Astrological Compatibility - The Astrology Of Relationship, Component II - Items

By Ganesh Kevin


In my article, Astrological Compatibility: The Astrology of Relationship, I laid out a foundation of understanding of how astrology can bring awareness to our relationships. In this article I need to expand on that foundation and show how the person elemental and planetary makeup of our individual astrological chart interacts with that of others. In astrology we call this interaction "synastry", a beautiful word that is utilized to describe the relationship among the energy fields of two people.

If we consider "synastry" as being a dynamic process, a constant flow of energy in between 2 people, it's a lot simpler to realize how the elemental and planetary energies affect our relationships. Like electricity, our relationships flow smoothly after resistance is low. Once there is resistance or obstruction from the flow of energy between us then we experience breakdowns or "burn-outs". Astrology provides us with an unique "schematic" or map of how our energy might flow as soon as we're in relationship with another. It also provides us with awareness of where we may well "burn" every other out.

In "Astrological Compatibility: The Astrology of Relationship," I showed how the various signs interact or aspect every other. Essentially I was speaking from the way Sun signs interact so this might mean that another person from the Sun inside sign Leo would discover it far more tough concerning Scorpio, Taurus and Aquarius (the Sun signs that are in complicated aspect to their own). In order to get a broader picture of how 1 would relate of any of these other signs, however, we would need to compare not merely Sun signs but also the signs on the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.

For the sake of simplicity, let's just take into account the so-called "personal" planets, the Sun via Jupiter. These six planets (actually the Sun is often a star) are referred to as individual mainly because they are faster moving within the sky and affect us far more on an individual level, whereas Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto move slower and have a tendency to acquire additional of the collective influence on our lives. Also, in comparing astrological charts of individuals who are close in age, it is additional possibly how the outer planets are going to be within the same sign, thus minimizing the differences between charts.

Since any with the planets can also be in any one with the four points (fire, air, water, or earth), a single begins to see how quite a few various combinations of elemental and planetary expression are possible. For example, out of the ten planets in my chart I have four inside fire element, three in earth, 2 in water, and one in air. This can be my "elemental make-up" and tells a lot about how I express my own energy and how I'll relate to others.

As it is possible to see, 70% of my planets are in fire and earth. I have a tendency to become most content as soon as I am generating things, now! In relationship my very best challenge has been to hold my patience with people who I perceive are moving slower than me! I am usually at house and pretty comfortable within the emotional realm as I have a couple of planets and my rising sign or ascendant (the constellation rising on a horizon at birth) in Cancer, a water sign. Of course the hardest element for me to operate in is air, as I only have a single globe there.

For instance, if I have to read a manual for some type of mechanical contraption I'll most likely never get close to to it. I am significantly happier if I can just rip open the box and begin tweaking buttons and twisting dials! 1 drawback of not with a whole lot of air in my chart is that I rely a lot more on intuition and emotion to create judgments and decisions and consequently have much less objectivity than people who "specialize" inside air element.

Understanding your own elemental makeup is extremely essential if you desire to get one of the most out of the relationships. By acquiring to know your own strengths and challenges you'll start to draw partners to you in a additional conscious manner. You would not think how well-liked it's to find couples or partnerships where a single person is all fire and air (intuition and intellect) as well as the other is water and earth (emotional and physical). The couple or partnership are literally drawn together like magnets so that they are able to benefit from every other's "elemental specialization". This is a good learning experience if it is done consciously but a very co-dependent relationship if not.

In an astrological chart the things represent uncomplicated kinds of energy inside us while the person planets symbolize our simple expression of that energy or life force in all areas of life - physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. Every entire world represents specific fundamental needs or urges that we all express to a single degree or another. The way we express these fundamental energies characterizes what we typically call personality.

In other words, every of us includes a wish to express our individuality and sense of self (Sun), to become nurtured and to nurture (Moon), to communicate fully with others (Mercury), to express adore in relationship (Venus), to assert ourselves (Mars), and to expand our sense of who we are (Jupiter). Naturally we all differ in our capacity to fully express our requirements in these areas and that is exactly why astrology can teach us so significantly about how our basic requirements can be met or thwarted in a relationship.
