In order for this healing dynamic to occur, both partners need to be willing to put the effort to the relationship and to their own healing. This gets easier with more harmonious aspects like Sun trine Chiron and Sun sextile Chiron. Sextile between Sun and Chiron in a relationship is an opportunity for broadening each other horizons and leave the old burdens behind. However, not everyone feels ready to deal with their suffering. Healing does not come easy. Pain tends to get worse before it gets better. This is often the case with disharmonious aspects such as opposition and square. Sun square Chiron usually creates even more emotional pain and makes it harder to see the benefits of this struggle. With Sun opposite Chiron, partners may not be on the same maturity level or show the same amount of sympathy towards each other. The purpose of this aspect is to learn to cooperate despite the differences and hardships. Return to Astrology

    SUN-MERCURY Aspects in Synastry (conjunction, sextile, trine, opposition, square) Sun conjunct Mercury in synastry represents similar communication styles, intellectual interests and goals. Sun and Mercury uplift each other through mental exploration, which creates a great opportunity to build more trust and intimacy in a relationship.

Moon is the heart, Mercury is the mind of this relationship. Mercury brings a more rational understanding to Moon person’s emotions, whereas Moon teaches Mercury to act from the heart.

This blockage can be resolved by listening to each other more intently and patiently. Moon opposite Mercury can go either way: Both partners may enjoy long stimulating conversations or find each other to be completely incompatible.

Both people share the same kind of interests and intellectual processes. Square aspects tend to create blockages and conflicts, and in the case of Venus square Mercury, this is felt in the way they like to receive and give love. When things go wrong, Mercury tends to withdraw from the connection thinking that Venus person is too moody or demanding. On the other hand, Venus may be overdoing things to gain the affection of Mercury. A level of moderation and open communication is necessary to resolve this. Venus opposite Mercury draws them together but also may drift them apart if they cannot work on their differences. Problems may arise if Venus person views on love are more idealistic whereas Mercury’s is intellectual and rational.

Mars trine/sextile Mercury aspects in synastry represent a harmony in the way they express their energy. Mercury’s straightforward and rational way of thinking helps fiery Mars energy to focus and develop. With good communication they can cultivate their relationship and help each other overcome obstacles.

Intellectual competitiveness, hostility and rejection are common issues here. Mars opposite Mercury is both challenging and stimulating. Intentionally or not, Mars energy usually ends up rubbing Mercury the wrong way. If they are not both willingly bring their guards down. Ego conflicts may develop and Mercury may withdraw until there is more effort from Mars to find a common ground. They are both sexually drawn to one another, but there may be some incompatibilities in sexual preferences.

  • The FOOL and WHEEL of FORTUNE Tarot Combination in Love, Work and Finances

    As the first card of Major Arcana numbered 0, the Fool is the main character of Tarot. Everything about the Fool card seems ‘’foolish’’ at first. He starts a journey from zero- no life experience, nothing to protect him from the outside world, with just a dog, simple clothes and a small satchel. He is getting dangerously close to the edge of a cliff, yet he keeps walking without a care in the world. What this naïve young boy represents is what we all face in significant moments of our lives: A desire to follow our hearts to the unknown. It is this core desire that starts your journey when you draw the Fool and Wheel of Fortune combination. We see the Fool taking a leap of faith towards the spiral of life that is Wheel of Fortune. Traditionally, the Wheel of Fortune in Tarot represents good luck, but it is much deeper than that. It is the karmic cycle of life, weaved with ups and downs and circumstances beyond human control. Both of these cards have a lot to do with fate, but none of them can exactly tell you what will be the outcome of this journey. When you draw Fool and Wheel of Fortune together, expect the unexpected. With the Fool, even though you are not fully equipped for what’s to come, you are being invited to trust the universe and take a chance. With the Wheel of Fortune next to it, you are reminded that no matter what the future holds, you are where you need to be. The Fool and Wheel of Fortune Tarot Combination in Love Have you met someone significant? Starting a new relationship? Are you making a big decision in your love life? Will it last? Regardless of what’s happening right now, most importantly, does this whole thing feels ‘’meant to be’’? The Fool and Wheel of Fortune together in a love reading can have many interpretations, but one thing is for certain for all: This is a significant, most likely a fated beginning in your life. At times it may feel scary, yet your heart is being pulled into it. If you are wondering about someone’s feelings for you, the Fool and Wheel of Fortune combination shows a pure hearted intention to start something new with you. Even though the outcome of your question is not clear with these cards, with the Fool you are advised to listen to your heart as your guidance. As the following card, Wheel of Fortune hints us that good luck and changes are ahead regarding this change. The Fool and Wheel of Fortune Tarot Combination in Work and Finances The Fool and Wheel of Fortune combination here represents a fresh new start: whether you are starting your own business, your education, getting a new job or perhaps moving to a different place. In any case, what awaits for you in the horizon is both foreign and exciting for you. The Fool may also be warning you about the dangers ahead. This is a situation where you will need to take a leap of faith towards an unknown, or something you probably have little to no experience. Fool’s approach is not entirely beneficial when it comes to work and finances, therefore if you are making a big change or a decision, follow your heart but have a plan in mind. But not to worry, because the Wheel of Fortune in your reading is all about endless opportunities and good fortune. It also says ‘’ what goes around comes around’’. So especially if you had been working towards a goal, you will reap the rewards soon. Return to Tarot Cards Combinations

