Sizzling love

Dear Astrology Room

I've been seeing this guy for the past couple of months and am surprised with how spicy and passionate things are between us. Sometimes it feels like we see right through each other, knowing what each other wants, which is refreshing, yet really foreign to me. It's a great feeling. I noticed his moon in Cancer conjuncts my Mars in Cancer. I was wondering if this explained our feeling of "in-tuneness"? I'm curious to hear your thoughts regarding this particular aspect. I'm a Gemini, he is a Scorpio. My moon in Capricorn, his in Cancer. Thank you

Dear Janette

Happy new year to you, and glad to hear love is sizzling for you!

Yes, Mars/Moon contacts between lovers are fascinating. These are both spicy, yes, but also close, nurturing, understanding, complicit and illicit contacts. Also, with your opposite (by sign) moons, (you don't say if your moon is directly in opposition to your Mars, if so, then all the better) there will be a strong magnetic pull between you, a sort of beautiful conspiracy. This of course means you have a powerful physical bond (moon is body, Mars is sex) and desire affinity. Lust and tenderness work well together, you trust each other's power, you don't need to abuse or try to manipulate it. However, Scorpio is by nature eternally mistrustful and Gemini unreliable, so you will probably have issues around jealousy, and freedom versus closeness. You will want more space than maybe he can give you. But if you can work on your differences - then this can be a very rich and exciting relationship.

Enjoy, and best wishes for 2012
