Astrology And RELATIONSHIPS

Relationships make up a crucially important part of most people’s lives.  Indeed, the world’s literature, film and media industry, not to mention the work of psychotherapists and psychiatrists, would shrivel to almost nothing with the challenge of human relationships.  So, not surprisingly, there is a whole branch of astrology devoted to the study of the way people are likely to get on with each other.

Known as ‘synastry’ (literally ‘combined stars’), this branch of astrology provides a powerful means of studying the dynamics which are created in all kinds of relationships be it between lovers, teacher and pupil, business partners, parent and child, and so on.

By comparing and combining the different birth charts, the astrologer can provide valuable insights about the way in which people are likely to get on with each other and the kind of dynamics which will probably emerge in the relationship.

This type of comparison goes way beyond the grossly over-simplified sun sign ‘compatibility’ charts, beloved of popular articles on astrology.  Whilst different sun signs can be more or less compatible with one another, the comparison of charts is much more complex.  In fact, a compatibility of moon signs is usually much more important than sun signs for a long-term relationship of any kind.  Likewise, the idea that different astrological types will have different kinds of relationships is essentially sound.

Whether it is our relationship with a lover or a colleague, with our parents, our brothers and sisters, with friends, employers, fellow workers, our own children or with society at large, astrology will have something to say.  The principles of astrology can be used to understand the kinds of things we will seek in a relationship and the kinds of issues that relationships are likely to bring up for us.

We can also learn why different relationships bring out different sides of our personality, why we feel upbeat and optimistic with some people and down or awkward with others.
