a love letter

placements i have been loved<3

leo venus; ok but this one hurts a little. you don't know what real love means if you have never being loved by a leo venus. you can't understand how intense they are. the way the look into your eyes, their tight hugs every time you get separated. the way they try to protect you. it's a real bless being loved by them. but don't hurt them. please don't hurt them. their soul doesn't deserve to be hurt. it's funny how they can't hate you even you hurted them. they can't do it because their love is real. maybe they'll ignore you, pretend they hate you but they don't. for all my leo venuses out there you're amazing and you deserve all the love of the world.

libra venus; to be honest i don't even know if he ever loved me but i have to say what i have felt during this. they make you feel so damn good by just talking to them. they always know what they have to say for making you feel more comfortable, more confident. they give you all of their attention. they make you feel like you're the one. you'll miss them if you stop interact with them. somehow you'll miss them. but they are an air venus right? let them flow as they need. if they really want you they'll come back. trust me they always come back if they really need you.

venus-saturn; oh. they never show how much they love you. never ever. but you can understand it from their actions. always telling you your flows, always talk to you about things you should fix for you own good. maybe sometimes are more cold and discipline than they should. maybe sometimes they can't take love and affection. but don't worry when they love you, you understand it. when you love them they understand it too.

placements i have and how people have experienced my love

aquarius moon; "i think she doesn't even love me" words from my sister, the person i love the most. i think i really do. you don't know how hard we love. you don't know. because we don't show doesn't mean we don't. we feel uncomfortable showing feelings, everyone know that. let's have a secret together okay? if an aquarius moon talks to you everyday immediately understand that they have feelings for you. i don't mean they love you particularly. maybe is just an obsession - don't forget aquarius is fixed sign - but obsession is still a feeling right? i can't remember anyone who i answered everyday without having a type of feelings for them.

moon-pluto; that's why i feel every emotion ten times more than the others. being loved by this placement means intense feelings, possessiveness, obsessiveness and lot of fun. we really getting attached easily. so if a moon-pluto individual loves you be ready for a clingy partner. but this clingy partner needs to have the power in the relationship. they just do. they're generally bossy so they're bossy in relationships too. maybe their fear that the person they love can find someone better terrifies them. be sensual with them.

You know what I'm a slut for? When a character visibly drops a ruse. Like, the way their face changes the moment they give up a facade and reveal themselves.

This applies to revealing love, apathy, anger, evil intent. I mcfuckin love it.

How to Stay Cool Without A/C

A lot of Northerners were very kind during the freeze in Texas this winter with tips on how to stay warm for people who had lost heat. This is an attempt to repay that favor for people in the Pacific Northwest and other northerly locations who are facing dangerous heatwaves without built-in A/C. My qualifications to give this advice are that I was a summer camp attendee and counselor with no A/C for many summers in humid-ass central Texas with highs over 100F basically every day. Hopefully some of it will be of use to somebody who isn’t used to the heat.

1) PUT ICE WATER IN YOUR BODY. Ice water is your best friend and the #1 way to drop your body temp. Drink more than you think you need (like, at least a half-gallon a day and closer to a gallon or more if you have to be outside doing manual work all day) to cool your insides down and stay hydrated. Have some bananas, trail mix, or a sports drink to help replace the electrolytes you’re sweating out and keep you from getting cramps, but try to have most of your fluid intake be water. I used to take a giant water bottle, fill it part way with water, and freeze it on its side so the ice would slowly melt over the course of the day and my water would stay cold longer.

2) PUT ICE WATER ON YOUR BODY. Cold water, ice, or a damp rag on your head and neck, the backs of your knees, the insides of your elbows, and under your armpits will help you cool down the best, because your blood runs close to the surface in those places. Cold packs designed for injuries or lunchboxes, bags of frozen vegetables, etc. can substitute for ice water as well. Even room-temp water will pull heat away from your body better than body-temp sweat will, especially if it’s humid, so if you don’t have enough ice, the sink, bathtub, or hose will do fine. Dipping your feet into cool water helps a ton as well if you have to sit and work and don’t want your clothes to be wet.

