TheAmor asteroid in Astrology is connected to platonic love and compassion - similarly to Ceres it can represent unconditional love, one that doesn’t need to have a reason to exist, one that would exist regardless of the circumstances, but in a romantic way, unlike Ceres which is normally connected to a mother-child type of relationship.
Amor can show intimacy, closeness, a relationship that doesn’t have to be sexual, but one that carries a strong connection between the two people. Amoralso shows how we deal with romantic rejection - whether it’s aspected in anger (natal aspect to Mars), in isolation and loneliness(natal aspectto Uranus and/or Saturn), in victimhood(natal aspect to Neptune), in putting more focus on ourselves (natal aspect to Sun or Venus) or accepting it as a lesson, despite our ego being hurt (natal aspect to Jupiter).Natal aspects between Amor and Pluto, or the Moon can be a big sign of holding onto relationships(Moon) or them being life-changing, having big impact on us and our future relationships (Pluto).
Amor can also show the love that feels ideal to us - our true romantic desires, how and what we require to experience the highest form of love, to feel truly loved.
Here are the best Amor aspects to have in Synastry (in my opinion):
Amor conjunct the other person’s Sun or Ascendant, Amor in the other person’s 1st House
The Sun/Ascendant/1st House person has the qualities that the Amor person can idolize romantially, it can show direct attachment and romantic feelings that can evolve fast. The Amor person may fall in love with the Sun/AS person’s presence, their being. They can romanticize them, view them through rose-colored glasses (at times it can be quite Neptunian). The Sun/AS person will feel truly confident, appreciated, worthy and valid. They can view each other as their ideal lover, as someone who directly represents the qualities in the person they have always wanted to love.
Amor conjunct the other person’s Moon
This can give a feeling that it was “meant to be”. It can be very selfless, quite sacrificial at times as if even hurting the other person the slightest causes great pain to yourself too. The Moon person will feel like their true self is finally loved by someone, as if someone worships the part of themselves that they can’t seem to always love themselves.
Amor conjunct the other person’s Venus
This is one of the straight-out-of-a-fairytale aspects. It can show a very romantic love, a love in which both people, the Amor person specifically, are willing to do whatever it takes to please the other person romantically. It can show a growing love, one that builds up both people, one that allows them to live out their romantic desires. It can feel that the relationship was meant to be - even if other aspects in the synastry chart are bad, they are likely to come back to this relationship.
Amor conjunct the other person’s Descendant/opposite their Ascendant or Amor in the other person’s 7th House
The relationship will feel very reflective - they are likely to act on it or develop feelings for each other at the same time. This can signify a very strong union, a union that carries love for each other that can’t go away regardless of the circumstances. In many cases, it can be said that this is the type of relationship where both people are ready to take a bullet for each other. It can be selfless, the other person will be a priority, they will be an important part of your life you have to think about before making any decision. It is often seen in long-term relationships.
Amor conjunct the other person’s Psyche
This can show a love that is very emotional - very profound. It is not physical, not just emotional - it seems to come from a very different place. In this aspect, you are in love with the other person’s being, their soul. The relationship can feel romantically transformative, as if all journeys have finally led to this. The relationship will bring out both people’s intuition, especially when it’s connected to the other person - it can give a telepathic-like connection. The relationship may feel like the place in which the Psychic person finally allows themselves to be loved. They may learn more about themselves due to the relationship. It can also show that while the relationship can be their greatest strength, it can also feel like their greatest weakness, due to the dependency on the other person.
Asquare or an opposition can also be felt strongly, but it will have the ability to make the relationship a bit more complicated - there may be one-sided attachment, one person giving everything they can while the other may be more apathetic or passive, it can show a strong love that also brings out the Amor person’s insecurities, makes them question their worth, it can make them neglect themselves due to the focus over the other person.

Sun in 7th - These guys are all about relationships and aren’t fond of loneliness . Their sense of self shines when they have someone else by their side or even just having people around them so having connections is important to their overall wellbeing. Without these connections they can feel a bit lacklustre. They sacrifice themselves a lot and are very compassionate towards other people, what makes people happy is what makes them happy. They can be the types where if their partner likes something, they’ll like it too. They can be the types where they can manipulate to get what they want as they’re so personable.
