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

Venus square Pluto
Oooh, is your lover ever hot. Your friends are all jealous of you. How ever did you bag such a magnetic, sexy specimen? You're in awe yourself, so attracted that you can barely think -- and there's the rub. All your life you've been able to wrap lovers around your little finger with your sultry and seductive power, but this time you've found a sweetie who won't let you have the upper hand. You're waiting around for phone calls. You're letting your lover decide where you go, and when, and how. You're even keeping silent rather than expressing any negative feelings, for fear of your lover running in the other direction. Ouch! Doesn't it feel awful to be so squelched -- even if it's you who's doing the squelching?Here's a little secret -- as much as your lover seems to want to control you, giving all your power away will soon make your sweetie view you with contempt, not adoration. Marshall your confidence and fight back. Ask for what you want. Demand equal time and equal power. In this case, winning a few battles is the only way you can ultimately win the war.
Sun square Mercury
How often have you stared at your sweetie with a gaping jaw, wondering what on earth they could be thinking? Misunderstandings haunt your pairing. Both of you mean well, but at times it's as if you're speaking different languages. And you, with your galloping ego, get all huffy puffy, fueling the friction that's always simmering between the pair of you. You rage. Your lover clams up. A roaring silence stretches between you, both of you feeling too stubborn to break the tension.But the power to fix this relationship lies in your hands. You picked yourself a mercurial, restless, enigmatic lover for a reason -- you find the challenge intriguing and sexy. Go with it. Learn to be comfortable with a bit of mystery. You're never going to wallow in perfect, contented understanding with your sweetie; instead you'll have an exciting lover who stirs you up. Argue and debate as a prelude to passion rather than letting your quibbles put a wedge between you. You could have something very, very hot if you're willing to forego serenity.
Mercury square Mercury
This relationship hasn't been easy from the beginning, and frankly, it's a wonder you've made it this far. You and your lover lack common ground. You have different beliefs and attitudes -- it could be you adhere to different political affiliations, or don't share common views on morals and ethics. In any case, your differences of opinion drive you apart. You start out in a friendly debate, but as both of you yak and yak away you cease to listen to each other. You feel you're constantly being interrupted, as if you can't get your words out. You don't see eye-to-eye, and it seems like you never will. But don't be so quick to turn your back on this sweetie. While it's true that things are sometimes strained between you, there is much potential for your future. Though it's hard for you to understand each other, you must keep working on it. In your heart of hearts, you share more than you realize. Keep on plugging. Keep on talking. Try to listen, and hear the intent behind the words as well as what's being said. You could really bring out the best in each other, somehow, someday.
Saturn square Mercury
The two of you just can't seem to make a go of it. You're suspicious of each other. You don't see eye-to-eye. You, in particular, view your mate with a kind of contempt. That slippery, glib sweetie of yours can be a lot of fun, but seems awfully insubstantial. You can't get the kind of security you crave. It feels as if your lover won't commit. Worse, they have an awful tendency to blurt out the wrong thing in the wrong moment, and let loose some uncomfortable, unvarnished truths that linger in your mind long after the moment has passed.The key to your problems lies in your past, both distant and recent. Problems you faced long ago have left their marks. You're closed where you should be open, secretive and distant where you should be accepting and warm. You're not going to get anywhere on your current path -- why do you hold on so tightly to old, negative patterns? Some work on yourself will result in a sweet thaw between you two. Your lover is waiting for a cue to let loose a torrent of love; all you need do is open up and let it in.
Venus opposite Saturn
This relationship is certainly an odd duck. Did you two come together out of love, or was there more to it? Aspects in your pairing point out a relationship that is forced, rather than natural. Is one of you in it for the money? Were you paired up by family, or is one of you trying to get something from the other? Putting this aside, this is not a relationship that seems to unfold naturally. You do not have much in common, since you are attuned to relationships with people and your social life, and your partner's attentions are mired in the workaday world. Your sweetie no doubt views you as rather self-indulgent, lazy and flighty; while you find your mate nitpicky and rather cold. You find it difficult to be affectionate with your mate and feel resentful of being held to certain standards. On the other hand, your partner can bring out much good in you. Inside you is a person that can act with verve and power, a person you've allowed to loaf beneath your fun-loving exterior. Permit your partner to activate this facet of your personality and you'll become much more, both together and within yourself.
Mars opposite Neptune
Pity your poor lover, because you can be awfully hard to live with. You're constantly annoyed with your sweetie, viewing your lover's dreamy, drifting nature as lazy and unmotivated. You demand changes, effective yesterday. But what you're asking for is both unreasonable and unkind. You simply didn't chose a lover that is able to keep up with you intellectually and physically. Your lover isn't the mover and shaker type. Instead, you chose yourself a sweet, well-meaning, lovable person who just happens to be a little spacey and emotional. The shame is that you chose with your eyes open, and now you're demanding that things be different.Papering over the problems you've created will be a lot easier if you accept reality and stop wishing for something else. Your lover will always be a little out-there -- and that's part of the charm of your pairing, because it gives you permission to slow down a little. So why don't you? Just relax and allow yourself an idyll. Your lover has much to teach you if you could stop blustering and demanding what you think you want. Embrace the calm. Embrace the dreaminess. Just let go; there's a sweet release awaiting you.
