Relationship Astrology Everyone Should Know!
Or: There's a Cosmic Reason for Every Love Affair
* Astrology is an ancient symbolic language that helps
explain the relationship between the infinite and the human
* Astrology consists of the Zodiac, which is the background
of the heavens. The view from Earth into the Zodiac beyond
is divided into signs. Different people are born under different
signs.
As the earth rotates around the Sun once every year, the
earth appears to enter into various signs of the zodiac.
One's Sun Sign can show some very basic factors,
especially when viewed in the context of the rest of the
chart, including houses, angles, and aspects to the Moon
and planets.

The Four Elements and Human Attraction
ARIES, LEO and SAGITTARIUS are known as FIRE SIGNS
TAURUS, VIRGO and CAPRICORN are known as EARTH SIGNS
GEMINI, LIBRA and AQUARIUS are known as AIR SIGNS
CANCER, SCORPIO and PISCES are known as WATER SIGNS.
People who have a number of planets, Moon and Sun, in ONE
element (Fire, Earth, Air or Water), will be naturally attractive -- and
attracted to -- people who have the SAME or compatible elements
featured strongly in THEIR charts. Opposite elements, such as
WATER and FIRE ,will often repel rather than attract.
"Sun Sign Astrology" is, however, just a small part of
Astrology!
One's MOON SIGNS are very important, because they
indicate one's emotional state
and native intuition, our maternal and protective nature -often, the mother herself..
Although Sun and Moon are extremely important in astrology,
so are the exact positions, by sign and house and aspect, of
the planets: Lunar and planetary SIGNS are determined using
on-line databases or a printed "Ephemeris of the Planet's
Places".
*Mercury, the planet of the mind and communications. Can't establish mental rapport?
Can't express yourself clearly to your friend or love? It is almost always a Mercury problem.
*Venus, the planet of hobbies, love, femininity, music & art. Think of Venus (Aphrodite to
the ancient Greeks), as the perfect woman and all her qualities of affection and beauty..
*Mars, can be good or bad, since it is the planet of the male and of good, productive energy
and sexuality, as well as hard work, anger, war and strife.
*Jupiter, the planet of generosity, security, benevolence, healing and helpful energy,
Jupiter's huge gravity protects the inner planets from asteroids and comets.
*Saturn, the karmic planet which teaches lessons, depending on where it is in a
chart, or between any two charts. Saturn often takes away things, causing frustration and
sometimes, pain. A badly placed Saturn vis-a-vis another person's chart, can hurt a
relationship badly.
*Uranus, the planet of the unexpected, the genius, the inventor -- but also the inconsistent
person, the thoughtless and at time, selfish friend or lover.
*Neptune, the planet of subtle energy, mystery, the peculiar, inspiration as well as
obsession and sometimes delusion and danger. Neptune injects idealism but often confusion
when it connects two charts with prominent aspects.
*Pluto, the planet of extreme wealth, the urge to power, and sometimes, the
demonic. One person may secretly strive to overcome or conquer another, as shown in a
'bad' Pluto placement between the two charts.
The above planets work better
in certain signs than in others.
SUN is best in Leo, not so good in Aquarius
MOON is best in Cancer, not so good in Capricorn
Mercury is best in Gemini as well as Virgo, not so good in Sagittarius or Pisces
Venus is best in Taurus and Libra, not so good in Scorpio or Aries
Mars is best in Aries and Scorpio not so good in Libra or Taurus
Jupiter is best in Sagittarius, not so good in Gemini
Saturn is best in Capricorn, not so good in Cancer
Uranus is best in Aquarius, not so good in Leo
Neptune is best in Pisces, not so good in Virgo
Pluto is best in Scorpio, not so good in Taurus.
Ceres and Juno seem to work better in the female signs: Taurus, Cancer,
Virgo, Scorpio, and Pisces
The All-Important Planetary Aspects Between Charts!
ASPECTS from each of one person's Sun, Moon and
planets to the other person's Sun, Moon and planets, will
consistently show the chances of having an easy or
stressful, good or bad, relationship with any given
person...
...as long as the birth data is correct.
The important aspects between planets include:
Conjunction -- same place. Very strong combination, for
good or bad.
Opposition -- opposite place. Must achieve a balance,
or is perceived as unbalanced.
