report

Chapter 1 compares your temperaments and personalities. The issues described in Chapter 1 become particularly powerful if you are married or live together. Idiosyncrasies or quirks in another person's personality do not bother us as much if our relationship is a casual one. For example, if one person is neat and tidy and the other is sloppy, this is more likely to become a concern if you are married than if you are only seeing each other occasionally.

Pay close attention to the issues described in Chapter 2 because these are the most important themes in your relationship. For example, if themes of romance and sexual attraction are emphasized, then you can count on this relationship being a passionate one. However, if romance and sexuality are hardly mentioned at all, then this relationship will not be a passionate one. Note also that the material in Chapter 2 is presented roughly in order of importance, so that the material presented at the beginning of Chapter 2 is the most powerful.

Chapter 4 describes issues in your relationship of less importance than those presented in Chapter 2. Chapter 3 describes situations and circumstances that arise if you have a close, long-lasting relationship.

If a statement appears to contradict another statement, then your roles are likely to alternate. For example, a statement that Mark. is more aggressive than Hillary, and another statement that Hillary is more aggressive than Mark., means that you alternate roles, with Mark. sometimes being the leader and Hillary being the follower, and sometimes just the opposite. Also, read the statements carefully, as it is likely that a careful reading will reveal different kinds of aggressiveness or areas in which the aggressiveness is likely to express itself.

To make the most of this report, combine this astrological analysis with other things that you know about each other. For example, we have assumed that you are opposite-sexed (assuming that both of you are heterosexual, otherwise same-sexed). Physical attractiveness, age, religion, education, family and cultural background will affect your relationship as well. The material in Chapters 2, 3, and 4 of this report describes the magnetism between you, but does not describe your individual natures. For example, suppose that Chapter 2 makes little mention of romance and sexuality, but the Natal Reports for each of you indicate that each of you has extremely strong romantic and sexual desires. In this case, marriage is not likely to be successful! However, if romance and sexuality are not important to either of you, then the lack of passion in your relationship is not likely to be as much of a stumbling block.

<<<C:\astrobmp\cancapsn.BMP,52,3,2>>> In many ways the two of you are opposites. Mark. needs a lot of domestic and family activities. Nurturing others and personal involvement with others is a necessary part of life for Mark.. Family and close friends are extremely important for Mark., while Hillary often becomes emotionally detached from personal affairs and may fail to fully appreciate Mark.'s more personal, emotional responses to situations. Hillary may seem dry and emotionally inexpressive to Mark..

Your differences can serve to complement each other only if you really understand and appreciate each other. Both of you do seek security, consistency, and fidelity in relationships, so there is a reasonably good chance that over time you will develop a greater appreciation for each other's opposite qualities.

You are both very intuitive and psychically receptive, and you sense what is going on inside others even when they try to hide it. You have a very sympathetic rapport with one another, and you may get so enmeshed with each other that it is hard for you to tell whether you are feeling your own emotions and responses, or those of your partner.

Both of you are very, very sensitive, but the difference between you is this: Hillary will hold onto hurt feelings and may harbor unexpressed resentments, jealousies, secret fears, and guilt for a long, long time. Mark., on the other hand, is much more forgiving, tolerant, and ready to make excuses for the offender. Hillary is more of a fighter and wants to retaliate when injured; Mark. is basically a peace-loving pacifist who would rather not create more conflict.

Though you both feel very deeply, you may not be very articulate about your feelings and inner experiences. You share an affinity for music. Living near water would be beneficial for both of you.

Hillary tends to be intense, driven, sometimes overly zealous or willful, and this is something few other people understand or appreciate. Hillary tends to be an extremist, wants to go all the way, and may be regarded as a fanatic by more moderate types. Mark., on the other hand, understands and even enjoys Hillary's intensity, while not sharing the same degree of fervor or obsession. Mark. isn't threatened by - or dominated by - Hillary's strong will and desires. In fact, Mark. may be one of the few who can stand up to Hillary without becoming embroiled in a furious power struggle. There is a lot of passion in this relationship. If you both direct your wills toward the same aims, you would be a formidable team, with Mark. helping Hillary maintain some sense of balance and proportion.

The bond between the two of you is very strong. If you are not married or living together, you may find that you keep bumping into each other wherever you go. You are drawn to each other like magnets.