3) WHERE AM I SUPPOSED TO GET SO MUCH ICE?  To make sure you have enough ice to last you the weekend, especially through a potential power failure, I recommend getting a cooler (even one of the cheap styrofoam ones is fine in a pinch) and ~10lbs of ice from the big coolers at most gas stations, drug stores, or grocery stores. Try to do this now, before anybody loses power, and store as much in your freezer as you have space for to keep it from melting. You can use it for drinking or to keep your food cold in a power failure. You can use it for a party later if you don’t end up needing it during the heat wave, but you will probably be very happy you had it.

4) AIR FLOW. Being inside a room with the windows closed is the worst possible place to be if you don’t have A/C, because glass windows create a greenhouse effect and the hot air can’t escape. If at all possible, find a shaded place outside where you can catch any possible breeze. If not, open all your windows and, if it’s safe, doors so you can get a cross-breeze. Hopefully you have window screens to keep pets and kids in and bugs out. If not, you’re gonna have to do your own risk assessment. Fans of all sizes and descriptions are your friend; ceiling fans should be set to spin counterclockwise in summer. Even if you have A/C, finding or making a handheld fan will be worthwhile for when you have to venture outside. If you aren’t in a situation where you need to conserve ice, blowing air over a cooler full of ice will give you a makeshift A/C. 

5) SHADE. You will probably immediately notice that direct sunlight is a miserable place to be when it’s super hot. Find or make a shaded location, and don’t be afraid to move around to avoid the sun as the day goes on. Stay on the shady side of the sidewalk whenever you walk someplace. Try to shade your windows as best you can without obstructing airflow using blinds, curtains, shutters, etc. especially if they’re directly in the path of the sun. Do not be a jerk to your neighbors if their shade solutions are ugly. If you can get a shade for your car windshield, I highly recommend it, as the steering wheel, dashboard, seatbelts, and even seats can quickly become too hot to touch in a sealed car and will hold that heat for a long time.

6) CLOTHING. Light-colored, loose clothing that is as close to 100% cotton or linen as you can find is your friend. It doesn’t necessarily have to be short as long as it’s breathable. You will sweat through anything you wear, so I personally prefer only wearing machine-washable stuff. Sun hats, sunscreen, sunglasses, aloe gel for sunburns, mosquito repellent, anti-chafing supplies, etc are all worth looking into if you aren’t used to spending time in the heat.

7) TIMING. Try to stay out of the sun and avoid doing anything strenuous in the middle of the day when the heat is the worst. If you have a choice, plan to be more active early in the morning and late at night when the temperature is more bearable, and take a break in the middle of the afternoon.

Here’s a graphic from the CDC about how to recognize heat-related illnesses and what to do about them. I will add to this that if it’s hot and you stop sweating, you are getting to a dangerous level of dehydration and need to drink something BEFORE you start having more serious problems.

VENUS AND WHY PEOPLE FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU 

—based on people i’ve known and loved 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

one of the most important people in my life has venus in the 1st house and people just… have very intense reactions to them. like, they can’t just tolerate them, they either love them to death or absolutely hate them and make that hatred known. the thing about this venus is that it makes someone very desirable – they’re people persons, they love being around others and feel a strong need to communicate their ideas, beliefs, passions, and listen to other people talk as well because they’re a sucker for studying people. as in, they know there’s a lot to learn from others and they have really strong observational skills, their intelligence is criminally underrated. those who like them, fucking love them and want to constantly be around them (which can be a bit suffocating for the venus person) and even those who hate them can’t seem to be able to keep their names out of their mouths, lmfao. they do feed a lot off of validation from others (mostly due to deep-seated insecurities + fear of rejection) so they try hard to show off their talents, their personality, their skills. they can’t really exist in silence because they draw so much attention to themselves (and people often drag them into unnecessary drama), and because they feel such a strong need to help those around them. they’re also amazing storytellers, they really know how to charm people with their words. 

a friend of mine has her venus in the 2nd house and she really gives off sugar baby vibes, lmfao. older men are crazy about her and whoever meets her wants to spoil her. she gives off very innocent and sweet vibes and that adds to her appeal, although many people have tried taking advantage of that. as in, they use her compassion and empathy and ability to provide security for others, to be like a rock that’s there whenever you need her, so she’s often taken for granted. she’s very compassionate and shows that to literally everyone, which often leads to her feeling emotionally drained and needing to isolate herself to recharge + attracting emotional vampires that feed off of her difficulty in setting boundaries. she’s also often objectified - she’s very beautiful but has a very low self-esteem that incapacitates her from seeing it; she gets a lot of attention everywhere she goes, people turn their heads to look at her twice, strangers make conversation a lot of with her, and she also tends to get free stuff all the time. might i add – she used to be a literal model but stopped because it was a very toxic environment. she’s very charismatic and talented at dealing with people, she was elected the class representative and took it on herself to solve the problems of everyone in our class, wanting everyone to feel accepted, seen, and heard. 

