 Dear friends:

Welcome to the Compatibility and Conflict Report for Business and Friendship and the myriad ways of expressing the continual dance of relationship. This report is based on methods employed through years of working with relationships of all kinds, observing them and analyzing the lives of the famous and infamous. The contacts described in this program are certainly not all the combinations possible between two individuals. But they are the core patterns of relationship analysis that I begin with in determining areas of compatibility and potential conflict between individuals. These basic points of contact are analyzed to arrive at an interpretation of what is central for a strong relationship or for one that teaches something of importance and leaves a lasting impression.

In many of the interpretations, I've described the highest potential that one can strive for with a particular combination. Yet this is only a potential and being human we have complex emotions and contradictory issues and reactions at any given time in our lives. Use this report as a guide to make your relationships as rewarding and fulfilling as you possibly can while knowing that your relationships are simply mirroring your own soul's struggles. Each relationship will fulfill something within you and challenge you to look at your shadow and transform yourself. Sometimes this means staying in a relationship and sometimes the learning process requires that you let the relationship go. These decisions are never easy and they should only be made after careful and truthful introspection, reflection and guidance. But ultimately, these decisions are yours and yours alone to make. Remember that although you may have some difficult areas of relating with a particular person, it is in those areas that you can learn the most about yourself and others and grow in wisdom. It would be a mistake to look for a business partner or friend with whom you have no disagreements at all and this kind of relationship is a fantasy, rarely if ever, a reality.

Thank you for purchasing the report and I hope it is meaningful and useful to you.

Special thanks to John Flagg for unflagging editorial support.

To the mystery and magic of relationship chemistry, Dorothy Oja Copyright 2002

This section is based on the idea that there are three basic needs in every relationship:

Interest, energy and stimulation.

Enjoyment, abundance, expansion of awareness/possibilities and sense of contentment or happiness.

Commitment, consistency, teaching each other, sharing values or reaffirming/confirming something essential in each other.

The sort between your charts is for eleven separate aspects that define energy, fun and lasting impressions between you. Most strong relationships have at least four to six of these aspects between their charts.

Core Themes: A challenging aspect of the Sun and Moon between you can initially attract or repel or both. The outcome depends on other planetary connections between your charts. Respect and recognition of each other's essential personality is vital with this combination. Your approach and attitude toward life or some of your habitual patterns will be very different from the other person's. Sometimes these aspects indicate a lack of appreciation for the life view, habits or patterns of the other. Lack of appreciation or respect will quickly erode the relationship you wish to forge. This aspect can indicate that, on a regular basis, you'll need space away from each other or to get away from shared projects you are working on. Then, when you get together again, each of you will appreciate what the other can offer and bring plenty of new experiences or ideas into the mix.

As you get to know each other, you may find that you disagree on some important or basic issues concerning your work or a project. Initially, this will produce conflict but it also offers you the opportunity to understand something more about your business associate and subsequently yourself. Do not minimize or belittle the other's strong feelings or opinions. Learn instead to allow each other to have your say and find ways to strike a compromise. If one of you always gives in to the wishes or demands of the other conflict will ensue. Of course, you cannot expect to agree at all times, but you can learn to tolerate a style or strengths in the other that are different from your own. These differences can in fact complement your business relationship. There will be times when you feel that the two of you are going in opposing directions or that you just rub each other the wrong way. This may in fact be true but it allows you the opportunity to talk about what each of you want and how you can find common ground.

Core Themes: This aspect indicates a challenge to act and to become. It encourages the start of something new, taking pioneering steps or being initiated into some latent aspect of yourself. There is an insistent, even impulsive energy generated when you are together. You will feel stimulated or even compelled in some important way. Participating in some sport or physically active project can alleviate any excess build up of energy that is generated when you are together. Setting mutual goals for what you want and planning how you will achieve those goals will address the need to take action that this aspect implies. These energies between you want progress and forward momentum, so be sure to provide and maintain new initiatives and a good dose of excitement. Your relationship will have a physical and/or active, energetic quality. This combination can bring up competitive drives, more so than you've felt with others. This can be a boon or it can cause a power struggle in the relationship.

