Introduction
This report has been written to introduce you to the concepts of astrology and how to get started in relationship astrology. Astrology is a complex and meaningful science which takes years to study and apply successfully; however, we would like to whet your appetite with this report, and encourage you to deepen your understanding through other means.
Astrology is a study of the connection between planets and life on Earth. It is based on a concept that energy patterns form between other planets and Earth and that these energies affect our lives as individuals and communities.
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 using 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. Usually it is the responsibility of an astrologer to synthesize these apparent contradictions in order to present a cohesive and realistic interpretation of the dilemmas of the chart.
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. This is called relationship synastry meaning the comparison of two horoscopes and the correlations discovered. It is likely that the report will show both the strengths and weaknesses of the relationship synastry. Any advice given is meant to be an aid to a person taking responsibility for their own lives and their own choices within a relationship. The ultimate decision rests with each individual. The author and publisher accept no liability for any adverse affects of this report.
Individual Relating Traits
This section looks at each person's individual relationship concerns in their own personal birth chart. Every individual brings certain needs and expectations into a union, which affect his or her ability to feel loved and supported. This in turn affects the nature and course of the relationship.
Traits of Barbara
Venus is in the 10th House
When the planet Venus is placed in the tenth house of your birth chart professional relationships are important. Success and honor are likely to favor your doorstep. Both your career and your primary relationship are favored by this beneficial placement of the planet Venus. Depending on other influences in your birth chart, you succeed in your professional ambitions and in attracting a primary partner of high status. It's possible that you marry above your station. You enjoy pleasurable professional relationships, particularly with women, and can create a harmonious and comfortable atmosphere in the workplace. This leads to greater productivity, either your own or other people's. Your professional attitude to work, and harmonious working relationships, usually results in good promotional prospects and increases in salary. Your career may be linked with decorating, beauty products, women's interests, personnel management or any field that requires teamwork. Your life partner needs to respect the emphasis that you place on your career and professional contacts. In some cases you may meet your spouse through your professional contacts, or share the same profession as your loved one.
Venus is in Aries
With Venus in the sign of Aries you'll pursue a partner ardently and hastily, preferring to be the initiator of the relationship rather than the recipient of someone else's plan of action. Initially you've great enthusiasm for your loved one, and it's important to keep the spark alight throughout the relationship. For you enjoy a challenge in your relationships, and need to be wary of losing interest after the initial excitement of the chase. You do well with a partner who allows you plenty of freedom, because you value your independence and freedom. If you become involved with someone who likes to be in control and limits your personal freedom your relationship could suffer. On the whole you find it quite easy to walk away from a relationship if it ends. It's not that you're heartless or lack commitment. In fact you are quite ardent in your commitment. It's simply that when it comes to relationships you've an independent attitude. This attitude is also reflected in money matters.
Venus is Trine Uranus
The planets Venus and Uranus are connected in your birth chart indicating that you value freedom and individuality in your most intimate relationships. In fact you're determined that your primary partner recognize your individual rights. You won't allow anyone to curb your sense of freedom. You're attracted to an unusual, active or lively partner, rather than someone staid. For this reason your primary partner is likely to be inventive, extraordinary or involved in an unusual occupation. This isn't everyone's idea of an ideal partner, but it suits you. You seek spontaneity and intellectual stimulation from your primary relationship. Depending on other influences in your chart, commitment isn't a major part of your vocabulary, and can be something that you tend to avoid, preferring to be "footloose and fancy free". It's likely that you're afraid of losing your independence, or perhaps you simply don't like the confines of a conventional relationship. Fortunately you're likely to have many friends and potential partners. Your bright and magnetic personality attracts potential life partners like moths to a flame. You enjoy socializing and have a wide circle of friends, and believe that it's important that a life partner share your friendships. Your best friend should be your partner, as far as you're concerned.
