The Friction, Differences and Karma Meters: every couple faces a certain set of challenges, and the number and type of challenges determine whether your relationship will be merely interesting or out-and-out difficult. At The Astrologer, we've broken down these challenges into three sections: sources of friction, the major differences between you, and the karmic ties from past lives that draw you together today.
On the first two meters, Friction and Differences, a score somewhere in the middle is probably best.

You've landed in one of those fairy tale relationships, but not in the good way. You bought the myth of love at first sight; hook, line and sinker. But there's no room for reality in your dream world. You're in love with love, not with your lover at all. In fact, you barely have an idea of...
Jupiter square Jupiter
Both of you view the other as rather pompous and arrogant. The irony? You see your lover's delusions of grandeur but don't recognize your own. You're every bit as stuck on yourself as your lover is on him/herself. You can't see that you despise the parts of your lover that mirror you? Is i...

What was the old Chinese proverb? May you live in exciting times, or something like that? What can you tell of exciting times, what with that great, frantic, scary sweetie you've grabbed hold of? The passion is something else, yes, oh yes, but the side-effects are brutal. You can't find yo...
