Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver

Synastry Report

Between

Arnold Schwarzenegger

And

Maria Shriver

http://www.cornerstone-astrology.com/astrology-shop/ Introduction

Welcome to your synastry or compatibility report Arnold and Maria.

This report has been written to introduce you to the concepts of relationship astrology and is based on the astrology technique of Synastry, which compares the horoscopes of two people and interprets the correlations between them.

An astrological chart, also known as a horoscope, natal chart, or birth chart, records the relationship between the planets and the signs of the Zodiac. Charts can be calculated for the birth of a person, a community, an event or anything that seems momentous. The horoscope is as individual and unique as a fingerprint.

When reading these interpretations, please bear in mind that, inevitably, every chart will contain some contradictory influences, and as a result certain interpretations of different items in the same chart may seem difficult to reconcile. However, this may still be an accurate reflection your chart, as it is likely that you do experience conflicting desires, events and circumstances in your life.

Please also be aware of the fact that each person has positive and negative influences in the chart, and therefore in their lives. The challenge is to accept and overcome the negative influences, so that we can successfully focus on the positive traits. This report outlines the influence of both people's charts on each other.

Australian astrologer Stephanie Johnson has written the text in this report. Stephanie holds a Bachelor of Arts (Journalism) and was a journalist in Australia, England and the USA for 15 years before becoming a professional astrologer. She is currently a consulting astrologer, is Company Director of Esoteric Technologies Pty Ltd in Adelaide, Australia and Editor of the Australian Data Collection. She holds the FAA Practitioners' qualification and was a former editor of the Journal of the Federation of Australian Astrologers.

I hope you enjoy reading your report and gain a deeper insight into your relationship from it.

With best wishes

ASPECTS FROM ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER TO MARIA SHRIVER

Lunar Aspects

Arnold's Moon Trine Maria's Jupiter Orb 4°36' Separating This is a positive combination for any relationship enabling Arnold and Maria to overcome any obstacles in life and embrace the happiness of the present moment. Arnold and Maria enjoy each other's company and feel a certain zest for life when together. They share a need for fun-filled adventures and the capability of achieving their goals. Arnold and Maria feel that the world is their oyster that is ready to explore together. This can include holidays in far-away places, adventure travel and also encompasses any activity that expands their minds and views of life. This is a meeting of higher-minds. Arnold feels that Maria expands his horizons. Arnold feels safe and appreciated in this relationship. Maria knows that Arnold is a comrade in arms when it comes to fun and adventure. Maria feels that she is truly appreciated for her generosity and optimism. Together Arnold and Maria can conquer the world. Nothing seems too far-fetched. This combination augurs well for a long lasting and happy relationship.

Arnold's Moon Quincunx Maria's Uranus Orb 1°11' Separating The saying 'expect the unexpected' could be applied to this combination of Arnold's and Maria's planets. There is an element of excitement and adventure when Arnold and Maria get together, but there is also an element of insecurity. Both Arnold and Maria enjoy the thrill of being in each other's company exploring new territories together, but many relationships start with the thrill and ardour of romance only to have it fade later. This is the problem to be faced by Arnold and Maria. Unless they have other connections between more permanent or personal planets in their charts, Arnold and Maria are in danger of a growing discontent. There is a lack of stability that feeds both Arnold's and Maria's insecurities. Arnold becomes needy and Maria becomes distant and emotionally withdrawn. The problem is that Arnold feels that he cannot rely on Maria. What was once an adventure no longer seems so exciting. As a result Maria's impulsive nature becomes a source of discomfort for Arnold. On the other hand Maria thinks that her creativity is being stifled by Arnold's emotional needs. This belief may cause Maria to rebel, finding it difficult to commit to Arnold. This relationship, if a personal one, is likely to require a lot of freedom and an unorthodox approach in order for it to last. While this is a difficult combination for a personal union, it can be a positive one for less personal relationships such as friendships or a working project which requires creative and innovative ideas.

Arnold's Moon Trine Maria's Pluto Orb 5°03' Separating This is an intense and powerful relationship. Arnold and Maria feel a strong attraction to each other, one that seems to constantly draw them together. Sexual attraction may be powerful. Arnold's and Maria's deep feelings for each other need to be nurtured in a loving manner in order for the union to be long lasting. This relationship can be a positive or a http://www.cornerstone-astrology.com/astrology-shop/ Page 5

negative experience, depending on how Arnold and Maria handle intense feelings. Some individuals thrive on intensity, while others feel threatened and powerless. Arnold is likely to feel that Maria has transformed his life in some way. It's possible that Maria has changed the way that Arnold feels about the world, making him conscious of things that have been bubbling under the surface for a long time. Life is not the same for Arnold once he encounters Maria. Arnold is able to see through the explosive behaviour to the true heart of Maria and to nurture Maria's goodness in ways that she has not previously encountered. As a result Maria deeply appreciates the emotional support offered by Arnold. This is indeed a passionate union.

