Introduction

This report has been written to introduce you to the concepts of astrology and how to get started in relationship astrology. Astrology is a complex and meaningful science which takes years to study and apply successfully; however, we would like to whet your appetite with this report, and encourage you to deepen your understanding through other means.

Astrology is a study of the connection between planets and life on Earth. It is based on a concept that energy patterns form between other planets and Earth and that these energies affect our lives as individuals and communities.

An astrological chart, also known as a horoscope, natal chart, or birth chart, records the relationship between the planets and the signs of the Zodiac. Charts can be calculated for the birth of a person, a community, an event or anything that seems momentous. The horoscope is as individual and unique as a fingerprint.

When using these interpretations, please bear in mind that, inevitably, every chart will contain some contradictory influences, and as a result certain interpretations of different items in the same chart may seem difficult to reconcile. However, this may still be an accurate reflection your chart, as it is likely that you do experience conflicting desires, events and circumstances in your life. Usually it is the responsibility of an astrologer to synthesise these apparent contradictions in order to present a cohesive and realistic interpretation of the dilemmas of the chart.

Please also be aware of the fact that each person has positive and negative influences in the chart, and therefore in their lives. The challenge is to accept and overcome the negative influences, so that we can successfully focus on the positive traits. This report outlines the influence of both people's charts on each other. This is called relationship synastry meaning the comparison of two horoscopes and the correlations discovered. It is likely that the report will show both the strengths and weaknesses of the relationship synastry. Any advice given is meant to be an aid to a person taking responsibility for their own lives and their own choices within a relationship. The ultimate decision rests with each individual. The author and publisher accept no liability for any adverse affects of this report.

Individual Relating Traits

This section looks at each person's individual relationship concerns in their own personal birth chart. Every individual brings certain needs and expectations into a union, which affect his or her ability to feel loved and supported. This in turn affects the nature and course of the relationship.

Traits of Brad

Venus is in the 11th House

When the planet Venus is placed in the eleventh house of your birth chart friendships are an important component of your life - a great source of satisfaction and pleasure. Your marriage partner may have initially been a friend, who later became a lover. A popular person, you enjoy a wide variety of friends from all walks of life, who seem to take up a considerable amount of your time. Your friendships with women may be more prominent than those with men. At times you feel that you owe your success to your friends or your life partner, and this is probably true. Your relationships are beneficial, contributing to your happiness and helping you achieve your hopes and wishes. This may even involve financial gifts or favours. It's also possible that groups and clubs feature in your life. You enjoy belonging to a group of like-minded people, feeling supported by the relationships that are formed. This could involve you taking a prominent role in a group, or simply working quietly in the background. Either way you're particularly keen on becoming a member of a group with goals that benefit humanity. You may meet your spouse through such a group, or share your group activities with your partner.

Uranus is in the 7th House

The planet Uranus is in the seventh house of your birth chart suggesting that you've a need for unconventional relationships. Depending on other aspects in your birth chart, these relationships have a positive or negative effect on your life. On a positive note you attract an unusual primary partner, someone who is original or involved in an unusual occupation, perhaps even a genius in his or her field. Your marriage gives you just the right amount of freedom to pursue your independent activities. You also benefit from lively and unusual business partnerships, or a business partnership in an unusual project. On the other hand, you may experience misunderstandings and troubles through your marriage and business relationships, which can lead to separation and disputes, possibly even lawsuits. Perhaps your partner is cruel, or possibly you rushed into these partnerships with little thought of the consequences. If you've experienced troubles in your marriage and business partnerships, which have resulted in loss, then you would do well to avoid conventional partnerships in the future. You would also be wise to avoid legal conflicts, because you're unlikely to benefit.

Pluto is in the 7th House

The planet Pluto is in the seventh house of your birth chart indicating that marriage and business partnerships are a challenging force in your life. You need to approach these relationships with caution and integrity, otherwise you're prone to major upheavals. It's possible that your parents' relationship was somewhat traumatic, affecting you more deeply than you had previously believed. This may affect your ability to commit to a marriage. If you're not careful you may attract an abusive marriage partner, or someone who betrays you in marriage or business. On a more positive note, you prefer a challenge in marriage rather than the comfort of a predictable partner. If you and your partner are aware of potential problems, and are able to keep the communication lines open, then you learn a great deal through your most intimate relationships. This experience of deep transformation through relationships can be most rewarding.