Traits of Ken
Venus is in the 9th House
When the planet Venus is placed in the ninth house of your birth chart relationships are a source of spiritual and philosophical inspiration. It's important that your primary relationship be with a person who can meet you on the same intellectual level, or be a willing student of yours. Intellectual matters are not a strain, but are a source of great pleasure. Whereas some people are focused on their daily lives, you prefer to be thinking about matters further afield. Therefore you enjoy activities that stretch your mind and help you escape from the mundane world. You enjoy traveling to other countries, meeting people and experiencing different cultures. Religions also hold an intellectual interest. Your travels abroad are likely to be successful. You're also hospitable and enjoy meeting people from other countries, who are more than happy to return your hospitality at a later date. You seem to spend so much time traveling to and from other countries that your friends are hardly surprised to hear that you're likely to marry a foreigner. In some cases you marry a person with spiritual, scientific, literary or artistic inclinations. These inclinations reflect your own interests. Academic study and lectures also hold a great appeal, again because they are intellectually satisfying. If you enjoy reading, then you're more likely to read a literary work or serious study, rather than a light novel. Depending on other influences in your chart, you're likely to form a good primary relationship and enjoy good fortune in life.
The Moon is in the 7th House
The Moon is placed in the seventh house of your birth chart suggesting that your primary relationship plays a key role in your life, dominating your moods and actions. It's likely that you marry at a young age, but if not you put a lot of time and energy into searching for the right person to share your life. The life of the single person isn't an easy one for you and you can be quite restless in your endeavors to find a partner. If you're married then you're sensitive to the feelings of your partner and keen to put them at their ease. You're likely to either adapt your behavior to please your partner, or to rebel against his or her influence. The influence is the same in that his or her behavior is dictating your mood swings. The problem is that you can allow your primary relationship to be too dominating, sacrificing your own needs and desires to the other person. At worse, your partner is fickle and not worth the effort that you're expending. This is an extreme representation of the astrological influences. It's also likely that your partner is simply changeable and of an unsettled nature, seeking change and stimulation through travel and work. Therefore you simply need to reassess your priorities and to work towards a balance between loving compromise and self-assertion. You need to seek a partner who honors your emotional needs. You need also to be wary of letting your relationship with a woman, possibly your mother or mother-in-law, influence your marriage or potential marital partners. Knowing your own heart and feelings helps considerably in these situations. In ancient times the Moon was considered to be in a strong position when placed in the seventh house of a chart, meaning that you're in a strong position to achieve your personal ambitions. This, of course, depends on other influences in your birth chart.
Venus is in Taurus
With Venus in the sign of Taurus romance and reliability go hand in hand. You approach relationships slowly and steadily, looking for someone who will prove solid and secure. You've a practical attitude to forming a relationship, weighing up all of the pros and cons. As much as possible you hold back before making a commitment, so that you can assess a person's true worth. You're interested in your potential partner's values, both morally and materially speaking. Do their actions match their words? Do they have substance? These are the kind of questions that you consider. The reason for this is that you're seeking security. You're not the kind of person who lightly commits to a relationship, as you're well aware of all of the pitfalls of romance without substance. You want a relationship to be long lasting, and prefer a traditional marriage arrangement. Once you've given your word, your spouse can count on you to keep it. It's not that you lack romance. Quite the contrary. You're a very sensual person, who enjoys the warmth and physical side of a close relationship. It's simply that you're seeking the security of a long-term relationship before you allow yourself the luxury of romance and sensual pleasures. Your attitude to money matters also reflects this attitude. You enjoy the finer things of life, and are prepared to slowly and steadily work towards accumulating them. Financial security is important, and you may look to your primary relationship to provide you with some extra comforts in life.
Venus is Trine Saturn
The planets Venus and Saturn have combined in your chart indicating that you're seeking commitment and security in your primary relationship. Positively speaking this can be a rewarding, long-term relationship with someone trustworthy and reliable. You're faithful and loyal, a dependable, stable and dutiful partner. You value a long-lasting relationship, and are willing to take your time in establishing a permanent partnership. As a young adult you may favor a traditional marital relationship, complete with a formal ceremony and traditional wedding vows. This could change later in adulthood, when you're more likely to consider commitment in other forms. You're likely to achieve your objective of a worthwhile, long-term relationship after careful consideration and planning. On the other hand if you're not careful you may become involved with someone who tries to control your movements and behavior. Depending on other influences in your chart you may be shy and inhibited in your personal relationships, and be fearful of standing up for your rights. One of your parents may have been too strict, eroding your confidence and ability to make your own way in the world. Consequently you fear expressing yourself, particularly in intimate relationships, and harbour feelings of being unattractive. While your personal relationships may prove difficult you've the ability to form good business partnerships. This is probably because business partners don't require intimacy or emotional vulnerability, which you find frightening. It's also possible that you're attracted to someone much older or perhaps your primary partner is also your business partner. The good news is that once you overcome your feelings of inadequacy you've the ability to form secure and long-lasting relationships based on firm foundations.