You probably felt an instantaneous attraction to the qualities in each other. At the very least you were obviously aware of each other's energy and, in some cases, may even have felt threatened or that your personal space was being invaded. If you team up, this combination will fuel your goals and encourage progress. As a matter of fact, the energies you stir up together insist on forward momentum. At the same time, it can spark competition, which can sometimes be healthy and sometimes not. You two can make great strides together due to the sheer impetus and movement of these energies. You can stimulate each other and drive each other to new heights of achievement. However, there will be times when your desire to outdo each other can be irritating. Be aware that a selfish or self-serving attitude can develop if not checked early. Each of you responds actively to the initiatives of the other. You can motivate each other to achieve more. If your desire to motivate or take action crosses the line and becomes controlling, that's when you'll have trouble. No one wants to be controlled. You'll have to negotiate who will take the lead in a particular area or project. When properly harnessed, as a team you are the movers and shakers.

Core Themes: You feel more energized, even exhilarated when you are in each other's company. In fact, the intent of this aspect is to activate your moods and stimulate new feelings in each of you. Perhaps, even feelings you have never felt before or not felt in a long time. There is always likely to be a charge of energy between you and, you have a way of reaching each other on a deeply emotional level. There is a healthy, normal tendency to confront issues that arise between you. Resolving conflict will be easier to handle with this aspect.

Because you generate energy when you are together, the two of you can be counted upon to take action or be in the lead, especially when you are part of a team or group. In fact, you may be involved in social causes or any project where goal setting and forward progress are necessary. Although there is a marvelous, naturally occurring energy between you, don't allow habit to make it dull. Be sure to plan new projects together to regenerate and rejuvenate your business relationship. With a bit of conscious awareness, this aspect is excellent for trading new ideas and enhancing any partnership projects. You will both encourage an atmosphere of aliveness and vitality when you are together. The expression of emotion between you is typically direct or candid and in that way describes a healthy release of emotions. Beyond the work you commit yourselves to, there's more than enough fun and laughter.

Core Themes: This aspect indicates that there's seriousness about each other and the quality of your relationship. One meaning of this combination is that you have some important work to accomplish together and you could even go into business together, otherwise conduct business or use each other's services. You are likely to feel a strong commitment and bond with each other that resonates with your own root values. The intent of this aspect is to increase a sense of respectfulness and to develop or reaffirm standards of integrity.

A serious tone, a sense of responsibility, comes into play between you when you are together. This can be positive or it can put a damper on things, depending on what each of you wants from the other. There is a mutual urge for establishing a solid commitment or at least creating rules of engagement for your association or business relationship. Discussions of finances will likely arise early in the relationship. This partnership works best if there are clear structures that both of you agree upon. Important issues in your alliance concern responsibility, accountability, maintaining integrity, timeliness and keeping promises. It's also possible that you may become involved in a certain amount of stabilization, growing a business plan or directing others. As a team, others view you as firm, reliable and dependable. You may be sought out for advice and counsel because others find you responsible or even wise.

Core Themes: The intent of this aspect is to have you experience large doses of good fortune, joy, exuberance, adventure, opportunity and optimism. Your lives will open up and expand as a result of your relationship. There is a distinct desire for comfort and ease but, if not balanced well, this can lead to laziness or procrastination. The challenge in this aspect is to maintain the health of both the mind and body. There's an inclination to take a philosophical attitude toward life experiences and to gain from life's richness and variety.

There is a philanthropic quality to your business association. Together, you are willing to do things in a big way and take risks in the process. As business associates you will enhance and benefit each other. Goodwill and positive thinking, provided that you've done your homework and accepted the consequences, will bring you many wonderful experiences and praise from others. Because it will be easy for you to give of yourselves or your resources, you will need to choose carefully. Overextending yourselves is a real problem and can easily cause your optimism to crash. Boredom is anathema, and so both of you will have your antennae out for the next project to tackle. A regular amount of physical activity is vital and will keep you healthy and your ideas prolific.