Venus is in Capricorn

With Venus in the sign of Capricorn you're shy in relationships, slow to form friendships with other people but, once you've committed to another person, then you're steadfast in your efforts to maintain the relationship. This is particularly true of your primary relationship. Not one to be distracted by romantic illusions, you may appear to be reticent, almost cold, in the first throes of love. This is partly because you're timid, but it's also because you like to weigh up the pros and the cons to any new relationship. You're a great believer in the adage "actions speak louder than words" and you like to observe other people's actions. You form relationships slowly, but they are enduring. Your heart doesn't rule your head, although you like to think that you've a good balance. This is fortunate because you're ambitious in relationships, seeking a partner who is of good character and good standing in the community. For these reasons you may have more difficulty in your relationships earlier in life, seemingly missing out on the flurry of social contacts being experienced by your more flighty friends. It's later in life that your relationships flourish and you're placed in positions of trust and responsibility through your liaisons with other people, particularly people in authority. It's also later in life that you stand to profit through your relationships, either financially or through promotions in your social standing.

Venus is Conjunct The Moon

You enjoy comfortable relationships with other people because of the favourable combination of the Moon and Venus in your birth chart. A charming and prudent person, you enjoy the company of other people, and they respond favourably. You're likely to enjoy success in your primary relationship, choosing someone who feels comfortable and companionable. You're also likely to benefit from your relationships with women.

Traits of Angeline

Venus is in the 1st House

When the planet Venus is placed in the first house of your birth chart you've a natural inclination to express love, with a desire to make life a pleasure for yourself and other people. Whether you realise it or not you're physically attractive. This, combined with your pleasing nature, ensures that loved ones surround you. You've a calm and harmonious demeanor, and your presence seems to bring peace to any environment. You've refined tastes and an appreciation of art, music, singing, dance and theatre. You use these gifts to bring beauty to your surroundings. Through you others discover the power of beauty and love. It's even possible that you inspire the artists and poets of the world in their creative efforts. Your attraction to romance and beauty means that daily life can sometimes seem dull. At these times you need to be wary of becoming involved in love affairs, which may enliven your life for a short time, but in the long term bring hurt and disrepute. This does largely depend on other influences in your chart. It's more likely that both you and your loved ones benefit from the strength of your love.

Venus is in Cancer

With Venus in the sign of Cancer your relationship with your family plays a key role in your life, as you like to feel that you belong to a tribe. Whether the relationships run a smooth or rocky course, you're bonded with your family. Your mother in particular may be a key figure. You also like to form close friendships. Social occasions may revolved around family events, and over the years your friends become part of the family, mingling easily with family members at social occasions. You seek a partner who can also become part of your family and help you keep the home fires burning. You enjoy sharing the comforts of your home with your loved one, including forming a family of your own, as you enjoy children. Domesticity is an important avenue of sharing with your partner. You enjoy cooking for your loved ones, and providing for their needs. You may also enjoy tracing the family tree.

Venus is Square Uranus

The planets Venus and Uranus are combining unfavourably in your chart indicating that you're restless and often lack commitment in your personal relationships. This can lead to disappointments and complications in love and marriage, particularly in your early adult life. It's also possible that your roving eye can lead to scandal. You're willful and often perceive your primary partnership as demanding too much time and effort, an obstacle to your freedom of self-expression. You seek spontaneity and intellectual stimulation from your primary relationship. Unless other influences contradict this aspect of your birth chart, commitment is not a major part of your vocabulary, and can be something that you tend to avoid, preferring to be "footloose and fancy free". This isn't to say that you don't have many offers. Quite the contrary. Your bright and magnetic personality attracts potential life partners like moths to a flame, but you prefer to keep your options open rather than be pinned down. Depending on other aspects in your chart you may be satisfied with a gypsy-like approach to relationships. You may also like intrigue and secrecy in your relationships, perhaps even taking part in a secret organisation. However, if other influences are calling for commitment and permanency in a primary partnership, then you need to choose a partner who is able to give you plenty of freedom. You're more suited to an unconventional relationship. You also need to learn to compromise, restrain some of your wilder urges, and enjoy your partner's unique contribution to your life. It's possible that the restless side of your nature is more prominent in relationships, which have formed through friendship or through fleeting attraction rather than through true love. With the right person, you're able to develop your talents and strengths in a positive and supportive relationship.

