Personal and Relationship success are much more than learning your Sun sign or reading your horoscope in the daily newspaper. Newspaper astrology is just for entertainment, and the good folks who write those columns know that. Even though they want to provide you with a little something useful, sun sign analysis alone isn't enough when it comes to life and relationships.

Astrology works. It shows us why some relationships work and why some don't work and what to do about it. It even shows us when, no matter what we do, a relationship or project isn't slated to work out. In short, we find out the reasons why we can't have what we want when we want it. Because TIMING IS EVERYTHING, knowing this "upfront" saves heartache. Astrology helps us understand the universe's heart beat and how to get our own souls in sync with it.
To start out, we have to understand the potentials locked in our birth charts. A horoscope is a map of the cosmos reflecting the state of the universe at the instant we entered earth's time stream. It is the blue print for our existence. It gives us insight as to what was on God's mind when he/she/it created us. The code to the stars was given us by the Creator for a reason. The stars are keys to timing, and timing is everything. Whether its the spring bloom in your garden or the cake baking in your oven. Timing is nearly EVERYTHING. It manifests as a thing or an event from within the fourth dimensional plane of ideal forms with substance here in the earthly third dimension. But enough of Neoplatonic philosophy!
You've heard it said that the definition of insanity is repeating the same behavior over and over again expecting different results. We tend to do this when we lack knowledge. When we lack patience. When we don't trust that there is a direct connection between the heart beat of our lives and the timing in the universe. The universe beats like an eternal heart. We learn, through our birth charts, how to get the beat of our lives in sync with the heart of the universe.There's a smart way to approach relationships and our lives. There's also the self-obssessed way. The smart way is coooperation with the Universe's time clock. The old (or "dumb") way is to force our will onto people, places and things without first burning the candle of self-knowledge!
If you are open to a whole new way of seeing yourself and your relationships in a whole new light, you've come to the right place!Are you ready for the journey?

Starcats' Relationship Astrology
Relationship astrology, in the main, uses two techniques:
1. Synastry,
which is the comparison of your horoscope and a partner's to study compatibility issues; and 2) Composite Midpoints, which is the merging of your and your partner's horoscope into one new horoscope. The Composite chart reveals the "purpose" of the relationship. It shows what the relationship entity looks like when two become "one."There are many ways in which Synastry and Composite horoscopes can be "moved" into the future. Stargazers use futurizing chart techniques called progressions and solar arc directions which allow us a glimpse into how matters are likely to unfold down the road. Future potentials are thus revealed and such star charts can be read for specific events such as one's wedding day, the first anniversary, birth of a child, and many other significant transitional moments a couple are likely to share.
If you aren't seeing someone right now, you may think that astrology has little to offer you. Not so! Your own birth chart holds the timing within it. The potentials for relationship are right inside your own horoscope. By using techniques such as Transits, Progressions, Solar Arc Directions, and Solar Returns, a good astrologer can advise you as to when your BEST TIMES for relationship manifestation are upcoming!

Synastry:
The comparison of two birth charts for compatibility. This highly popular chart evaluation technique lets you know where the strengths and weaknesses are in your relationship. How well do you two communicate? Can you make it better? If so, how? What are your shared goals? Views on money, children, career and fun? Do the two of you have a good shared SATURN aspect? Saturn is the planet associated with longevity of relationship. A strong Saturn connection is one of the secrets to long-lasting love! Find out!Composite Chart:
Another form of Synastry/chart comparison but with a different focus. A composite chart is created by blending two horoscopes together to form one horoscope. This blend is what astrologers call "midpoints." This midpoint chart shows you what the relationship entity itself SAYS about you in relation to the "other" in your life. Whether it's your live-in, spouse, friend, business partner, teacher, or boss, A composite midpoint chart can show you what the relationship itself is for! What it is trying to say! What its true purpose is all about! You can apply midpoint composite charts to transits, progressions, solar returning, eclipses, and much more. Composite and synastric astrology are two top keys in successful relationship negotiation!Family Relationships: Your experience and perspective on your core relationships with parents, siblings and extended family members can be seen through the lens of the natal horoscope. Family dynamics, harmonies and dysfunctions are even more dramatically seen by cross-chart comparison and evaluation of how this most profound, joyous and troubling relationship constellation works. Our intimate relationships, friendships, work relationships and future hopes all rest upon those very first and most critical of self-defining experiences: being a member of a family. Family dynamics astrology is intense yet supremely gratifying. Self-knowledge brings power. That is, power as "empowerment" -- the embodiment of the healthy life force needed to achieve and maintain a creative, soulful and enriched life.
Business & Business Partnerships: A business has a birth chart just as an individual does. Key players and their interactions can make or break a business whether it's on Wall Street or Main Street. The economy, nationally and internationally, effects a business very similarly to the way money issues impact intimate partnerships. Everyone from the mailroom to the board room is effected. Personal life crises experienced by key players is another common concern. Hidden emotions are absorbed into a company's collective mind without management's awareness. Private conflicts and negative emotions are projected nonverbally but set a tone or "climate" that operates at cross-purposes with company goals. [However, company principals or workers impaired by substance abuse present special difficulties which require quick intervention by medical, psychological and addiction recovery specialists.] Relationship astrology brings another dimension to complex professional relationships. Relationship astrology techniques can be applied to employer-employee and co-worker to co-worker associations as well. HOW the people in question communicate is the key! Understanding another's communication style and adopting new strategies to bridge gaps or soften encounters with difficult personalities can go a long way towards healing the workplace.
Special Features:
Fixed Stars, The Arabic Part of Marriage, the marriage asteroid Juno, the Part of Fortune and yearly eclipse patterns -- these special chart points provide greater and deeper insight into the psychology and timing factors that play into the manifestation of the relationship you're waiting for! With the exception of the asteroid Juno, the aforementioned techniques are literally centuries old and are not commonly used by most relationship astrologers. Tapping into what these "chart parts" can teach you and learning how to cooperate with cosmic timing is big astro secret to relationship success! |