i’ve been with someone who has his venus in the 3rd house, and people fell in love with his words. he wasn’t oblivious to it, he actually bragged a lot about how good he was with words and how he was able to sweet-talk someone into doing what he wanted. he was very communicative and valued solving all our problems through talking instead of ignoring it. people also fell in love with his intelligence, he was really thoughtful about any subject and loved having debates about it and people would get impressed with his analytical and rational mind, with his ease at making arguments and counter-arguments; with the way he had a really unique view on the world and his energy when talking. he was witty and just loved having fun in general, very open to making friends especially with powerful people. he valued a lot having new experiences and going to parties. he was also really loyal and constantly bragged about his friends, he talked about them like they were his family. compliments were literally his love language lmfao it doesn’t get more stereotypical than this, if he liked you he’d shower you with attention and praise all you do and he felt really confident when you’d compliment him back. he was like that one phrase “to know is to love” come to life because he placed a lot of importance on knowing all the details about you, having deep conversations, getting to know all your opinions and perspectives on every possible subject. 

one of my closest friends has his venus in the 4th house and, surprisingly, people fall in love with him after they fuck lmfao. i don’t know what it is about him but as soon as someone has sex with him, they become addicted and hold on to him with claws and teeth until he breaks their heart because, sadly, he’s awfully afraid of commitment. and i’ve been noticing this a lot with people with venus in the 4th house – you’d think venus in the house of family makes someone long to find their soulmate (and they do, deep down), but it’s like truthfully, they’re scared of actually finding it; so they leave after getting too serious in a relationship, perhaps due to a fear of intimacy even though they really crave stability. although, he’s very honest and values honor a lot, so he’s upfront about his intentions with someone… if he wants to fuck you only, you’ll know; if he wants to pursue a relationship with you, you’ll know. i think that’s why so many people are into him, he’s very assertive and goes for what he wants with no shame. he also is someone very reliable, especially with friends, whatever happens, you can count on him. he’s really a ride or die and is a very protective person so people feel safe around him; he’s also very family-oriented in the sense that he takes any of his connections very seriously, especially the one with his mother. he’s, like, the alpha in the wolf pack lmfao. 

two people in my friend group have venus in the 5th house, and might as well just call them genius masterminds. i swear, they have plans straight out of a movie. they can not and will not get bored because there’s always so much going on in their life. cue to harry potter saying “i don’t go looking for trouble, trouble usually finds me”. they lead very intense lives especially when it’s concerning their family and their relationships, but they still manage to make fun of the difficult stuff they go through. people fall in love with their laugh and their brilliant minds. like, these people are criminally intelligent and very much slytherins in the sense of being resourceful, cunning, with an ability to take a shitty situation to their advantage and to take advantage of every opportunity life presents them. they really give off main character vibes especially since they can’t fucking sit still for a moment, they always gotta be onto something. they’re very active and energetic and that type of energy is very addictive, they always know how to make someone have a good time around them. the problem is that some people might get too addicted to their energy and guilt-trip them into hanging out with them every day even when they don’t want to, draining their energies and making them feel like an animal caged up in a zoo there for other’s entertainment only. 

i’ve known someone who had their venus in the 6th house, and… venus in the 6th people are so fucking particular, they avoid telling you how they feel at all costs but show you in the tiniest, most indirect ways possible (like telling you good night every night, always taking time out of their busy schedules to talk with you, rearrange your hair when there’s a strand out of place) and swear they’re being obvious. it’s so funny, they make me feel like a detective trying to decipher their behavior. they can also be very territorial about whoever they like – at worst, they can be very controlling and overly possessive, at best, they’re just hot as fuck like i’m sorry please do attempt to claim me. i’ve noticed that people fall in love with their power. they exude a vibe that makes people afraid to fuck with them because they know it’ll have consequences. they’re just so commanding and act like they won’t tolerate any bullshit or no one trying to waste their time, they’re all for business. they also tend to look expensive as hell, they could be wearing something cheap out of bershka and still make it look regal and like you’d never afford it. they have really high standards so people try very hard to impress them (and fail most of the time lmfao) and get just one minute of their time. the person i knew literally had fangirls following them around in school and begging for their attention. their response? “oh, they are? i didn’t notice and quite frankly, i don’t care.” 