Synastry Between Brad and Angeline

Personal Issues

This section looks at the interaction between two people and their two birth charts. It notes the nature of the relationship, whether it is likely to be a successful personal relationship or whether the forces at work are suggesting a less intimate bond. In other words how do these two people come together on a intimate level?

Angeline's Moon is Square Brad's Mercury (Orb 3°15')

Arguments can cause upset feelings in a relationship with this combination of planets. All types of associations can suffer some setbacks under this influence, but personal relationships are particularly fraught with difficulties. Friction seems to result no matter how Angeline and Brad try to approach each other on intimate matters. Angeline and Brad's relationship suffers because of unspoken problems, or perhaps either Angeline or Brad speaks their mind too often. Either way the problem is communication. No matter how hard both Angeline and Brad try they cannot seem to understand each other's way of seeing things and how each other feels. Misunderstandings occur when Angeline expresses her feelings. Brad thinks that Angeline is expressing thoughts and ideas and is ready for a good discussion. Angeline feels misunderstood. As a result Angeline and Brad alternate between passion and rationality, having difficulty understanding the other person. Angeline and Brad's behaviour seems at odds with their needs, and they do not seem to be able to comfortably settle down in the relationship. On a more positive note Angeline and Brad may not mind a little friction in their intimate relationship. However, it's more likely that Angeline and Brad would both do well to work on their communication skills. As a result Angeline and Brad can develop skills which help to overcome the problems enabling them to better understand each other.

Brad's Moon is Opposite Angeline's Venus (Orb 2°30')

When planets combine unfavourably in personal relationships it can produce either sparks, which excite both parties, or friction. Either way a challenge is presented which needs to be met in order to succeed in the long term. With this combination Brad and Angeline have difficulty expressing their feelings and often feel misunderstood by each other. Brad and Angeline have trouble relaxing and feeling at ease with each other. There is a lack of harmony that troubles them. Brad and Angeline sometimes feel that they are battling to find shared activities that they can both enjoy. In extreme cases they may feel that they are fighting against the other person's involvement with an absorbing pastime. Or perhaps they feel that their partner stands in the way of them really enjoying their own pleasurable pursuits. No matter how much Brad and Angeline want to enjoy themselves, their partner seems to be standing in opposition, or determined to do their own thing. Depending on other aspects of their relationship and the nature of the combination of these planets, this can be a real problem. It's also likely that they have difficulty deciding how to save and spend their money. Brad is likely to feel some insecurity in the relationship. Angeline is likely to feel that the Brad's feelings and insecurities are holding her back from relating to other people and the world in the way that she wants. On a more positive note this combination can add a spark to life and keep Brad and Angeline willing to resolve difficulties to a satisfactory conclusion.

Angeline's Moon is Square Brad's Mars (Orb 2°52')

In astrology Mars is the planet of drive and determination whereas the Moon is the planet of feelings. When these two planets form certain patterns the combination can be volatile. In this case there is a lot of friction in the relationship. Angeline is likely to feel overpowered by Brad. Angeline often wonders why she is so easily upset by Brad. No matter how hard she tries to calm her emotions Brad just seems to trigger heated feelings. Angeline feels a strong attraction to Brad, but she is also aware that this is a troubled association. It is likely that Angeline believes that Brad lacks sensitivity to her feelings. Brad also senses the friction, but is perhaps not so bothered by it. Brad is more concerned because at times Angeline seems like a wet blanket. Brad's patience is tested because he feels that he has to console Angeline's feelings before he can achieve his goals in life. Brad also feels a certain excitement in this association, but is aware that the tension can be an obstacle to fulfilment. If both Angeline and Brad are aware of the problems and face them with honesty then an understanding can be reached and a rewarding relationship result. When this occurs both Angeline and Brad begin to feel that their lives have become more effervescent with the advent of this relationship. This combination is most difficult for a deeply personal relationship such as marriage or a close personal friendship. It can be advantageous for a working relationship that requires a lot of hard work and energy. For instance, building a house together may be a good way of using the energy of this combination.

