After the date

[Starfall]

Hi all,

I went on a date last night and I am really curious about where things might go. So I asked the question: will this lead to a relationship?

My analysis:

Scorpio ascendant: Mars represent me. Mars has essential dignity in Capricorn, exaltation. Perhaps that means I put my best foot forward as a date?
Taurus descendant: Venus represents him. Venus peregrine in Capricorn, perhaps he wasn't in the best of places emotionally/day to day for dating?
(male + male date)
Moon is in Scorpio in 1st house conjunct the ASC. It is in the sign of its fall however.
The dispositor of both, Saturn is in 3rd of Pisces. Does that help Venus? The dispositor is in the place of Venus' exaltation.

Venus is immediately applying to conjunct Mars. As he is Venus, he is the keener of the two. There are other aspects going on but none of them - I think - intervene and these two are allowed to conjunct.
The Moon seems has just sextiled Mars and immediately applies to sextile Mercury, ruler of 8th and 10th. I have no idea what that represents.

Conclusion: I note the mixed dignity of us both, but we are in the same sign and the conjunction seems unimpeded. As Venus comes to Mars, perhaps Mars as the more dignified can help Venus?

What do you think? I'm an amateur at this and I would really appreciate your insight.

EDIT - I just spotted that Mars moves into the next sign before Venus catches up. Oh no!

There will still be contact between you both after the date with his 3rd ruler in your 3rd. But I believe there will be some difficulties arising to do with a disconnect between what you want and his actions. You'll feel you can't quite get what you want, or/and his actions are out of step with your desires. This is due to you/Mars inconjunct the 8th house cusp.

Thank you very much Chrysalis. I'll update the thread with any big developments, I wish more threads here had that for learning!

Well he likes you a lot! Mars in exaltation.
But you are more curious about the situation than showing interest in the guy himself.
In fact you doesn’t seem to like him that much (Venus in detriment), but that will soon be over and you will be total indifferent about him.
There seems also a problem with the communication…

No this date will lead to nowhere.

 

[Starfall]

Thanks kindly for everyone's time.

Communication - we actually did have problems here, it seems that the app that we were using had issues and neither of us were receiving each other's messages for a few days, I got very disheartened until he reached out in another way and I realised that it was just technology. He is very direct and responsive.

I think that he's a great catch - very handsome, has a good and stable job (unlike my ex), a stable life. I saw some sadness and maybe melancholy from him - his family did not accept him being gay and there are still some issues. He seems disheartened with the negative sides of dating; low effort, ego inflation, lack of honesty or communication from people. But, this doesn't intimidate me - I respected him showing his vulnerability and we are both middle-aged people: we've lived life, had wins, successes, loss and failure. So, I really like him! Since the date, I've heard little from him and he doesn't text much.

Ascendent and moon are both in the sign of sex, Scorpio.
Ruler mars also rules the 5th of love affairs.
Moon will sextile mercury, ruler of the 8th of sexual affairs.
His ruler Venus squares the nodes of relationships in the 5th, so this doesn't seem to be what he is looking for.
Rather than a long term relationship, this looks more like a sexy love affair.

He/Venus has an interest in your/Mars' well being, with Venus being Mars' triplicity ruler; he is not as interested as you are in him, [Mars receiving Venus by exaltation]. Your significators are not in orb of an applying aspect, since they don't meet by conjunction until they change signs and move 7 degrees into AQ.

So I would say there is some opportunity, possibility, with Moon applying to sextile Merc, but it won't come easy if it comes at all: Moon is not happy in Scorp and does not like Merc by reception. And you may simply lose interest.

Well I said that I would update with any big developments.

I got a text message from him today saying that he doesn’t feel a spark between us and he doesn’t see potential.

I’m pretty gutted.

Okay next...
Don't stress about it. I'm sure with the right guy the spark will be amazing.
And thanks for the update. I wish everyone was like you.

I’m pretty gutted.

Let it go.
This one wasn't meant for you.

I am sorry for how rough this is right now for you.
Thank you for your kindness of updating us.

The chart didn’t show that this could lead into a relationship.

But it did show Mars in exaltation in Venus being in Capricorn, either it was you or the sex.
A exaltation is a strong positive “feeling” and definitely a spark. Whether it’s love or not, it shows that it’s continuous on his mind.

I think the problem lays in the communication, that’s obvious in the chart.
This man has a lot of issues and low self esteem as you pointed out.
With you being so strong full of confidence (Mars in exaltation in Capricorn) might overpowered him and made him run away.

I’m sorry that it didn’t work out for you.
