Introduction

The Relationship Report for two individuals applies to any type of relationship. It focuses on the relationship itself, rather than on the individuals who make it up. First a composite chart (mid-point chart) is created. The composite chart represents the fusion of energy that two people create when they come together in relationship. It is a third being. Like a child, it inherits qualities of both parents, though it has a life all its own and exists independently of either of them. The following interpretations should be regarded as being for the relationship itself, taken as an independent entity.

In the following report, each planetary placement and aspect is examined to reveal the basic qualities of your relationship, with the most important factors described first. Please keep in mind that these descriptions are not meant to put limitations on the relationship, but merely to describe its inherent tendencies.

However in a love relationship there will necessarily be some major adjustments that you will have to make. Over time, the ideas that drew you together may still excite you, but if you are looking for stability and homemaking, this relationship is not it. One of you may feel the need to pursue an individual path of growth that is totally independent from the other's input.

Chiron is called "the wounded healer" because it represents the archetype of imperfection and loss which when integrated leads to compassion and understanding of your own and others' suffering. In the past, one or both of you have probably experienced pain and frustration related to your self-concept, or there could have been trauma in your early years concerning parental protection which may have been withdrawn too suddenly or misapplied, or perhaps similar issues that arose with peers.

There are long-buried issues that may come up for you with this particular partner where you can make enormous progress as you work through them realistically and honestly. The empathy and the understanding of your own and your partner's issues that emerge from such a deep relationship will serve you well later in life.

With this aspect between composite Moon and Neptune, your relationship has a powerful emotional basis stemming from a high degree of sensitivity between you. You tend to be very focused on your joint ideals: your ideal environment, your ideal romantic circumstances, perhaps without ever finding the perfect reality. Together you possess an ethereal quality, noticeable to others, and a strong imagination with a propensity for withdrawing from the world from time to time into internal fantasies of your own making. You may also share powerful psychic abilities. You are likely to be hyper-aware of the vulnerability that mutually arises between you, bordering at times on self-sacrifice. Together you tend to sacrifice yourselves for each other, or for the good of others, so that you may need to be careful not to deceive yourselves about what is going on between and around you or to forget to take care of the practicalities of life on this planet. With Neptune strongly placed like this, it benefits you to look for opportunities to turn deception and confusion into clarity. Are you clear on your addictions and how to work with them? Are you willing to be yourselves and not just play out the other person's fantasy? Are you honest about how you feel about each other moment to moment, and are you honest with yourselves? Once you clear the potential fog between you, your relationship has the strong potential to be a spiritual light unto others.

Composite Moon in semi-sextile (within 0.7 degrees) with Chiron

The planetary energies attract each other, require effort, allow entry of new information.

This aspect in your composite chart symbolizes a relationship in which there is difficulty with the feminine and nurturing side of life, and also great potential for healing these areas as you work together. Of course the important early model for the feminine is mother, and it is likely that one or both of you experienced some degree of painful episodes there. If there were such traumas in your early relationship with your own mother or significant female parental figure, in the course of this relationship these may be helped toward resolution. In a marriage partnership, there may also be issues to be healed with your children, and the mothering and nurturing that they require. Role models may also come into play here, as you expand your understanding of who you really are in the context of this relationship. Issues with mother are of course endemic in both modern and ancient culture, as typified in mythology. Perhaps you had a close relationship, but yet your needs were somehow not met, resulting in unconscious resentments which only surfaced later in your adult life. Or there may have been emotional or physical abuse. These experiences are so painful that they are often suppressed from consciousness, and buried deep in the psyche. It is important as you progress through life to move past the resentment caused by early wounding into a more conscious and compassionate reconciliation with the walled off parts of your own nature. In order to make progress here, deep psychological process of some variety is strongly indicated, perhaps through therapy, and the issues that come up in close interpersonal relationship often represent a catalyst and provide guideposts for constructive change. Of course it does take work. If you shrink from the task, you may take heart in the fact that these issues will remain, and eventually you will find the way to deal with them. The effort is enormous, but the rewards are just as great. Once you have begun to make conscious the pain and alienation surrounding events from the long buried past, through the agency of this relationship, you can begin to truly be of help others as well as yourselves.

Composite Moon in trine (within 4.5 degrees) with Midheaven

The planetary energies flow smoothly; the connection is easy and beneficial.

With this aspect between composite Moon and the Midheaven, your relationship has a strong emotional basis with the possibility of a domestic or parenting focus.

Pluto in the Twelfth House (or sign) can bring a powerful longing for transcendence into the relationship. With this placement, you may feel confined and limited in the physical world, perhaps feeling more at home in a world of fantasy. You may desire to bring about changes in your life and feel yourselves unable to do so, at least while you are together.

Chiron in the composite chart reveals the area of your shared experience where you will encounter patterns of wounds and deep connection and where eventual healing and empathy will occur.