one of the most important milfs that went through my life had her venus in the 7th house, and people fell in love purely with her personality. no, i don’t think you understand how charming and funny she was. she was an amazing storyteller and had an infinite amount of stories about her life to tell, and it was impossible to ever get bored around her because she had so much to say. she was also very expressive in her way of speaking, and you could feel her emotions through her words. she had an awfully mischievous grin that made her look like she was always up to something and it was so funny. people would gather around her to her and pay close attention to what she would say next since she was so unpredictable. she could also be very diplomatic and persuade people to her side, whether in arguments or business matters. she placed a lot of importance on education and knowledge. another thing about her was that she was so secretive - and that’s something very few people caught on about her since she was so good at talking and told so many stories, but i did find her personality difficult to pinpoint because she would only open up about superficial matters. as in, she would tell a story of her as a teenager going to parties and shit, but whenever i’d ask her a more private matter like how she met her husband, she’d laugh and say “that one’s for me to know only.” it was very hard to get to know the real her under all the glamour and popularity. she also gave me the sense of someone sinking on their own sadness but she hid that at all costs in the name of being the sun that lights up the room. i don’t know, something in her eyes. 

my best friend has venus in the 8th house – she’s very, very selective about who she talks to and gives attention to very few people. she fears opening up and sex is a tricky subject for her because although she loves talking about sex, it’s very hard for her to trust someone enough to even consider letting them close to her. she fears betrayal, rejection. she likes keeping her circle close, which i think is a way for her to avoid having to go through the process of letting someone in. she’s also extremely loyal and very aware that few people deserve that loyalty – once she likes someone, she only sees that person and no one else. she really longs for a meaningful and intimate relationship. i feel like people fall in love with her after getting close to her, she’s a very thoughtful person with a strong personality and, once someone gets to experience her intensity, they’re addicted. no one ever says this about 8th placements but they’re fucking crackheads, they’re very lighthearted most of the time and just want to have fun and a good time, they can have the humor of a 5-year-old and people find that side of her very endearing; they fall in love with her humor and the way she’s so good-hearted even if she tries hiding that fact. she can’t help that she’s so genuine. might i add that she really has that scorpionic look, with thick dark hair and big, deep-set eyes and you can really read her every emotion on them. 

one of my friends has venus in the 9th house and she’s the funniest person ever. seriously, she’s the life of the party, always looking to crack a joke and the room doesn’t feel as lively without her. people fall in love with her unpredictability, her light-hearted nature and how she’s always looking for something to stimulate her mind, by learning and finding new places, new people to deepen her knowledge. one thing about her is that people tend to underestimate her a lot. just because she loves having fun and takes nothing seriously, they think it’s okay to try and mess with her, and then they regret that shit deeply because even if she rarely shows her serious and ruthless side… oh, it’s there and she will not hesitate (especially if you fuck with her friends). she also tends to suffer a lot in love because she’s looking for a serious relationship and to bond with someone, but people tend to objectify her and use her for her body. but she’s too elegant to let that show, she really knows how to hide her suffering under a bright smile. she’s a very supportive person and things always end up working for her because she has such a good heart (the people who do her dirty get so fucked by life later), and people tend to envy how she seems to have it all. they don’t notice how hard-working and ambitious she actually is. 

