Kardashian).

Love-bombing is also a way people describe his relationship style (again, not all Scorpios do this). Of course, this might not appeal to everyone.

 

“I cry a lot. I get into deep conversations. I care about your s—. I like to meet your family. I like to know who you are. And some families are like, ‘Who the f– are you?’ So I’m a lot for certain people. It was just how I was raised.”

Pete Davidson on relationships

 

As I mentioned before, Pete’s vulnerability is also very appealing to some. He is open with his feelings and is not overly concerned with projecting an overly macho or toxic image.

He seems comfortable in his own skin, and this is refreshing to see in today’s world. He also wants to know all of this partner’s secrets.

Scorpio rules deep emotional intimacy and uncovering the truth, so they are known to dive deeply below the surface to uncover the real You.

It can be very difficult to keep secrets from a Scorpio for this reason!

As per those who know him, Pete is a naturally funny person who finds it easy to get along with those around him.

He is a great conversationalist, and knows how to put people at ease, which makes it easy to open up to them.

He is very good at reading people, and is sensitive to the feelings of those he cares for.

 

“I am a hopeless romantic. I believe in true love and I believe in love and I believe being in love is a great thing, and I hope I’m fortunate enough to find that one day.”

Pete Davidson on relationships

 

When a Scorpio man sets his sights on you, you feel like you’re the only one he sees.

This is why the pull of a good Scorpio can be so irresistible – they can make you feel like the most special, loved and adored person in the world when you are with them. Is it really so surprising the ladies love Pete?!

Moon-Venus in Synastry

 

The Moon and Venus are both “feminine” planets. The Moon represents our emotional needs, while Venus represents how we want to be loved. When these two meet in synastry, the connection is so sweet, you’ll get a toothache.

 

When one person’s Moon makes a positive aspect to another person’s Venus, tenderness and affection characterize the relationship. A sense of familiarity and comfort, as well asd a strong emotional connection exists between the couple. This aspect makes it so that you love doing even the most dull, boring tasks with one another; just being with each other makes you feel warm and fuzzy, which makes everything you do together fun and enjoyable.

In fact, the need to physically be close to one another is very strong with this aspect. You have much in common with one another, and are naturally supportive, cooperative and considerate toward each other. As a couple, you emit a sweet, warm energy, which makes others take notice! This aspect also denotes the two of you will want to live and build a family together.

This is especially true of the conjunction, sextile and trine.

 

The square and the opposition, on the other hand, can be a bit more tricky. In this case, you may tend to take each other for granted. Indeed, favors may go unacknowledged and unappreciated. The Moon person may feel undervalued by the Venus person, while the Venus person may feel their self-esteem is being trampled over.

You may have difficultly understanding each other’s moods and feelings. For instance, Venus may feel playful, while the Moon person wants to talk about their problems. At the same time, a considerable attraction to one another is there.