Chiron in the Seventh House (or sign) indicates a relationship that provides you both with an opportunity to face and heal deeply held wounds regarding your ability to relate with each other and those around you intimately. With this placement, you share a tremendous desire to connect with other people, as well as a tremendous frustration that arises from your inability to do so. Your attempts to connect may have been frustrated through experiences of early childhood, when you each wanted contact with others but were rejected or somehow prevented from establishing meaningful relationships with them. As a consequence, you have focused on these connections ever since and perhaps created this relationship in an attempt to finally heal these wounds. It becomes extremely important to establish a connection with another person, yet this contact, so desired and even longed for, can also be extremely painful. Any partial rejection can cause you to have to revisit the original pain. As time goes on, you may notice you sabotage your relationship experiences. You may also become compulsively attached to the idea of close personal involvement, valuing a desired union over your experience as an isolated ego, "on your own". Yet your very wholeness depends on your being able to stand independently. As you take advantage of this connection to become more fully conscious of the early wounding that you experienced, you can move through your pain toward a less fear-based way of relating, without recreating the self- undoing or the extreme sensitivity from before. You may also find that you can take the conscious knowledge you have gained through this process further by helping other people deal with these same issues. As you grow sure of yourselves, your wisdom with interpersonal relationships becomes a great source of strength for you relationship and for those around you as well.

Within this relationship you may encounter and overcome obstacles that prevent yourselves from reaching your full potential. You may find that in this relationship, you operate more from a fear of failing than from the expectation of success that would breed confidence for further achievement.

Either one of you may feel a keen lack of achievement in your own life, and compensate by trying too hard to help others, putting yourself in the background. As long as these relationship patterns operate more or less unconsciously, they are difficult to overcome, so the first step in surmounting them is to become more conscious of what's going on inside. Become aware of your own pain. Acknowledge and discover more about what exactly went on in past relationships to make you both feel so resigned with your present abilities in this one. At that point you can begin to come out from behind your painful experiences and really show yourselves to each other and to the world around you. With a more conscious understanding of your own dynamics, you can begin to help others in how they deal with similar issues, transforming your false sense of vicarious achievement into a strong center of true friendship.

Lunar North Node in the Twelfth House (or sign). South Node in the sixth house or sign. This placement in a composite chart signifies that within this relationship you each have an emphasis on spiritual rather than worldly concerns. Although the practical matters of everyday life come easily to you, you do not find your true happiness together in the pursuit of mundane affairs, but seek constantly to expand your horizons mentally and spiritually to a larger and more inclusive context. This may be difficult, for the pull of everyday life is very strong in you, and in many ways it is what you do best. In the past, you may have made much of refining your abilities in the practical world, dealing mainly with issues of personal health or of the welfare of others in small but important ways. Now, in this context of this relationship, your focus gradually shifts to a higher plane of activity. The two of you find your purpose not so much in day-to-day routine, but in sacrificing yourself to a higher raison detre, to advancing beyond the material world, perhaps even manifesting a disregard for your own well being. By giving up personal ego-involvement in your actions, you are each learning how to relate to others around you with true compassion.

South Node in the twelfth house or sign. This placement in a composite chart indicates that within this relationship one or both of you feels a great desire to be of service to other people. There may be a sense that in the past, this partner remained relatively unfocused, perhaps was dreamy and paid little attention to detail. But this connection commends each of you to the here and now. Rather than drift in cosmic realms, in the context of this relationship your focus must shift to the details of daily life, in a constant effort to improve self, to serve self and other, and to remain alert to the myriad mundane details of life that do not leave much time for otherworldly pursuits. This is a difficult transition to make, but necessary if you are to fulfill your destiny, and to really explore to the depths your reason for being together. Other conditions may arise, such as illness on the part of one of you that will be a test of the other's patience and commitment to service. As you work through these challenges, though, you come closer and closer to an understanding of how dealing with every-day issues really does connect you with the world of Spirit, in a quite different way, still operating at the core of your being.

One or both of you is likely to have particularly strong access to the world of dreams and inner fantasy, which may serve as an escape valve. If so, there may be a wound to your sense of place in this physical world. You may be extremely sensitive to the energy of others, and vicariously experience their pain, or allow yourself to be overly influenced by their opinion of you. Something perhaps keeps you out of touch with consensus reality, and you are not very comfortable with this role. It is as if you stand on the other side of a glass door from the rest of society, through which you alternately gaze longingly and then lose interest and wander away into your own fantasy. Your spiritual evolution involves moving through this issue, and there is a way that this relationship will be an important steppingstone for both of the partners in this regard. There may also be issues to work through regarding too much idealism or self-sacrifice by one of you. Once you have begun to work through these difficulties and establish a better sense of where you each stand vis a vis the remainder of society, the two of you are capable of tremendous spiritual powers. Together you may build bridges from this world to the visionary other, exhibiting great poetic or musical talent or the empathy of the born healer. Having come through a painful examination of your own psyche you are able to see more clearly and compassionately into the minds of others around you as well.
