I ask out of curiosity because I'm in the process of comparing my chart with that of another person whom I find very attractive. I notice that there seem to be a number of positive aspects in close orb which seem to work in my favor -- three of his personal planets in my seventh house, his moon conjunct my ascendant and trine my chiron, his mars trine three of my personal planets (sun, venus, and mars), his jupiter conjunct my moon, his eros sextile the same three planets. I know that there should ideally also be some hard aspects in order to keep things interesting, and we have a few of those as well -- most of which are not very close in orb (as an example, his mars squares my saturn but at an orb of eight degrees and his saturn opposes my mars at an orb of seven degrees, which suggests that neither of these influences are very strong and could potentially be negligible).
My concern lies with the fact that his moon is in a fairly close inconjunct -- less than three degrees -- with three of my personal planets (sun, venus, and mars...yes, there's a stellium in my chart). I know inconjuncts are considered a hard aspect, but there seem to be some differing opinions on whether they function more like oppositions or squares in synastry (since oppositions are thought to be a bit easier to deal with than squares). While most people agree that inconjuncts are difficult to work with, some appear to believe that they're virtually the kiss of death (since both the energy and the element conflict when two planets are inconjunct) while some others seem to think that there's nevertheless an element of intrigue and fascination. Granted, the fact that his moon creates some sort of tight aspect with these planets is probably preferable to the complete absence of any aspects between them...but the fact that we're talking about an inconjunct as well as his moon (since that's such a very important planet in synastry) gives me pause.
