Astrology, Anyone?

A few years ago, Doug learned a way to find an astrological "Partner Chart" on the Internet. What he found in his and Terry's "Composite Chart" was astounding, though uncannily accurate. When Doug shared the information with Terry, she couldn't believe it. She figured she would find the same information no matter what birth information she entered for two partners. So she entered birth information for herself and a few others (including her son) and not only found completely different information for each pairing, but found the information accurate for each pairing as well.

Though we are not astrological "true believers," we wanted to share some of this information with our community, because it is so inspiring to us, especially the descriptions of the transformational impact that our relationship has on us. (We didn't make this stuff up -- really!) Here are some quotes from our Composite Chart:

You were probably strongly attracted to each other when you first met and as you learn more and more about each other, you remain strongly attracted. The emotions are quiet in their expression, friendly rather than wildly passionate. This kind of affection will sustain a relationship for a long time.

This is a relationship based on love and affection. You are very compatible emotionally and your relationship will have a positive effect on both of you.

You will enjoy each other's company immensely.

The experience of this relationship will have a strong effect on your views of the world and your ways of thinking about it. For the most part, these effects should be positive, involving greater understanding of yourselves as individuals and as partners in a relationship.

Be prepared for the fact that your normal patterns of doing things will be altered by this relationship. New insights about yourselves will be revealed to you, but do not be afraid to deal with them. The results can only be good for both of you.

This relationship will cause you both to analyze yourselves in depth and to analyze the nature of your relationship. But the analysis that you undergo will not be a superficial intellectual exercise. It will go on in your hearts as well as your minds. And the changes that take place in both of you will affect all levels of your being.

Elements of your personalities will pass away, but the transformation will be experienced as good and necessary, following naturally in the course of events. It will be very deep, very powerful, and very useful to both of you. Your hopes for life will probably be altered.

This relationship is quite likely to change your accustomed ways of looking at the world. It will be a quiet, subtle change such that one day the two of you will find that you don't understand what is going on at all. You both will certainly be confused and may be fearful of what you don't understand.

There will be a breakdown of the ways in which you structure your perception of reality. If you can bring yourselves to relax and flow with its energies, this relationship can present you with a whole new way of structuring your world, which will greatly enhance your ability to deal with life. It will also break down your old understandings of yourselves in a relationship, but in the long run it can also bring about a new and truer understanding.

When a situation arises that requires the two of you to sit down and discuss your problems, you can do so easily and with the proper blend of objectivity and involvement.

You have a highly developed sensitivity toward each other and the ability to communicate nonverbally and intuitively. You know what the other feels even if you are apart.

The two of you are extremely complementary in many respects and as a couple you are a whole that is stronger than the two parts.

There is a powerful force for regeneration and growth in this relationship. It gives you staying power.

It may be that others will be somewhat afraid of the level of intensity between you, but don't pay any particular attention to their fears. They will come to see that there is nothing to be afraid of.

What you both want is a complete union of two souls in a cosmic oneness. The difficulty is that you may think you have achieved this state when you haven't. You must be very careful to find out what the truth is.

There is a very positive emotional rapport between the two of you. You understand each other's feelings, and expressing them makes you both feel good. At a very deep emotional level, you are able to feel as one, which makes the bond between you even deeper. Through emotional self-expression and through experiencing each other at such a deep emotional level, you both will grow in understanding and tolerance.

Unconscious actions are less of a problem than in most relationships. You are not destroying your relationship in the manner that so many are destroyed.

This relationship should outlast many others that may seem more energetic and vigorous. You will be able to stay together for a long time, no matter what kind of relationship you have.

The most important point about this relationship is that it will have considerable integrity. You will be true to yourselves, and that will certainly help to win you the admiration of others.
