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. Friction can be a good thing -- after all, the same energy that makes you lust after each other also makes you fight. And we all know that a good argument, like good sex, clears the air and lets you know your passion is alive! The same goes for differences between you in the ways that you think and view the world: These contrasts keep the relationship dynamic.
Karma, on the other hand, isn't such a great thing, even if your past-life bonds were positive ones. This lifetime is... Read more

Mars square Sun
Do you smell smoke? Because you and your lover are a potent -- some would say dangerous -- combination. At best you are partners in crime, both blessed with a verve and drive that propels you through life with the force of a bullet shot out of a gun. At worst, you're deadly enemies. You ir...
Venus square Jupiter
If the two of you were pieces of clothing, you'd be a brilliant silk scarf, and your lover a heavy wool muffler. Each has their place in a wardrobe, but they're not so great worn together. Get the picture? You and your sweetie are an odd pair. You're a social butterfly, a gleeful hedonist,...
Jupiter square Venus
You can be a real pain in the butt, and we wouldn't blame your sweetie for booting you right out the door. Lucky for you, things haven't gotten that bad yet -- but you're pushing your luck. The fact of the matter is that you chose a lover who doesn't harmonize with you naturally. They tend...
Mars square Pluto
Green really doesn't suit you. You've become so jealous of your sweetie -- you demand every bit of free time, you don't approve of your lover's friends. And around the edges of your consciousness sneaks the suspicion that you aren't the only one your lover has on a string. It's only natura...
Sun square Pluto
Color you green, because you're feeling possessive and ill-tempered. You landed yourself a big fish this time: powerful, magnetic, impressive. Every head turns when you walk in the room with this special someone on your arm, and you like it. You've been basking in the reflected glow of you...
Jupiter square Mercury
Nag, nag, nag. You can hardly blame your lover for turning off -- your needle's stuck in a groove, and you're running over the same script once again. Was it by design that you fell into being the bad-guy parent, the scolding teacher? Or did it just somehow happen, with you viewing your re...
Saturn square Neptune
Romantic success seems so tantalizingly close for you and your lover. But are you looking at things as they really are, or as you wish they were? There's something insubstantial in your pairing, something secret or unexpressed lurking right beneath the surface. Does one of you have issues ...
