Attracting certain types of astrological energy at different times.

[RubyTuesday]

I never really paid much attention to this until recently, but I keep attracting people with the same type of placements of angles and even their planetary placements are similar. I don't think I've always attracted the same types though. My example would be that I've met three people over the course of two months or so who are different ages and they don't know each other, but they're all Scorpio Rising with afflicted and/or retrograde Mars either in 8th house or Scorpio and two of them even have Pluto in their first house. Their Saturns always either conjunct or square my ascendant too, but their Saturns aren't all afflicted. I have an afflicted Mars myself and lots of Scorpio energy in my chart, but usually I attract people who never match me intellectually or we just aren't compatible when it comes to communication. I feel like I'm talking to a wall. Now, however, this energy I've been attracting is extremely compatible in those ways, but no one ever sticks around. It's hellish. I'm wondering if progressions or outer planet transits are what causes this energy of who you're attracting to shift? Hopefully others can understand what I'm trying to describe.