Moon in 7th - These are the kinds of people that are emotionally dependent on their partners and love to take care of them. If their partner is having a bad day, you can be sure that they are too, which makes you sensitive to other people’s moods. These types would prefer to sit on the couch watching a movie while eating dinner instead of going out. These are the best people to vent your problems to as they will take them wholeheartedly and you’ll feel like you’re truly being heard. They can be abit shifty in their emotions because the moon rules our mood swings so be sure that your a shoulder for them to cry on and comfort them if they get sad. They can’t clingy towards people so free loving types won’t find this comforting.
Mercury in 7th - Communication is vital when you have this placement in your chart. If there’s no talking, well then the relationship is just boring, hence they need to be stimulated. These guys are great at communicating with people and can be flirters if they’re not careful if they have a partner. Whatever problems they have, they need to talk it out . They approach relationships in a more rational and detached way so they don’t take interactions too seriously. You can talk about everything under the sun with these people so there will be a lot of talking between you two.
Venus in 7th - These guys love love! So being in love comes naturally to these folk and are quite the charmers, to the point where it can come across a bit insincere at times. They can be the types that can lead people on if they’re not careful and can be in relationships just for the sake of it. Some of their relationships can involve the classic back and forth of ‘hey what do you want to eat?’ ‘oh I don’t really mind you can pick’ cause they want what’s best for their mate and are pretty indecisive. You just know how to draw people in with your flirtatiousness and can be popular with lots of people.
Mars in 7th - Boring relationships just won’t do for these types, they need bonds that have a bit of pizzazz and some competition. Ruffling some feathers is their way of being involved so they can be quite the handful if things are taken too far. You need someone that energises you, motivates you and is always up for a bit of fun, otherwise what’s the point. These guys are your personal cheerleaders in motivating you towards your personal goals. They hate being told what to do but they’ll love telling you what to do. They get into relationships quite quickly so you better make up your mind in where you stand with these types.
Jupiter in 7th - Don’t box me in should be a saying for these folks as they don’t like to feel suffocated! The more suffocated they feel, the more they’ll flee. They want their relationships to happy, fair and drama free! and free of expectations. These guys have might have more acquaintances than close friends. Traveling and having fun is what they’ll want to do with their mate. For them relationships are more about the experience rather than having an intense connection. They can be capable of having a long distance relationship more than other types.
Saturn in 7th - These guys can have pretty high standards in what they expect in relationships and can make them feel like you’re entering a business partnership rather than a connection, but once they enter them they’re set in stone. Deep down under all these expectations is a deep insecurity of not being good enough as Saturn hates failure. Their insecurities can really get them down to the point where they don’t even bother forming a relationship. They can have less relationships than other people as they can be late bloomers. Nonetheless these guys are great to have behind your backs in a crisis and are someone you can count on.
Uranus in 7th - These guys tend to have a unconventional view of relationships. They can attract and be attracted to types that walk to the beat of their own drum. The more quirky their partner is, the more they’re going to be intrigued. Possibly be the types that see marriage as just a ‘piece of paper’ and see it as too restrictive. You won’t find these guys in relationships that are too intense or too clingy as this creates the need to be set free and not be caged in as they love their freedom. Much likely to be friends first with someone before they start a relationship, even then it’ll look more like a friendship than partnership.
Neptune in 7th - These are types of people that can have trouble seeing for what their relationship really is, especially if it a relationship that involves some sort of abuse. These guys tend to put on their rose coloured glasses and sweep any problems under the rug and not deal with them cause they don’t want to ruin that colourful, picture perfect vision on what they wish their relationship should be like. Unfortunately these types can attract abusers, narcissists and the like and can be taken advantage of easily due to their compassionate nature, which makes it hard for these folks to say no and thus creating a lack of boundaries.
Pluto in 7th - These guys don’t want relationships that are superficial and only taken at face value, the deeper the connection, the better. They want to know everything about their partner, flaws and all. Their relationships can get very intense to the point where it can become destructive and obsessive , so things can get pretty ugly if we dive in too deep. Sometimes it can scare some people that aren’t looking for the same intensity as you do in partnerships but you wouldn’t have it any other way. Relationships are all or nothing for you, life or death. Betray these people and we’ll see if you live another day.
