Mars Ascendant Synastry

In astrology, Mars represents passion, desire, sexuality, action, and assertiveness, while the Ascendant represents physical appearance, first impressions, and the way we express ourselves to the world. When one person’s Mars makes an aspect to another person’s Ascendant in synastry, it often creates a strong physical attraction and an immediate sense of chemistry.

The Mars person is naturally drawn to the Ascendant person’s appearance, energy, and personality. There can be a strong instinctual attraction between the two people, as if they notice each other immediately. This aspect often creates a relationship that feels lively, passionate, and physically charged.

Mars conjunct Ascendant synastry creates one of the strongest indicators of physical attraction and chemistry between two people. Mars represents passion, desire, sexuality, and action, while the Ascendant represents appearance, personality, and the way we present ourselves to the world.

When one person’s Mars is conjunct another person’s Ascendant, the attraction is often immediate. The Mars person is strongly drawn to the Ascendant person’s appearance, energy, and personality. The Ascendant person may feel noticed, desired, and energized by the Mars person.

This aspect creates a lively and active relationship. The Mars person motivates the Ascendant person to take action, pursue goals, and express themselves more confidently. The Ascendant person, in turn, gives Mars someone to inspire and direct their energy toward.

Sexual chemistry is usually very strong with this aspect. The attraction can feel instinctive and physical, and the couple may feel naturally drawn to one another from the beginning.

The challenge with Mars conjunct Ascendant is that Mars energy can sometimes become too intense. The Mars person may come across as impatient, competitive, or overly assertive, while the Ascendant person may feel pressured or dominated. Learning to respect each other’s independence is important for maintaining harmony.

At its best, this aspect creates a passionate relationship where both people energize and motivate each other.

Mars Sextile Ascendant Synastry

Mars sextile Ascendant synastry creates an easy flow of attraction, motivation, and mutual encouragement. The Mars person is naturally attracted to the Ascendant person’s personality and appearance, while the Ascendant person appreciates the confidence and drive Mars brings into their life.

This aspect creates a relationship where both people encourage each other to take action and pursue their goals. The Mars person helps the Ascendant person become more confident and assertive, while the Ascendant person inspires Mars to express their desires in a positive way.

Sexual chemistry is present, but the energy is usually easier to manage than with the conjunction or harder aspects. There is a playful quality to the attraction, and both people tend to enjoy spending time together.

The couple may enjoy physical activities, adventures, or projects that allow them to work as a team. This aspect supports cooperation while still maintaining excitement and passion.

Mars Trine Ascendant Synastry

Mars trine Ascendant synastry indicates strong physical attraction and natural compatibility. The two people often feel comfortable expressing themselves around each other, and there is usually an immediate sense of familiarity and ease.

The Mars person encourages the Ascendant person to be more confident and take initiative, while the Ascendant person naturally inspires Mars. Together, they can feel like a powerful team who motivate each other to achieve their goals.

This aspect creates strong sexual chemistry without as much tension or conflict as harder Mars-Ascendant aspects. Attraction feels natural rather than forced, and both people tend to appreciate each other’s energy.

The relationship often has an active, adventurous quality. The couple may enjoy trying new things, exercising together, traveling, or pursuing shared ambitions.

The main challenge is that the ease of this aspect can sometimes lead the couple to take the connection for granted. Maintaining excitement and continuing to challenge each other helps keep the relationship vibrant.

Mars Opposite Ascendant Synastry

Mars opposite Ascendant synastry, also known as Mars conjunct Descendant synastry, creates a powerful attraction between two people. The Descendant represents partnerships and the qualities we seek in relationships, making this aspect especially significant for romantic connections.

The Mars person often strongly activates the Ascendant person’s relationship instincts. There can be immediate chemistry, and both people may feel drawn toward each other in a way that is difficult to ignore.

This aspect creates a dynamic and passionate relationship. The Mars person energizes the Ascendant person and encourages them to be more confident and expressive. However, the opposition can also create a strong push-and-pull dynamic.

The Mars person may sometimes try to take control or dominate the relationship, while the Ascendant person may feel challenged to stand up for their own needs. Arguments and competition can occur if both people try to assert themselves at the same time.

When handled positively, this aspect creates a relationship full of passion, motivation, and mutual growth.

Mars Square Ascendant Synastry

Mars square Ascendant synastry creates intense attraction but can also bring significant challenges. The two people may feel strongly drawn to each other, yet they may also trigger each other’s frustrations and insecurities.

The Mars person may find the Ascendant person’s behavior confusing or frustrating, while the Ascendant person may view Mars as too aggressive, impatient, or forceful. Both people may have different approaches to conflict, decision-making, and expressing their desires.

Arguments can happen more frequently because neither person naturally responds to situations in the same way. Ego clashes are possible, and both individuals may feel like they need to defend themselves or prove their point.

Despite the challenges, this aspect creates a lot of energy and passion. The attraction can be powerful, and the relationship rarely feels boring.

The key to working with Mars square Ascendant is learning how to channel the intense energy into shared goals instead of conflict. When both people develop patience and respect, this aspect can create a passionate and motivating connection.