Solar Aspects

Arnold's Sun Conjunction Maria's Moon Orb 8°21' Applying This is an ideal combination for a close, personal relationship whether it be a close friendship or love relationship. Maria and Arnold enjoy each other's company and feel that the other person is giving something special to the relationship. They have a lot in common and the ability to share enjoyable times together. Arnold is likely to be the more dominant person in the relationship believing his identity and individuality are likely to be enhanced by the association. Perhaps Arnold receives emotional support from Maria which contributes to a greater sense of being alive and an ability to achieve his personal goals. Arnold may appreciate Maria's emotional insights. On the other hand Maria feels comforted by the relationship, perhaps playing a supportive role and offering emotional insights and comfort. Alternatively Maria may simply feel secure within the relationship, experiencing a sense of well-being. This relationship provides Maria with a supportive base from which to explore life. Both Maria and Arnold understand each other and enjoy an easy rapport which augurs well for their association.

Arnold's Sun Trine Maria's Venus Orb 4°59' Separating The combination of the Sun and the personal planet Venus is a positive one for personal relationships. It suggests that there is a sense of harmony and abundance in this union. It's likely that Arnold and Maria felt a strong attraction when they first met, possibly falling deeply in love. The durability of the attraction depends on other connections between the planets. However, Arnold and Maria are likely to remain friends even if they do not maintain an intimate partnership. Both Arnold and Maria feel at ease in each other's company, because they both feel that the other person is contributing positively to the union. As a result Arnold and Maria can relax and enjoy the benefits of their friendship. They seem to be able to settle arguments in a friendly and loving fashion, communicating with ease. Arnold feels that Maria enhances his sense of self. He feels valued by Maria and this helps him to truly shine in the world. Maria feels that her creativity is enhanced by her relationship with Arnold. The warmth and generosity of Arnold helps Maria better express herself in relationships. Perhaps Maria also benefits financially through her association with Arnold.

http://www.cornerstone-astrology.com/astrology-shop/ Page 6

Arnold's Sun Conjunction Maria's Uranus Orb 3°45' Separating This is a relationship full of verve and romance. Arnold and Maria are attracted to each other from the moment that they first meet and continue to experience excitement and joy in each other's company. The relationship brings something new and original into Arnold's and Maria's lives and they both feel enlivened as a result. Life becomes more of an adventure when Arnold and Maria are together. Their relationship may run a somewhat erratic or unorthodox course, but Arnold and Maria are both happy in the knowledge that theirs is a unique union. Arnold is excited by Maria's creativity, which somehow enhances his personal goals. Maria helps Arnold to see life in a new and different manner, freeing Arnold from past inhibitions. Maria knows that she has encountered someone who truly appreciates her as an individual. Maria can better express her original thoughts and ideas as a result of her relationship with Arnold. Together Arnold and Maria may explore an unusual hobby or pastime such as new technology, metaphysics, science, electronics, humanitarian or environmental concerns.

Arnold's Sun Opposition Maria's Chiron Orb 5°30' Separating This combination of the Sun and the asteroid Chiron is a difficult one, presenting both Arnold and Maria with the challenge of reassessing their life goals in order that they may head in new directions. This relationship is a significant one enabling both Arnold and Maria to grow and change, but only after some soul searching. As a result of this union Arnold may discover new talents and a new sense of self and Maria may find a new role as a teacher or healer. However, initially they have to overcome old hurts which stand in the way of honest communication. The path to greater self-understanding is not always smooth and this relationship is one of the lessons on the journey. Through delving into past hurts, this union can be a healing one and through each other Arnold and Maria can learn valuable lessons. It is important that Arnold and Maria develop compassion and understanding for each other. Otherwise they may unwittingly contribute to further emotional pain.

Mercury Aspects

Arnold's Mercury Trine Maria's Sun Orb 4°16' Separating The importance of communication in relationships cannot be emphasised enough. Without understanding of another person's point of view and the ability to communicate one's own thoughts and feelings a relationship can easily break down. This is an ideal combination for harmonious communications in a relationship. Maria and Arnold are able to communicate with ease, understanding how the other person thinks and sharing many of the same opinions. On the occasions when Maria and Arnold do disagree, they do so with a respect for each other's point of view. Maria and Arnold enjoy learning from each other and may take part in a shared activity or pastime from which they both learn about themselves and life. Both Maria and Arnold enjoy listening to each other, as well as talking. They may also enjoy writing notes to each other. Together they learn a greater understanding of each other and themselves. Maria has a great respect for Arnold's intellectual prowess and may http://www.cornerstone-astrology.com/astrology-shop/ Page 7

even help him to develop his mental skills. Maria knows that Arnold helps her to shine more in her own life through the intellectual stimulation that comes from this relationship. In response Arnold knows that Maria's sunny personality stimulates him and that he is appreciated. Maria helps him to grow in his awareness of the world.