Brad's Sun is Opposite Angeline's Mercury (Orb 3°46')

The importance of communication in relationships cannot be emphasised enough. Without understanding of another person's point of view and the ability to communicate one's own thoughts and feelings a relationship can easily breakdown. This is a difficult combination for communications in a relationship. Brad and Angeline have difficulty understanding each other's point of view. They cannot communicate their thoughts and feelings easily. Consequently Brad and Angeline have trouble being together and a certain tension exists in the relationship. Brad needs to be wary of having too much pride, of trying to override Angeline's views through sheer force of personality. Brad takes a superior attitude to Angeline, which proves detrimental in the long run. Angeline feels misunderstood, knowing that her ideas are so different to Brad's. There is a danger that Angeline starts keeping her thoughts to herself thereby blocking any chance of communications improving. As long as both Brad and Angeline continue to try to overcome these obstacles then their union has a chance for success. They may find it of benefit to take time out and write down their thoughts and feelings during times of stress rather than speaking on the spur of the moment.

Brad's Venus is Opposite Angeline's Venus (Orb 4°24')

A love relationship can both benefit and be adversely affected by this combination of the planets Venus. Ancient astrologers considered the planet Venus to have most beneficial effects and this could be seen clearly in relationship astrology. Both Brad and Angeline are attracted to each other, seeing the very best of themselves reflected in the other person. On the whole they enjoy each other's company, making the most of their joint interests. Brad and Angeline are likely to enjoy various pleasurable outings ranging from alfresco meals to visits to the theatre. However problems arise once the initial attraction wears off and they start to disagree on how their relationship should be approached e.g. the blend of freedom and closeness, intellect and emotion, personal time and social activities to name a few. Then it is more difficult for Brad and Angeline to make the most of their relationship. Their success in overcoming these difficulties depends on other aspects of their relationship. This combination is more common in love relationship, but can also indicate a friendship.

Primary Forces

In addition to the intimate aspect of a relationship, there are usually a number of fundamental driving forces, which can be either major challenges or inspirations to the individuals involved. This section looks at how Brad and Angeline stimulate and provoke each other.

Angeline's Moon is Conjunct Brad's Jupiter (Orb 3°14')

This is a positive combination for any relationship enabling Angeline and Brad to overcome any obstacles in life and embrace the happiness of the present moment. Angeline and Brad enjoy each other's company and feel a certain zest for life when together. They share a need for fun-filled adventures and the capability of achieving their goals. Angeline and Brad feel that the world is their oyster that is ready to explore together. This can include holidays in far-away places, adventure travel and also encompasses any activity that expands their minds and views of life. This is a meeting of higher-minds. Angeline feels that Brad expands her horizons. Angeline feels safe and appreciated in this relationship. Brad knows that Angeline is a comrade in arms when it comes to fun and adventure. Brad feels that he is truly appreciated for his generosity and optimism. Together Angeline and Brad can conquer the world. Nothing seems too far-fetched. This combination augurs well for a long lasting and happy relationship.

Brad's Moon is Square Angeline's Uranus (Orb 3°09')

The saying 'expect the unexpected' could be applied to this combination of Brad's and Angeline's planets. There is an element of excitement and adventure when Brad and Angeline get together, but there is also an element of insecurity. Both Brad and Angeline enjoy the thrill of being in each other's company exploring new territories together, but many relationships start with the thrill and ardour of romance only to have it fade later. This is the problem to be faced by Brad and Angeline. Unless they have other connections between more permanent or personal planets in their charts, Brad and Angeline are in danger of a growing discontent. There is a lack of stability that feeds both Brad's and Angeline's insecurities. Brad becomes needy and Angeline becomes distant and emotionally withdrawn. The problem is that Brad feels that he cannot rely on Angeline. What was once an adventure no longer seems so exciting. As a result Angeline's impulsive nature becomes a source of discomfort for Brad. On the other hand Angeline thinks that her creativity is being stifled by Brad's emotional needs. This belief may cause Angeline to rebel, finding it difficult to commit to Brad. This relationship, if a personal one, is likely to require a lot of freedom and an unorthodox approach in order for it to last. While this is a difficult combination for a personal union, it can be a positive one for less personal relationships such as friendships or a working project which requires creative and innovative ideas.

