The Moon trine Venus is one of the nicest aspects in synastry. By itself, it can signify compatibility, even if there are a lot of difficult aspects between the two charts.
The Moon is extremely important in synastry. In some ways, it is more important than the Sun. The Moon governs everything concerning day-to-day life.
Venus is the main planet that signifies relationships. It governs what we like and are attracted too. It also signifies how we show love and affection.
A trine is a pleasant and harmonious aspect. In synastry, it shows areas in which two people have an easy time relating to one another.
Moon Trine Venus in Synastry
If two people have the Moon trine Venus, they will feel extremely comfortable with one another. From the moment that they meet, they will feel like they have known each other all of their lives.
This will be the case even if it does not seem like they have much in common. It is possible that neither of them will be able to verbalize what their connection is. It will just feel quite strong.
Even if the other synastry aspects between the two are very difficult, Moon trine Venus will be able to overcome these difficulties. If they fight, they will both feel a strong compulsion to find a way to reconcile.
Although the general reading of this aspect is positive, there are many variations depending on the signs involved. Below are the special cases by element.
Fire Signs (Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius)
Aries is not very receptive to Venus, so if either person has the Moon in Aries, this will lessen the benefits of this aspect.
It will still be mildly positive, but it will be much weaker than it would be with other sign combinations. In particular, the person with the Moon in Aries be more comfortable with conflict and feel less internal pressure to make up after fights.
Earth Signs (Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn)
Any possible combination of this aspect will be modified in some way if it occurs in Earth Signs.
The best possible combination if it occurs in Earth Signs is Moon in Taurus and Venus in Virgo. People with Venus in Virgo tend to have a hard time with relationships in general, but a person with Moon in Taurus can calm them and smooth over their rough edges.
The combination is not as good if the planets are reversed, however, and the Moon is in Virgo and Venus is in Taurus. In this case, the person whose Moon is in Virgo will tend to be quite critical of the other person. The person with Venus in Taurus, however, will feel a great affinity for the other, however, which will help a great deal.
The situation is similar with the Moon in Taurus and Venus in Capricorn. It this case, it will be the person with the Moon in Taurus who will work hard to keep the relationship harmonious.
The absolute worse combination is Moon in Virgo and Venus in Capricorn. Even in this case, the aspect does not become negative, but the positive benefits are quite weak.
Air Signs (Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius)
Venus rules Libra, so if either person has the Moon in Libra, they will be very receptive to the other person. In this case, the aspect will be even more positive than it would ordinarily be.
Water Signs (Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces)
Moon in Pisces and Venus in Cancer is not only the best combination of this aspect in Water Signs, but the best combination overall. They will feel like instant soulmates, and unless the other aspects between them are very negative, their relationship will last a lifetime.
Moon in Cancer and Venus in Pisces is also quite positive, and it will strengthen the benefits of this aspect.
The situation becomes much more complicated if Scorpio is involved in any combination. Scorpio rejects both the Moon and Venus.
It is a little easier if either the other person has either the Moon is in Pisces or Venus is in Cancer, which will make them more motivated to work on the relationship.
House Position
It is also important to consider the house positions involved in the charts of both people.

Man’s Moon Trine Woman’s Venus Relationship
This gender combination for the Moon trine Venus makes it even better.
You can not tell a person’s gender from their birth chart, and everyone has all of the planets in their charts. Even so, astrology speaks to all of life including matters of gender.
Everyone has the planet Venus in their charts, regardless of gender. All of the planets have multiple roles, including Venus. That being said, when one is looking for matters regarding femininity, Venus is the main significator.
When woman’s Venus is trine a man’s Moon, the manner in which she expresses her femininity will be pleasing to him. He, in turn, will make her feel beautiful and sexy by his natural responses to her.
This will go a long way towards cementing a strong and long-lasting relationship between the two, even if there are other aspects between them that are problematic.
Woman’s Moon Trine Man’s Venus Relationship
Moon trine Venus is helpful in any romantic relationship, particularly one that is to last a long time.
One of the half-truths about Venus is that it represents sex and romantic love. Yes, Venus does govern them, but it has a much broader jurisdiction as well. Venus governs love in all of its forms.
When a man’s Venus trines a woman’s Moon, she will tend to find him very sexy on a deep, emotional level. This will bring them together.
But this is more than just a brief, fleeting attraction. It gives the two the ability to form a deep and permanent bond that will not be easily severed.
Moon Trine Venus in Friendship
As discussed above, Venus governs love in all of its forms, and that includes love between friends.
This aspect will create a deep and abiding friendship between two people. They will feel a natural affinity for one another and will find great comfort in each other’s presence.
These are friends that will be there for each other through all of life’s twists and turns.
In some ways, this friendship has the potential to be stronger and deeper than either of their romantic relationships. Even so, it is not likely to spark jealousy in either of their romantic partners.
There is something about the way that they relate to each other that also generates trust. They will each care enough about each other to safeguard the relationship that either or both of them have with their significant other.
How to Tell if the Moon is Trine Venus in Synastry
If one person’s Moon is in a sign of the same element as another person’s Venus, some of the influence of the trine will be present.
The graphic below shows the trines by element:

The allowable margin of error for aspects between the Moon and Venus is nine degrees, and the closer the aspect is to exact the better it will be.
If the planets are within nine degrees of a perfect trine from the wrong signs, this is known as a cross-sign aspect. In this case, they will be in signs that are naturally antithetic to each other.
The Moon trine Venus is a powerful positive aspect. Because of this, it will have some influence, even across signs. It will create a bond that will soften the negative effects of the Whole Sign aspect or lack thereof.
Conclusion
The Moon trine Venus is a strong, powerful aspect that will create a deep bond between people in any type of relationship.
This bond will not be easily broken, even in the face of other difficult aspects between the charts.