Conjunction - To me, having this aspect with another person is like literally looking at yourself in a mirror and seeing yourself, like a clone so to speak and feel like your two peas in a pod, or who knows, maybe you get on each other’s nerves because you’re so alike especially if the two planets have a close orb to each other. You almost feel like you can read each other’s minds and have a very close bond with each other. You’ll get them like no other.
Trine - Having a trine with another person could be so easy going that it may become abit boring sometimes (all depending on who you are as a person, maybe you might like this). Like you don’t even have to try with this person, it just flows. Sometimes you don’t even realise it the energy until you research about it.You might need to have other invigorating aspects to make it abit more exciting or passionate.
Sextile - Now sextile gives it abit more of pizazz than the trine I feel because we’re dealing with good compatibility but with different elements. Both can teach each other things eg. say like a Scorpio moon with a Capricorn moon, both hide their feelings but feel them in a different way (Scorpio being intense while Capricorn being abit cold and detached) can also make them balance the other person. I feel like sextile is an underrated aspect and that people don’t focus on it much cause it’s not ‘exciting’ I guess.
Square - I see this aspect as something comes with abit annoyance between two people. You know when you look at a person and there’s something that you just can’t stand about them and know you that your gonna step on each other’s toes or get on each other’s nerves? I feel like that’s the aura of what a square is. If you like a challenge then you probably don’t see this as a problem haha. I feel like you or both people would have to be mature about this aspect and learn that you and the other person have different ways of going about things.
Opposition - I feel like this aspect gives an aura of intrigue to the other person because we’re dealing with a ‘ying and yang’ sort of a feel. I feel like this is aspect that you can compromise a little bit easier instead of the square and makes you see other people’s point of view easier and possibly even learning things about the other person. You may probably get on each other’s nerves unless you compromise on what you’re talking about and might see each other’s point of view a little bit easier unlike the square.
Cancer Midheaven people may be more likely to be in roles of a stay at home parent or helping people in some way eg. Hospitals, nursing homes, daycares etc.
The signs that your planets have say about what traits you have whereas the houses focuses on the areas of life, so just because you have moon in the 8th house doesn’t mean that you are the same as a Scorpio moon. Scorpio moon has the TRAITS of scorpio but 8th house moon has things that are RELATED to Scorpio things such as taboos, death and rebirth, transformation etc.
Moon in the 3rd house people may more likely to soak up any information that emotionally fulfills them. They’re quite sentimental as well especially with a cancer moon or taurus moon as they struggle to let go of the past.
Mars in the 2nd house people can be possessive on what they have whether if it’s people, objects etc and don’t really like to share.
Water mars (particularly cancer mars and pisces mars) may be more likely to cry during an argument.
People with Mercury in the 1st house tend to have a childlike quality to them, like they’ll always remain a kid even in their older years.
Capricorn Venus people can be late bloomers because they can be abit awkward when it comes to relationships, but these guys don’t beat around the bush on what they want in a relationship.
Venus in the 4th house people probably grew up in a pleasant home with nice furniture, beautiful gardens and a comfortable atmosphere.
People with Mercury conjunct Mars are more likely to dominate a conversation. They can be the types to start a fight or argument just for the sake of it.
People who have Virgo on the 6th house cusp tend to be picky eaters or clean eaters. You’ll find some vegans or vegetarians with this placement.

Pay attention to the opposite house of your Sun’s house, it may be what you unconsciously are trying to personally accomplish in your life.
For example: Having the Sun in the 7th house points you to look for individuality, to look for your true identity, since this one points to the 1st house.
Now, the good aspects that go from the sun, closer to that house (the opposite), help you to achieve the goal easier; the hard aspects make things a little harder but not impossible.
Tip: if you wanna see what are your advantages and disadvantages when trying to accomplish them, just hold your chart from below the sun house, having the opposite house as a “Midheaven”, you will see what takes you there the closest.
1st House: the self, environment around how the self/identity was developed, boundaries, self-image, separate/being separate, the idea of separateness, physical characteristics, appearance, expectations, immediate environment, place of birth, self-expression, the start, beginnings, self needs, self-focus, selfishness, character/disposition/mannerisms, vitality.