Jupiter opposite Uranus
This one's knocked you off your pins. You're usually the confident one who breezes through life and love with admirable ease. But this time you've chosen a lover who excites you so wildly, who sets your nerve endings aflame -- but who can't be trusted even as far as you can throw them. What's your lover so darned secretive about? Who are the people who call and leave messages? Where is your lover when you're not about? The questions tickle your brain, and, embarrassingly, spill out of your mouth. You get no reassurance, only detachment. So you want to hold on tighter and thus the cycle continues.Part of the problem could lie in the way you're pushing to have everything all nailed down and tied up. You want to know your lover's intentions. But your lover isn't even sure of those intentions. So why push? You must know by now that it's getting you nowhere. Why not ride instead on your self-assured side? Be a little more mysterious and sufficient yourself. Your lover will come hither if you can ease off on the pressure, and you can start a whole new positive cycle instead of continuing your negative one.
Saturn quincunx Mars
Why have you assigned yourself the lowest rung on the ladder? While it's true that your lover is somewhat intimidating, all passion and fire and aggression, you're a star in your own right, albeit a somewhat less showy one. You humbly hope that others will see your worth, but you hide your own light. Don't play the part of a shrinking violet, afraid to ask for (or even demand!) what you want. Your mate will never respect quiet submission. Instead, stand up to your sweetie. Speak your mind. You have a right to an equal say in your lives together, even though you feel somewhat timid when faced with your mate's firm convictions and aggressive ways of getting things done.Being this upfront may make you uncomfortable for a time. But work through this discomfort, for it is only temporary. In the meantime, your partner will gradually grow to respect you more, appreciate your connection more fully. Right now you are viewed as something of a pushover. Wouldn't you rather be a peer and an equal? Stand up and take your due. There's no reason to feel like second best for one moment longer.
Mars conjunct Saturn
Your relationship is similar to those high school matchups between the head cheerleader and the quarterback -- the couple looks great together, and everyone cheers them on, but when all is said and done they're together more out of politics than passion. So it is with you and your mate. Yours may be a hookup of practicality and convenience, creating stability for your partner and a dead weight for you. Your partner seems to block you at every step, throwing buckets of cold water on all your hot ideas, until, frankly, you don't feel like sharing anymore. You'd do it on your own but they control the pursestrings, the schedule, and the keys to the shed. You could -- and probably do -- scream with frustration.Spending more time alone is key for you. Though it is only natural for two powerful and important people to spend time networking to stay that way, warmth will only develop if you give it time. Suggest romantic getaways. Give your tense lover a massage. Stay in bed late snuggling. No, you won't get as much done. But you'll have a lot more fun doing it.
I hope you have enjoyed the valuable insight, wisdom and guidance of this astrology report. You might be a little curious about astrology and perhaps wondering how an astrologer can know so much about you!
Astrology is a mathematical system. It's all about applying meaning to numbers, or more specifically, finding meaning in the movements of the planets around the Sun, as viewed from our perspective here on earth. These planetary movements are easily captured and recorded with measurements, calculations, angles and so on.
That's why astrology works so well with computers, whose programs are also based on numbers and formulas. In 'the old days' -- thousands of years ago, when astrology was first recorded -- those early astrologers had to painstakingly observe the heavens and catalog their observations for the next generation of astrologers to build upon. Thank goodness for the computer age! Now we can simply use computers to make those calculations quickly and pull just the applicable pieces of information. Now, astrology is instant, based upon thousands of years of observations obtained through careful methodology.
Interpretations of planetary positions are based in part on ancient Greek and Roman mythology, but your astrological report is unique, describing you and you only. Even in the case of twin siblings, their birth charts differ from each other's in at least a few ways. And besides, no one amounts to just a simple interpretation of their birth chart; everyone's personality is complex. Your astrological report leaves plenty of room for variations based on your free will, personal growth and transformation over a lifetime.
Just like you, your astrological report is unique. It’s generated online in seconds and provides you with instant insight at your fingertips. Whether you have a pressing question about your future or you just want some guidance and direction, now you can have it all -- in a fast, focused, all-about-you format.
You can choose from several different types to find the report that's right for you and your needs. Your natal report is all about you -- your unique characteristics, strengths, weaknesses, potential and so on. Compatibility reports analyze the connections between two different people, to see how well and in what ways they get along. And a forecast is based on where the planets are today and how they're affecting you, uniquely. Be sure to try a free sample of another report to find out more about you!