Brad's Moon is Square Angeline's Chiron (Orb 1°07')

Compassion is needed if this union is to overcome the difficulties presented by this combination of the Moon and the asteroid Chiron. Ultimately this can be a healing relationship, one that presents both Brad and Angeline with opportunities to heal past emotional wounds and head in new directions. However, initially they have to overcome old hurts that stand in the way of honest communication. Unwittingly, Angeline is likely to spark Brad's painful memories. This could be by saying the wrong thing at the wrong time, or by her actions. Brad's memories may have been forgotten; only surfacing in fragments. Brad may have difficulty connecting the current day events with the past associations. Either way the force of Brad's reactions may surprise both Brad and Angeline. The onus is on Brad to find a way to understand his emotional reactions, to heal the past and move on in life with renewed self-confidence and understanding. Angeline also needs to become more aware of the effects of her behaviour on other people. A gentle and loving approach is often needed. Perhaps Angeline is preparing to become a teacher or healer and needs these valuable lessons.

Angeline's Moon is Square Brad's North Node (Orb 1°55')

This is a significant combination in relationship astrology, indicating a strong emotional bond with far-reaching consequences for both Angeline and Brad. When Angeline and Brad meet chances are that their emotional lives are irrevocably changed by the experience of their union. Whether lovers, friend or colleagues Angeline and Brad have to contend with strong feelings. It is possible that their relationship is filled with emotional difficulties, which need to be overcome in order for the bond to be long lasting. There is a saying, "the path to true love is not easy". This is certainly true for Angeline and Brad. On a positive note, this combination of the Moon and the North Node indicates that Angeline and Brad are destined to be together. As a result they are likely to resolve their differences.

Angeline's Sun is Trine Brad's Saturn (Orb 5°44')

Many astrologers believe that a connection between the serious planet Saturn and a personal planet such as the Sun is important, providing the cement for a long-lasting relationship. In other words a serious planet is needed for a serious, meaningful union such as marriage. It is certainly true that the combination of the Sun and Saturn is found in many, meaningful relationships. However, the harmful planet Saturn can also cause problems. The extent of the problems varies according to the astrological aspect. Certainly this combination indicates that Angeline and Brad both view this as a serious association, whether it is a marriage, friendship or a working partnership. Both Angeline and Brad are committed to their association. It is likely that they experienced a strong attraction in the initial stages of their relationship, and it is likely to be long lasting. When Angeline and Brad first meet they each know they have discovered a potential serious relationship, one to which they can commit and build on over a lifetime. If they believe in reincarnation, then it is likely that they feel a karmic attraction, a moment of recognition when they first look into the other person's eyes. However, the very qualities, which they seriously considered as attractive in the initial stages of the relationship, can become the source of friction if they are not careful. In particular, Brad needs to be wary of becoming too critical and judgmental. Initially Brad found Angeline's personality traits to be worthy of a committed union. He admired Angeline's qualities as complementing his own. However, it is easy for Brad to forget this attraction. As the relationship develops he feels threatened by the force of Angeline's personality and takes a superior attitude in defence. As a result Angeline feels threatened, disliking the authoritarian side of Brad. If Angeline is not careful her self-confidence is whittled away and the relationship becomes onerous. It is vital that both Angeline and Brad work at developing a stable basis for communication and understanding in this relationship. If both Angeline and Brad work at maintaining their own self-confidence as well as mutual respect then they have the makings for a very successful marriage or working relationship. If this is the case they both benefit from the stability offered by this union, growing in integrity in their own lives.

