Five-Dimensional Model of Emotional Relationships: Venus · Mercury · Mars · Moon · Sun
Each individual possesses unique emotional needs, and the quality of intimate relationships depends on dynamic alignment across multiple dimensions. This model uses planetary metaphors and integrates neuroscientific perspectives to decode the core logic of emotional connections.
I. Five-Dimensional Needs Analysis
| Dimension | Core Driver | Neural Metaphor (Symbolic) | Potential Risks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Venus | Aesthetic Appeal | Dopamine System | Complementary traits may later clash |
| Mercury | Intellectual Resonance | Serotonin System | Cognitive gaps lead to communication breakdown |
| Moon | Emotional Security | Oxytocin System | Mismatched needs cause chronic exhaustion |
| Sun | Value Validation | Endorphin System | Conflicting goals harm self-esteem |
| Mars | Primal Desire | Adrenaline System | Passion fades, leaving motivational voids |
Note: Neurotransmitter associations are symbolic; actual biological mechanisms are more complex.
II. Dynamic Priority Assessment
Principle of Individual Variability
Each person prioritizes dimensions dynamically based on life experiences and psychological development (analogous to planetary dignities/debilities in astrology).
Typical Demand Hierarchies
| Tier | Characteristics | Behavioral Patterns | Evolutionary Direction |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bronze | Venus + Mars Dominance | Physical attraction and hormonal drive | Build cognitive depth |
| Silver | Adds Mercury Demand | Escapist intellectual bonding | Establish emotional accountability |
| Gold | Activates Moon Dimension | Comfort without growth | Co-create value-driven goals |
| Master | Achieves Sun Consensus | Mutual growth partnership | Balance multidimensional needs |
Conflict Resolution Strategies
| Type | Typical Dilemma | Intervention Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Sun-Dominant | Tolerates friction but resists growth barriers | Co-develop a 10-year vision |
| Moon-Sensitive | Minor triggers spark emotional storms | Implement a “safe word” protocol |
| Venus-Addicted | Cycles through partners for novelty | Diversify dopamine sources |
III. Lifecycle Adjustment Mechanism
Emotional needs evolve across life stages:
- Youth Phase (18-35)
- Sun demand ↑↑ (anxiety about self-actualization)
- Moon tolerance ↑ (prioritizes growth over security)
- Midlife Phase (36-55)
- Moon demand ↑↑ (craving emotional belonging)
- Venus priority ↓↓ (diminished focus on appearance)
- Silver Years Phase (56+)
- Mercury demand ↑↑ (quest for existential meaning)
- Moon demand ↑↑↑ (mutual companionship)
Model Value: Transcends traditional binary compatibility theories by providing a quantifiable framework for analyzing intimacy, emphasizing that dynamic adaptation surpasses static compatibility. Recommended for periodic relationship evaluation and repair aligned with individual life rhythms.