Core Themes: The intent of this aspect is to stimulate emotional satisfaction and a generous, openhearted disposition. The attributes of joy, hope, good will and a sense of adventure are highlighted. Feelings of expansiveness can easily induce you to overdo and overextend yourselves in various ways. You are likely to stimulate a wealth of feelings in each other and a generally open-minded attitude. The good life beckons with all that this implies. Abundance or excessiveness is part of this aspect, which is certainly not always a negative. It's up to the two of you to decide how far to reach and how far to extend yourselves. Your enthusiasm will open doors and create opportunities.

On a business level, this combination is essentially a positive influence of opportunities and expressions of generosity. Entrepreneurship and visionary activities are favored, and you will generally be blessed with good fortune. As a team, you can be a beacon of encouragement, hope and good will wherever you go. Your most important lesson is balance and wise choices that not only create enhancements but also maintain a level of stability. Looking on the upside is easy, but be sure to consider the downside and the consequences of your risk-taking and expansion. Make certain you can afford it energetically, emotionally, spiritually or financially. Look for a strong grounding aspect between your charts to counterbalance the overly optimistic tendency of this aspect. Take the necessary time to assess expectations, which may be unrealistic. Then again, the two of you can break records and surpass goals by the sheer force of your positive vision and willingness to expand and try something new.

Core Themes: This is an energizing aspect at times stimulating or disconcerting in its directness. It initiates a greater awareness of who you are in relation to people and situations around you. The intent of this aspect is to fire up your energies and galvanizes your self-assertive capabilities. It encourages self-understanding, initiation and self-protection if necessary.

You will quickly sense the excitement and at times the tension this aspect produces. Make use of these energies by channeling them into a challenging project. This aspect loves a strong challenge. Each of you will feel that your awareness is raised a notch by your association with the other. And then there could be times when you feel that your business partner is being too aggressive or pushy. You will have to learn to push back, maintain the boundaries comfortable for you and let your partner know when the action is out of line or inappropriate. This aspect is prone to argumentativeness, so it would behoove you to establish some rules in advance for those inevitable times of conflict. You can use up the high energy generated by being project leaders in a mutual endeavor. If you disagree about how to initiate or proceed, then learn to take turns, so that each of you gets to do it your own way at least some of the time. Having independent projects will also alleviate the tension of your differing styles and approaches to situations.

The following aspects detail the quality of your emotional connection, your basic level of comfort and your ease or difficulty in communicating, and discussing emotions and simply understanding where each of you is coming from. Additionally, these aspects help describe how you reason together and resolve issues or problems.

Core Themes: Dissimilar emotional needs are indicated and to some extent different dispositions. Some of each other's daily habits can be annoying or irritating, making sharing the same physical spaces for long periods of time more difficult. In matters of timing, it is likely that, occasionally, you will be on a different page than your partner and operate on another timing pattern. The intent of this aspect is to find your way to emotional understanding despite different sensibilities and to respect the feelings of the other person although unlike your own.

Although you are fond of each other on many levels, your basic day-to-day habits are probably very different. You approach life's mundane chores and happenings in ways that may not be clearly understood by your partner. Your feelings and responses can sometimes be confusing for the other person as much as they like you and want to understand. This can cause not only friction but also frustration on a regular basis in the course of working together. Your habits and peculiarities can grate on each other and be the cause of arguments and misunderstandings. If you need to work together, it behooves you to practice patience and show willingness to compromise so as to resolve some of these differences. This aspect definitely requires more tolerance and acceptance, to allow for differences in mood and reaction. You have attracted this combination because of your own need to dig deeper into your habitual ways of responding and to search out the roots of your behavior by exploring your upbringing. There are many things you do that are unconscious and automatic, and contact with your partner will allow you to take a closer look, modify the negatives and also reaffirm your strongest feelings.