Hillary embodies many of the characteristics that Mark. is seeking in a mate or partner, and Mark. finds Hillary irresistibly appealing for this reason. Hillary is also the polar opposite of Mark. in many ways, so that you complement or balance one another very well. However, the very qualities that originally were so attractive may become sources of friction between you. Mark., don't expect Hillary to be like you are! One of the gifts Hillary has for you is to show you "the other side of the coin". For instance, if you are very logical and rational, you partner may have a highly intuitive or poetic mind (or vice versa). Instead of accusing your partner of being irrational or fuzzy-minded, try to appreciate that difference between you.

Opposites attract! Although the two of you have many basic differences in your personalities (see the beginning of Chapter 1 for a discussion of these differences), you are, nevertheless, attracted to each other and intrigued by each other. This is not a lukewarm relationship! It can easily be inclined to become a love-hate relationship: you love and respect each other when you are able to complement each other, and you hate each other when you fail to understand and appreciate your differences. It is up to the two of you to develop mutual appreciation for your differences rather than antagonize each other.

You enjoy discussing the arts, literature, and people. Your conversations are stimulating, although it is not unusual that you reach opposite conclusions. You may find that one of you (typically Mark.) emphasizes the emotional side of a situation, issue, or problem and the other (typically Hillary) is more concerned with the strictly technical or intellectual side.

Issues of broad scope such as religion, philosophy, and politics play a major part in your relationship. You work well together in areas that require long-distance communication, mass media, or philosophical issues. Hillary challenges Mark. to take a broader, more inclusive view of any situation.

Playfulness and a zest for newness infuse your relationship. You really spark each other's imagination and creativity. This quality is especially welcome in a long-term relationship because you will not fall into a lifeless routine. You spur each other to explore, take risks, and develop new creative outlets. You encourage each other's independence. There is an electric, spontaneous quality between you , and your sexual relationship is lively and exciting as well.

Hillary's originality and creativity is sparked by Mark.'s enthusiasm, eccentricity or "crazy" side. You are both more impulsive when you are together, and more willing to take risks and appear foolish. At the least, this can be lots of fun; at best, it can be very freeing and liberating.

You stimulate and arouse one another's feelings and desires, the physical attraction between you is very strong, and you are quite harmonious and compatible sexually. You are also highly fertile together (assuming there are no organic or physical impediments).

Mark. is very supportive of Hillary, encouraging Hillary to be direct, honest, and expressive of personal wishes and needs. Mark. is also very "turned on" by Hillary! This can be a very creative union.

There is a mature, stable, responsible tone to your relationship that makes you feel secure with each other. There is a great deal of trust and respect for each other. As you spend more time together, you will find that your tastes, priorities, and sense of what is really important in life becomes very compatible. If you marry and have children, you will work together well as parents, especially when difficulties and "minor crises" arise.

Although sexual magnetism between you is very intense, you both may be somewhat uncomfortable by the overwhelming feelings or obsessive quality that you engender in one another. Even if you are repulsed or disinclined to become close to one another, there seems to be an irresistible attraction bringing you together. Power struggles, emotional or sexual manipulation, and disruptive jealousy may be problems you encounter in this relationship. Whatever develops, this relationship will touch your depths and change you profoundly.

This is a lively, enthusiastic, exciting relationship. You feel very uninhibited with each other and are able to express yourselves freely with each other. If you both enjoy dancing, music, or similar sports, then you have found an excellent partner for these activities! Sexual compatibility is also high and you are likely to feel that your partner is a wonderful lover.

As a couple, you will attract good fortune and plenty, but it will be very easy for the two of you to let it slip through your fingers. Unless at least one of you has a conservative, disciplined nature, you will spend so freely and enjoy yourselves so much that you won't consider putting something aside for a rainy day.

Even if the two of you don't have a huge income, it will seem to others as if you do. You will never lack for anything, take plenty of vacations, party, and generally have a good time. You bring one another luck!

A need for solitude and withdrawal, for removing yourselves from the clamor of day to day duties and responsibilities, will be an important aspect of your relationship. You may wish to take very quiet times by yourselves, or even separately from time to time. If you resist this need, eventually one or both of you will simply feel lonely even in one another's company.

This need for withdrawal can be misinterpreted as indifference or apathy on the part of your partner, but if you both recognize this need and give it a place within your relationship it needn't be a deficit. Others may think this strange or an indication that something is amiss between you -but don't let that bother you! In fact it can keep your relationship honest and fresh.