Arnold's Mercury Sesquisquare Maria's Venus Orb 1°56' Separating A positive blend of the personal planets of Mercury and Venus is a desirable one for an intimate union, and certainly advantageous to any association that requires harmony and collaboration. Therefore it is unfortunate that this combination is a difficult one. This association of planets indicates incompatibility in a relationship. No matter how hard Arnold and Maria try they find it hard to relax in each other's company. Disharmony seems to infiltrate their union at every turn. The problem is that Arnold and Maria simply cannot find any common ground for agreement. Their opinions and values clash, which makes any shared activities fraught with tension. In particular Maria feels that she is subjected to Arnold's unnecessary criticism. Maria feels unappreciated and lonely, unable to share warm and loving moment required in her relationship. On the other hand Arnold believes that he cannot express his opinions freely without being misunderstood. Arnold loses confidence in his communication abilities and possibly withdraws his attention from the relationship. The extent of the difficulties in this relationship depends on other aspects of Arnold and Maria's association. The positive side is that Arnold and Maria are attracted to each and can work towards improving their communication skills. In this way they may learn to value each other.

Arnold's Mercury Square Maria's Mars Orb 2°19' Separating A feisty relationship is the result of this combination of the planets Mercury and Mars. When Arnold and Maria are together the sparks fly. The nature of these sparks depends on other aspects of the relationship. On the one hand Arnold and Maria may be positively stimulated by each other's company, enjoying lively conversations and energetic activities. Both Arnold and Maria learn much from each other and may enjoy facing challenges together which in turn help them to move forward in their own lives. However, it is more likely that this combination indicates a combustive reaction when Arnold and Maria are together. The relationship is likely to be fraught with misunderstandings and angry reactions. In particular Maria is aggressive, perhaps even trying to bully Arnold to do things her way. Maria honestly believes that she knows what is right for Arnold and energetically sets about trying to achieve her goals. However, Arnold resents these tactics and becomes critical of everything that Maria does. There seems to be no middle ground and tempers are frayed. Arnold is usually able to have the last word, but Maria knows how to act in a way that is guaranteed to escalate any argument. Of course there is always the possibility that both Arnold and Maria enjoy the drama of this relationship. However, if this is not the case then the lesson is to learn to respect each other's differences and to channel all of the energy created by this partnership into positive activities and lively discussions.

http://www.cornerstone-astrology.com/astrology-shop/ Page 8

Arnold's Mercury Trine Maria's Saturn Orb 4°34' Applying This is an excellent combination for an enduring relationship. Both Arnold and Maria share a mutual respect for each other and are willing to work towards sound communication. They take each other seriously, and are likely to share an interest in a thought-provoking pastime or a business enterprise. Shared values also mean that this relationship has firm foundations for the long term. Arnold and Maria realise early in their association that this is a lasting union. Therefore it is likely that they slowly and surely get to know each other, rather than rushing headlong into a relationship. As a result they eventually form a strong bond. Arnold respects and learns from Maria's wisdom. He is better able to communicate his own thoughts and ideas thanks to Maria's well-received advice. Maria's organisational abilities shine in this relationship. She discovers different methods of approaching activities through her association with Arnold.

Arnold's Mercury Quincunx Maria's North Node Orb 0°10' Separating Good communication is the key to many successful relationships. However, this union between Arnold and Maria is fraught with misunderstandings. There is a strong bond, but it is likely to be intellectual rather than emotional. Perhaps Arnold and Maria have a common interest or friend, something that links them. Both Arnold and Maria believe that fate has played a hand in bringing them together, but there are obstacles strewn in their path. This connection has faulty wiring. They may hold different opinions on a variety of matters. Arnold and Maria spend much of their time together trying to sort out misapprehensions.

Venus Aspects

Arnold's Venus Square Maria's Mercury Orb 1°37' Applying A positive blend of the personal planets of Mercury and Venus is a desirable one for an intimate union, and certainly advantageous to any association that requires harmony and collaboration. Therefore it is unfortunate that this combination is a difficult one. This association of planets indicates incompatibility in a relationship. No matter how hard Maria and Arnold try they find it hard to relax in each other's company. Disharmony seems to infiltrate their union at every turn. The problem is that Maria and Arnold simply cannot find any common ground for agreement. Their opinions and values clash, which makes any shared activities fraught with tension. In particular Arnold feels that he is subjected to Maria's unnecessary criticism. Arnold feels unappreciated and lonely, unable to share warm and loving moment required in his relationship. On the other hand Maria believes that she cannot express his opinions freely without being misunderstood. Maria loses confidence in her communication abilities and possibly withdraws her attention from the relationship. The extent of the difficulties in this relationship depends on other aspects of Maria and Arnold's association. The positive side is that Maria and Arnold are attracted to each and can work towards improving their communication skills. In this way they may learn to value each other.

