MOON or VENUS in AQUARIUS

The type of woman who attracts you is intelligent, independent, free-spirited, and a good conversationalist. Should she keep you guessing, or be a bit off-beat or unconventional, she'll fascinate you - but if she's too emotional, you'll pass.

Especially while young, you may be drawn to women who are not really available for a lasting relationship (because of distance or inability to make commitments, or a prior commitment to someone else).

This is usually because you may not yet be ready to make lasting commitments, and value your "space" and freedom more than emotional bonds or truly intimate relationships.

When you are ready to commit, you will. Meanwhile, you may be attracted to "free spirits", "space cadets", or even somewhat "strange" women.

Idealists or rebels also have a particular appeal to you. Politics may play a part in the attraction. Political foes might make strange bedfellows.  (continued)

The Sun Sign is what the average person answers when you ask "What's your sign?" - but the Moon Sign and Venus Sign are not known by the average person, and are quite complicated to determine. You will probably need to get a birth chart produced by an astrologer or computer program to find out the Moon Sign.

If Moon and Venus are in the same Sign, his attraction to that type is extra strong!

We can use those "cusp dates" for the Sun because our calendar was designed to conform to the apparent motion of the Sun. But the position of Venus does not conveniently match our calendar; so you'll have to look up its position on the exact month/day/year of birth from the listings in an astrological or naval "Ephemeris", or obtain a computer-calculated "natal horoscope chart" based on the birth data.

Before you look up your own Venus Sign, try an experiment by reading all twelve paragraphs and then choosing the one (other than the one for your Moon Sign, if you already know it) which best describes the second "type" of woman who attracts you. Is it the same "type" your Venus Sign predicts? Has your dating history included a significant number of partners who have that Venus Sign?   (continued)

NOTES TO WOMEN

(1) If a WOMAN reads these same descriptions which match her own Venus Sign, she may find some strong similarities between the traits men with that Venus Sign look for in a lover, and the ways she tends to express her own femininity. It is natural for a woman to quite unconsciously slip into a mode of expression matching her own Venus Sign "type" when she is in the presence of men she would like to attract or flirt with.

(2) If a WOMAN reads these same descriptions which match her own Moon Sign, she may find some strong similarities between these traits men of the same Moon Sign look for in a wife (or mother of their children), and the kind of man who makes her feel safe and secure and protected.

There is a good chance her own choice of mate will have similar qualities (or he may have his Sun in that Sign).

These "types" also come into play when a man is attracted in a platonic way to another man when he admires his "style" - how he expresses himself in his actions and appearance. (For a gay male, these "types" also apply to the type of man who attracts him.) Both men and women will likely find many of their most "comfortable" friends have the Sun in the same Sign as their own Moon. The Moon is about how you feel comfortable, safe, and secure in any close relationship; while Venus is more about how you give and receive affection; how you act to attract partners (as friends or lovers) or get attracted to them; and especially for men, it symbolizes the kind of person you view as your ideal lover.
