Gemini on the 7th house cusp

Any kind of confinement - mental, physical or emotional - is abhorrent to you. You cannot and will not be emotionally stifled by your partners. Thus, you may often be close to more than one person simultaneously in order to avoid feeling too dependent. When you make a commitment (and you may do so more than once), your partner must be as intellectually stimulating and curious and restless as you are. Your boredom tolerance is noticeably low. You don't form emotional ties unless there is mental rapport. Your dreams, ideals and speculations about matters which transcend day-to-day living are so central to your existence that any person you feel close to must be someone with whom you can discuss these ideas since no one else seems to understand them. Your partners are bright, verbal, curious people who, on the surface may not appear to have a great deal of emotional depth. However, they connect with you intellectually and that tie appears to be the channel through which you can share emotionally.

Mercury, ruler of the 7th house, is in 10th

Your work is more than a job; it is a calling. You think about it all the time. Anyone who wants a close relationship with you needs to think about it too. Better yet, share it with you. You are not attracted to people you don't admire. Someone who speaks and/or writes well is special for you -- probably because it is a talent you share. Your own communication skills are highly developed and you are always seeking to make them better. Someone who was not only personally interesting but had something instructive to offer in your chosen field would be especially attractive to you. Your mother was intelligent and, possibly, well-educated and accomplished. These are qualities she would have admired in you so it might be natural for you to seek out others who also appreciate these talents. Even if your reputation as a "great communicator" is well known to those who know you, you tend to cede authority in these matters. Either your partner has actually had greater experience or your inherent modesty is such that you respect it as a guide.

Sun Semisquare Ascendant

You have a strong, dynamic personality which is not always supported by the inner confidence that you are sufficiently recognized and respected. You may, at times, over-compensate for this anxiety by being excessively assertive or egocentric.

Sun Semisquare Pluto

Power struggles plague your relationships. Either you become the dominant partner out of a fear of being controlled or you become very passive, controlling indirectly through guilt or manipulation. Your father may have been emotionally abusive to you.

Sun Opposite Saturn

Your self-esteem is based less upon what you are in your own or others' eyes than on what you do. You may become so compulsive about achievement that you cannot relax into a warm, enduring relationship until you have achieved some success in your career.

Sun Square Moon

When you were growing up, there was a distance between your parents either physically or emotionally. You did not experience mother/father, male/female, yin/yang working together as a unit. Thus, you may have difficulty with at least one intimate tie.

Moon Semisquare Pluto

You had an over-controlling parent and something inside of you decided that no one else would ever have that kind of control over you again. You tend to repress your deepest feelings and fears and are surprised when close ties suggest you're manipulative.

Moon Square Saturn

You don't have as much self-confidence as you appear to have. You long for love and affection but have never felt, since childhood, that you could have it, simply by being. You feel you have to earn it in some way. You like close ties to need and depend on you.

Moon Sesquiquadrate Ascendant

You often feel emotionally misunderstood. You may have learned as a child to hide your true feelings in order to accommodate those around you. As an adult, your outer manner often belies your inner responses more than you may consciously realize or intend.

Mercury Opposite Saturn

You are a serious person and inclined to be somewhat inflexible in your thinking. Since you tend to be rather judgmental, you could only be happy with someone who is in philosophical agreement with you and conceptualizes the world as you do. Sometimes you are rather taciturn.

Mercury Sextile Ascendant

You are extremely verbal and communicative and have no difficulty in making your thoughts and ideas clearly understood. At times, however, you may become a bit glib and use your "gift of gab" as a means of protecting yourself from emotional vulnerability.

Venus Conjunct Midheaven

Love cannot exist for you without admiration and respect. You like to feel proud of your relationships and often form close ties with those in positions of authority. You are socially conscious and attract friends and good fortune through your personal charm and talent.

Venus Conjunct Jupiter

Yours was an indulged childhood with lots of love and lots of cookies. You have a generous nature both emotionally and materially and people are usually pleased to provide you with the love and creature-comforts you both require and cheerfully give.

Mars Square Saturn

Your emotional needs were not met when you were growing up and there was nothing you could do about it. Even today, you tend not to express anger or pain or resentment except when you are in an infrequent rage. This is a problem in close relationships.

Jupiter Conjunct Midheaven

When you were little, your teachers liked you and when you grew up, your employers liked you. You tend to approach all relationships both personal and professional with an easy assurance. It is important to you that close ties enjoy society's approval.

Pluto Square Ascendant

You are not always aware of your own magnetism. Others find you intense and, sometimes, controlling. You have such strong fears of losing relationships that sometimes you imagine that people are turning against you when the opposite is more often true.

Moon does not aspect Mercury

It's as if the emotional and rational sides of your nature take turns expressing themselves. You are either utterly detached and objective about a situation or so emotionally involved you have no perspective. You are not in touch with your feelings.
