| Relationships are unique entities; no two are alike.
As a tool for analyzing relationships, the art of synastry, as it has been practiced by astrologers for thousands of years, has no equal. Astrologically, each individual is represented by a chart of the planetary positions for the moment of birth. By comparing and contrasting the inter-relationships of two separate charts, the astrologer can reveal the many ways and levels in which two people relate to each other. Creative relationships, as well as difficult and relatively unrewarding ones, are recognised clearly and objectively. Synastry allows us to see the precise nature of relationships' strengths and difficulties, giving the persons involved insightful and useful advice about what is happening between and through them, as well as possible solutions to the problems they face with each other. The chemistry of two people coming together acts as a catalyst for emotions and events, giving the interaction an obvious life of its own. A relationship forms a whole that is much greater than the sum of its parts. For example, sometimes you will find in the charts of lovers an aspect between Venus and Mars. It has often been stated that the Mars partner will be the more active one, and the Venus partner the more passive. But suppose that Venus is provoking Mars to into action. Here the knot of cause and effect is not so easily unravelled. And the dynamics of the relationship can be equally ambiguous. You get a sense that the energy produced from the contacts between two charts 'works both ways', back and forth across the interface of the relationship, resulting in the spontaneous arising of an entirely new third entity. Every relationship contains points of similarity and harmony as well as points of contention and discord. Through understanding, it is possible to cultivate and encourage the positive, and to keep relationships growing and fruitful through the highs and lows of passing years. But even the points of conflict can be used to advantage. Believe it or not, conflict is energizing. It adds a dynamism to a relationship which may otherwise stagnate and grind down into monotony. Research has shown that successful relationships are not so dependent on how much we have in common, as on how we manage the areas of conflict - how we find a middle ground. Living, creative relationships contain both affinities and differences, at least enough to keep them interactive and interesting! This profile analyses a relationship from the first person's point of view and interprets the astrological connections between the two charts. The first section, 'How You Approach Relationships' considers only the first person's chart, and is relevant for all relationships this individual makes. How this person relates specifically with the second person is analyzed in the rest of the report, where each paragraph interprets a contact between the two charts from the first person's point of view. To get the full story, run two reports - one for each person's point of view. The text here pertains to this one relationship only and should be understood in light of the actual nature of the relationship. |

| By way of confirmation, this report is a comparison between the following two profiles:
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| How You Handle Relationships | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Libra on the 7th House Cusp You tend to be impetuous and daring in the way you come across. Your seeming innocence does not always make up for a tendency to be too direct at times - some might say rude. You fall in love easily, often, and you are not afraid to rush into a relationship. Above all, you always seem to go after those with manners, education and a dignified appearance. You love to be the bull in someone's china shop. You tend to seek a real diplomat for a partner, one who delights in smoothing over your rough spots. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Venus Ruler of the 7th House With you, good looks count a lot. You like partners who are charming, refined and appreciate the better things in life. You may depend on them for appreciation and love, and you probably share the same set of values. They tend to dote on you and you like it that way. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mercury in the 7th House Everything seems to move through you once you get around other people. You have real communication skills that make you a perfect interface for others - the negotiator. You value intelligence and articulation, especially in a partner. You are never happier than when you find yourself in meaningful conversation, surrounded by sparkling wit, clever thoughts, and all that is mercurial. You may come to know writers, reporters, announcers, and investigators. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Sun Semisquare Venus You may have trouble giving yourself credit and appreciating yourself for who you really are. You can be torn between grand ideas of some ideal love for all beings in a very abstract sense as opposed to loving real people on a day-to-day level, as they actually are. Others may accuse you of being selfish, or ungrateful -- of not giving credit where credit is due. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Moon Opposite Pluto You have always felt vulnerable when deep emotional issues are brought up, and may have a history of avoiding confrontation and self-examination. You are ever so sensitive to ideas of death, helplessness, and vulnerability in general. You see them only too well, and they haunt you. There may well be some childhood experiences that were rough or harsh for you to accept. Any partner will have to tread very gently when it comes to matters of feelings and security. You may tend to dominate a relationship, but without success. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Moon Trine Mars You are attractive and tend to be physically active. You just might participate in or manage some athletic endeavor. You are in tune with your feelings and really know how to play a crowd for the maximum response. You can always count on support from those around you. You seldom hide how you feel and therefore are no stranger to an occasional argument. You probably got a lot of emotional support as a child, especially from your mother. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Moon Square Mercury You don't always say just what you mean. For that matter, you may sometimes not even know how you feel about something. You tend to envy people who can always put their finger on how they feel. It can be hard for you to talk about your feelings. Any partner will have to understand this about you. Are you often moody? Yes, probably. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Moon Trine Neptune You are enchanting, and can transport a group of people with your mesmerizing words, action, or music. Through you, others catch a glimpse of a world more unified than the one they find themselves in, and hear from you of the life they know exists beyond the mundane. Once under your spell, you could motivate them to do almost anything. You owe much to your upbringing, which tolerated and gave support to your dreamier side. You can be very compassionate, and understand the feminine side of life. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Moon Trine Uranus You have a knack for coming up with just what the crowd wants. You are nothing else if not an original. You can take an ordinary event and turn it into something brand new, really special. You may have had a somewhat unusual upbringing, and you like a partner who is independent and also a bit unusual. Things are seldom boring with you, for you always have just the right idea of what to do. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mercury Semisquare Neptune You are a real dreamer but can't always manage to put your vision into words. You may occasionally be accused of cloudy thinking and of letting your imagination run wild. There is a likelihood that you frequently get yourself into situations in which you are disappointed, or disappoint others. Some clear thinking on your part could prevent others from getting the feeling that you are intentionally misleading them. You may have trouble paying attention, keeping your mind on what you are doing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mercury Sextile Venus You love to talk and write, and you probably do so beautifully. Your sense of color, harmony, manners, and all that is artistic, is beyond reproach. You know quality, and people love to let you pick out art or arrange color schemes for them. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mercury Square Pluto You may have a tendency to poke your nose into others' business. You can't resist, and yet you're often afraid of what you'll find. Skeletons in the closet and sensitive areas of people's lives both fascinate and terrify you. You have trouble just coming right out and dealing with a touchy subject. It puts you through too many changes. You would rather snoop around. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mercury Opposite Saturn Everyone would agree that you make a good critic, although not everyone would agree that you are always fair. You don't like opposition. In conversations, you may find yourself squelching others' points of view. You have great mental endurance and tend to involve yourself in projects that most would find tedious. You like repetitive work. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mercury Opposite Jupiter You think you can get around doing things as you know they are supposed to be done. These shortcuts end up costing you a lot. You also tend to bite off more than you can chew and can have a million projects going at once. You get carried away with yourself easily in arguments, and those close to you sometimes accuse you of not being entirely fair with them. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mars Sextile Pluto You have always had a drive to delve into the unknown. The cosmos has real trouble keeping secrets from you once you have made your mind up to investigate. You have great perseverance and staying power. You work well in a crisis; emergencies of all kinds find you on the spot, ready to test your mettle. You are brave -- and unafraid of death or people. You do well with investments, property, and other people's money. You have very little sense of propriety and tend to call a spade a spade. You like to get your hands in the real stuff of life, blood and all. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mars Conjunct Neptune You are, from time to time, really inspired to the point of moving others with your enthusiasms. You exercise an almost hypnotic quality over those who listen in when your imagination takes over. Dreams, psychology, and all things occult and metaphysical are your especial province. You're never afraid to take the plunge when matters of idealism or imagination come to the fore. You feel and experience the unity of life -- that we are all in some way, one. Others sense this about you. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Your Relationship with Yoko | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Yoko's Sun in Your 12th House You may not be famous for your willingness to sacrifice, but if anyone can get you into this mode, it is Yoko. She has a way of encouraging you to let go of a whole lot of small grievances that you have hung onto in the past. Somehow it's very clear when you're with her that they are not worth the hassle. She really helps to separate the wheat from the chaff in your character. You get the feeling that you are about to be a lot better person. And this is not a totally unattractive feeling. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Yoko's Moon in Your 8th House There is almost a sense of mystery about your relationship with Yoko. You cannot hide things from her, so there are no formalities when you are around her. You feel exposed. The whole thing has a magnetic quality to it which both of you support. You tend to feed on this arrangement, with the result that the experience is strengthening and supportive. Aside from this you may be involved in some kind of financial partnership. She might act as your agent, or as a go-between. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Yoko's Mercury in Your 12th House You probably have some very unusual communication with Yoko. She is not afraid to speak about spiritual ideas and does not draw the line at just talking. You may find yourself examining your actions and motives when you are with her. You come away with a feeling that you need to give more of yourself, be more long-suffering, put up with more. She tends to bring out a self-sacrificing quality in you. You find yourself letting go of the unessential and frivolous, choosing the moral and the good. It's not the worst thing that could happen. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Yoko's Venus in Your 11th House Yoko may have been attracted to you because of the friends and acquaintances you have. She values shared goals and common ties, in particular if they have some kind of moral or humanitarian purpose. You may work and live together as part of a project or community. You may be just friends and never lovers. She has a sense of your hopes and dreams, and loves you for them. She finds your friends uplifting and worthwhile. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Yoko's Mars in Your 6th House When all is well, the two of you manage to get a lot done, attending to all of the responsibilities that need caring for. Yoko drives you to a greater response than you could provide on your own when it comes to taking care of business. However, if you are the least bit upset or overloaded, you may experience Yoko as too much of a good thing. This may irritate you. Or you may get critical and petty with one another. The whole thing can be hard on your nerves. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Yoko's Jupiter in Your 6th House You love to work together. Yoko has a knack for getting you involved and feeling more responsible. She may introduce you to many new ideas concerning food, health, exercise - "new age" ideas. You may have found yourself caring more about other people and about all of life when you are with her. You have become more self-sufficient through knowing her. She may influence your work situation too, especially in how you get along with subordinates. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Yoko's Saturn in Your 11th House Whatever this relationship may or may not be, it probably is not a social triumph. Yoko may tend to be a damper when it comes to group or community get-togethers. Your friends may not like her, or she may be critical of the goals of a particular group. Any groups she might approve of would have very strict morals and ethics. She may simply not like to get together in groups. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Yoko's Uranus in Your 1st House Never dull, you find Yoko's offbeat ways and independent manner exciting. There is always a sense of the unusual or unexpected when you are together. She may lead you off the beaten path, introducing you to new and unconventional people and places. There is a bohemian flavor to this relationship. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Yoko's Neptune in Your 6th House If this is anything else but a brief philosophic or artistic friendship, you may have to take some preventative measure. Yoko tends to get you carried away to the point of neglecting responsibilities - the hard details of life. Somebody has to empty the garbage, and she may not be the first one to suggest it. She may bring a soothing relief to some of the harsher aspects of life. There is a real temptation to escape from duties. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Yoko's Pluto in Your 4th House You have an immediate gut reaction from Yoko, especially when she challenges your more traditional ideas of security -- home and family. She can be a disruptive force in your day-to-day routine and home life. She knows just how to get at you, and you may become very emotional when the two of you are together. You may find yourself hiding this relationship, reserving it for times when you can be alone with her. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Strengths in Your Relationship with Yoko | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Your Sun Sextile Her Moon Mutual sympathy and understanding. Your personalities complement each other, yet are quite different. You understand how she feels, and you find it is easy to cheer her up and generally facilitate her emotionally. She is very supportive, even protective of you. Other aspects being considered, there is great potential here for a harmonious relationship. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Your Sun Trine Her Venus You will find that she really appreciates you, and you can't help but find this charming. You have a sense of being valued and appreciated for the right reasons. This is a warm and affectionate relationship. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Your Moon Conjunct Her Saturn This is a good working relationship. Yoko tends to bring a real sense of discipline and order into your life. You feel like making a sustained effort when you are with her. You can't help but support her sense for organization and order. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Your Moon Sextile Her Moon There is real mutual support here. You tend to have similar emotions and are very understanding of each other's feelings. If anything there might be too much of a good thing, and you could get bogged down in the relationship. For the most part though, this is a very nice state of affairs. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Your Mercury Trine Her Mercury Talk, talk, talk. You both love to do it. You both understand each other so well that words are hardly necessary. There is a real sense of shared ideas - a common mind. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Your Mercury Sextile Her Neptune You somehow are able to put Yoko's dreams and ideals into words. She finds you very imaginative, even eloquent, and may love poetry and music that you write. There is a basic sense of shared ideals, and you have long dreamy conversations. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Your Venus Conjunct Her Neptune You value her dreams and idealistic nature. There is an almost otherworldy sense that develops when the two of you get intimate -- your own magic bubble. She enchants you. Movies, music, and moods are something you can enjoy together. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Challenges in Your Relationship with Yoko | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Your Sun Sesquiquadrate Her Sun Individual temperaments can clash. This aspect can easily put you at cross purposes, especially if one of you has the Sun in a fixed sign. Although you feel plenty of natural affinity to Yoko, there is also a tendency to bang heads once in a while. She may head off in one direction; you, in another. You will have to work to cultivate a sense of cooperation and understanding. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Your Sun Square Her Pluto She may feel that you pooh-pooh her fears and worries. Her own need for sensitive self-examination and transformation may not appeal to you, with the result that you may sidestep her little confrontations. There could be a bit of a power struggle, complete with explosions. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Your Sun Opposite Her Uranus You never know what to expect with Yoko. Her need for variety and the unusual may conflict with your own more conservative trends. She may tend to be a rebel, with you always playing the authority figure. Sometimes hectic, but seldom boring. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Your Moon Sesquiquadrate Her Mars There are a lot of hurt feelings in this relationship. Argument and power struggles are to be expected. You tend to ignore, or not be sufficiently supportive of, Yoko's feelings. She can't help but get in digs at you on a regular basis. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Your Moon Sesquiquadrate Her Jupiter Yoko may feel that she doesn't have your support when it comes to matters of career and life direction. There may be hard feelings.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Your Mercury Semisquare Her Jupiter A basic lack of communication, particularly regarding Yoko's career decisions. She tends to go against your way of thinking, or you refuse to talk about this subject with her. It may be difficult to communicate. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Your Mercury Square Her Saturn She is critical of your ideas, and you may feel somewhat tongue-tied when you are around her. She may feel that you refuse to consider her problems or that you dismiss them with a few words. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Your Venus Opposite Her Sun You may not like many things about Yoko, and she may feel that you refuse to give her credit or to recognize her values and ideas. She has a way of going on, with or without your approval. There is a kind of stalemate here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Your Venus Opposite Her Mercury You don't like the way she thinks and expresses herself. You just don't appreciate many of the things she says to you. This bugs her, and she may insist on going against your own set of values. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Your Venus Square Her Moon There may be some hurt feelings on Yoko's part because she feels unappreciated by you. You don't always give her the credit that she feels she is due. She may refuse to give you the kind of support and nurturing that you're looking for. You both tend to be at loggerheads over this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Your Venus Sesquiquadrate Her Uranus You may not appreciate her sense of independence, always having to do something different and unusual. You don't like surprises. It may go against your own set of values and thus be a cause for dissension. |