  • Uranus Aspects in Synastry: To Sun, Moon, Mars and Venus

    SUN-URANUS Aspects in Synastry (conjunction, sextile, trine, opposition, square) Sun conjunct Uranus brings a theme of peculiarity, unpredictability and excitement in the relationship. Usually they immediately hit it off. Sun person loves Uranus’s very quirky and fun attitude, and Uranus feels energized in Sun’s presence. However, due to the instability element Uranian energy brings into the relationship, there may be a lot of differences, obstacles and sudden separations between them. Sun trine/sextile Uranus aspects mostly indicate an easy going friendship which has a lot of potential for partners to learn about themselves. Just like in the conjunction, it is non conventional, unpredictable but with less ups and downs. If they can manage to appreciate their differences, both partners can learn to be more adaptable and independent with these aspects. Sun square Uranus aspect in synastry indicates a very challenging dynamic. Initial attraction between them can only be described as electric. Overtime, Uranus person feels that their freedom is being challenged by Sun’s demands for more closeness and stability. There may be a lot of hot and cold, on and off, which strains Sun person's patience quickly. Sun opposite Uranus indicates contradicting feelings and disappointment especially for the Sun. Intimacy is usually weak between them. At its core, their wants and needs from a relationship are very different. One person is usually more conventional than the other, or perhaps there may be insurmountable obstacles in tradition, distance, etc. Combined with Uranus’s tendencies to become aloof and insensitive at times, all of this is often too burdening for Sun person to continue. MOON-URANUS Aspects in Synastry (conjunction, sextile, trine, opposition, square) Moon conjunct Uranus usually starts off with a magnetic attraction that makes you trip over your own feet. Moon person is fascinated by Uranus’s mysterious and quirky aura. Suddenly they find themselves having long hours of conversations on unusual topics or blurting out feelings to each other. However, as Moon person eventually expects more emotional stability, more Uranus seems to detach, or close off. This creates insecure and anxious feelings in Moon which makes it hard to maintain a long term relationship. Same attraction in conjunction described above also goes with Moon trine/sextile Uranus aspects, but emotional clashes are less intense, combined with more freedom and flexibility. Uranus helps Moon person to embrace their uniqueness and brings an emotional liberation, whereas Moon helps Uranus to feel safer and understood in their emotional space. Moon square Uranus indicates a conflict between Uranus person’s need for space and Moon’s desire to feel attached. After the initial spark fades, Uranus may feel shackled to the emotional demands of the Moon and withdraw. In return Moon person may feel like they are walking on eggshells around Uranus. The result is a connection that is constantly changing with the tides. Moon opposite Uranus is a challenging synastry aspect. These partners tend to trigger each other’s subconscious insecurities. There are also opposing ideas on the level of intimacy they require in a relationship as well as differences in emotional expression. One minute Uranus feels too far from Moon person to reach and the next minute they are closer than ever. Eventually this inconsistency wears Moon down. MARS-URANUS Aspects in Synastry (conjunction, sextile, trine, opposition, square) Mars conjunct Uranus attraction usually starts out of the blue. When passionate Martian burst of energy combined with Uranus’s free spirit, one thing comes to mind- Expect the unexpected. More inaccessible or reserved Uranus present themselves, more Mars person tends to take it as a challenge to conquer them. At its best, this relationship is never boring, at worst it is too turbulent to continue. Mars trine/sextile Uranus aspects help to keep a relationship fresh, fun and flirty. They bring a sense of progress, originality and liberation to the relationship. Together, they may have some sort of ‘’unconventional’’ relationship, such as living apart no matter how long they had been together, or experimenting with their sexuality, etc. Although there is a lot of chemistry, what Mars square Uranus aspect lacks is consistency. It indicates an erratic, unpredictable and confrontational dynamic that is tough to handle. In order to resolve this square aspect, it is very important to pace the relationship and not overreact when things get heated. Mars opposite Uranus is another challenging synastry aspect. Ego clashes, power struggles and dishonesty are common problems here. When there is an opposing idea, both Mars and Uranus tend to retain their identity instead of finding a middle ground together. Overtime, Uranus may think that Mars is acting too immature or fighty, while the Mars person may find Uranus simply unattainable. VENUS-URANUS Aspects in Synastry (conjunction, sextile, trine, opposition, square) Venus conjunct Uranus in synastry often indicates a ‘’love at first sight’’ level of attraction. Venus person is romantically drawn to Uranus’s higher mind, while Uranus enjoys Venus’s charming affection. However, as with every Uranus aspect in synastry, there is always a theme of constant change in the relationship which may wear Venus down eventually. Venus trine/sextile Uranus aspects represent a supportive dynamic between Uranus’s unconventional behaviors and Venus’s warm expression. They may share unusual interests and creative ideas. Both partners can learn a lot about themselves in this connection, while expanding each other’s horizons. Venus square Uranus in synastry feels like being on an emotional rollercoaster. One partner may demand more intimacy in the relationship (usually the Venus), while the other is not ready to make the effort. Besides this constant push-pull dynamic, there also may be sudden changes or traditional differences that can strain the relationship. Same issues indicated above by the square between Venus and Uranus also applies to Venus opposite Uranus aspect. Despite the magnetic attraction, they may be incompatible in the way they like to give and receive love. This opposition is especially tiring and burdensome for Venus person. Return to Astrology

