I looked up Gauquelin in the search engine here and it came up with 0 matches so I thought I'd start a thread on this.  Several articles I have read mention the importance of planetary house placements, not in terms of the area where the energy is revealed but in terms of ADDING character to the energy of the planet itself. It all depends on rulerships, which are subject to change now and then, but the idea is interesting I think. For example, if my Moon is in Cap in the third, then my Moon would have a "Geminian flavor." I therefore might attract people with Gemini, whereas someone with a Cap Moon in the 8th might attract Scorpio/Pluto types. It's similar to the dwad/decanate theory in a way. Does anyone feel as though this makes sense in their own chart or in the chart/charts of their partner(s). ;D |

What research did Gauquelin compile regarding synastry? Based on my knowledge of Gauquelin's work, he specifically focused on the results produced by planets aspecting the angles of one's chart, i.e. within orb of the ascendant/descendant line (1st/7th axis) and along the Medium Coeli/Imum Coeli (10th/4th axis). Following that "line" of thinking, one might conclude that according to the Gauquelin model, synastry would be determined by the type and number of planets in aspect to the angles of another's chart. Other than the Ascendant/Descendant, I have yet to see such a significant correlation in synastry. My experience involving relationship synastry suggests that shared aspects between planets are perhaps more significant than the house placement or the angles involved. For example, the majority, if not all of my relationships, including close personal friendships, involve very tight aspects established between my sun/moon and the other person's sun/moon. The flavor of the relationship seems to be colored by the aspects generated from other planetary exchanges. At any rate, if Gauquelin has synastry research I would enjoy examining it. Let us know what you find out. Thanks.

Actually, there is a thread on this from last year. I am surprised it didn't come up on the search engine.
But, you guys have provided more info in your short exchange than the thread, so thanks!

Dear Edi ... Alas, yet another avenue of astrological study to travel (still trying to wrap my mind around the solar arcs) ... But, re your moon in third having a Gemini flavor and attracting Gemini friends -- that works for me! ... my Moon-Merc conjunction is on the cusp of the third (or IN it, depending on house system) and I have TONS of Gemini friends (and had one long-term love affair) ... of course, I have NN in Gem, plus a square from the Moon/Merc conjunction to Uranus in Gemini, so that might add some "Twinnish" energy ...  ... Can you recommend any links Gauquelin in synastry? Thanks, J |

Hi Everyone, On a short 'coffee' break from Uni assignments...does Fortuna in my 9th say I am enraptured with joy (with being at uni, not the coffee break!! ) As Allogoricallogic said, I don't think the Gauquelin's did any work with synastry directly. There study was very specific and extensive...the "mars effect' being the BIG outcome, though there were other findings as well. Here is a basic article that is well referenced: www.skepticfiles.org/skeptic/marsef07.htmIf anyone is interested and has some good, referenced links, maybe put them in the LINKS thread. I won't get to that this week..or next. Here is an article that touches on Gauquelin's work with family relationships--as close to synastry as I think they got (they were comparing parents charts with offspring, which of course is synastry!!) "Gauquelin also studied the birth charts of families and found that where a parent has a planet on an angle in their own birth chart, likewise a child will often also have the same planet on the same angle in theirs. However, he disputed that parents and children often share the same signs of their planetary placements. "www.aquamoonlight.co.uk/gauquelin.htmlThis article, however is NOT referenced. See what you think. If anyone does know of research or conclusions re Gauquelin and Synastry, let us know!! Kim |

Hey guys! I apologize. I think when I meant Gauquelin sector chart I just meant the idea that the houses represent more than the area where energy is expressed. I don't think Gauquelin ever wrote an article about this, but I have heard the theory discussed a few times with other astrologers (i.e. Moses of astrologyforthesoul.com). It's an interesting philosophy. I have a Moon in Gem in the 7th and I attract Libra's more than Gemini's. I prefer them romantically as well. There might be something to it. Kim- yes, I've been to that astro-research website several times. I'll check it out again. Thanks! ;D |

edirbyrreg Here are the THE GAUQUELIN SECTORS GS1 - 30° above the Ascendant and 10° immediately below it, 40° in total. GS2 - 30° west of the MC and 10° east of the MC, 40° total. GS3 - 20° below the Descendant and 10° above it, 30° in total. GS4 - 20° east of the IC and 10° west of the IC, 30° in total. www.cd-b.com/gauquelin_sectors.htmAlso, click on the above link if you want more information about how planets that fall into those sectors tend to manifest in expression. If I was to theorize about the affects of the THE GAUQUELIN SECTORS as they relate to Synastry, I would surmise that if you for example had planets that fell in the Gauqelin sectors of my chart, it may provoke the manifestation of those characteristics in one or both of us. Say for example you had your Mars located in Aquarius in the GS3 sector of my 6th house, we might spend alot of time together engaged in sports or other energetic activities. I do indeed have a friend with his Mars located in that region of my chart and we have spent a great deal of time together engaged in sports. If, however, your moon was located in one of the Gauqelin sectors of my chart, we may be prone to engage in writing as a pasttime as a result of our interaction. I also have a friend who's moon lands in my 12th in the GS1, which is a huge sector btw, while my moon lands in his 6th in the GS3 Sector. And we indeed spent a great deal of time in college collaborating together, writing essays and then later on writing documents together professionally. So if you want to activate some area of your life, surround yourself by people with planets that activate the areas in your chart you want activated! As for how the Gauqelin sectors relate to attraction and overall compatibility, I believe that area is subordinate to the overall configuration of your own planetary pattern. I will say this though, you've certainly peeked my curiousity and I found myself scanning over several of Gauquelin's books over the last few days looking for information about synastry. Ultimately I ended up drawing my own conclusions on the matter. Its unfortunate that Michael Gauqelin passed away so soon. I believe he had a great deal more to offer the world with his research. I'm sure wherever his atoms are, they appreciate our interest. Thanks for the discussion. Its given me a great deal more to consider.

Hi Al,
Thanks for the observations and link ...
I'll jump in here with my own experience re: "gauquelin synastry" ...
MM's Jupiter/Venus conjunct my MC and Eros/Psyche midpoint ... he has been working on my house, turning my ideas into reality, and seems to share my vision ... working with him has made me feel like "anything is possible" (something my Eros in Sagittarius ADORES -- and certainly wants explore further!) ...
Meanwhile, my Jupiter conjuncts his Moon, which conjuncts his IC ... (don't know how this makes him feel)
Jamma