Core Themes: Shared perspectives or styles of problem solving, even communicating, are the hallmark of this aspect. The intent of this energy combination is to facilitate communication, speaking, reasoning and so forth, in order to swiftly and creatively resolve issues, find solutions to problems that arise and create original ideas.

There are many different ways to communicate and the two of you seem to be on the same wavelength most of the time. In other words, your business partner or associate understands and responds well to your style and method of reasoning, thinking and expressing your thoughts and ideas. You usually have the benefit of making yourselves understood the first time, without rehashing and reiterating endlessly. Of course, you won't agree on everything all of the time, but coming to agreement on issues important to you or perceiving what the other wants to communicate will be easier. Your styles of intelligence are also similar and your preferences for mental stimulation could be the same. Teamwork is favored because when you put your heads together, you're more likely to arrive at a creative solution you can both live with than either of you could accomplish separately.

These aspects explain how you meet each other's needs in important business or friendship partnerships. These aspects are based on what your natal chart describes that you're looking for in any major one-on-one relationship interaction.

Core Themes: The intent of this combination of energies is to encourage you to set goals and act on them. You will spur each other to achieve and progress further along your chosen path. This aspect challenges your motivation.

This stimulating aspect contributes to restlessness and to a strong competitive streak. Impatience or a combatitive attitude will occasionally arise and you'll need to learn how to handle upsets or anger in your association. In your various encounters with business and the world, you are likely to be among the first to act rather than the last. It's important that you catch the distinction of taking on the challenges of life rather than battling with each other. It's always better to join forces instead of going it alone. The two of you can go far and at a fairly fast clip. Motivation and energy are strong. Make sure you prearrange who will lead in a particular area of your business partnership. Tempers tend to flare quickly but can subside just a quickly. The positive side to this aspect between you is directness. You will never have to wonder what your partner is thinking because they are much too likely to tell you whenever there is a problem. For the most part, that is a refreshing attitude.

Core Themes: The intent of the aspect is to show you the farther reaches of life and what's possible, should you choose to accept the options. This combination brings joy and an expansive energy of generosity and opportunity. Thirst for adventure and learning, even increased risk-taking, is accentuated. Wisdom is a key value embedded in this aspect.

You'll want to think big and because of this, take bigger risks. One of you may initially balk until the other has proven the ability to call the play and win the day. You will find wisdom in the most unlikely places and possibly after making some bad judgment calls. Still, this aspect provides a silver lining and a measure of protection that some call "luck". Consider yourselves blessed in many ways as a result of your partnering. There is, however, a danger of overdoing and of overextending yourselves, as well as a tendency to grandiosity. Not that doing things in a big way is essentially a bad thing, as long as it is appropriate to the situation and your available resources. And you're the only ones who can decide that. New doors will open as a result of merging your energies, and you will learn the finer points of risk-taking. Beyond all that, this aspect encourages you to have work you truly enjoy.

Core Themes: The intent of this aspect is to encourage and support your freedom to be yourself, to think and act freely and be protective of your human rights and those of others as much and as often as you can.

You will want to revise and modernize any business you are involved with. You will enjoy being the innovative leaders, the avant-garde team or on the cutting edge of technology. You will not be content to be run of the mill or ordinary. You did not come together to do it like everybody else. A life that conforms to your own rules rather than blindly acquiescing to those imposed by society, your ethnicity or culture, is much more to your liking. The two of you will decide what truths you want to live by and you will resist conforming. Your interest in formulating original opinions and conclusions will likely lead to many a creative adventure. This is probably exactly what you had in mind. Expect some controversy to be a part of your lives. Your desire for the freedom to live a self-actualized life extends to friendships or involvement with community service, where you can easily be proponents of basic human rights. At times, you will shock each other and the circle of friends you travel in with your ideas or actions. Make sure that you are rebels with a good cause or else you will quickly be written off. You are catalysts for each other, and the independent spirit coursing through your relationship can cause breaks in relations if not handled carefully.

Core Themes: The intent of this aspect is to spark each of you to express your individuality fully and yet find ways to balance a strong and generous relationship. You will find lots of common ground together both in your outlook and perception of life and in the way you interact with it and with others.