  • IC in Aries/ MC in Libra Axis Explained

    What does MC/IC axis represent in astrology? Even though importance of MC/IC is not immediately recognized as much as Ascendant-Descendant axis, it is just as important in understanding your psychological evolution. MC and IC are intricately interlinked- therefore we cannot talk about one without the other. This axis is a personal roadmap from the past to the future, from the dark to light, your inner child to highest self. By exploring your MC/IC axis in this article, you will harmonize your core talents and inclinations (IC), and channel it into the success you want to manifest (MC). IC is where you have been: IC point- short for Imum Coeli, is also known as ‘’deepest of sky’’ in Latin and holds the key to the most private parts of your inner world: your roots, core foundations, influence of family legacy on your identity. The lessons IC holds are hidden in your past until you turn inward and face the depths of your subconscious. MC is where you are going: Exact opposite point, MC (Midheaven) deals with how you manifest yourself in the outer world: What you will strive towards, which qualities will be cultivated and how you will make your mark within the society. In contrast to the IC, Midheaven is a conscious process- aimed to the future in order to guide you into your highest aspirations. Aries IC/Libra MC Axis What does IC in Aries mean? Having Aries as your IC sign is empowering in many ways: You are a passionate, strong willed and independent spirit. Most of the time your inner world is on a fast pace: you look fast, think fast and act fast. Your emotions run high and you don’t shy away from expressing them, even if it leads to confrontation. On the other hand, having this Martian burst of energy in your core can get you overloaded pretty quickly. In the past, you might have been called a rebellious child. It is possible that the environment you grew up in was erratic, hostile or even aggressive. You may tend to bottle up your emotions and lash out in anger at times. IC also refers to where we like to keep things private- therefore Aries IC could mean that you like to keep your innermost desires to yourself or generally have a shy nature around groups. On the positive note, your upbringing had teach you to become self reliant and follow your desires with a relentless determination. What does MC in Libra Mean? As a Libra Midheaven, communication is your most effective tool. Your words are charming, you know exactly what to say at the right time, but they can also cut through people like a sword when they need to. People think that you are charismatic, intellectual, discerning, but also flirtatious and fun. You thrive on making things orderly for yourself and for those around you. It is as if you find an inner release by studying and solving other people’s problems. By having your MC in Libra, importance of balance, teamwork and diplomacy are highlighted in the areas of career and reputation. Because of these qualities, you naturally excel in the areas of teaching, law, politics, psychology, and writing. But regardless of the path you choose in the world, your success relies on finding your inner equilibrium between thought and emotion. Overall, with your IC in Aries and MC in Libra, you are learning to set your pace: Be courageous but not hasty. Follow your ambitions, but always have a rational plan. Express yourself openly, but with tact instead of anger. Trust your independence, but learn to work with others. Return to Astrology

  • South Node conjunct (North Node opposite) Aspects in Synastry

    Sun conjunct South Node (North Node opposite Sun): The relationship often starts off with magnetic attraction, distinct familiarities and a sense of ‘’meant to be’’. At least in the beginning, it invokes friendly feelings more so than romantic. It is as if when you two agree, you can finish off each other’s sentences. But when you don’t, drama never seems to stop. The evolution of this karmic bond greatly depends on the level of maturity and self awareness of both partners. Even though they both feel the same love on a deeper level, their egoic responses, values or needs to it may be different. There may also be significant external obstacles such as long distance, cultural and age differences, etc. Sun person may be hesitant to create a more intimate bond at first, whereas South Node person may feel unsatisfied in the relationship eventually. Moon conjunct South Node (North Node opposite Moon): The sense of familiarity and attraction is felt intuitively. Even in the early stages of the connection, there is a deep, unexplainable desire to be a safe emotional haven for each other. Moon person feels this very intensely, and as they bond deeper and deeper, South Node’s karmic patterns start to emerge into the present relationship. After a period of time, Moon person may feel drained by South Node’s inner fears, insecurities and needs. Same issues seem to repeat itself over and over again until South Node makes a conscious effort to break these cycles. Despite many obstacles and challenges, once formed, it is a very difficult bond to break. Even if the relationship doesn’t work out, both partners eventually learn very important lessons on their emotional growth. Venus conjunct South Node (North Node opposite Venus): This aspect is characterized by a powerful urge to be close to each other. In the past life, it is very likely that this was a romantic relationship that prematurely ended due to external circumstances- just like in the story of Romeo and Juliet. Venus conjunct South Node is a karmic rope that was sewed with the desire to be reunited once again. It is as if when you come together, you feel comforted and whole. Unrealistic idealization is often mutual, but especially for South Node person, who could be seeing Venus as this ‘’perfect’’ partner that came to rescue them. And this is exactly where the problems start. As the passion settles and same past circumstances start straining the relationship, they both tend to sweep things under the rug or just ‘’give up’’ when things get too hard. Venus person’s issues on self worth could be triggered, or South Node may get too lazy in the relationship. However much they just want to stop the time and live in a pink bubble, tracks of evolution never stop. Eventually, one partner may want to escape this pink bubble if they had outgrown the other. The lesson here is to encourage each other’s evolution and take a more realistic approach towards love. Mars conjunct South Node (North Node opposite Mars): Every interaction is bursting with passion and dynamic energy. As usual, tighter the orb, the more intense. If it is a romantic relationship, sex has an addictive quality. If it is a partnership, competitiveness is the driving force. This synastry aspect indicates that in the past life, there was an unfinished ‘’battle’’ between the two partners. Now, Mars person feels this as a very strong desire to ‘’take action’’ towards the South Node. SN person feels a surge of energy in the presence of Mars: The more Mars pursues and invests their attention, the more they get addicted. Despite the irresistible attraction, Node person may eventually outgrow the connection, or feel that the constant push and pull dynamic is too draining. Saturn conjunct South Node (North Node opposite Saturn): This connection feels like an unavoidable karmic pull, so much so that it is like a fly trapped into sticky resin. It is often very heavy, cold and limiting, especially for the South Node person, yet they can’t seem to move out of it, and this can go on for a very long time. There may be significant obstacles as well, such as an age gap, traditional differences, physical and emotional distance, etc. On the other hand, there may be a lot of coincidences or ‘’synchronicities’’ that are hard to ignore. The sense of commitment is very strong in both partners, however, due to these difficult life lessons and obstacles constantly thrown into the relationship, it may feel like finding the right person in the wrong time. Saturn person’s lesson here is to work on their fears and need for control. If Saturn turns into an immovable object or a domineering force, South Node feels invalidated, hurt, or even abused. South Node may be avoiding necessary changes in order to grow out of their comfort zone. After a while, they may grow a dependency for each other even though the relationship is dysfunctional. South Node-Saturn conjunction is a lesson on learning to work together as a team through hardships, respecting each other’s independence in every step. Pluto conjunct South Node (North Node opposite Pluto): This is a mutually passionate, obsessive, transforming kind of aspect. Knowingly or not, Pluto person usually becomes the lead and stirs South Node’s subconscious patterns and traumas. Many uncomfortable, undealt past experiences come to the surface through this relationship as a result of a past life power struggle. Just like Saturn conjunct South Node, sometimes this aspect may indicate a codependency or abusive tendencies. South Node being the comfort zone, it doesn’t respond very well to change- and this is exactly the reason why Pluto comes into their life. South Node conjunct Pluto is a lesson on control: what to let go and where to move on, even at times it is the hardest thing to do.

