Astrology on Love, Devotion, and Friendship

Perspective on Different Kinds of Relationships

Astrological comparison can sort out the difference between long-term love and sexual attraction, and friendship. The entire range of planets goes into calculating what is called an astrological synastry.

Books written by Robert Hand, world-renowned astrology writer, are my favorite source of information

One of the best things about astrology is the absence of a judgmental mind-set.

When two people are compatible, they are like harmonious colors.

Human beings are complicated and multifaceted. I don't think there is such a thing as any two people who are compatible in all aspects.

Here again, these concepts are never regarded as good or bad. As human beings, we are meant to have lessons in life. This includes trying relationships that will always occur in an ordinary lifetime.

A huge factor about any aspect of astrology is that the whole study is about potential. I compare this to electrical potential, because the focus is on energy, and exchanges of energy.

Take an electrical appliance, for example. If it isn't plugged in, it's not going to work. The potential factor only comes into play when it's connected to the power source. The rest of story here is how a person uses that power.

In matters of love, the planets of Mars and Venus are the most important indicators. When two people get together with a trine, or conjunct aspect between these two planets, there's a powerful magnetism.

This aspect alone isn't enough to carry a long-term relationship. The super magnetic kind of attraction doesn't happen very often. But when it does - it's hot. An inexplicable sensation of melting, and surrender can overpower everything else.

Without any other astrological compatibility factors a Mars-Venus connection stays in the realm of a torrid love affair without any real stability or devotion.

Another significant planet that comes into the picture is the moonsign of each individual. A good placement of each moonsign shows that the subjects are natural friends.

Contrasting placement lends to difficulty in understanding one another.