Together, you affirm each other's personality and basic style and you are highly motivated to find harmony in your business relationship. Unless one of you always wants to lead or be right, this can serve as a reinforcing aspect. You will no doubt feel the strong impact you have on each other's lives and you will want to translate that impact into projects you lead as a team. Although you won't always agree, you will stimulate each other to assess your direction, goals and lifestyle, one way or the other.

Core Themes: The intent of this aspect is to encourage the free pursuit of whatever goal is most important, and to lend support to the process of individual initiative. The aspect promotes action and progressive involvement in life.

Your relationship will be focused on achievement, self-development and organizing your goals. The extent to which you can accomplish these depends on your ability to keep your egos in check and replace them with generosity and good will so that each of you can reach your goals. Instead of one person always leading or taking center stage, why not take turns focusing both of your energies on one person's pet project at a time? This way you'll have the best of both of you directed at the same point at the same time. Strengthening and building self-expression and achieving your goals are themes that will be important in your business partnership. A pat on the back and recognition for initiative or work well done is crucial to continued achievement. There could at times be competition between you, however, especially if you are pursuing the same goal. Learn to team up and join forces rather than fight each other. It is so much more productive and a better use of your time and energy.

Core Themes: The intent of this aspect is to help you separate true intuition from avoidance or from the blind spots you harbor as you go about your life tasks and experiences. Sensitivity and compassion and how you use or apply them are another theme of this aspect.

You can support each other's dreams and goals with inspiration and by expressing your belief and trust in the project's worthiness or by pointing out obvious flaws and offering a solution. It's also possible that you stimulate each other's weak spots. Because of this, it will be your responsibility not to take unfair advantage but instead inspire your business associate as often as you can. Sensitivity to each other's feelings of insecurity or performance anxieties will do much to control the expression of these feelings. Finding the best way to structure a project for each person's comfort zone will also alleviate many problems. Attempting to fit a square peg into a round hole never works, and this has to be acknowledged. Of course, you can't tolerate sloppiness or shoddy work, but appreciation and understanding will alleviate some of the surface symptoms of insecurity. Being clear about each of your roles and leaving nothing to the imagination or in a state of unclarity will alleviate confusion and misunderstanding.

Core Themes: The intent of this aspect is to motivate you to set goals and to take real steps toward achieving them by expressing who you are and what you want and by connecting with others in an open and confident way.

You'll motivate each other toward the pursuit of goals and be ready to act right away. Be aware that the energy between you is fast and means that you say or do things without always thinking of the effect upon your business partner and your relationship. Too much thoughtlessness or selfishness will damage your long-term relationship. In your business circle or group, the two of you are likely to be among the movers and the shakers, encouraging others to take part in whatever activity or project needs to happen. Being together will stimulate each of you to assert who you are and express yourselves more fully than you have done previously. There's a bit of competitiveness that is just enough to keep you both on alert. Impatience can be an issue, so just make sure that you have enough projects to keep you both busy and out of trouble.

This section interprets the closest connections between your charts. The wisdom of this section says that the closest aspects explain the major or central themes of your relationship and the reason you have come together. The nature of these aspects will also define the main activities, interests and patterns that affect your relationship life together.

Notice that, in this section, each paragraph contains both the easier expression of energies and the more challenging ones. Both interpretations are included because these close connections pertain to the central learning curve of your relationship. Based on the premise that the more exact the connection (also the closest energetic contact) between your pair of planets, the more psychologically significant the aspect will be for each of you. This means that you are likely to be strongly influenced by each other in the areas described. Because of this, it will be useful to consider both the easier and more challenging interpretations even though you lead with one of them. You will, from time to time and in various circumstances, probably exhibit some elements of each interpretation, both the easier expressions as well as the more challenging ones. Another thing - it's possible with both types of aspects that you will have the same challenges but simply respond or react to them in different ways. The goal is to rise to the best possible expression of each combination. This is the learning curve and this bestows the necessary wisdom to develop your relationship.

