I wondered if anyone else had thoughts on this.

I have noticed that the strongest sexual attraction between two people is Venus in one chart conjunction to the Mars in the other, along with considerable sexual tension. Aspects are also important so that Mars in one in trine to Venus in the other is also highly attractive to both. Mars in one in square to Venus in the other also has strong attraction, but it becomes out of sync and arguments and emotional misunderstandings easily occur.

People with Venus and Mars in conjunction will be enormously attracted to those with the same position. A good example is David Beckham and Posh, both of whom have natal Mars Venus conjunctions close to one another. A lot of people, especially in England, scratch their heads over those two, but there is no doubt that in private they rock …

Mars in one conjunct Mars in the other is also attractive to both, with some likelihood of competitiveness and quarrelling. Venus in one conjunct Venus in the other is a friend, as Venus is a passive influence mostly. If the Sun is involved there is often a deep sense of affection. Though there are couples who are highly attracted to one another who seem to love nothing more than to continually argue and fight … they will often share strong mutual Mars aspects. One of the happiest marriages I know of the couple have Mars square Mars. They fight continually, argue in public and are always causing “scenes”, but they always go home together.

Venus in any aspect to Mars (or Uranus or Pluto) in the natal chart makes one “sexy” and attracts people with similar aspects.

I don’t know if this applies to gay couples as I do not have enough examples.

So if you meet someone who has Mars on your Venus, or Venus on your Mars, watch out …

Ideally the man's Venus is on the woman's Mars but there are many aspects that can denote sexual attraction and Pluto in the mix for sure. THe ascendant and its aspects are very important for body image and mannerisms particularly at first impression. The 8th house is traditionally sexual orgasm but the 5th denotes romance and fun times.. For any enduring connection Saturn needs to be present.

Not necessarily. It depends on where the Mars falls and other aspects. It can denote conflict and even aggression. Positively it is energy and action.

Mars sextile Mars, Mars conjunct Mars, Mars trine Mars and Moon/Mars is what you want to look for if you want sexual chemistry and attraction.

I have Mars conjunct Mars with someone in synastry and it does. I’ve also had Mars trine Mars with a guy and it was nice as well.