http://www.cornerstone-astrology.com/astrology-shop/ Page 9

Arnold's Venus Trine Maria's Venus Orb 4°43' Applying This is an ideal combination for a love relationship, providing the spark for an instant attraction. Ancient astrologers considered the planet Venus to have most beneficial effects and this could be seen clearly in relationship astrology. Both Arnold and Maria are attracted to each other, seeing the very best of himself or herself reflected in the other person. They enjoy each other's company, making the most of their joint interests. Arnold and Maria are likely to enjoy various pleasurable outings ranging from alfresco meals to visits to the theatre. As long as they are together they are happy. Arnold and Maria are in agreement on how their relationship should be approached e.g. the blend of freedom and closeness, intellect and emotion, personal time and social activities to name a few. This combination is most ideal for a long-lasting love relationship, indicating many years of happiness. It is also beneficial for a friendship in which both people can enjoy each other's company. Even so the friends need to respect other people's rights, otherwise there is a temptation for them to act like lovers when they are not, thus alienating their partners and other friends.

Arnold's Venus Trine Maria's Saturn Orb 3°45' Separating The planet Saturn is an important ingredient in any committed relationship. This sombre planet can take away some of the short-term excitement of any union, but on a positive note it adds commitment and security needed for a long-term association. In other words Arnold and Maria take this relationship seriously. They are devoted to each other and joyful in making promises that they are both able to keep. From the start of their association they enjoy taking their time getting to know each other, experiencing stability and understanding that grows slowly over time. They genuinely love each other and want to work towards a strong partnership. At times Arnold would like more fun and spontaneity, but he appreciates Maria's wisdom in slowing things down in order to build a lasting union. Mutual respect is a central theme to this union. There is also a strong feeling of fate in this relationship. Arnold and Maria may tell a story of how destiny meant for them to be together. While this combination of planets indicates a serious personal relationship, it can also be a positive influence on a partnership formed for the purpose of an artistic or creative project requiring both inspiration and hard work.

Arnold's Venus Conjunction Maria's Uranus Orb 5°58' Applying This combination of planets indicates an instant and vital magnetism. It is the type of attraction in which Arnold and Maria take one look at each other across a crowded room and feel the sparks. Romance is alight and the relationship develops at a rapid rate. Friends are amazed as the couple's union becomes more and more intense. In the short term this relationship provides fun, excitement and stimulation for both Arnold and Maria. The long- term scenario depends on other aspects of their relationship and the ability of both Arnold and Maria to respect each other's need for autonomy. It is all too easy for the initial flame to burn out of control. For this reason this combination of planets can be more prominent in relationships that contain the intrigue of a love affair, rather than the stability of a long-term union. Arnold feels particularly struck by Cupid's arrow, ignited by the very presence of Maria. He wants his love to be strong enough to keep the spark of excitement in the relationship. However, Maria is hard to pin down and is likely to become bored once the http://www.cornerstone-astrology.com/astrology-shop/ Page 10

initial excitement starts to fade unless she is given plenty of room to be independent. It may be difficult for Maria to make a commitment to this relationship unless she is given the freedom to inspire Arnold without feeling tied down to promises. A strong bond can be achieved if Arnold and Maria can find the right balance between intimacy and personal freedom. If this is achieved then they can both enjoy a long-term relationship full of joy and romance.

Arnold's Venus Square Maria's Neptune Orb 2°11' Applying This association of the planets Venus and Neptune indicates idyllic love. Arnold and Maria meet and fall deeply in love, fully appreciating each other's unique qualities. Romance abounds. Together Arnold and Maria feel that they have found true love such as only Romeo and Juliet and Daphnis and Chloe experienced. However, there are problems associated with this combination of planets. Arnold and Maria find that the initial idyllic love can start to prove illusory in the long term. As the relationship develops it becomes more difficult for them to escape from the demands of the mundane world into a world of romance. They become disillusioned. They would rather stay lost in a sea of blissful love than be reminded of the responsibilities of their separate lives. Both Arnold and Maria are vulnerable in this state of pretence. They need to be wary of circumstances or people who prey on their impressionable state. In particular they need to avoid any spiritual groups, drugs and artistic enterprises that may be deceptive in their nature. Once Arnold and Maria have learned to face their relationship honestly and with discrimination then they can enjoy a creative and loving partnership as well as artistic and spiritual pursuits.

Arnold's Venus Opposition Maria's Chiron Orb 4°13' Applying This combination of the planet Venus and the asteroid Chiron indicates a significant but difficult relationship. Arnold and Maria love each other, either as friends or lovers, but have difficulty avoiding misunderstandings and upsets. The problem is that their union is strongly influenced by childhood traumas. Present-day situations bring memories of previous painful experiences to the surface. Inadvertently Maria seems to upset Arnold's feelings. There is also a tendency for Maria to blame Arnold for all of his problems. Arnold needs to develop a strong sense of self-understanding in order that he can make a clear commitment to this relationship. Once committed, Arnold would be wise to ensure that his needs are met. In return Maria needs to develop a sensitive awareness of Arnold's emotional wounds. This sensitivity will serve her well in other situations. If the difficulties can be overcome, this union can bring a sense of freedom and joy.