  • Venus Aspects in Synastry: To Sun, Moon, Mars and Venus

    Venus represents our love language: what we really value in relationships, how we like to express and receive it. In synastry, harmonious Venus aspects increase compatibility and attraction, whereas hard aspects tend to create tension in the communication of love. Keep in mind that an unaspected Venus in synastry doesn’t necessarily mean absence of romance or attraction. Before you explore how Venus aspects affect your relationship, I recommend identifying which signs and houses you and your partner’s natal Venus occupies. Next: Venus in Partner's House- Synastry House Overlays You may also be interested in: Composite Venus Through Houses SUN-VENUS Aspects in Synastry (conjunction, sextile, trine, opposition, square) Sun conjunct Venus is characterized by a significant physical attraction as well as mutual respect and admiration. Sun feels loved and accepted for who they are in Venus person’s presence. Venus tends to feel the intensity of the connection more, although it is mutual. There is a lot of warm expression of love through cuddling and kissing. However, ‘’too much of a good thing’’ may also apply here. Sometimes, Sun person may feel suffocated in the relationship especially if Venus is overly affectionate or possessive. In return, Venus may feel that their emotional needs are not fully met. Among Sun-Venus contacts, Sun trine Venus is perhaps the most pleasant and long lasting. There still may be differences of opinions or ego conflicts at times, but due to the harmonious trine energy, it is easier to forgive one another. Sun sextile Venus is felt lesser in intensity than a conjunction but it is very beneficial for a relationship nonetheless. Due to the similarities in values, artistic interests and self expression, there is a great potential for a long lasting companionship. With Sun square Venus sexual attraction is often very strong, but there may be significant differences in tastes, self expression or in their romantic view of love. Alternatively, Venus may feel rejected, unappreciated or misunderstood by the Sun person. A lot of emotional maturity is needed from both Sun and Venus in order to resolve this square energy. Sun opposite Venus indicates completely opposite views on love, tastes, wants and needs. This opposition often creates such a strong sexual pull towards one another at first that it is hard to resist. Things can go south when both Sun and Venus get stuck in a dance of push pull. If Venus person does the pursuing more, Sun may be the one to withdraw. In some cases, Venus person’s love may be unrequited. MOON-VENUS Aspects in Synastry (conjunction, sextile, trine, opposition, square) As one of the best synastry aspects for relationships, Moon conjunct Venus ranges from sweet and cuddly to deeply sensual and sensitive. Both partners feel comfortable sharing their feelings in the relationship. Even though often Venus may be the one that falls in love first, feelings are mutual. They deeply care for one another and problems are often easily resolved. However, it may also create an overly sensitive and indulgent type of dynamic. Moon trine Venus represents a highly compatible synergy that is often found in long term relationships. Their connection is abundantly affectionate, balanced and supportive. Moon sextile Venus is very similar to the trine aspect. This aspect suggests that when Venus openly and abundantly shows her love, even with small gestures of affection, Moon person feels inspired to express their deeper feelings. With Moon square Venus, partners have a difficulty relating to one another on a deep emotional level. This may be due to lingering unresolved feelings, baggages from the past relationships, or misinterpreting each other’s sensitivity. They both tend to project insecurity and jealousy to one another, even though there is a significant amount of love and attraction is present. Moon opposite Venus indicates a strange tension in the air, where both partners crave an intimate and nurturing bond but there seems to be some differences in the way they express their affection or what they value in a relationship. For example, when it comes to emotions one person may be too reserved and the other more expressive. Even though the element of ‘’sameness’’ is missing, their opposite energies can complement each other beautifully when both partners show more empathy to one another. MARS-VENUS Aspects in Synastry (conjunction, sextile, trine, opposition, square) I have covered Mars conjunct Venus in best synastry aspects in relationships. What makes this aspect so ‘’ideal’’ in synastry is the sexual merging of the ultimate masculine (Mars) and feminine (Venus) energies. This connection sets off fireworks instantly, but unfortunately if Mars person is too aggressive or if Venus is too insecure, it ends up exploding in the same intensity. Mars trine/sextile Venus is where passion meets romance. Mars person is on a pursuit to charm Venus. The more Venus feels treasured, the more interaction and affection they invest. Both feel more vibrant and confident in each other’s company. Trine and sextile aspects are lesser in intensity than a conjunction. Regardless, curiosity, fun and excitement never seem to die off, and therefore they are one of the best contacts for a long term relationship/ marriage. Challenging aspects such as Mars square Venus and Mars opposite Venus suggest that even though partners are very well matched in passion- sometimes even to the point of obsession, there is a competitive tension between them. There may be a constant cycle of break up make up. Mars person tries to set the pace in the relationship but sometimes acts selfish, hostile or out of reach. In return Venus feels alienated and unappreciated. Especially when Mars opposes Venus, their stance on love may be too different. In order to resolve these issues, both partners should invest in the relationship equally. VENUS-VENUS Aspects in Synastry (conjunction, sextile, trine, opposition, square) Venus conjunct Venus indicates that both partners are very similar in the way they want to give and receive love. They both like to indulge in each other’s hobbies and fantasies. The result is a harmonious companionship, whether it is just a friendship or something more romantic. Same with the conjunction, Venus trine/sextile Venus aspects feel very warm, pleasant and loving. Even though these aspects are not infallible indication of a long lasting romantic relationship, they quickly hit it off and the relationship has a great potential to evolve into something deeper. Venus square Venus and Venus opposite Venus aspects denote conflicting values, wants and needs. Either Venus partner may have a sense of ‘’not my type’’. Especially with the square, main blockage is usually differences in their love languages. For example, one Venus may be showing their affection mostly physically, whereas the other craves long, uninterrupted conversations. Venus opposite Venus usually makes it hard to connect as companions let alone romantic partners due to the varying opposite values. To discover other synastry aspects, click here.