Brad's Sun is Sextile Angeline's Uranus (Orb 2°42')

This is a relationship full of verve and romance. Brad and Angeline are attracted to each other from the moment that they first meet and continue to experience excitement and joy in each other's company. The relationship brings something new and original into Brad's and Angeline's lives and they both feel enlivened as a result. Life becomes more of an adventure when Brad and Angeline are together. Their relationship may run a somewhat erratic or unorthodox course, but Brad and Angeline are both happy in the knowledge that theirs is a unique union. Brad is excited by Angeline's creativity, which somehow enhances his personal goals. Angeline helps Brad to see life in a new and different manner, freeing Brad from past inhibitions. Angeline knows that she has encountered someone who truly appreciates her as an individual. Angeline can better express her original thoughts and ideas as a result of her relationship with Brad. Together Brad and Angeline may explore an unusual hobby or pastime such as new technology, metaphysics, science, electronics, humanitarian or environmental concerns.

Brad's Sun is Trine Angeline's Chiron (Orb 0°40')

This is a life-changing relationship that results in both Brad and Angeline being presented with opportunities to heal past wounds in order that they may live fuller and richer lives. Together they enjoy a sense of liberation that comes from truly loving another person. Angeline is more likely to take the role of teacher or healer, having a significant effect on Brad's life choices. In this role Angeline is also challenged to take a long, hard look at herself before imparting her wisdom. The adage "physician heal thyself" could be a theme for Angeline. In return Brad learns much from Angeline's experiences and insights, perhaps even discovering his true-life purpose. This is true for intimate relationships, and also for student-teacher and patient-healer liaisons. Either way this can be a gentle, loving union based on mutual respect and compassion.

Angeline's Sun is Square Brad's Uranus (Orb 3°21')

This is a relationship full of verve and romance, particularly in the first throes of love. Angeline and Brad are attracted to each other from the moment that they first meet and continue to experience excitement and joy in each other's company. Despite this sense of adventure, Angeline and Brad may have trouble maintaining a committed, long-term relationship unless they both enjoy plenty of freedom. This combination of the Sun and the planet Uranus suggest more an erratic and thrilling relationship, rather than a stable one. This works well if both Angeline and Brad value their independence and have stimulating pursuits. However, the initial enthusiasm can fade if Angeline and Brad begin to experience the need to accommodate each other's needs and desires in this union, to the detriment of their own interests. If Angeline and Brad both like to maintain their individuality, the relationship works well. This is particularly true for Brad, who stresses his individuality and can be unwilling to adjust to the demands of a serious relationship unless he is given freedom to do his own thing. However, if Angeline feels the need for more security and routine, then this can present problems. Brad may begin to feel overwhelmed by what he perceives as Angeline's strong personality and may have problems showing a long-term commitment. Likewise Angeline may believe that Brad stands in the way of her expressing her true nature. Either way this association brings something new and original into Angeline and Brad's lives and they both feel enlivened as a result. The long-term success of this union may depend on other connections between Angeline and Brad's astrology charts.

Angeline's Sun is Square Brad's Pluto (Orb 0°48')

This combination of planets indicates a relationship that is life changing, whether it be a friendship, love union or work association. Both Angeline and Brad feel a powerful attraction for each other in the initial stages of the relationship. It is as if they are both compelled to relate, perhaps even in response to strong opposition from outside sources. Once the exciting first stages of the union have passed, it is likely that both Angeline and Brad become embroiled in a struggle for dominance. There is no longer an impetus for change and the challenge has become wearisome. Now Angeline and Brad's relationship resembles a battleground in which both try to change the other. It is possible that these battles become emotionally abusive, perhaps even violent. It is important for both Angeline and Brad to avoid senseless battles from which neither emerges triumphant. Money may be at the root of the problems, or it could be that sexual matters are a key theme in this relationship. Either way it is likely that Angeline feels overwhelmed by this union to the point where she suffers from low self-esteem. There could be a tendency for Brad to try to bully Angeline that may only make matters worse. Angeline is faced with the challenge of delving deep into her personal resources to find a sense of self-value. Brad is a powerful force in this union and needs to learn how to use his power wisely.