i have venus in the 10th house. people fall in love very easily with me, but it’s never actually with me because they don’t know me, they fall in love with my image. as in, people often approach me to tell me they fell in love at first sight with me just because they saw me on the bus or some shit, or they talk with me for 3 days and swear i’m the one when i haven’t revealed anything about me. men also tend to suffer from “i can fix her” when around me. it’s the effy stonem disease lmfao, they see me being pretty and fucked up and try to fix me, plus, i don’t do relationships so they always think they’re gonna be the one to “tame” me. i also give off very cold and unattainable vibes and the first thing people notice about me is how i’m hard to get so they often portray me as the forbidden fruit, someone they’re never gonna get but they still try. which makes me feel really objectified at times because it’s like…. you don’t know me, you don’t even try to know me, you just idealize me in your head and put me on a pedestal. which is why i think i have an aversion to love, most people don’t experience it; they experience infatuation and confuse it as being the same thing as love, and it’s too superficial for me. if you have your venus in the 10th house, chances are you’re very desirable and sought after but that has given you a very difficult relationship with the concept of love. 

if there’s anything about people with venus in the 11th house… they’re passionate. so passionate about anything that they believe in, and they make that very clear. they put a lot of importance on fighting for what’s right and for justice, so they get very emotionally involved in others’ problems, even if it doesn’t in any way benefit their own lives. and when i say this i don’t mean just getting involved in social causes and organizing charity events, i mean that they intuitively feel what’s wrong with the people they love and they don’t rest until there’s a solution. they’re masters at providing emotional comfort and bringing people together because they don’t believe in the differences between human beings, we’re all idiots going through the same shit called life. and that’s what people love so much about them: their tenacity, their drive, their ambition, their big dreams. their compassion for everyone’s problems, the glint in their eyes when they’re speaking about subjects ranging from animal cruelty to how wrong capitalism is lmfao, their need to feel passionate about everything. most of them have struggled with the loss of someone they loved and are now very aware of the need to live life to the fullest. these people also have a way of making someone they barely know feel like their best friend. 

i’ve known someone who had his venus in the 12th house, and he was probably the most emotionally complicated and troubled person i’ve ever known. he was very withdrawn and the quiet confident type (although he had a lot of insecurities deep, deep down) and everyone knew his name, he was constantly surrounded by friends but it’s like no one actually knew him. he stood out so much, not even in his appearance even though he was beautiful, it was his energy. he also wasn’t afraid of standing alone and he’d do it whenever he disagreed with something or to fight for his beliefs, so he was respected by everyone. anyways, to be one of the lucky few to get past his distant persona, you had to be just as thoughtful and interesting because he really didn’t waste his time with people who weren’t worth getting to know. people fell in love with his way of seeing the world, his empathy (that’s something you’d never expect from someone who had such a “harsh” exterior – he never acted without considering the consequences and he’d feel a lot of the world’s pain), his intensity, the way everything was so serious to him and there was no room for superficiality. he was a very unforgettable person, i don’t think i’ll ever be able to forget his eyes or how he seemed to fight a daily battle just to keep going.

my best friend has venus in the 8th house – she’s very, very selective about who she talks to and gives attention to very few people. she fears opening up and sex is a tricky subject for her because although she loves talking about sex, it’s very hard for her to trust someone enough to even consider letting them close to her. she fears betrayal, rejection. she likes keeping her circle close, which i think is a way for her to avoid having to go through the process of letting someone in. she’s also extremely loyal and very aware that few people deserve that loyalty – once she likes someone, she only sees that person and no one else. she really longs for a meaningful and intimate relationship. i feel like people fall in love with her after getting close to her, she’s a very thoughtful person with a strong personality and, once someone gets to experience her intensity, they’re addicted. no one ever says this about 8th placements but they’re fucking crackheads, they’re very lighthearted most of the time and just want to have fun and a good time, they can have the humor of a 5-year-old and people find that side of her very endearing; they fall in love with her humor and the way she’s so good-hearted even if she tries hiding that fact. she can’t help that she’s so genuine. might i add that she really has that scorpionic look, with thick dark hair and big, deep-set eyes and you can really read her every emotion on them. 

one of my friends has venus in the 9th house and she’s the funniest person ever. seriously, she’s the life of the party, always looking to crack a joke and the room doesn’t feel as lively without her. people fall in love with her unpredictability, her light-hearted nature and how she’s always looking for something to stimulate her mind, by learning and finding new places, new people to deepen her knowledge. one thing about her is that people tend to underestimate her a lot. just because she loves having fun and takes nothing seriously, they think it’s okay to try and mess with her, and then they regret that shit deeply because even if she rarely shows her serious and ruthless side… oh, it’s there and she will not hesitate (especially if you fuck with her friends). she also tends to suffer a lot in love because she’s looking for a serious relationship and to bond with someone, but people tend to objectify her and use her for her body. but she’s too elegant to let that show, she really knows how to hide her suffering under a bright smile. she’s a very supportive person and things always end up working for her because she has such a good heart (the people who do her dirty get so fucked by life later), and people tend to envy how she seems to have it all. they don’t notice how hard-working and ambitious she actually is. 