Arnold's Venus Sextile Maria's Ascendant Orb 0°15' Separating It is significant in relationship astrology when one person's planet makes contact with the Ascendant in another person's chart. In this case Arnold's Venus is combining with Maria's Ascendant indicating that this is a significant personal relationship. Arnold and Maria feel strongly drawn to each other, experiencing a sense of completeness in each other's company. Arnold is in love with Maria, wanting to enjoy pleasurable activities and intimate moments. He appreciates the benefits that this union brings into his life. This relationship brings a wealth of benefits for Arnold. In turn Maria has a greater sense of well-being http://www.cornerstone-astrology.com/astrology-shop/ Page 11

through her association with Arnold. She appreciates Arnold's love of intimacy and his attitude to this union. Together they share a mutual respect and affection. While this combination is most likely to indicate an intimate love union, it can also augur well for friendships, family relationship and work associations.

Mars Aspects

Arnold's Mars Trine Maria's Mars Orb 4°22' Separating This is a feisty relationship full of healthy competition and possibly sexual frisson. In this association both Arnold and Maria are challenged to produce their best efforts. They feel the sparks fly when they are together, bringing out an ambitious side to both their natures. As friends or work colleagues they enjoy the rivalry, and it is always possible that their shared drive and energy could become sexual, tipping their relationship into a love affair. Arnold and Maria enjoy energetic activities such as sports and outdoor games. Together they feel able to conquer the world and overcome all obstacles in their path. Depending on other aspects of their relationship Arnold and Maria may be lovers or friends, but this strong influence of the planet Mars can also indicate a work partnership that requires plenty of drive and initiative.

Arnold's Mars Quincunx Maria's Saturn Orb 2°30' Applying This combination of the planets Mars and Saturn suggests a strong commitment in which Arnold and Maria struggle to understand each other. On the one hand both Arnold and Maria are committed to making this partnership work. On the other hand they face almost insurmountable difficulties along the way. Ancient astrologers consider the planets Mars and Saturn to have a harmful effect on humanity. Therefore this relationship is in grave danger of causing emotional or physical damage to both Arnold and Maria. The trouble is that they are both determined to force their own egos on to each other, and can be quite brutal in their efforts to get the other person to do as they wish. They lack understanding and respect for each other. Arnold tries to force his methods on to Maria, only to meet Maria's stubborn refusal to budge on certain matters. The challenge is a big one in this union. Both Arnold and Maria need to carefully consider the future of this relationship, knowing that only mutual respect and caring communication can shine a light on their difficulties.

Arnold's Mars Opposition Maria's North Node Orb 2°14' Separating The fiery planet Mars and the fateful North Node provides a powerful combination of forces. Arnold and Maria are dynamite together. This can be positive in that together they can achieve their goals. However this union can also be a threat to their life goals if they allow their desires to take over. In some cases this union could threaten either Arnold or Maria's safety. Violence, and violent situations, need to be avoided at all times. Passion may be a driving force in this liaison. Both Arnold and Maria feel a strong attraction. A personal relationship may be fraught with difficulties. This combination may be better used in a http://www.cornerstone-astrology.com/astrology-shop/ Page 12 partnership that works on an energetic, demanding or physically powerful project - one that involves plenty of hard work and challenges.

Jupiter Aspects

Arnold's Jupiter Square Maria's Moon Orb 3°33' Separating Although there can be some difficulties with this combination, on the whole this is a positive combination. Maria and Arnold enjoy each other's company and feel a certain zest for life when together. Maria and Arnold share a need for fun-filled adventures and the capability of achieving their goals. They both feel that the world is their oyster which is ready to explore together. This can include holidays in far-away places, adventure travel and also encompasses any activity which expands their minds and views of life. This is a meeting of higher-minds. Maria feels that Arnold expands her horizons. Maria feels safe and appreciated in this relationship. Arnold knows that Maria is a comrade in arms when it comes to fun and adventure. Arnold knows that he is truly appreciated for his generosity and optimism. Together Maria and Arnold can conquer the world. Nothing seems too far- fetched. And this is where problems can lie. It is possible that neither Maria nor Arnold know when enough is enough. There is a saying that 'you can have too much of a good thing'. This is one of the underlying problems of this association. Maria and Arnold need to make sure that they do not become too grandiose in their dreams. Overinflated ideas of their capabilities are not helpful and can lead both Maria and Arnold into troubled waters. Another complication can arise if Maria and Arnold do not share the same values, because morals and beliefs play an important role in this relationship. However, if Maria and Arnold share the same beliefs and can exercise some restraint this can be a positive combination for a long-term relationship.