Square -- ninety degrees apart. Tension and stress that
can be hard to deal with.
Trine -- one hundred twenty degrees apart. Relates
easily, smoothly, with each other.
Sextile -- sixty degrees apart. Potential for harmonious
and inspiring relationship.
ASPECTS
Aspects can help or hurt one's own chart, and aspects
between your chart and someone else's chart will help
indicate how any relationship is likely to work out.
Aspects between one chart's clusters of Sun, Moon
and/or "good" planets and the other person's Ascendant,
Midheaven, 7th House (Marriage) cusp, and 4th House
(Home) cusp help indicate a good potential
relationship. One person's negative planets on the other
person's important angles can help bring a relationship
to an untimely end.
Powerful negative aspects between any two charts
often coincide with unhappy relationships and often,
the kind of strong dislike "at first glance" that keeps
the two people from getting into any kind of
relationship at all.
"Hard" Sun conjunctions, squares and oppositions may
show clashes over who leads and who follows. Mars,
Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto conjunctions,
squares, and oppositions may show basic differences,
often involving basic beliefs, one's family, etc.
"Hard" Moon conjunctions, squares and oppositions,
especially to Mars, Saturn, Uranus and Pluto, can cause
a hard time empathizing or sympathizing with each other.
Mercury squares and oppositions often bring
communication problems to the two people involved.
"Hard" Mercury-Mars aspects may lead to simmering
long-term conflicts that can erode the happiness of an
otherwise suitable friendship or romance.
Mars conjunctions, squares, and oppositions may
cause angry and frustrated reactions that can lead to
disagreements and separations. Mars--Saturn can
cause people to become outright enemies, and Mars-Uranus often causes intermittent contact rather than a
smooth, settled contact. Mars--Pluto conflicts can be for
power and control within a relationship that can leave
nothing good behind. Often the Pluto individual tries to
sabotage or corrupt the other party.
Powerful positive "Easy" aspects between any two
charts are indicative of happy, positive, and progressive
relationships that may include friendship and sometimes
romantic and sexual attraction.
One's MOON in good contact with the other person's
SUN is very good indeed, also Sun-to-Sun, and Moonto-Moon. Moon to Mercury shows feelings and thoughts
will be aligned well. Venus to the other person's Sun,
Moon or Mercury shows a liking for each other based on
some common interests, hobbies, and the "cuteness" of
the other party. Good Mars aspects help people work
together effectively, and if dominated by strong Mars
aspects, the whole relationship may focus on work and
striving after success, sports, etc
A Word About Tarot... .
Tarot cards go back to at least the 1400's and possibly
much earlier. They likely originated in the Middle East,
perhaps in Egypt. The gypsies used them throughout
Europe. There are numerous Tarot decks -- probably close
to 10,000 different ones around the world. The most
popular in the United States is the Waite-Rider Deck,
devised by English occultist Arthur Edward Waite and
illustrated by Pamela Colman Smith around 1909. Another
popular deck is the Thoth Deck of notorious English
occultist Aleister Crowley. A certain French Tarot reader,
Madame Lenormand, gave her name to a number of decks
that have been used since the time of Napoleon
Bonaparte.
Find a Tarot deck that you like. You will find that one deck
"speaks to you", you like and understand the symbols and
meanings, while others may not work out so well for
you. The same goes for Tarot readers. Beware of
unethical "fortune tellers", who are often generically, and
sometimes unfairly, called "gypsies".
It is important not to become obsessed with Tarot or any
other predictive tool. Some people become obsessed by
the cards. The cards should not be consulted day after day
after day and never should the same question be asked
again and again. .
TAROT is an intuitive, often seemingly "magical" tool that often
brings answers to the questions about love affairs and
friendships that may be hard to answer in day-to-day life. Tarot
can help answer any question, including "Does he love
me?" "Should I work with this person as my boss?" "Is there a
good or not-so-good chance of fertility, and what is the chance
of having children and raising them successfully with this
person?" Serendipity, or what I call the Magical Nature of our
Universe, often make the cards give relevant and suggestive
answers. Otherwise they would not be used by so many
people to get answers to their everyday problems and for
sheer entertainment value. It is clear that many different types
of questions may find answers in the universal symbols of the
Tarot cards.
