On Sunday I watched a few games of Spanish football, but the most important moment of the weekend, in my opinion, did not happen on the pitch. It was a relief to see Fernando Torres seating in the box at the Vicente Calderon, already recovered after the big scare a few days earlier, and the affection to him showed by the crowd. I’m very happy that it wasn’t anything serious; he will be back scoring goals very soon, as always.
Fernando Torres x Juan Mata 🔮 Ship Compatibility Reading
Requested by anon
Fernando Torres - 20 March 1984 : Sun in Aries // Moon in Scorpio
Venus in Pisces // Mars in Scorpio // Rising Cancer
Juan Mata - 28 April 1988 : Sun in Taurus // Moon in Virgo (or Libra)
Venus in Gemini // Mars in Aquarius
🔮 Quick individual personality
Fernando, with his Sun in Aries and his Moon in Scorpio, is passionate and ambitious. He knows what he wants and don’t hesitate to go after it, directly or indirectly ... except maybe if it concern his love life where his Venus in Pisces soften him and the way he relates with the ones he loves.
Aries/Scorpio is a nice combination because it gives him every essential qualities to be a warrior. He is brave, unstoppable and a charismatic leader who inspires through his determination and loyalty.
He put a lot of his energy into his career because this is where he can be fully himself and shines the most.
There is also a shyness at first. He is defensive and suspicious of people’s intentions. His Cancer Rising is making him cautious and kinda makes us want to protect him, like a child.
Juan, has a solid Sun in Taurus who grounds him, he loves routines and he might be difficult for him to get rid of bad habits.
I’m not sure of his Moon placement : with a Virgo Moon, it gives him ever more stability but also a need for perfection, he can be overly critical and too dependent on rationality, always searching for security in concrete and material things ; if he has a Moon in Libra it give him more of a hedonistic approach to life and a lightness to his emotional self. He might always be in search for a partner and for social approval.
🔮 General Compatibility
Aries + Taurus is a tricky combo but there is a lot potential for individual growth, Fernando might think Juan is too slow, but through his friendship with him he can also learn to take his time and enjoy simple pleasure of life. Juan can get even more stubborn if he feels Fernando is pushing him too much to do stuff, but he can actually learn to be more spontaneous and less lazy.
For their Moon/emotional compatibility we have either :
Scorpio + Virgo which is one of my favorite sign combo in compatibility. They both feed the other one needs of security, Juan being loyal and stable and Fernando being able to trust Juan’s emotions and let his Scorpio tendencies express knowing Juan is here to help if needed. With a Moon in Virgo, Juan would be Fernando’s emotional support and keeping the relationship in order. Fernando can be the one testing the relationship and demanding constant prove of commitment.
or
Scorpio + Libra which is more difficult. Fernando might be a little too intense emotionally and Juan might feel like walking on thin eggs (is that the expression, idk) around him, being afraid to say or do something and breaking the harmony between them. But a harmonious relationship can still be achieve and maintain, the only condition is sacrificing Juan’s emotional well being (which he might agree to do ... for a while).
They have a (double) opposition Sun/Moon, it means they complete each other but there is a tension between their basic personality that forces them to base their relationship on compromise and understanding of the other point of view. From time to time, it can be exhausting to be around each other, feeling that your emotions are at the opposite of the person you are talking to, and will never be fully accepted.
As for the Synastry, Juan’s Sun fall into the 11th house of Fernando. It’s kinda the “friend at first sight” placement. They give a lot of freedom to each other and usually accept the other as he is without being too judgmental.
Even as couple, they are friend before anything else and this can lead to a no string attached type of relationship. This is at least how Juan sees it, and it goes very well with his Mars in Aquarius but can be more difficult for Fernando who need commitment with all the Scorpio in his Chart.
It’s not a deep or fated placement but it creates a positive atmosphere between them where both can grow and be free to be who they are.
If you want fated placement, just look at Juan’s Moon Falling into Fernando’s 4th house. Such an intense placement is not easy to deal with, especially for Juan who might need to take a break from Fernando from time to time to breathe.
This overlay create a family-like bound between the two of them, they instinctively know how the other feel and they feel at home when they are together, safe.
In Fernando point of view, Juan might remind him of his Mom or Dad, and depending of the quality of his relation with his parents, it can affect his relation with Juan, unconsciously projecting childhood problems onto Juan.
🔮 Love Compatibility
Venus in Pisces + Venus in Gemini (Venus in 12th of Nando)
Their Venus square each other. And so do their Mars. When they move from friendship to love, it becomes even more complicated. On one side we have Fernando, 100% Water (Venus in Pisces, Mars in Scorpio), and on the other side we have Juan, 100% Air (Venus in Gemini, Mars in Aquarius).
Fernando wants commitment, passion and deep emotions. He wants to become one with his partner.
Juan wants freedom, freedom and more freedom. Even though he loves to be around people and be in relationship with someone, he prefers to think a relationship than to feel it. As soon as he’s gonna feel slightly trapped, he is gonna fly away. And even more if his Moon is in Libra.
You can easily understand why it’s gonna be complicated ... But it creates an interesting tensions between them they are gonna want to adapt to the other and improve together. At least romantically.
Juan’s Venus fall into the 12th House of Fernando and it gives an hazy quality to their relationship. It feels like a dream come true, but somehow nether of them can explain why or what is going on. It’s a mystical connection.
They both feel vulnerable but not because they feel threatened or insecure, just because they don’t really know why they are pushed toward each other. Without this understanding, they might also feel nothing is really keeping them together and at some point it is gonna end and they still wont understand why it started and why it ended.
This overlay can be an indicator of a relationship who is based on secrets, like a secret romance, in any shape or form (secret love affair, or they have to hide for some reason, or one is in love but keep it secret and don’t tell the other, or there is just a lot of secrets around/between them ...).
🔮 Sexual Compatibility
Fernando’s Mars in Scorpio and Juan’s Mars in Aquarius is a difficult one to deal with. They both have very different way to express their sexual desire. Fernando is very deep and 100% focus on his partner, very sexual and intense lover ; Juan is more detached from the act, like i said, he can intellectualize a lot his sex drive and need his brain to be stimulated (just as much as his body) in order to be aroused.
However, there is a sexual tension and Fernando might go crazy trying to understand what is going on in Juan’s head, (is he attracted or not, does he plays it cool but means the opposite ...), and because Fernando (just like every Mars in Scorpio) can become even more attracted to something he can’t have or can’t quite figure out, he might become obsess with Juan. Who might freak out because he can’t deal with intensity and obsession. And just like a vicious circle, the more Juan resists, the more Fernando is attracted.
🔮 Conclusion
I personally feel like there is a lot of unconscious work going on in their relationship. They have this kind of friendship where spending time away from each other just make the relationship stronger, and they appreciate even more the time they do spend together.