Venus is Square Mars
The planets Venus and Mars are combining unfavorably in your chart indicating that you struggle to balance your own needs and the needs of your partners in relationships. You seesaw between wanting closeness and freedom. On the one hand you seek adventure on your own, on the other you want to be close to your partner. The ideal is a balance between the two. You're charming and assertive, passionate and alive, and admire these qualities in a potential intimate partner. You love to share your adventures with your partner, and it's likely that your relationship will inspire both you and your partner to explore new territory. However, you may become impatient with your partner, or aggressive and irritable when he or she fails to keep up with your activities. You can be equally impatient with yourself, but this isn't necessarily any comfort to your partner.
Venus is Square Uranus
The planets Venus and Uranus are combining unfavorably in your chart indicating that you're restless and often lack commitment in your personal relationships. This can lead to disappointments and complications in love and marriage, particularly in your early adult life. It's also possible that your roving eye can lead to scandal. You're willful and often perceive your primary partnership as demanding too much time and effort, an obstacle to your freedom of self-expression. You seek spontaneity and intellectual stimulation from your primary relationship. Unless other influences contradict this aspect of your birth chart, commitment is not a major part of your vocabulary, and can be something that you tend to avoid, preferring to be "footloose and fancy free". This isn't to say that you don't have many offers. Quite the contrary. Your bright and magnetic personality attracts potential life partners like moths to a flame, but you prefer to keep your options open rather than be pinned down. Depending on other aspects in your chart you may be satisfied with a gypsy-like approach to relationships. You may also like intrigue and secrecy in your relationships, perhaps even taking part in a secret organization. However, if other influences are calling for commitment and permanency in a primary partnership, then you need to choose a partner who is able to give you plenty of freedom. You're more suited to an unconventional relationship. You also need to learn to compromise, restrain some of your wilder urges, and enjoy your partner's unique contribution to your life. It's possible that the restless side of your nature is more prominent in relationships, which have formed through friendship or through fleeting attraction rather than through true love. With the right person, you're able to develop your talents and strengths in a positive and supportive relationship.
Synastry Between Barbara and Ken
Personal Issues
This section looks at the interaction between two people and their two birth charts. It notes the nature of the relationship, whether it is likely to be a successful personal relationship or whether the forces at work are suggesting a less intimate bond. In other words how do these two people come together on a intimate level?
Ken's Moon is Conjunct Barbara's Mercury (Orb 1°43')
This is an ideal combination for a personal relationship in which two people enjoy ease of communication. Ken and Barbara enjoy each other's company because they are able to communicate comfortably. They enjoy discussions and are not concerned about arguments. Many personal relationships fail simply because two people are unable to communicate both their thoughts and feelings. The synastry of these two planets means that Ken and Barbara are able to tell each other not only what they are thinking, but also how they are feeling. They are able to do so in a manner that is not threatening or hurtful to each other. Therefore Ken and Barbara are both safe in the knowledge that they are not going to overreact, trampling on each other's feelings. Likewise Ken and Barbara are easily able to acknowledge the value of the each other's thoughts and feelings. At times Ken and Barbara may even feel they are telepathic together, seemingly not needing words to communicate but understanding each other's unspoken thoughts. Together Ken and Barbara are able to take a balanced approach combining passion and reason. They have an understanding and rapport that enables them to clarify their own thoughts and feelings. Ken is likely to be the more intuitive of the two, while Barbara is likely to rely more on the intellect when communicating.