Mutual devotion, tenderness, affection, and caring are the essence of your relationship, and creating a home together, making a family, and/or nurturing one another are an important part of the reason you two have come together. The love you share will sustain you and buffer any blows, difficulties, or problems that you will face.

There is a protective, almost maternal feeling generated between the two of you. A relationship based on compassion as much or more than passion is apparent. A high degree of fertility is also clearly indicated.

Part of the purpose of your relationship is to simply enjoy your lives together and to have fun. Together you will expand your social circle, and broaden your contacts with the world in many ways. As a couple, you may do more traveling for pleasure than you would ever do as individuals.

Play, humor, laughter, and exuberant good spirits permeate your relationship. You take more risks, spend more money on fun and adventure, and generally have a good time together. It is easy, comfortable, and relaxing to be with one another; you cheer one another up. Being together makes you both feel good, and this will have positive effects on your health and overall success in life, the more you are together.

Challenging each other's usual modes of thinking, experimenting with new ideas or techniques, investigating "alternative" and unconventional methods, and continually discovering new, "mind-blowing" ways of seeing the world are essential aspects of your relationship.

You stimulate one another intellectually, so much so that both of you may want to talk simultaneously, breaking into one another's train of thought with sudden insights and understandings. When the two of you brainstorm together, you come up with amazing and original ideas! This is certainly one of your purposes as a couple. At times you will find one another's makes you feel tense and "wired", in which case you'll both need to take a bit of a break.

Periodically throughout your relationship, devastating and total losses, seemingly unjust circumstances which you both must endure, and other difficulties will test you. You may have to give up a lot or eliminate a lot in order to be together. However, this may forge an unbreakable bond between you, especially if you don't blame your partner for whatever befalls you.

Although you have opposite personalities in some ways, you complement each other well and both of you enjoy having a partner that takes care of many of the things that you prefer to avoid.

Hillary likes to perform chores and tasks for Mark., and you may sometimes feel like your relationship is more like an employer-employee relationship than a romantic one! This quality tends to be a positive one, though, for you are able to assist each other in very practical ways.

It is highly probably that you will become involved in domestic affairs together, even if your relationship is not a close one. You enjoy living together and sharing in cooking, home maintenance, and you feel like "family" with each other.

Your conversations are lively. It seems that both of you can't resist a debate with each other. Although you frequently disagree with each, fortunately you enjoy the lively exchange of ideas nevertheless.

You are very dependable friends, always there for each other in times of need. Regardless of how the romantic side of your relationship fares, you will always appreciate the ways in which you are able to work together and help each other.

Mark. enjoys performing chores for Hillary, and also takes an interest in Hillary's work and health. Mark. enjoys assisting Hillary in practical ways and the two of you are able to buckle down together and accomplish a great deal.

The two of you make a great match for games, especially outdoor sports. Hillary also encourages Mark. to develop creative talents, and you may become involved together in creative projects.

The two of you enjoy playing games together, engaging in creative activities, hobbies, and you generally have lots of fun together. Also, Mark. encourages Hillary's creative talents and interests and enjoys promoting and assisting Hillary's creativity, whether it be as simple as baking a cake or a major undertaking.

Mark. feels buoyant and outgoing in Hillary's presence, enjoys talking and doing almost anything with Hillary. Cooperation and optimism are high in this relationship and you can count on having a very upbeat and outgoing relationship most of the time.

Handling of finances is a major issue in your relationship, especially if your relationship is a permanent one. Deciding how to increase income, how to wisely spend money, and how to develop financial security becomes a big issue, and major problems can arise if either of you ignores or overlooks your partner's point of view in these matters. You will learn a lot about handling money and resources and how to develop material security in this relationship, and hopefully any difficult lessons will not cause serious regrets. Mark., in particular, should be wary of the tendency to be overly critical of the way that Hillary handles finances and should try not to interfere too much with Hillary's decisions in this regard. Hillary should try not to be overly sensitive to Mark.'s suggestions and should try to extract the useful, valuable suggestions and ignore the rest.

If your relationship is a deep, long-term one, you will find that you are unable to keep any secrets from each other. Hillary has a knack for prying into Mark.'s subconscious or hidden fears and concerns. Issues such as death, afterlife, guilt, and religious faith are brought to your attention, even if these topics normally do not interest either of you. If either of you has any significant "emotional hang-ups" (phobias, fears, guilt, etc.), these problems will be brought to the surface in this relationship, and you will not be able to escape facing them. Hillary, in particular, won't let Mark. avoid these issues and brings them to the surface. The opportunity for inner growth and development presents itself but you may also become further enmeshed in these emotionally based problems.