  • Tarot Cards Combinations: The Tower and Hanged Man

    This is one of those combinations that sticks in your mind long after the reading. As one of the most controversial and bewildering cards of tarot, the Hanged Man represents a complete surrender to what lies ahead. Therefore seeing the crumbling walls and crashing thunders of the Tower right next to it can be an intimidating sight. The Tower and Hanged Man Astrological Associations The Tower card is associated with Aries zodiac sign which is ruled by Mars. Mars can be both destructive and constructive, depending how it is utilized- just like the Tower energy. The Hanged Man is associated with Neptune, ruler of Pisces- a planet of mysticism and illusion. Just like the Hanged Man, Neptune escapes the everyday reality through spirituality and fantasy, sometimes to the point of self delusion. Whenever I see Tower and Hanged Man together, karma releasing comes to mind. Indeed, the Tower is a notoriously frightening card. It represents events that shake your foundations, which often arrive in an inevitable, painful and unexpected way. However, with the Hanged Man by its side, you are now invited in this limbo state to see this Tower moment from an entirely different perspective: an opportunity to clear away painful patterns from your past, letting go of what no longer serves you. Both cards represent higher forces at play, or situations you cannot control, depending on your perspective. This is where the Hanged Man says: the one thing you can always control is how you respond and deal with the things which are out of your control. In short, the Tower and Hanged Man combination in tarot represents a massive transformational energy where the outcome highly depends on your own willpower and spiritual awareness. The Tower and Hanged Man Tarot Combination in Love This duo represents a significant event that will shape your future perspective on love. Whether you are single, married or in a relationship, there is a painful truth that needs to be dealt with (the Tower) which will make your life turn upside down for a while (the Hanged Man). In some extreme cases, Tower and Hanged Man together can be interpreted as a divorce, break up or loss of a loved one. However I don’t necessarily see this combination as an definite conclusion, but more so as a period of pause/ separation in which there is a lot of healing that needs to be done. To me, the Tower and Hanged Man duo is also about releasing your karmic bonds. It is about learning to forgive the actions of Tower and spiritually evolving by choosing to trust your soul path. Since this combination is a tough healing process, emotions involved is constantly evolving. Therefore, the Tower and Hanged Man as feelings may represent anything from forgiveness or resentment, letting go or getting stuck. What is clear is that they are trying to move on from a feeling of loss or sadness. They are probably very closed off and cautious towards love at this time. The Tower and Hanged Man Tarot Combination in Work and Finances A dramatic change (the Tower) which will force you on a temporary period of pause (the Hanged Man). Tower here may represent leaving your current work/ career path or a significant financial loss. The Hanged Man puts things on a stagnation period, but it is up to you to open yourself up to new perspectives and use this time to invest in your knowledge and skills. Whatever you choose to do next, clear advice here is to learn the lessons you need to learn from the Tower moment and don’t look back. The Tower and Hanged Man Tarot Combination in Health After an unexpected health problem (the Tower) comes a period of healing and reflection (the Hanged Man). Both the Tower and Hanged Man’s advice is to break unhealthy patterns. Alternatively, it can also be a warning about an extremely stressful outside situation that is affecting your health.