Ken's Moon is Conjunct Barbara's Venus (Orb 8°22')
Compatibility is the key theme to this combination of personal planets. This is an ideal combination for an intimate relationship. Ken and Barbara feel comfortable with each other, confident that they understand each other's feelings and share a common bond. They may even feel that they have found their soul-mate, someone who understands them at a deep level and in whose company they take great pleasure. It's likely that Ken and Barbara have a lot in common and enjoy sharing their personal life and pastimes. Romance is at the heart of this relationship. Ken and Barbara delight in spending time together pursuing artistic pleasures, visiting the theatre, art galleries, concert halls and other such outings. Perhaps one of them or both take part in an artistic pursuit. Ken and Barbara enjoy picnics in picturesque and romantic surroundings, and perhaps entertaining guests in their own aesthetic surroundings. Money may also play an important role in this relationship. Together Ken and Barbara enjoy making and spending money. They are comfortable with the decisions that they make together regarding money. There is a lot of love being shared in this relationship prompting co-operation and a certain sense of harmony. While this combination is ideal for an intimate relationship, it is also a positive one for friends, associates in the community, work colleagues and family members. It augurs well for any long-term relationship.
Barbara's Sun is Trine Ken's Sun (Orb 5°53')
When two people's Sun signs are connecting in a positive manner it augurs well for any relationship. However, it is an ideal combination for a close, personal relationship whether it be a close friendship or love relationship. There is an instant rapport and the two people seem to shine more in their own lives as a result of such a connection. Barbara and Ken enjoy each other's company and feel that the other person is giving something special to the relationship, adding a little sunshine to their lives. Barbara and Ken probably experienced an instant attraction when they first met, warming to each other's personalities. This is because Barbara and Ken have a lot in common and tend to view the world in the same fashion. Sharing a common purpose they work and play well together. It is easy for them to co-operate, creating harmony in shared enterprises and activities. In fact Barbara and Ken are likely to experience luck and good fortune in joint projects. There can be a tendency for friendly rivalry, but this usually brings out the best in both Barbara and Ken. All in all it is a very successful combination of personal planets.
Ken's Sun is Conjunct Barbara's Ascendant (Orb 3°06')
It is significant in relationship astrology when one person's planet makes contact with the Ascendant in another person's chart. In this case Ken's Sun is combining with Barbara's Ascendant indicating that this is a significant personal relationship. Ken and Barbara feel strongly drawn to each other, experiencing a sense of completeness in each other's company. Ken can really shine through his association with Barbara. He appreciates the benefits that this union brings into his life and the way in which Barbara helps him achieve his personal goals. In turn Barbara has a greater sense of well-being through her association with Ken. She welcomes the sunnier aspects of Ken's personality and appreciates their 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.
Ken's Sun is Square Barbara's Mercury (Orb 6°16')
The importance of communication in relationships cannot be emphasized 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 breakdown. This is a difficult combination for communications in a relationship. Ken and Barbara have difficulty understanding each other's point of view. They cannot communicate their thoughts and feelings easily. Consequently Ken and Barbara have trouble being together and a certain tension exists in the relationship. Ken needs to be wary of having too much pride, of trying to override Barbara's views through sheer force of personality. Ken takes a superior attitude to Barbara, which proves detrimental in the long run. Barbara feels misunderstood, knowing that her ideas are so different to Ken's. There is a danger that Barbara starts keeping her thoughts to herself thereby blocking any chance of communications improving. As long as both Ken and Barbara continue to try to overcome these obstacles then their union has a chance for success. They may find it of benefit to take time out and write down their thoughts and feelings during times of stress rather than speaking on the spur of the moment.
Ken's Sun is Square Barbara's Venus (Orb 3°50')
This combination of the Sun and the personal planet Venus in relationship astrology is a difficult one. It indicates that the two people have conflicting values when it comes to personal relationships, which creates problems for any long-term association. Ken and Barbara feel a strong attraction to each other, but they cannot seem to communicate in a harmonious manner. Joint decisions about relationships are difficult. Ken and Barbara argue about subjects such as the future of their relationship, family associations, money matters and creative pastimes. They just can't seem to agree. Ken feels frustrated. On the one hand Ken is drawn to Barbara. On the other hand Ken knows that he is losing his identity in this relationship, and is often floundering to express himself. Barbara is also frustrated. She feels overwhelmed by Ken's powerful personality and is unable to get on with her creative pursuits. Neither Ken nor Barbara really feels that they are benefiting from this union, and yet they feel drawn to try to resolve the problems. Depending on other connections in this relationship Ken and Barbara may finally decide to end their association or they could resolve their differences. They may need to seek counsel on how to resolve their differences.
