Human relationships are complex and challenging and beautiful, and a playground for us to learn about ourselves and who we are. Our intimate relationships reflect back to us our own patterns, thought processes and ways of being. In order to achieve harmony within a relationship, we need to learn to understand the way our partner sees and experiences the world.

Within each relationship their are three entities, the two people involved and the relationship they create together. If we really want to understand the inner workings of our intimate relationships, the stars can be a wonderful source of guidance.

When people think of astrological compatibility, they often think of just the sun signs of the two people involved, and that’s a great place to start. But, two people might have ‘incompatible’ sun signs, but if you look at the rest of their chart, it shows the potential for a wonderful relationship.

For example, say we have a Scorpio man involved with an Aquarius woman. By sun sign alone, they are a difficult match. But let’s say that the Scorpio man has his ascendant (representing his first, and natural reaction to people and situations ) in Libra and the Aquarius woman has a strong eighth house (the house traditionally ruled by Scorpio) with emphasis on Venus (ruler of Libra).

This would give them a natural understanding of each other’s natures, and given other factors in the chart, can help them create a strong foundation for a healthy relationship.

Astrological compatibility charts and readings can provide a good basis or psychological analysis of two people and their inclinations, ways of being and how each influences and effects the other. So if you are having challenges communicating, we would look at what rules the communication in your relationship and where the conflict is coming from.

Remembering that you and your partner are shaped by the individual experiences you have had throughout your lives, and understanding your differences as well as what forms the strengths and weaknesses in your relationship will enable you to work towards harmony. Most importantly, astrology can show you how you love, and why you love in the way you to.

What are the reasons for you attracting certain people and what can you learn from them? What is your idea of love and what do you look for in somebody and why do you look for these qualities. Such deeper insights into your own nature are truly transformative and can give you the ability to create the relationship that you want.