  • Ascendant Aspects in Synastry: To Sun, Moon, Mars and Venus

    Ascendant (also known as ASC or Rising Sign) aspects in synastry give us insight on first impressions, the level of attraction as well as how partners relate to each other over the long term. Harmonious contacts to the Ascendant can help a relationship get off the ground. Zodiac signs compatibility should be taken into account whenever we are looking at ASC in synastry. For example, when two people share the same Ascendant sign, or when one person’s Rising sign is complementary to the other’s Sun sign, chances are strong that you will like each other A LOT. Going from liking to loving on the other hand depends on other factors. Don’t Ignore Your Descendant’s Role in Synastry Another important point to look for is the Descendant, which is the exact opposite point of Ascendant in your birth chart. This line is called Ascendant-Descendant axis, which gives us incredibly important insight on what we look for in an ideal partner and how we build our close relationships. Your Descendant sign reflects what you are unconsciously attracted to. Although you don’t necessarily possess or identify with your Descendant traits, you keep gravitating towards people who can provide those. SUN-ASCENDANT Aspects in Synastry (conjunction, sextile, trine, opposition, square) Sun conjunct Ascendant (Sun opposite Descendant) represents a dynamic start. You are drawn to each other like magnets. Usually, Ascendant feels this instant attraction more and pursues first. Ascendant person admires the way Sun carries themselves: from their looks to mannerisms. Sun person inspires and energizes Ascendant to strive towards their highest expression. Most common problem here is ego conflicts. With Sun trine/sextile Ascendant aspects, physical attraction is less intense than a conjunction or opposition- but so as the potential ego conflicts. You admire and respect each other’s identity and don’t try to change one another. You share similar interests and values. These aspects are often found in the foundations of long term relationships. Sun square Ascendant makes it hard to find an equal ground. Even though there is a compelling attraction, tensions rise very often when partners start pointing out flaws or force each other to change. Especially getting Sun person to see Ascendant’s point of view may be very challenging. In order to resolve this square, both partners should be more accepting, honest and patient. Sun opposite Ascendant (Sun conjunct Descendant) is a strong indication of wanting to be together. The romantic and sexual intensity is off the charts, especially if the signs are a match. However, push-pull dynamic is also common. This opposition is a balancing act, until you get on the same exact page, mutual and fair compromise may be necessary. MOON-ASCENDANT Aspects in Synastry (conjunction, sextile, trine, opposition, square) Moon conjunct Ascendant (Moon opposite Descendant) is a very significant and delicate aspect due to the emotional intensity. They both deeply affect each other’s mental and emotional state, very often Ascendant person being the most affected. It is as if you intuitively understand each other’s core psyche. Despite the chemistry and otherworldly connection, both partners need to be on the same level of emotional maturity in order to get the relationship off the ground. Codependency and projection are common issues here. Moon trine Ascendant creates a very comfortable and harmonious space around the relationship as well as sexual attraction. Moon person can express their deepest emotions safely and openly to the Ascendant. Moon sextile Ascendant has the same easy going energy as a trine. ‘’Feeling accepted and loved’’ is the theme here. This aspect shows a great potential to create a deeper bond, whether it is a romantic or friendly connection. Ascendant square Moon challenges partners to evolve and create a deeper connection by working on their problems together. With this aspect, emotional misunderstandings, codependency, projection and mirroring are some of the problems. Moon person may feel that Ascendant is not providing the emotional depth and security they need. Ascendant may feel overwhelmed and frustrated by these expectations. Moon opposite Ascendant (Moon conjunct Descendant) feels physically, mentally and emotionally captivating. However, such a powerful contact to the Moon also brings out deep seated fears and anxieties to the surface. It has the same challenges as Ascendant square Moon. The key here is to show mutual empathy and nurturing. MARS-ASCENDANT Aspects in Synastry (conjunction, sextile, trine, opposition, square) With Mars conjunct Ascendant (Mars opposite Descendant) sexual attraction is very, very potent. Mars person almost instantly makes their interest evident to the Ascendant person. However, we all know that Mars has a tendency to act impulsive and combative- so here, Mars’s actions are usually irritating to Ascendant. If the synastry chart doesn’t have softer aspects or zodiac signs are not complementary, this connection may just feel like a frustrating tug of war. Mars trine/sextile Ascendant aspects are felt a little less fiery and sexy than a conjunction, however cooperation is much easier. Mars square Ascendant is a very challenging aspect. It is likely that the some of your core views and the way you act on things are very different. Initial attraction is usually followed by constant friction in the relationship. Mars opposite Ascendant (Mars conjunct Descendant) indicates infatuation and an instant sexual chemistry. Mars is usually the one that takes the lead, and Ascendant person loves this affection at first. On the other hand, there is a power struggle, and if partners are not on the same page, the constant push and pull may strain the relationship. VENUS-ASCENDANT Aspects in Synastry (conjunction, sextile, trine, opposition, square) Venus conjunct Ascendant (Venus opposite Descendant) indicates an aesthetic and sensual type of connection which may feel like an instant crush, or even finding your soulmate. Ascendant finds Venus person’s presence magnetic, fun and beautiful. They enjoy spending quality time together. However, Venus-Ascendant conjunction refers to the initial sparks of physical attraction and can’t tell us more about how well a relationship will evolve. Venus trine/sextile Ascendant aspects represent a magnetic first impression just like the Venus conjunct Ascendant, although generally with less sexual attraction and more friendly feelings. Both partners may share similar views in art, fashion and romance. Venus square Ascendant often goes along with ‘’ You are not my type.’’ Although there is a level of chemistry, it may be too superficial or short lived, depending on other aspects in the synastry chart. Venus opposite Ascendant (Venus conjunct Descendant) represents a long lasting physical attraction. Even though they have very loving feelings for one another, both Ascendant and Venus may idealize their romance too quickly. Venus person may also have a tendency to sweep problems under the rug. What we often see here is a beautiful start which has a potential to emotionally grow and deepen.

  • Jupiter Aspects in Synastry: To Sun, Moon, Venus and Mars

    SUN-JUPITER Aspects in Synastry (conjunction, sextile, trine, opposition, square) Sun and Jupiter are so similar in many ways, that some call Jupiter the second Sun. Jupiter is the planet of higher thinking, whereas Sun represents our conscious mind. Harmonious aspects between the two expand each other’s horizons.