Your courtship undoubtedly took many unusual twists and turns. The attraction between you is powerful, and sometimes the "urge to merge" is almost irresistible. Sexual activity and love-making probably began very early in the relationship. Also, the way you jointly handle finances and investments is likely to take some unusual turns and the two of you may, for example, invest in some risky ventures. Also, if you marry and later divorce, both of you are likely to be surprised by the manner in which you agree to divide your joint resources.

Hillary challenges many of Mark.'s deeply ingrained attitudes and many of the habits and personal tastes that are developed from early childhood. Hillary often encourages Mark. to break free from the past, although this encouragement is often subtle and not overt. Hillary needs to be careful not to overlook the value of Mark.'s heritage, and you both need to be able to preserve what is good in the past without remaining attached to habitual tendencies that are not fulfilling or healthy.

You are likely to become involved in social groups, political or altruistic organizations, committees, and religious groups together. A big challenge will be how to maintain a high level of integrity and honesty in these activities so that the ideals can be reached.

Hillary enjoys acting childish and silly with Mark.. You enjoy playing games with each other, and there is also a strong element of fantasy and imagination in your romantic and sexual life.

Mark. challenges Hillary's philosophical and religious views. You are likely to find yourselves in enthusiastic, and sometimes heated, conversations about politics and social issues. These conversations are penetrating and deep, and both of you are likely to find them illuminating, although often uncomfortable as well.

Hillary sometimes expresses ideas and opinions in a very forceful manner to Mark., who inspires Hillary to take a strong stand on issues, but Mark. may feel that Hillary is too narrow-minded at times. The two of you can work well together in areas that require concentration or bold presentations such as research, marketing, etc.

Mark. helps Hillary achieve personal goals, activate Hillary's latent talents and strengths, and encourages and promotes Hillary's creative work and endeavors. You can be a very successful duo. However, Mark. can be more driving and ambitious for Hillary than Hillary is, like the "stage mother" who pushes her child to shine and to excel even when it is not the child's own aspiration. Mark. can have a profound influence on Hillary, most likely for the good, but possibly not. Subtle manipulation and domination on Mark.'s part should be avoided.

Mark. is "the power behind the throne" when it comes to Hillary's ambitions and aspirations, or Mark. may set the agenda with Hillary carrying out Mark.'s will and desires. Hillary's confidence, personal effectiveness, and social influence is greatly enhanced by Mark.'s presence and encouragement.

This is a relationship that is sparked by an irresistible sexual attraction and romantic desire. Your passion and desire for one another will always remain alive. If either of you is prone to possessiveness or jealousy, then you may find yourself feeling very uncomfortable by even subtle indications that you are competing with other suitors.

You can act very silly and childish together. When the two of you get together, you love to let your imaginations run wild. You have difficulty accomplishing anything of a serious or mundane nature together, and you prefer to explore artistic, religious, and metaphysical areas, rather than focus on more mundane affairs. If there is a physical or romantic attraction to each other, you are likely to feel mesmerized by each other, and fall into a very dreamy romance. Your sexual life also has a strong element of fantasy.

You encourage one another to grow and to be all that you can be, and through your mutual belief in one another's abilities and aspirations, you help each other live more fully and freely. Because you see the best in one another, you naturally draw it out. You tend to agree on ethical, religious, philosophical, or spiritual matters, to have a similar approach to such issues, and to overlook or minimize your differences.

Serious confusion and misunderstandings arise in your relationship, which both of you contribute to in different ways. There are conflicts over material versus spiritual values, practicality, common sense, and realism versus idealism or imagination, with Mark. being the down-to-earth, responsible hard-headed one and Hillary being the sensitive, idealistic, dreamy partner. Hillary seems frustratingly evasive, vague, or irresponsible to Mark., and Mark.'s criticism can cause Hillary heavy self-doubt or a desire to protect and hide Hillary's sensitivities. There can be much mutual deception. At best, Mark. confronts Hillary with Hillary's tendency to avoid or escape reality and Hillary can open Mark.'s mind to wider realities, emotional or intuitive truth (as opposed to "hard facts") and a more fluid approach to life.

Bursts of inspiration, creative imagination and insight, or strange psychic experiences makes your relationship lively and unusual. You may do some rather bizarre or unusual experimenting together. Avoidance of responsibility or reality can be a problem at times.