The world was shocked at the announcement that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are in a relationship. I, like many of my peers, dismissed the union as a publicity stunt. However, looking at their synastry, it seems there is more than meets the eye with this pair. Let’s take a look at their synastry…

Kim and Kanye’s Key Synastry Aspects

Kanye’s Gemini Sun and Jupiter conjunct Kim’s Descendant. This, in itself, is one of the most powerful synastry aspects, and is often found in the synastry charts of married couples. Kanye encapsulates what Kim looks for in a mate. As a Sagittiarus Ascendant, Kim is attracted to men with Geminian qualities such as intellectual curiosity and a love of variety. Kanye’s Jupiter infuses her with optimism and prosperity through their union.

Kanye’s Neptune in Sagittarius conjuncts Kim’s Ascendant/Venus conjunction almost exactly. This is another great, and very strong, aspect. In Kanye, Kim sees her soul mate, and tends to overlook his flaws. Kim must take care that she is seeing Kanye for who he is, rather than what she believes him to be.

Kim’s Mars is conjunct Kanye’s Ascendant. In a woman’s chart, her Mars sign reveals what kind of man she is attracted to and what turns her on. With this combination, Kanye’s physical appearance encapsulates Kim’s idea of her “ideal man”.

Kanye’s Sun/Jupiter conjunction opposes Kim’s Venus/Neptune conjunction. Oppositions are powerful aspects in synastry, particularly when they fall along one of the person’s Ascendant/Descendant axis. Kanye’s Sun in opposition to Kim’s Venus is a binding aspect for both parties. Kim adores Kanye, and Kanye finds Kim beautiful and charming. They enjoy socializing and attending parties together.

Kim’s Neptune opposes Kanye’s Sun, so again, we see idealization, this time on the part of Kanye. Once again, Kanye must be careful he is seeing Kim for who she really is, rather than what he believes her to be.

Kanye’s Jupiter opposing Kim’s Venus is a benevolent aspect. Kim gives Kanye the benefit of the doubt and is easy to forgive, while Kanye spoils Kim with gifts and pleasures.

Kanye’s Saturn trines Kim’s Venus, which is a stabilizing aspect. They find it easy to settle into a committed relationship with each other. They are less inclined to feel burdened by this relationship; they feel comfortable in their commitment to each other. This sentiment is reinforced by Kim’s Saturn in trine aspect to Kanye’s Sun. These harmonious Saturn aspects promote longevity and responsibility to each other.

Kanye’s Saturn also conjuncts Kim’s Moon. Again, this is a very stabilizing, binding aspect. Thankfully, this conjunction is not afflicted by other planets. This is an indication of a serious relationship. On the down side, Kim may find Kanye a bit serious or harsh, and may be afraid to express her feelings out of fear of Kanye’s disapproval. Over time, this can lead to emotional distancing due to a feeling of being misunderstood by the Saturn person. Thankfully, these two have “lighter” aspects to even things out.

Kanye’s Venus and Mars oppose Kim’s Sun. This indicates a considerable physical and sexual attraction on Kanye’s part. Kim encapsulates what Kanye finds beautiful and sexy. Kanye’s Mars in opposition to Kim’s Sun can lead to heated conflicts. Kanye’s Venus and Mars are situated in Kim’s fifth house of love, romance, and children (!). Kanye stimulates Kim’s desire for fun and romance, as well as procreation.

Kim’s Venus falls in Kanye’s 4^th house, which serves to stimulate Kanye’s love of home. Kanye loves spending time at home with Kim; with Kim, Kanye feels comfortable, nurtured, and cared for.

Another powerful aspect these two share is Kanye’s North Node conjunct Kim’s Sun, Pluto, Mercury, and Jupiter! Wow! The North Node represents “where we’re going” in this lifetime, while the South Node represents “where we’ve been”.

With Kim, Kanye feels like he is “going somewhere”. Kanye feels a powerful pull towards Kim, which can be exciting, but scary, at the same time! Kim pulls Kanye out of his comfort zone. He grows a lot through this relationship, especially through the lens of personal growth (Sun), transformation and sex (Pluto), intellectual communication (Mercury), and beliefs (Jupiter). However, Kim’s North Node is unaspected (by conjunction or opposition) to Kanye’s planets, so it is Kanye that will benefit most from this union, in terms of his personal growth.

My prediction:

Kim and Kanye have surprisingly wonderful synastry! They have many “soul mate” aspects, and I can see this relationship lasting a long time. Two problems: Kanye’s own chart features a Uranus-Venus opposition, which can indicate a fear of commitment and “settling down”. He is also a Gemini Sun, which adds to his need to “move around” and not be tied down. Indeed, Geminis tend to bore easily! Loyalty (or lack thereof), stability, and predictability might drive a wedge between the couple over itme.

The second problem I see is the amount of *unilateral* nodal connections between Kanye’s North Node and Kim’s Libra Stellium. Depending on Kanye’s stage in life, he might not be ready to embrace his North Node at the present time. His North Node is in Libra, and his South Node is in Aries. His Aries South Node implies that he is preoccupied with himself and his independence. For Kanye, it is always about HIM. Perhaps Kim threatens his sense of independence by stimulating his desire for partnership. Kim might feel like she’s constantly “giving” in the relationship, which can be draining.

Interestingly enough, it looks like Kim and Kanye got together right when transiting Saturn was on his North Node, and on her Libra Stellium.

I think Saturn’s trek through Scorpio, beginning on October 5^th, will be trying for the couple. Saturn will conjunct Kanye’s natal Uranus and oppose his Venus/Mars/Chiron stellium in Taurus near the end of the year, so he may feel the need to break free from Kim. Alternatively, the transit may “mute” these energies and compel him to settle down. Either way, Kim and Kanye are in for some changes, and soon!