i have venus in the 10th house. people fall in love very easily with me, but it’s never actually with me because they don’t know me, they fall in love with my image. as in, people often approach me to tell me they fell in love at first sight with me just because they saw me on the bus or some shit, or they talk with me for 3 days and swear i’m the one when i haven’t revealed anything about me. men also tend to suffer from “i can fix her” when around me. it’s the effy stonem disease lmfao, they see me being pretty and fucked up and try to fix me, plus, i don’t do relationships so they always think they’re gonna be the one to “tame” me. i also give off very cold and unattainable vibes and the first thing people notice about me is how i’m hard to get so they often portray me as the forbidden fruit, someone they’re never gonna get but they still try. which makes me feel really objectified at times because it’s like…. you don’t know me, you don’t even try to know me, you just idealize me in your head and put me on a pedestal. which is why i think i have an aversion to love, most people don’t experience it; they experience infatuation and confuse it as being the same thing as love, and it’s too superficial for me. if you have your venus in the 10th house, chances are you’re very desirable and sought after but that has given you a very difficult relationship with the concept of love. 

if there’s anything about people with venus in the 11th house… they’re passionate. so passionate about anything that they believe in, and they make that very clear. they put a lot of importance on fighting for what’s right and for justice, so they get very emotionally involved in others’ problems, even if it doesn’t in any way benefit their own lives. and when i say this i don’t mean just getting involved in social causes and organizing charity events, i mean that they intuitively feel what’s wrong with the people they love and they don’t rest until there’s a solution. they’re masters at providing emotional comfort and bringing people together because they don’t believe in the differences between human beings, we’re all idiots going through the same shit called life. and that’s what people love so much about them: their tenacity, their drive, their ambition, their big dreams. their compassion for everyone’s problems, the glint in their eyes when they’re speaking about subjects ranging from animal cruelty to how wrong capitalism is lmfao, their need to feel passionate about everything. most of them have struggled with the loss of someone they loved and are now very aware of the need to live life to the fullest. these people also have a way of making someone they barely know feel like their best friend. 

i’ve known someone who had his venus in the 12th house, and he was probably the most emotionally complicated and troubled person i’ve ever known. he was very withdrawn and the quiet confident type (although he had a lot of insecurities deep, deep down) and everyone knew his name, he was constantly surrounded by friends but it’s like no one actually knew him. he stood out so much, not even in his appearance even though he was beautiful, it was his energy. he also wasn’t afraid of standing alone and he’d do it whenever he disagreed with something or to fight for his beliefs, so he was respected by everyone. anyways, to be one of the lucky few to get past his distant persona, you had to be just as thoughtful and interesting because he really didn’t waste his time with people who weren’t worth getting to know. people fell in love with his way of seeing the world, his empathy (that’s something you’d never expect from someone who had such a “harsh” exterior – he never acted without considering the consequences and he’d feel a lot of the world’s pain), his intensity, the way everything was so serious to him and there was no room for superficiality. he was a very unforgettable person, i don’t think i’ll ever be able to forget his eyes or how he seemed to fight a daily battle just to keep going.

Could you give some tips on reading synastry charts for beginners? I’m so lost pls

Ofcourse!! I'll be more than happy to love🥰 Let's get into it:

Synastry Charts

— Where to Start? 🤎

So there are therefore two main (common) ways to look at your connection with someone else. While synastry chart demonstrates how two individuals interact, composite chart depict how two individuals view their own collective relationship as a whole. That is, composite charts depict the average of two people's chart from the point of view of an insider view between their respective behavioral planets  Composite charts, taken in their full meaning, are a mixture of smart, untrustworthy and all at once interesting. In essence, composites nevertheless get a charts of something that cannot occur in physics as a sort of third party couple made by you and the rest of the individual.