Core Themes: If this is the most exact aspect between your charts, your relationship themes revolve around your separate and mutual identities, your primary goals and objectives, how you initiate action and how you deal with anger and competition.

Challenging aspects: This high-energy combination is exciting but can also become volatile. Impatience to get going or anger at feeling held back can cause misunderstandings and problems. There's almost a compulsion to take action and, at times, you will appear aggressive to others. At other times, your directness will get something that was stuck moving again and you'll be the heroes. What to do when is a learning curve with this combination. Learn to modify the extremes and your impatience with yourself and others. The expression of anger between you can be problematic. Take time to cool off before you attempt to resolve your differences. Be sure to give each other credit when credit is due and work on your selfishness and need for immediate gratification.

Easier aspects: You promote energy when you are together and will seek many opportunities to be active, take the initiative or be leaders on the job or your community. And you are leaders rather than followers. Physicality is important, as well as maintaining health. You seem to have an easier time finding positive ways to handle anger and generally have a positive self-image. Your energy together lends itself to involvements in progressive and innovative ventures.

Core Themes: If this is the most exact aspect between your charts, your main relationship theme is to understand the opposing forces and needs for harmony and conflict in your relationship. How you handle conflict is both the problem and the solution.

Challenging aspects: There's more of an edge to your conflicts and sometimes your arguments can go too far, and you take unfair advantage or hit below the belt. If you sense frustration mount between you, do something about it immediately before you create negative patterns between you and resentments that are hard to break. Seek an intermediary or mediation if things get too tense in order to reduce and diffuse areas of conflict. If you're going to disagree, at least learn how to be fair. Your conflicts will always be there to some extent, but you can diminish the escalation. Remember it's best not to burn your bridges too readily in the business world. Practice some political savvy. Learn to recognize and appreciate the effort that both of you put into your business relationship.

Easier aspects: Conflict is a fact of life, but the two of you seem to have a particular aptitude in dealing with your differences in a productive and mutually satisfactory way. There's always likely to be a little sparring between you and some healthy debate, but perhaps that's something you enjoy and keeps you on your toes. Finding a balance between the assertive and harmonizing qualities of relationship and life come more easily to you. Others are charmed by the way you handle yourselves as business partners or colleagues. One of you is likely to play the more aggressive or leading role, while the other takes on the human relations and the meeting and greeting part. The important thing to know is that both talents are a necessary part of your business success. Actively building a business of solid and progressive alliances is key to your business goals.

Core Themes: If this is the most exact aspect between your charts, your main relationship theme concerns the quality of your communication with each other, how you seek and exchange information and also your social network and connections.

Easier aspects: You are blessed with the ability to understand what your partner says or means, most of the time. In fact, you probably have better than average communication in your business relationships, which makes working together on projects a real pleasure. Capitalize on this natural talent. During times of disagreement you are more likely to reach amicable solutions and truly understand where the other is coming from. Others will see you as witty and fun and you are likely to establish a large network of associates, colleagues and friends. Networking and seeking out the appropriate information for the task are definitely strong suits. You keep busy, since you enjoy the stimulation of a variety of activities and want to be aware of the latest information and trends in your field.

Challenging aspects: Although you both value continued learning and communication or writing skills, you may have very different ways of taking advantage of educational venues or seeking them out. This can mean that you often disagree as to what activities to pursue and their value with regard to your business. Still, you appreciate harmonious communication, so whether you agree or not, talking about the process and maintaining an openness to dialogue will help to resolve your differences. This combination can mean it is easier to be taken advantage of or to have someone talk you into something you don't really want or need. Being aware of this possibility will help you keep your boundaries and your money. Scattering your resources can also be a problem. Make decisions that allow you to pursue only a few projects at a time, so that you don't drain your resources and spread yourselves too thin.

Core Themes: If this is the most exact aspect between your charts, your main relationship theme is being straightforward and proactive in your initiatives or goals and in also in your communication.

