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

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.
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 from the past you've never admitted or worked through? Is one of you up to something secretive and unhealthy? Whatever the issue is, it's causing problems between you; problems you can't solve without owning up to exactly what's wrong.So sit together. Talk about your feelings. What are each of you looking for in your relationship? What is it you need that you're not getting? And, most painfully, what parts of you do your fear are unlovable? It could turn out that your fears and anxieties are not grounded in reality. And in any case, you must let the real you be known if you are to be loved and accepted. Let your true self be seen. Do not fear that when you open up you will be rejected. Your lover has tender regard for you; letting that love in to your private, bruised parts will start a glorious healing process.
Mars opposite Saturn
Boy, are you two out-of-sync. You're that annoying couple at the party who can't stop bickering over every little thing. You accuse your partner of being too pessimistic, too serious, too stuck in the mud. Your lover, on the other hand, finds you bossy and overbearing. You disagree over money. You don't approve of each other's career choices. And worst of all, your pairing brings out the greedy, grasping side of both of you. This makes it possible that one or both of you remains in the relationship merely to gain or hold on to money or status, instead of for true love. But there's always an other hand, and yours is overflowing with promise. You had the wisdom to choose a partner who is, as you accuse, serious -- but in the best possible way. Your lover is solid and down-to-earth, and very very worthwhile, if you can find a way to cool off the antagonism that drives you two apart. A suggestion? Stop finding fault. Focus on the qualities and dreams you share, rather than your differences. This is a relationship that's a challenge. But the rewards are more than worth the work.
Mercury opposite Saturn
Just one question: Is it uncomfortable in that niche your lover has squished you into? You're a person of big dreams and plans, a little grandiose, maybe, but you do manage to make at least some of your ambitions come to fruition. But whenever you start to talk over your heart's desires with your lover you get squelched. 'Oh, you'll never do that.' 'That's ridiculous.' 'No one would want to buy that.' Sound familiar? Your so-called sweetie tends to see you as flighty and flaky, and to relate to you more like you're a silly child rather than an adult to be taken seriously.It's gotten so you're more apt to share your feelings with someone else besides your loved one, and therein lies the danger. The more you get personal with someone else, the more you'll be tempted to stray. So if you're happy where you are, let it show. Don't let your dour lover get you down, instead, laugh and play and lighten your sweetie up. There's a solid source of support waiting for you if you guys can call a truce in your power struggle.
Saturn opposite Mercury
You've been hearing a laundry list of your failures, have you not? You're stiff. Serious. Absolutely no fun. A pain in the tush. And depressing to boot. It would all be unforgivable, if it weren't true. But your partner's no prize pig either, cursed with the knack of always saying the wrong thing at the wrong time, embarrassing you in front of friends and coworkers. What's interesting about the pair of you is that you hate in each other what you fear in yourselves. Your mate is well aware of a certain tendency towards sloth and slack, and hates the way your drive and stick-to-itiveness points up those failings. Meanwhile, you recognize in yourself a lack of lightness and fun.Instead of criticizing each other for what you lack, why not pass on your strengths? If you can bend a little, you can take on a few of your partner's quick, easy ways, be a little easier to approach. You could have more fun, in many areas of your life. Your mate, on the other hand, could stand a little more discipline and responsibility. Stop resisting. Relax. There's nothing that'll harm you here.
Mars quincunx Mars
For two people supposedly in love, you certainly rub each other the wrong way. Grouse and bicker, grouse and bicker -- you sound like ill-tempered siblings, not like lovers at all. You can't seem to make things run smoothly no matter how hard you try. There are misunderstandings galore; you zig when your partner zags, your lover wants time together at a time when you're craving solitude. And the impatience and frustration you both feel with each other isn't making anything any easier. Why is it that you seem to blurt out the absolutely worst thing to say at exactly the worst moment? Are you acting without thinking, or are you acting out your resentments? This relationship is a difficult nut to crack, but it's not necessarily DOA. If you truly love each other, act like it. Make a conscious effort to be kinder, more understanding, less demanding. Take care to communicate your needs and feelings gently, rather than raising your voice. Give your lover plenty of freedom and give yourself some 'me' time too. This relationship does not flow as naturally as some, but there is much to gain if you are willing to put in the work.
Mercury quincunx Mars
Other people envy you and your lover, because the two of you are equally lively and bright and seem so well-matched. You're a sparkling power couple, both blessed with magnetism and drive. But those jealous of your pairing aren't on the inside and thus don't see the problems. In truth, you and your sweetie have trouble finding common ground. Though you stimulate each other mentally, sometimes all the stimulation turns into irritation. You find it difficult to relax with each other, to go easily into that good night. You may have a lot of friction, or just a lot of awkward silences. The key lies in de-emphasizing your differences and playing up what you share in common. You both have an interest in politics, current events, debating controversial issues. Try to focus on these types of topics when you're with your sweetie, rather than devolving into discussions into what's wrong with your relationship, which have a way of turning sour fast. Oddly enough, even as you ignore your problems in favor of just enjoying one another's company, the problems will dwindle, and eventually disappear. Nice!
Jupiter quincunx Mercury
Mismatched beliefs lie at the core of your troubles, and things will get worse before they get better. It is likely that you have spent the last few years on some type of quest -- travel? Something spiritual? Advanced education? Your experiences have changed you, broadened your perspectives. And suddenly your lover doesn't seem to measure up. You feel like you can do better and that secret thought seems to add a negative energy to your pairing, playing a part in misunderstandings. Your lover, made nervous by these unconscious shifts, is apt to make big, startling decisions and say just the wrong thing to set you off. You must realize that though you've made big changes, your lover is still the same person you met and adored. Leave room in your personal growth curve for your sweetie. Don't expect your mate to keep up with the new you without some coaching. Instead, channel your natural generosity and slowly, gently, usher your mate into loving -- and living with -- the new you. Invite your lover into your life. This adjustment period will yield great rewards; don't give up just yet.
No conjunctions
There's glue, and then there's glue. Elmer's versus epoxy, Velcro versus nails. Fortunately, with no difficult conjunctions between you, your relationship is bound by the easy-to-separate type of togetherness, not the wild-horses-couldn't-drag-us-apart variety. Now, don't misunderstand: This is not to say that there's not a strong connection between you. But it's nice, isn't it, to be able to take the occasional separate vacation; to enjoy your own interests without your partner feeling threatened; to be two distinct individuals who choose to hang out together. Compare this to the joined-at-the-hip, can't-bear-to-be-apart couple. Don't you always wonder about them? What do they think will happen if they're not together for an entire evening, much less a day or even a week?Separation is not a problem for you two; in fact, you may do it by choice on a regular basis. After all, absence makes the heart grow fonder, and this is surely true of you and your partner. You take great joy in sharing your individual experiences, as well as in spending time together. If anything, you might have to make it a point to schedule in time to be together! You may each be so wrapped up in your own orbit that you suddenly realize that days or even weeks have gone by without you two sharing a full day together.Don't let that happen. Use the previous sections of this report to discover the challenges of your relationship, which so often turn out to be opportunities for growth and development. You two have chosen to be together, and likewise, you can choose to grow together.
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!