Not only you aid each other’s personal development by moving in parallel, relationship is also evolving with you. Sun and Jupiter conjunction is mutually optimistic, adventurous and daring, but there is also a tendency to overdo things. General themes of Sun sextile/trine Jupiter aspects are playfulness, generosity and open mindedness. There is an adorable, lighthearted friendship between the two. Even though both have strong competitive spirits, they like to channel this energy through teasing jokes and flirty games. Jupiter gives a lot of encouragement and support to Sun in achieve their goals. With hard aspects such as Sun square/opposite Jupiter, clashes of opinions or religious/ philosophical beliefs are likely. Jupiter pushes Sun person towards change and flexibility, most of the time with good intentions. Especially with opposition, Sun person may take this as a threat to their ego. They both get carried away easily with exuberant, confronting, risky behaviors. In order to resolve these energy blockages, both Sun and Jupiter should develop self control and open mindedness. MOON-JUPITER Aspects in Synastry (conjunction, sextile, trine, opposition, square) When Jupiter’s kind, bubbly and generous nature is harmonized with Moon’s nurturing side, an unconditionally accepting and uplifting relationship is indicated. On the other hand, Jupiter likes to explore everything it touches and Moon as the symbol of our subconscious mind, doesn’t want to be disturbed in this area. Challenges of Moon-Jupiter connections are emotional misunderstandings, possessiveness and insecurities. With Moon conjunct Jupiter in synastry, Jupiter person have a positive influence on Moon’s psyche. In return, Moon person introduces an abundance of nurturing, deep feelings to the connection. They often share similar philosophies in life. More so than romantic attraction, this aspect indicates bonding as friends at first. Emotions may run a little too high at times which can create conflicts. Moon sextile/trine Jupiter aspects are very similar to conjunction written above. They are characterized by providing emotional support and comfort to one another. Sextiles and trines are also softer aspects, which means that quarrels are less likely. Moon square/opposite Jupiter are challenging synastry aspects. With Moon square Jupiter, inner tensions rise. Jupiter person may feel emotionally exhausted trying to satisfy Moon’s emotional needs. Yes, Jupiter is very giving but also values independence. So when Jupiter asks for some space or distances themselves a little bit, Moon person is often riddled with fears of losing their partner. Moon opposite Jupiter aspect suggests a difficulty in understanding each other’s emotions. Jupiter person, willingly or unwillingly may trigger mood swings and overanxious or overoptimistic behaviors in Moon person. One of the challenges of this opposition is that the relationship struggles finding structure in reality. VENUS-JUPITER Aspects in Synastry (conjunction, sextile, trine, opposition, square) Venus-Jupiter is a very charismatic and successful duo. Harmonious aspects between Venus and Jupiter can be found in long term relationships, marriages, business partnerships and friendships. Since both planets bond with their appreciation in having more and more in their life, overindulgence is their biggest challenge. Venus conjunct Jupiter is signified by fun, pleasure and warmth. They also boost each other’s self confidence and success. Venus person is magnetized by Jupiter’s friendly, generous and open attitude. Jupiter expands Venus’s sensual energy. Both Venus and Jupiter allow each other to retain their individuality, so the relationship is flexible and evolves naturally. On the other hand, they can easily drive each other to excessive behaviors, such as drinking or spending too much. Venus trine Jupiter is one of the most beautiful aspects found in synastry. It creates the same level of attraction the conjunction written above, but with less intensity. There is a lot of sincerity and generosity flowing between them, which helps problems get resolved easily. Same as trine, Venus sextile Jupiter partnership has a great potential to succeed as a friendship, business partnership or a romantic relationship. Both Venus and Jupiter introduces positive ideas and opportunities to each other. When a synastry chart has other hard aspects, Venus trine/sextile Jupiter may help soften these energies. Venus square Jupiter is a hard aspect which may feel like ‘’too much of a good thing’’. Too playful, extravagant, too lighthearted, and so on. Just like in square, overindulgence is still a big issue when it comes to Venus opposite Jupiter. This aspect also represents opposing views in interests or philosophies. In order to resolve conflicts in values, both partners should be open minded and adaptable. Venus person may have an urge to cling on/possess Jupiter. MARS-JUPITER Aspects in Synastry (conjunction, sextile, trine, opposition, square) Mars-Jupiter connection walks the line between expansive and explosive. Mars as the planet of passion and action is being touched by Jupiter, a planet known to expand everything it touches. As a result, limitless energy is born in between them. Jupiter and Mars resembles a couple who goes for a hike early in the morning, immediately followed by a mind blowing sex, then they stimulate each other’s mind with exciting conversations. Mars conjunct Jupiter aspect is bursting with vigorous physical energy: A lot of sex, outdoor activities, satisfying conversations, even financial endeavors. Mars person can help Jupiter develop in life, whereas Jupiter boosts Mars with confidence, enthusiasm and new ideas. They challenge and tease each other a lot, sometimes to the point of frustration. With Mars trine/sextile Jupiter, physical and intellectual chemistry is very strong. Communication is effortless. This is a couple who knows how to have fun as well as work together on their life goals. Jupiter person may help Mars recognize their full potential. In the case of Mars square Jupiter, Jupiter person may have an exaggerating influence on Mars. Clashes of ego and heated arguments are common. In order to resolve this square, both partners should act more responsible and grounded in the relationship. Mars opposite Jupiter represents differences in beliefs or the way you act on things. Jupiter person may consider Mars to be too impulsive or immature at times. Mars may overact in order to impress Jupiter. Together they often act on reckless or overindulgent behaviors.

  • The Emperor and High Priestess Tarot Combination in Love, Work and Health

    The Emperor is the 4th card of Major Arcana. Discover the full meaning of the Emperor card here The High Priestess is the 2th card of Major Arcana. Discover the full meaning of the High Priestess card here Whenever you draw the Emperor and High Priestess combination, think about Mars-Moon dynamic. Mars is all about expression and action. It is stubborn, outward, assertive. The Emperor creates structure and rules by tapping into Mars: He represents ''masculine/provider''. All receptive wisdom is the Moon. The High Priestess creates inner harmony by listening to her intuition and emotions. Instead of taking action, she flows naturally and effortlessly through Moon’s cycles: She represents ''feminine/receiver''. While it is true that the energies of these cards are like day and night, they are actually two pieces of a whole: Divine union of masculine and feminine. Regardless of our genders, each one us embody both of these energies. That is why when the Emperor meets High Priestess, Universe is asking you to balance masculine and feminine energies within and around you. Overall, finding an equilibrium in your life is the key message here. The Emperor and High Priestess Tarot Combination in Love When the Emperor and High Priestess learns to work together despite their differences, it is pure magic. Even though this is a deeply compatible and satisfying dynamic, loaded with passion and intrigue, there may be issues surrounding the give and take aspect of the connection. The Emperor is often a warrior in love. When he desires something, he often moves too fast and hot for High Priestess’s gentle emotionality. Due to his protecting and providing nature, he is also known as the ‘’father figure’’ of Tarot- However sometimes he takes this approach too far and becomes bossy, self-righteous and overly controlling in a relationship. If the Emperor energy is more dominant in your love life, one or both partners may need to move on from this attitude into a more receptive and loving approach. On the other hand, The High Priestess in this relationship may represent a sense of something hiding behind a veil of secrecy: this could be about unrevealed emotions/motives, or in extreme cases it can point to a third party situation. If the relationship represents more of the High Priestess qualities, it may suffer finding a stable ground. In this case, both partners should work on open communication and practicality. Even if you are single, this inner balancing work between the masculine and feminine energies is necessary in order to welcome the most fulfilling love into your life . And lastly, especially if you are asking about the future of a relationship, The High Priestess gives the message of ‘’listen to your intuition, you already know the answer.’’ The Emperor and High Priestess Tarot Combination in Work The Emperor is one of the best cards to receive regards to your work life. This shows a driven and consistent approach in reaching your material goals, creating your foundations and providing for others. He may also represent a boss or a father figure whose material advice and support is beneficial. The High Priestess is encouraging you to be more receptive, creative and intuitive while pursuing those goals. It is all about less doing and more receiving: When you are in the dark about a situation, trust your gut. When you are overwhelmed, take time to quiet your mind and be open to welcome more inner and outer wealth in your life. Alternatively, the High Priestess can also represent a secretive person, hidden assets or lack of clarity in your situation. The Emperor and High Priestess combination may also represent a successful partnership, especially in creative endeavors.