Barbara's Mercury is Square Ken's Mercury (Orb 4°16')
Communication plays a central role in the success of any relationship whether it be a love union, friendship or work association. This combination indicates a difficult liaison. It is a particularly tricky combination for personal relationships, which can thrive or fail on the basis of harmony or disharmony in communications. The combination can also create tension in friendships and work associations. The difficulties arise when Barbara and Ken try to communicate their thoughts and opinions. Either Barbara and Ken disagree on many subjects or they fail to communicate exactly what is on their minds. Either way the end result is tension and arguments. Criticism plays too prominent a role in this relationship. Both Barbara and Ken feel irritable when together, but don't really understand the true cause of the friction. They feel compelled to communicate with each other; perhaps they have to work together on a joint project. However, harmony seems to elude this relationship. Barbara and Ken need to find methods of communicating clearly and calmly in order for this association to succeed. Perhaps written communication could help take the heat out of communications, or involving a third person as an advocate could prove beneficial.
Primary Forces
In addition to the intimate aspect of a relationship, there are usually a number of fundamental driving forces, which can be either major challenges or inspirations to the individuals involved. This section looks at how Barbara and Ken stimulate and provoke each other.
Ken's Moon is Trine Barbara's Jupiter (Orb 6°07')
This is a positive combination for any relationship enabling Ken and Barbara to overcome any obstacles in life and embrace the happiness of the present moment. Ken and Barbara 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. Ken and Barbara 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. Ken feels that Barbara expands his horizons. Ken feels safe and appreciated in this relationship. Barbara knows that Ken is a comrade in arms when it comes to fun and adventure. Barbara feels that she is truly appreciated for her generosity and optimism. Together Ken and Barbara can conquer the world. Nothing seems too far-fetched. This combination augurs well for a long lasting and happy relationship.
Ken's Moon is Trine Barbara's Uranus (Orb 4°58')
The saying 'expect the unexpected' could be applied to this combination of Ken and Barbara's planets. There is an element of excitement and adventure when Ken and Barbara get together. They both enjoy the thrill of being in each other's company exploring new territories together. Many relationships start with the thrill and ardor of romance only to have it fade with the routine of daily life. However, Ken and Barbara know how to keep the exhilaration for the long term. In particular Ken is very attracted to Barbara, acknowledging that Barbara adds a lot of spice to his life. He feels life is more joyful since he has met Barbara. Ken may be the one to nurture some of Barbara's more adventurous plans or he may simply enjoy going along for the ride. Barbara feels that Ken gives her companionship and comfort prompting her to new heights of innovative ideas and activities. It's possible that both Ken and Barbara enjoy an unusual and innovative hobby or work project. This is a fun combination for a personal union, but will need other connections between two people's planets to cement a long-term intimate relationship. This combination is also ideal for less personal relationships such as friendships or a working project that requires creative and innovative ideas.
Ken's Moon is Square Barbara's Saturn (Orb 2°04')

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 Ken and Barbara both view this as a serious association, whether it is a marriage, friendship or a working partnership. Both Ken and Barbara are committed to their association. It is likely that they experienced a strong attraction in the initial stages of their relationship. When Ken and Barbara 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 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, Barbara needs to be wary of becoming too critical and judgmental. Initially Barbara found Ken's personality traits to be worthy of a committed union. She admired Ken's qualities as complementing her own. However, it is easy for Barbara to forget this attraction. As the relationship develops she feels threatened by the force of Ken's personality and takes a superior attitude in defense. As a result Ken feels threatened, disliking the authoritarian side of Barbara. If Ken is not careful his self-confidence is whittled away and the relationship becomes onerous. It is vital that both Ken and Barbara work at developing a stable basis for communication and understanding in this relationship. If both Ken and Barbara 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.

Barbara enjoys her freedom and cannot understand why Ken is so insecure about their relationship. As the relationship progresses Barbara becomes more impatient which in turn increases Ken's insecurities. Unless there are other aspects of the relationship, which indicate commitment and stability, this union, is likely to falter on rocky ground.

However, they also experience intense emotional battles as the passionate nature of the union becomes difficult to control. If Ken and Barbara are in a romantic liaison, these emotional struggles can overflow into the bedroom adversely affecting sexual relations.