Arnold's Jupiter Conjunction Maria's Sun Orb 4°13' Separating The Sun and the favourable planet Jupiter are combining suggesting that this relationship is blessed with good fortune and happiness. It is an ideal combination for an intimate relationship such as marriage because it indicates shared philosophies on life and the ability to grow together. Together Maria and Arnold land on their feet no matter how difficult a situation. They seem destined to be in the right place at the right time. Maria and Arnold enjoy each other's company, feeling all of the benefits that come with this union. Their optimism and enthusiasm are infectious, and as a couple they are popular. In particular Maria shines as a result of her association with Arnold. Maria feels able to embrace life and all it has to offer. She is aware that her union with Arnold is truly blessed and that it helps her to achieve her full potential. Arnold knows that his horizons are continually expanding through his association with Maria. Arnold feels able to conquer the world. In fact it is likely that both Maria and Arnold enjoy travelling, studying or teaching together. They enjoy sharing anything that expands their minds and contributes positively to their lives.

http://www.cornerstone-astrology.com/astrology-shop/ Page 13

Arnold's Jupiter Conjunction Maria's Saturn Orb 4°37' Applying A strong bond is formed as a result of this combination of the planets Jupiter and Saturn, in which both Arnold and Maria learn a great deal from each other. In many ways Arnold and Maria take an opposing approach to their relationship. Arnold is more adventurous, keen to explore new territories. He takes a somewhat philosophical approach to this relationship. On the other hand Maria is cautious, often taking a slower and more practical outlook. Fortunately they enjoy these opposing qualities, finding equilibrium in their relationship. Maria finds her day enlivened by Arnold's personality. In turn Arnold enjoys having a stable and patient companion to bounce his ideas off. Maria learns much from Arnold's wisdom, gaining a greater understanding of her own nature. Together Arnold and Maria can achieve much success in either their personal lives or a joint project.

Saturn Aspects

Arnold's Saturn Conjunction Maria's Moon Orb 2°51' Applying A connection between the planet Saturn and the Moon is important. Saturn is the planet of commitment and stability and is often found in relationships that are long lasting. In other words a serious planet such as Saturn is needed for a serious, meaningful union. Maria and Arnold are satisfied with the relationship and are willing to persist through troubled times realising that the rewards are great. A satisfying long-term relationship results from their patience and persistence. Together Maria and Arnold are somewhat reserved, perhaps even withdrawing a little from society to enjoy the benefits of their relationship. They are aware that their relationship is one of the most important building blocks in their lives. There is a certain maturity in this relationship. Perhaps Maria and Arnold have formed this relationship later in life when they can truly appreciate each other and the life that they are building together. Maria feels that Arnold is offering security and maturity, enabling her to mature in her emotional and home life. Arnold grows in self-esteem through this relationship, believing that Maria respects his integrity. On the whole this is a positive combination for an enduring, long-term relationship such as marriage.

Arnold's Saturn Square Maria's Sun Orb 2°10' Applying Many astrologers believe that a connection between the serious planet Saturn and a personal planet such as the Sun is important, providing the cement for a long-lasting relationship. In other words, a serious planet is needed for a serious, meaningful union such as marriage. It is certainly true that the combination of the Sun and Saturn is found in many meaningful relationships. However, the planet Saturn can also cause problems. Certainly this combination indicates that Maria and Arnold both view this as a serious association, whether it is a marriage, friendship or a working partnership. Both Maria and Arnold are committed to their association. It is likely that they experienced a strong attraction in the initial stages of their relationship. When Maria and Arnold first met they each knew they had discovered a potential serious relationship, one to which they could commit and build on over a lifetime. If they believe in reincarnation, then it is likely that they felt a karmic http://www.cornerstone-astrology.com/astrology-shop/ Page 14

attraction when they first met. Perhaps this was a moment of recognition when they first looked into the other person's eyes. However, the very qualities, which they seriously considered as attractive in the initial stages of the relationship, can become the source of friction if they are not careful. In particular, Arnold needs to be wary of becoming too critical and judgmental. Initially Arnold found Maria's personality traits to be worthy of a committed union. He admired Maria's qualities as complementing his own. However, it is easy for Arnold to forget this attraction. As the relationship develops he feels threatened by the force of Maria's personality and takes a superior attitude in defence. As a result Maria feels threatened, disliking the authoritarian side of Arnold. If Maria is not careful her self- confidence is whittled away and the relationship becomes onerous. It is vital that both Maria and Arnold work at developing a stable basis for communication and understanding in this relationship. If both Maria and Arnold work at maintaining their own self-confidence as well as mutual respect then they have the makings for a very successful marriage or working relationship. Much of their success may depend on other supportive, positive connections between them.

