Hi Abishek –
Some Preliminary Technical Comments
First, I am reluctant to use the technique that compares Rising Sign with Sun Sign, because I have no idea if Daylight Savings was in effect in India, where you were born. The question is a simple one: if Daylight Savings was in effect, then the clock on the wall was set a hour ahead, and the true local time was a hour earlier.
Anyway, this difference could change the Rising Sign in both your chart and in Swetha’s.
Secondly, I had my computer do a Comparison Chart for you and Swetha, and although its point system is rather arbitrary (the computer assigns different values for different types of contacts between your planets) this does provide a base which can then be compared with the readings for other couples.
You two have a very large number of contacts (7000 pts), which is to be expected since both of you are Leos, and your Suns are in conjunction. And the ratio of harmonious to inharmonious planetary aspects is almost 2.5 to 1 – a very high ratio indeed.
Having said this: I have met couples whose ratio was 1:1, and they still made their relationship work! Obviously, the results really depend upon the maturity, desires and insights of the two people.
With your two Suns in conjunction, there can be a clash of wills, and with two Leos, the question is: who is going to King (or Queen) – or thinks they are? Obviously, a strong sense of humor will be of great help here.
Past Lives
For those who are interested in Past Lives, the types of contacts we see here represent people who have worked together many times during past lives You were married before, you were also brothers, sisters – and once, Abishek, in one past life, you were probably Swetha’s daughter.
The point here is not so much Past Lives but rather the changing faces of your relationship. On a day to day basis, and if you are very self aware, then you can experience these aspects in the daily flow of give and take; in other words it is AS IF … and, obviously, both of you can enjoy these episodes. So, Past Lives or not, the two of you have a great deal you can share which will enrich your daily lives.
Transits
You have recently enjoyed your first Saturn Return (in late 2005) which is a time when we come to terms with ourselves, and probably – because you sense this, you feel frustrated. But that only means that YOU think you should be completely in charge of your life. And, to do that, you need a level of maturity that quite exceeds any range that Reason can obtain.
This frustration is really good for you because it suggests you are sensing the changes LIFE has planned for you. Big changes are indeed coming, and I have picked just one set of transits to illustrate these changes.
Ura QTL Mar 72d 21m 0d 21m Applying
Ura SSQ Jup 45d 30m 0d 30m Applying
Ura SES Sat 135d 45m 0d 45m Applying
Uranus is a very slow moving planet, so the fact that these are APPLYING means a the influence will be felt for at least a year longer. And, as astrologers know, these changes will be with you for the rest of your life, so – make the most of them!
Uranus quintile Mars
Uranus represents the urge to go beyond all limitations, to change, and to invent new circumstances. More specifically, it urges us to go beyond the limitations we set up in the way we used Saturn – or powers of focus, and setting limitations.
Mars represents how you emerge as an individual. So the quintile (72 deg.), as the number of ‘Man’ (five, or the pentagram) represents Creative Transformation because only humans are able to use Nature’s powers to transform both themselves and their environment.
Uranus semisquare Jupiter
Jupiter is the great benefic, and represents your ability to expand and enlarge your role in the social realm. The semisquare is both intense and a challenge, because it represents your attempt to externalize (fix) yourself in relation to the outside world.
Uranus sesquiquadrate Saturn
Saturn always gets bad PR as the great malefic, but in truth it is the principle of focus and differentiation. Thus, by determining your role in the social realm, and then limiting your energies to expressing and focusing on that role, you can achieve your personal expression of who you are and why you are here. The sesquiquadrate is both a challenging and a stressful aspect. If you blow it, it can mean you have created a series of new crisis in your life; if you succeed, you will have successfully defined your role as a social individual.
So, whether you enlarge, change, grow – or increase the self-limitations you impose upon yourself, this coming year will undoubtedly have a profound and lasting effect on the quality of your life.
And, Swetha, I thank you for the compliment; that was lovingly said.
Morton