Challenging aspects: You have strong and direct communication skills. And yet, at times you are too aggressive in the way you express your opinions and, instead of getting support, you will antagonize your business partner and colleagues or even your clients. Speaking before you think can cause unnecessary hurt and lasting negative impressions. Take a moment to think before you speak and consider both your audience and the consequences of your communication beyond the immediate moment. Impatience can be the culprit of many of your communication problems. Take the time to really listen to the other person. However, as you will discover, being fast or first is not always the best and could ultimately put you last in the long run. Consideration and consistent customer service always win out.

Easier aspects: Participation in a variety of experiences that have to do with learning, language, writing, and short-distance traveling comes easily to you as a team. You value intellect and the ability to communicate and you will seek ways of sharing what you know or what you've learned with business partners, colleagues and in social settings. Your greatest combined asset is communication, (possibly writing too) with consideration and tact. The similar values you hold will be useful when it comes to making decisions about worthwhile projects to advance your business or company. Offering continued education to your employees, as an incentive would work quite well since learning is an intrinsic value that is emphasized by your partnership. Music and the arts are also likely to play a role and can easily be incorporated into innovative and entertaining ways of attracting clients and keeping employees content.

Core Themes: If this is the most exact aspect between your charts, your main relationship theme centers on the expression and understanding of your power, empowerment, desire, motivation, the development of your resources and harnessing your personal demons.

Challenging aspects: You will learn much about expressing your personal power, especially in relationship with your business partners or associates. Although you may feel strongly about your point of view, trying to manipulate others typically backfires. You will have to learn how to yield to other ways of doing things from time to time. Instead, seek to understand and develop yourself, to get more of what you want. Grasping too tightly and a fear of losing will likely bring you the losses you feared. Releasing whatever no longer works in your life can be difficult, but a relief once you learn to let go. Although you will struggle with your desires and motives to create a fulfilling life, if you focus your energies in a positive way and keep your intentions clear, you will get what you want without alienating others.

Easier aspects: You are likely to be quite creatively resourceful as a team for any business project. You stimulate each other to bring forth and develop the desires and resources you possess to fuel business projects and goals. Evolving and marketing your talents will be easier for you than most. You appear to have an instinct for knowing what to do when and to persuade others to be on your side. Resolving inevitable conflicts and transforming outworn patterns will be easier for you. Thinking big comes naturally and, once you've pinpointed your goal, you tend to focus on developing winning strategies. Your ability to analyze a situation is increased and your instinct for cutting your losses is excellent.

Core Themes: If this is the most exact aspect between your charts, your main relationship themes are ones of understanding and expressing your power and potential fully and creating advantages and resources for others in the process.

Easier aspects: You probably felt a strong connection with your partner when you first met. Your interest was piqued and you wanted to know, what makes this person tick? Your business partner or colleague could aspire to become or could be a powerful person possessing a great deal of personal magnetism. As potential business partners, your work in the world will develop and grow faster together than for either of you alone, as you pool your resources. You could easily develop businesses together or otherwise collaborate on projects. There is an insistence in your energies that wants to transform outworn systems and breathe new life into them. Being certain of what you want and staying focused are your strongest talents. You are better off being in charge of large chunks of any projects because you don't like taking orders. All that aside, you will always find ways to renew your own personal relationship bond. And as you process inevitable struggles and overcome obstacles, your bond will become stronger and stronger.

Challenging aspects: You are drawn to and even magnetized by each other. Perhaps you're intrigued or you may feel competition. In that case, you may want to draw this person closer, so as to understand his or her motives and agenda. There's no doubt you will engender strong feelings in each other. If you're not careful, you can overreact and express such negative emotions as jealousy, anger, possessiveness or attempting to control your partner. Make no mistake, everyone has these feelings, but, if they take over your relationship and are excessive or bring injury, then you've stepped over the bounds. There is great energy between you and you have the potential to be quite successful. Make sure, however, that your big plans are legal and ethical and, if you put up big stakes, that you've researched the risk and that the expenditures are worth it. Stay away from get-rich-quick schemes. Do your homework instead.