  • Neptune Aspects in Synastry: To Sun, Moon, Venus and Mars

    Also known as God of the Sea- Neptune is like a massive, faraway ocean of fantasy with many hidden depths, so naturally everyone seems to have a unique experience with this planet. In synastry, Neptune contacts are all about a delicate balance between fantasy and reality. Harmonious Neptune aspects are responsible for an otherworldly and compassionate type of love experience, while negative aspects may feel like a detached and illusionary connection. SUN-NEPTUNE Aspects in Synastry (conjunction, sextile, trine, opposition, square) Sun and Neptune is a couple who loves to dream and create together. In hard aspects, Neptune person may act avoidant, or idolize the Sun person to the point of denying the truth, whereas Sun may have an ostentatious way of expressing his/her personality to Neptune. Ego clashes are common. Neptune conjunct Sun indicates tremendous potential for spiritual and creative growth for both. Sun person is drawn to Neptune’s unusual and mystical aura, and Neptune adores this attention. Neptune person may even think that Sun is their ideal romantic partner, but they may also refuse to see Sun person's faults at times. They can both elevate and expand each other’s minds if there is mutual understanding and trust. In the case of Neptune opposite Sun, just like in conjunction, Sun person still feels an inexplicable fondness towards Neptune, but problems may arise if Neptune person puts Sun on an unrealistic pedestal. Trust is the biggest issue that needs to be resolved here, as there can be some deceptions and misunderstandings. Neptune square Sun is a hard aspect which creates a barrier of misunderstanding and inequality in give and take. Often Neptune may feel too distant for Sun’s light to reach in order to understand what’s going on in Neptune’s mind. Blocked energies can be resolved if both partners are honest and more receptive towards one another. Neptune trine and sextile Sun is a mutually pleasing aspect loaded with harmonious exchanges about creativity, spirituality and romance. Both Sun and Neptune support each other to fulfill their personal dreams, perhaps even accomplish them together. These aspects also indicate similar interests in philosophy, art and music. MOON-NEPTUNE Aspects in Synastry (conjunction, sextile, trine, opposition, square) Moon and Neptune is a highly sensitive duo with layers and layers of deep emotional attraction, which can almost feel like a psychic bond or finding ‘’the one’’. If both partners can show their truest selves to one another, and work on building a healthy foundation instead of escaping to fantasy world when things get tough, these aspects have great long term relationship potential. Neptune conjunct Moon is an intense and equally fragile emotional connection. Moon person can find emotional security as well as a mysterious intrigue with the Neptune. Neptune can feel like they can understand Moon in a deep spiritual level. This can indicate a psychic connection. As the Moon dives deeper and deeper, it sometimes gets lost in Neptune’s fog. Here, confusion and delusion are common issues. Neptune trine and sextile Moon aspects suggest an intuitive and mutual understanding when it comes to even the most out of the box ideas. Both Neptune and Moon person can easily talk to each other about their deepest feelings, life's mysteries and creative ideas. Together they delve into the realm of intuition, which instantly creates an unbreakable emotional bond. With Neptune square Moon, often Neptune person may feel unreachable or emotionally unavailable to the Moon person. Since both planets are highly sensitive, each argument may turn into a deep emotional wound. This aspect symbolizes a fog of confusion, deceit and misunderstanding, which can be resolved by more gentle compassion. In the case of Neptune opposite Moon, whenever Neptune seems detached, or lacks clarity in its self expression, Moon person’s mind tends to escape into a fantasy world, often filled with unrealistic expectations and self deceiving thoughts. This bubble of irrationality and moodiness that surrounds both Moon and Neptune often leads to escapist or passive aggressive behavior. VENUS-NEPTUNE Aspects in Synastry (conjunction, sextile, trine, opposition, square) The relationship of Venus and Neptune is characterized by warmth, gentleness and a sense of dreamy romance. Hard aspects between the two usually suggest unrealistic idealization, escapism, and unreceptiveness. With Venus conjunct Neptune, Venusian energy feels like a beautiful instrument of sensual pleasure to Neptune. The relationship is glamorous, ideally romantic, almost ‘’too perfect’’ to be true. Due to this general dreaminess and idolization, both people may have a tendency to ignore each other's less than desirable attributes. With Venus opposition/square Neptune, even though the ‘’otherwordly’’ connection is still strong, it may also feel like a romantic dance in a blinding fog. This is because especially from Neptune person’s part, there is a lot of illusion and avoidance when things go wrong. These hard aspects can be resolved by looking at the relationship more realistically, and truly accepting one another- with good, bad and the ugly. Venus trine and sextile Neptune aspects indicate being attuned to each other’s interests, needs and desires. Energies flow easier and there is more common ground between the two than not. These are wonderful aspects for long term relationships and marriages. MARS-NEPTUNE Aspects in Synastry (conjunction, sextile, trine, opposition, square) Mars-Neptune contacts often depend on how well they cooperate. Often Mars sets the pace in the relationship. Mars is a fiery, action oriented planet, while Neptune is all about dreaming and diving deep into the unexplored. Hard aspects may bring out the worst in both partners, where they both act instinctively instead of consciously harmonizing their opposing views. Mars conjunct Neptune usually is felt by Neptune person being energized by Mars’s passionate, sultry energy. If they blend well, they both feel safe to indulge in each other’s fantasies. However, Mars often moves too fast in the relationship, and therefore can trigger the avoidant, confusing part of Neptune's psyche. Neptune person should also be careful not sacricing too much in the relationship in order to get Mars's attention. With Mars trine and sextile Neptune, Neptune person is alluring and captivating to Mars. Since trines and sextiles are more harmonious than the rest, energies between the two are more complementary, and conflicts are resolved easier. Mars person can help Neptune to manifest his/her dreams into reality, and in return Neptune expands Mars’s horizons and calms them down. Mars opposition/square Neptune are hard aspects, where Mars person usually finds Neptune to be too submissive or passive. Neptune criticizes Mars for being too immature or rash. Mars energy can be too aggressive for Neptune's delicate nature. Even though attraction is strong, it is usually hard to find a common ground due to extreme differences, unless there are more compassionate aspects in the Synastry chart. Astrology