Synastry charts are, as an alternative to composites, just another chart that was generated exactly between two people's chart. These diagrams give a fundamental understanding of a public partnership. When composite chart demonstrate an united collaboration, synastry chart reveal an external collaboration. Understanding it is essentially the same as analyzing any individual or event's standard birth charts. When we speak of two charts that influence one another, the person whose primary chart we look at becomes the possesor. The visitor is the person with a single planet to examine how it has an impact on the chart of the owner. The houses in synastry inform you quite substantially about in which the visitor's planet affects the house owner. Our first inquiry is if a house is different from the expected one when the planet of a visitor (planet) lands in it? No. Houses display pretty much the same trends however synastically the buildings occasionally change who influences whom. As they reflect certain ways that people may typically agree on, when we look at them synastically, houses do not actually alter that much. The seventh house is still the connection from 1 to 1. Whether you own the house or interact with some planets in a certain house, both of you in the couple usually agree on the region of life on the table. It's quite a lot. When it comes to our views on homes, the one point of misunderstanding that occasionally emerges in synastry is who influences instead of where they are influencing.

For instance, my Mars in your 3rd may make me appear more aggressive towards in your communication.

my Venus in your 3rd may make you appear more socially receptive to in your communication.

However we can also say that my Venus in your 3rd may make me more socially in your communication.

A simple way to look at this is through the houses:

One's planet in your first house affects your display of your default instinct, personality, sexuality, or drive

One's planet in your second house affects your display of your default instinct, personality, sexuality, or drive

One's planet in your third house affects your formation and expression of personal opinions, spontaneous communication

One's planet in your fourth house affects your wants, inclinations, what you want from them, inclined emotions, communication of your honest wants, your interest in them or lack thereof

One's planet in your fifth house affects your validation of them through your company, pride, ego expression, enthusiasm for things

One's planet in your sixth house affects your analytical focus, work company, daily priorities, skills at work, body focus and fitness, task-centeredness, attention-giving side, sense of self-efficacy in work

One's planet in your seventh house affects your casual conversation, 1:1 feedback (how you give it), 1:1 communication, how you talk to them

One's planet in your eighth house affects your power over others, relationships (habit of dissecting, fighting, and influencing within these), criticality of others, irritation with others, expression of power against theirs

One's planet in your ninth house affects your image in the eyes of the public, successful image promotion, exploration, tendency to self-broadcast, charisma but also affects their formation of creative ideas, learning and push towards the new, ideals concerning others

One's planet in your tenth house affects your expression of authority over or ability to command others, ability to structure boundaries for others, ability to command others, sense of struggle in the world, public identity

One's planet in your eleventh house affects your social environment, social effect, networking power, response to society, efficacy as social connectors, information around you, also affects their reach of social network, attention to their place in the social world, social plane.

One's planet in your twelfth house affects your inner creative struggle, impression left on others, secrets and secret life, vibe, mood, spirituality or spaciness also affects their vibe company, the feeling of matching their intended goals, impression establishment, creativity

We also have to look at how the planets function too!!

For example, The Moon when you’re the possesor represents your inner emotional world and when your person is the visitor would show their reactions to undesirable circumstances. Where Mercury would show your way ofmeaning making, what you show you value with another when you’re the possesor and for them, the conditions that prompt one to reason things out with you (usually via conversation) So applying the informations above, your moon in another home reveals how emotionally they may reach you through the region of their life. In their representation of their own house, you view them as sensual or practical in their pursuit of physical proof of their own advancement. The other reacts to your commitment to that home more emotionally. For instance,  the 1st house folks react more to you as a person and appear more practical to you than themselves,etc. 

So thats Planets in the houses in synastry, but Planets on Planets will be perceived differently. For this you should familiarize with the idea of aspects first. 

Lets say you guys have Sun-Mars aspect. You will also be encouraged to avoid or lure 3rd party away in this aspect, in a couple will encourage them to put more pressure on you in in this respect. Conjuncts are wonderful when you naturally go forward with very little extra effort. Trines on the other hand might make you feel reactive to them, or stimulate your views when they interact. 

This is just barely scraping the surface luv. There are so much more about synastry that I felt like called for a masterpost:D Thank you for asking this question and giving me this wonderful idea baby. Please read through this and lmk if you do have any question or concerns whatsoever!!<3

I will be making a bigger post on this to help you out luv:)