Arnold's Saturn Trine Maria's North Node Orb 6°16' Applying The planet Saturn is a vital ingredient in relationship astrology. It is the planet that represents stability and commitment and is seen by astrologers as the necessary glue that holds a relationship together on a long-term basis. Of course not everyone is seeking long- term commitment, but for those who are Saturn is a welcome sign. This is particularly true of connections between one person's Saturn and another person's Sun, Moon, Ascendant or Nodes. In this case Arnold's Saturn is combining with Maria's Node indicating that this is a significant relationship. Arnold and Maria feel strongly drawn to each other, perhaps experiencing a sense that their relationship was written in the stars. In other words they may feel as though they were destined to meet and form a union. This is a significant relationship.

Uranus Aspects

Arnold's Uranus Trine Maria's Mercury Orb 3°29' Applying This is an exciting and unpredictable relationship. Maria and Arnold enjoy a lively union, whether it be a romance, friendship or work association. They take pleasure in topical conversations, sparking new ideas and ways of thinking. They may also enjoy taking part in an unusual activity or pursuing an environmental, humanitarian or political cause. This combination of planets indicates intellectual, rather than emotional, stimulation. Consequently this combination may indicate a friendship or work association, rather than a more personal union. However, an intimate relationship with other aspects is enhanced by this combination if both partners enjoy freedom. Maria and Arnold are excited by each other's minds. In particular Maria realises that Arnold sparks her creativity. Both Maria and Arnold enjoy a new-found sense of freedom in each other's company.

Arnold's Uranus Quincunx Maria's Saturn Orb 1°52' Separating This is a difficult combination of planets in relationship astrology indicating an imbalance between commitment and freedom. On the one hand Maria and Arnold feel drawn to each other, seeing qualities in each other that they feel they lack themselves. Maria and Arnold believe that they will learn from being together. On the other hand; however, tension soon results as they fail to reconcile their differences. Maria is likely to take a more serious approach to this union, feeling the need for a strong bond. However, Arnold is hard to pin down, preferring the freedom of non-commitment. Arnold wants to initiate change and growth even though Maria is likely to resist. It is possible that Maria becomes frustrated and tries to control Arnold's behaviour. Maria may even resort to criticism which ultimately only undermines Arnold's creative impulses and self-confidence. If this happens Arnold is likely to rebel and leave the relationship. Both Maria and Arnold need to strive for a balance between commitment to each other and independence.

Arnold's Uranus Trine Maria's Neptune Orb 4°04' Applying This combination of the planets Uranus and Neptune is not a major contribution to this relationship. However, it is likely that life can be approached in a new and imaginative fashion for Arnold and Maria as a result of this union. Together they stimulate growth and change in each other. Arnold is particularly interested in keeping this association fresh and alive. He finds Maria's ideas and opinions intellectually stimulating, prompting his own creative ideas and shared activities. Maria's imagination is more to the fore in this relationship. She is able to express a more intuitive side of herself. Together Arnold and Maria share insights and this encourages their ingenuity.

Arnold's Uranus Sextile Maria's Pluto Orb 3°58' Applying Although not a major contributor to this relationship, the combination of the planets Uranus and Pluto indicates common values. A drive for growth and change is at the basis of this relationship. Arnold and Maria complement each other whenever they join forces. Arnold is likely to be the one who seeks answers and innovative ways of approaching tasks while Maria provides the answers after delving into her own personal resources.

Neptune Aspects

Arnold's Neptune Conjunction Maria's Mars Orb 7°16' Applying The glue that holds Maria and Arnold together is a focus on a joint artistic, spiritual or philanthropic cause, a shared idyll of how to make the world a better place. Together they share many dreams of how to improve their lives, their environment and the world at large. They are a creative duo, never short of ideas and with the ability to inspire. Depending on other aspects of their personalities they may or may not have the stability and endurance to create something concrete. Maria is likely to be the leader, the person with the drive which enables them to achieve these dreams. Arnold is the creative ideas person who inspires http://www.cornerstone-astrology.com/astrology-shop/ Page 16

Maria. If Maria and Arnold fail to share a common dream, then this relationship is likely to lack direction and Maria and Arnold slowly drift apart. They have difficulty maintaining a momentum necessary for a long-term bond. For this reason this combination of planets may indicate a relationship based on a shared project or past-time rather than an intimate lovers' bond. For instance Maria and Arnold may share a friendship, enjoying martial arts as a shared activity.

