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.

Mercury square Venus
You certainly chose a partner who's a match for you, and that's a good thing, ultimately -- it just drives you nuts is all. It feels like you and your lover have difficulty understanding each other, particularly around emotional issues. And it's funny how a lot of things -- dishes, who's b...
Venus square Neptune
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 Mars
You and your lover egg each other on, and not in a good way. Apart you are able to focus your energies on a goal and reach it. Together you are apt to indulge yourself in all sorts of unhealthy ways. You may have run up large credit card bills, or be in some other sort of debt. You act too...
Mars square Saturn
First things first. Who's holding out in the love department? Signs point to your partner, who's stingy with affection in the best of times. But certain developments have practically shut the store down, and you're starving for physical contact. It's almost pathetic how far you'll go to tr...
Jupiter square Sun
What a couple of strutting peacocks you and your lover are! And like peacocks, you are magnificent, impressive, admired -- and rather disagreeable at times. Both you and your lover tend towards the big and bold. More is more for the pair of you, as you spend exorbitant amounts of money, ti...
Jupiter square Uranus
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...
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 ...
