the downward spiral

🔥Venus and Ascendant aspects: Strong physical attraction in particular, even with the harder aspects, even though at times it can difficult. The sexual chemistry is strong af. They tend to idolise each other though, especially for Venus personally to the ascendant person. This of course is more mutual and harmonious with positive aspects(this includes conjunction).
🔥Mars aspecting Mars: The harsh aspects will be explosive to say the least, and likely impulsive and instantaneous even if they clash a lot. Harmonious aspects are still hot and heavy and cannot get enough of each other. There’s still strong desire for one another.
🔥Moon aspecting Mars: Mars desires the emotional qualities of the Moon and Moon is attracted to Mars energy and drive. Normally, the favourable aspects are better with this, including conjunction. This is also a major baby making aspect (obviously depending on other contributing aspects/factors).
🔥Venus aspecting Pluto: I LOVE the conjunction with this one and I know that’s an unpopular opinion but it’s sooo hot. Whilst it can get possessive and jealous, if you’re both mature enough people it won’t get unhealthy (imo). As much as I don’t have the conjunction, harsher aspects are more difficult to work with but the chemistry is unreal. You’re so attracted to each other regardless of the aspect. You’ll want to do each other anywhere and everywhere.
🔥Sun aspecting Mars: Again, even the harsh aspects create strong sexual energy between two people. Intense sexual attraction and with positive aspects your bodies seem to move in sync with each others naturally. Harsher aspects tend to be more rough but all aspects are hot and heavy.
🔥Sun aspecting Venus: I’d emphasise the positive aspects more on this one, maybe opposition too, but not always square. Because this is more the lovey-dovey, I wanna make love to you type of aspect. It’s gooey and romantic more than anything but the sexual tension is still intense.
🔥Venus aspecting Mars: this one is a classic and I think it can go a long way, even if the signs are not in the degree enough to make an aspect(for example a cancer Venus at 20° and Scorpio Mars at 10°). It can still be intense and both parties are attracted to each other. Squares are hot af in this aspect btw but tend to be complicated in the long run(again depending on other aspects).
🔥Mars aspecting Pluto: You’re instantly drawn to one another. They’re both fascinated with each other and can’t explain why. They can’t stay away from each other and the sex can get kinky👀 even with harsher aspects.
🔥8th house placements(particularly Venus, Mars, Lilith and Moon): As controversial as this placement is, you can’t deny the attraction you feel to one another. The sex here is intense and you can’t explain the emotional connection to the other person. It can be unsettling and deep but you can’t stay away from each other. Sex is otherworldly .

(My observations as someone who has this stellium)
Solitude
feeling alienated from others or getting easily exhausted by people's energy, especially in group settings
you can have the ability to read people extremely easily. You can be in the presence of someone you've just met and already feel that something is off
only feeling like you can be yourself when alone
more prone to cut people off, distance, or ghost
enjoy spending time on creative projects, journalling, interests alone
Disconnection
constantly feeling like there's a fog separating you from the world around you and other people
either experiencing chronic dissociation or having episodes of it
feeling inhuman or unreal, like you were dropped onto Earth with no incentive
feeling like you have one foot in another realm at all times
Living more in your mind than in real life or constantly using escapism as a coping mechanism (music, movies, substances, limerence, daydreaming**, social media, etc.)
Projection
having others tell you who you are despite them only knowing surface level information
constantly feeling misunderstood or like no one knows the true you
putting on a mask in front of others, usually unintentionally
being a mirror to other people, they can see themselves and react accordingly
people becoming obsessed with you, either hating you or seeing you as their ideal (especially with Venus/Lilith)
people can describe you as being mysterious, quiet, or like you have your head in the clouds
this can be applicable to 8th house placements/stelliums
Paranormal
seeing shadow figures or experiencing unexplainable things, especially in childhood
being extremely sensitive to your environment and having the ability to pick up on things that others don't notice
prophetic or really surreal/vivid dreams
being really in tune with your subconscious mind while also feeling blocked off from it
again, also applies to 8th house (there's a lot of crossover lol)
I'll be doing a part 2 to this because there's more that I want to touch on
Virgo placements:
It doesn't have to be perfect!
But I want it to be