Arnold's Neptune Semisquare Maria's Saturn Orb 0°50' Separating The planet Saturn is a vital ingredient in relationship astrology. It is the planet that represents stability and commitment and is seen by astrologers as the necessary glue that holds a relationship together on a long-term basis. Of course not everyone is seeking long- term commitment, but for those who are Saturn is a welcome sign. In this case, however, the planet Neptune negates some of the influence of Saturn. The planet Neptune is one that dissolves and confuses matters. So on the one hand Maria and Arnold feel strongly drawn to each other, but on the other hand they have difficulty maintaining a meaningful relationship. At first Maria and Arnold may experience a feeling that their relationship was written in the stars. In other words they may feel as though they were destined to meet and form a union. This could be a personal relationship or a friendship that involves a spiritual, artistic or philanthropic project. Whatever the form of their relationship, Maria and Arnold initially enjoy a meaningful bond. The difficulty lies in the long term. Maria and Arnold begin to feel that they are pulling in opposite directions. They need to respect each other's differences in order for the relationship to succeed in the long term. Of course they may both agree that their union was destined to be for a short period only.

Pluto Aspects

Arnold's Pluto Conjunction Maria's Moon Orb 1°40' Applying This is an intense and powerful relationship. Maria and Arnold feel a strong attraction to each other, one that seems to constantly draw them together. Sexual attraction may be powerful. Maria's and Arnold's deep feelings for each other need to be nurtured in a loving manner in order for the union to be long lasting. This relationship can be a positive or a negative experience, depending on how Maria and Arnold handle intense feelings. Some individuals thrive on intensity, while others feel threatened and powerless. Maria is likely to feel that Arnold has transformed her life in some way. It's possible that Arnold has changed the way that Maria feels about the world, making her conscious of things that have been bubbling under the surface for a long time. Life is not the same for Maria once she encounters Arnold. Maria is able to see through the explosive behaviour to the true heart of Arnold and to nurture Arnold's goodness in ways that he has not previously encountered. As a result Arnold deeply appreciates the emotional support offered by Maria. This is indeed a passionate union.

Arnold's Pluto Square Maria's Sun Orb 1°00' Applying This combination of planets indicates a relationship that is life changing, whether it be a friendship, love union or work association. Both Maria and Arnold feel a powerful attraction for each other in the initial stages of the relationship. It is as if they are both compelled to relate, perhaps even in response to strong opposition from outside sources. Once the exciting first stages of the union have passed, it is likely that both Maria and Arnold become embroiled in a struggle for dominance. There is no longer an impetus for change and the challenge has become wearisome. Now Maria and Arnold's relationship resembles a battleground in which both try to change the other. It is possible that these battles become emotionally abusive, perhaps even violent. It is important for both Maria and Arnold to avoid senseless battles from which neither emerges triumphant. Money may be at the root of the problems, or it could be that sexual matters are a key theme in this relationship. Either way it is likely that Maria feels overwhelmed by this union to the point where she suffers from low self-esteem. There could be a tendency for Arnold to try to bully Maria that may only make matters worse. Maria is faced with the challenge of delving deep into her personal resources to find a sense of self-value. Arnold is a powerful force in this union and needs to learn how to use his power wisely.

Arnold's Pluto Sextile Maria's Mars Orb 2°57' Applying This combination of the stormy planets Mars and Pluto indicates a passionate and compelling union. The atmosphere is explosive when Maria and Arnold get together. Sexual energy seems to simmer barely under control. Both Maria and Arnold need to be wary of letting the force of their heated emotions build up. They need a positive outlet for all of their pent-up energy whether this be a challenging home renovation project or a regular work-out at the gym. Together Maria and Arnold feel able to conquer the world and are certainly a power to be reckoned with. The initial stages of the relationship are fraught with sexual tension, but the union may not be an intimate one. Rather it may be a partnership committed to hard work and a challenging project. Either way as the relationship develops, the strong and creative force of both Maria and Arnold takes over and can be directed into a mutually-satisfying project. In other words Maria and Arnold can be passionate about each other or they can direct their passion into an external activity. Either way this is a dynamic and explosive relationship.

The challenge for Maria and Arnold is to forgive and forget loved ones, who have hurt them in the past so that they can move forward in their lives. Maria may force radical changes in Arnold's life, which are initially painful but eventually prove healing in certain ways. Arnold's insecurities may prompt Maria to re-evaluate her commitments to the relationship. The success of this relationship will largely depend on other aspects of Maria and Arnold's union.

Maria and Arnold have a romantic and empathetic relationship, in which they both place importance on gentle and loving communication. As a result they are able to forgive and forget loved ones who have hurt them in the past, and move slowly towards a better understanding of their innermost selves and each other.

Together they may take part in a spiritual, healing or artistic project.

Arnold's Chiron Square Maria's Chiron Orb 2°26' Separating The asteroid Chiron is not a major influence on this relationship. However, it could indicate a difference in values.

North Node Aspects

Arnold's North Node Quincunx Maria's Mercury Orb 2°33' Applying Good communication is the key to many successful relationships. However, this union between Maria and Arnold is fraught with misunderstandings. There is a strong bond, but it is likely to be intellectual rather than emotional. Perhaps Maria and Arnold have a common interest or friend, something that links them. Both Maria and Arnold believe that fate has played a hand in bringing them together, but there are obstacles strewn in their path. This connection has faulty wiring.