Angeline's Sun is Square Brad's Chiron (Orb 2°50')

This combination of the Sun and the asteroid Chiron is a difficult one, presenting both Angeline and Brad with the challenge of reassessing their life goals in order that they may head in new directions. This relationship is a significant one enabling both Angeline and Brad to grow and change, but only after some soul searching. As a result of this union Angeline may discover new talents and a new sense of self and Brad may find a new role as a teacher or healer. However, initially they have to overcome old hurts, which stand in the way of honest communication. The path to greater self-understanding is not always smooth and this relationship is one of the lessons on the journey. Through delving into past hurts, this union can be a healing one and through each other Angeline and Brad can learn valuable lessons. It is important that Angeline and Brad develop compassion and understanding for each other. Otherwise they may unwittingly contribute to further emotional pain.

Angeline's Mercury is Trine Brad's Saturn (Orb 3°09')

This is an excellent combination for an enduring relationship. Both Angeline and Brad share a mutual respect for each other and are willing to work towards sound communication. They take each other seriously, and are likely to share an interest in a thought-provoking pastime or a business enterprise. Shared values also mean that this relationship has firm foundations for the long term. Angeline and Brad realise early in their association that this is a lasting union. Therefore it is likely that they slowly and surely get to know each other, rather than rushing headlong into a relationship. As a result they eventually form a strong bond. Angeline respects and learns from Brad's wisdom. She is better able to communicate her own thoughts and ideas thanks to Brad's well-received advice. Brad's organisational abilities shine in this relationship. He discovers different methods of approaching activities through his association with Angeline.

Brad's Mercury is Square Angeline's Jupiter (Orb 1°04')

This combination of the planets Mercury and Jupiter can indicate a relationship in which both Brad and Angeline are inspired by the meeting of two minds. However, it is important that they show some restraint in their activities. When Brad and Angeline get together they are both eager to discover new worlds. They enjoy broadening their minds through overseas travel or by learning about different cultures in books and study courses. Philosophy, metaphysics and religion are topics of conversation which stimulate and expand their minds. It is also possible that Brad and Angeline pursue activities connected with philanthropic or philosophical ideologies. In moderation this can be beneficial to the relationship. However, there is a tendency towards grandiosity. Both Brad and Angeline encourage each other to greater feats of learning or adventure without realising when it is time to call a halt. This can result in irresponsible behaviour. They also need to be wary of becoming too gullible in their efforts to follow a personal philosophical belief. It is important that both Brad and Angeline learn to temper their activities.

Brad's Mercury is Opposite Angeline's Saturn (Orb 1°02')

A lasting union is indicated by this combination of the planets Mercury and Saturn, but only if the pitfalls are avoided. The problems could include poor communication, judgmental or critical attitudes to each other or a fear of intimacy. On a positive note both Brad and Angeline share a mutual respect for each other and are willing to work towards sound communication. However, they are likely to strike obstacles along the way, which will test their commitment. If Brad and Angeline can overcome these obstacles then they will strengthen their bond. If not, one or both of them is likely to feel imprisoned by the relationship. It's also possible that Brad's self-esteem is adversely affected if Angeline is too critical. A personal relationship is the most difficult to balance with this combination. A working relationship is also a challenge.

Brad's Venus is Square Angeline's Uranus (Orb 5°02')

This combination of planets indicates an instant and vital magnetism. It is the type of attraction in which Brad and Angeline take one look at each other across a crowded room and feel the sparks. Romance is alight and the relationship develops at a rapid rate. Friends are amazed as the couple's union becomes more and more intense. However, it is likely that Brad and Angeline have trouble maintaining the excitement in the long term unless they both allow each other a lot of freedom. As the relationship develops the attraction is in danger of turns to irritation as the passion wears off unless there is a lack of restrictions. This combination is ideal for an unusual relationship, or one where both people value their autonomy, although it may take a while to establish the appropriate mix of freedom and intimacy. At times Brad may feel that his love is being rejected as other interests and pursuits distract Angeline. Perhaps it is difficult for Angeline to maintain her involvement in this relationship without becoming distracted by other creative interests. These may be scientific, astrological, environmental, technological or political. If other aspects of this relationship do indicate a strong bond, it is likely that Brad and Angeline experience friction in areas such as finances, personal hobbies, home comforts and friendships. The challenge for both Brad and Angeline is to find a balance between freedom and intimacy that suits both of them. If this can be achieved then the union becomes a highly stimulating one, which helps both Brad and Angeline actively pursue their own interests and aspirations.

Both Brad and Angeline have a strong commitment to helping each other heal the past and move forward.

This combination of the planets Mars and Saturn suggests a strong commitment in which Brad and Angeline initially struggle to understand each other. On the one hand both Brad and Angeline are committed to making this partnership work. On the other hand they face almost insurmountable difficulties along the way. Ancient astrologers consider the planets Mars and Saturn to have a harmful effect on humanity. Therefore this relationship needs to be treated with respect, to avoid causing emotional or physical damage to either Brad or Angeline. The trouble is that they are both determined to force their own egos on to each other, and can be quite brutal in their efforts to get the other person to do as they wish. They need to develop understanding and respect for each other, if it does not already exist. Sometimes Angeline tries to force her methods on to Brad, only to meet Brad's stubborn refusal to budge on certain matters. The challenge is a big one in this union. Both Brad and Angeline need to carefully consider the future of this relationship, knowing that only mutual respect and caring communication can shine a light on their difficulties.

This is a passionate and explosive relationship fraught with hidden tension. It is difficult for both Brad and Angeline to conquer their own strong feelings about this association. There is a real danger of this relationship becoming an emotional battleground. Brad and Angeline try to communicate in a calm and loving manner, but their union is fraught with deep-seated problems which continually surface in an explosive manner. The result is that they both become embroiled in a fight for supremacy. There is also a danger for this relationship to become emotionally and physically abusive. Angeline feels threatened by Brad's drive and initiative and compensates with controlling behaviour. As a result Brad rebels. There is a clash of wills. A long-term intimate bond is a difficult goal with this combination of the planets Mars and Pluto. However, it is possible to direct the passion that Brad and Angeline feel for each other into a positive pursuit. Perhaps a challenging home-renovation project, or a demanding sports activity or a regular workout at the gym could help alleviate the pent-up emotions.

In some cases this union could threaten either Angeline or Brad's safety. Violence, and violent situations, need to be avoided at all times. Passion may be a driving force in this liaison. Both Angeline and Brad feel a strong attraction. A personal relationship may be fraught with difficulties unless Angeline and Brad find a joint project about which they are passionate, or a goal, which demands much energy. This combination may be beneficial in a partnership that works on an energetic, demanding or physically powerful project - one that involves plenty of hard work and challenges.

Generational Values

Underpinning the success of many relationships is a sense of shared values. Often this comes from simply being born into the same generation. However, sometimes it is more complex. In this section we explore whether or not Brad and Angeline share the same societal values.

Angeline's Saturn is Trine Brad's Neptune (Orb 0°34')

The planet Saturn is a vital ingredient in relationship astrology. It is the planet that represents stability and commitment and is seen by astrologers as the necessary glue that holds a relationship together on a long-term basis. Of course not everyone is seeking long-term commitment, but for those who are Saturn is a welcome sign. The planet Neptune indicates inspiration, imagination and dreams. So Angeline and Brad feel strongly drawn to each other, perhaps experiencing a sense that their relationship was written in the stars. In other words they may feel as though they were destined to meet and form a union. This could be a personal relationship or a friendship that involves a spiritual, artistic or philanthropic project. Whatever the form of their relationship, Angeline and Brad enjoy a meaningful bond. Angeline and Brad both approach the relationship from different angles and need to respect each other's differences in order for the relationship to succeed in the long term. Of course they may both agree that their union was destined to be for a short period only. When this association runs a smooth course Angeline provides the structure and security, which enables Brad to fulfil his dreams. In some cases Angeline may act as Brad's manager. In return Brad challenges Angeline's fears, teaching her to break down certain boundaries and follow her dreams.

Angeline and Brad cannot fully enjoy this relationship because of fears and insecurities. They both have difficulty letting go of past hurts, which adversely affect this current union.

Any joint projects in the arts, spiritual matters or medicine are particularly prone to misunderstandings and difficulties. Angeline often feels confused, wondering why Brad reacts so negatively to her actions. In turn Brad believes that Angeline fails to fully understand and appreciate his talents. Together they need to take time to listen to each other and gently discuss areas of contention.
