The Players: The 10 Planets

Part One: The Lead Roles

The Sun

The Sun is the center of our solar system. It generously shares its radiance with the other planets. In Astrology, the Sun is the heart of the chart. It points to ways that your relationship needs to confidently shine. Keep the fires of your Sun burning brightly and proudly together. Love will follow. Happiness will fill your minds, bodies and souls. The Sun stands for ego needs, will power and creative vitality.

Forget your own Sun signs for the moment, Bowie, and Iman.

Your shared Sun sign could be different than your individual Sun signs. Remember that we are talking about your combined Sun. It is the fusion of your two hearts.

 Sun in Libra

A Sign is a psychological process through which a planet operates. As a couple, being solarized through the sign, Libra, gives you a shared desire to be a soul mate for each other. The keyword phrase for Libra in traditional astrology is "I balance." Establishing a sense of equality and unity are important aspirations. A spirit of cooperation enhances your relationship. Important friends and peers can be enriching.

Exploring the things you have in common is exciting. Sharing a fondness for the arts and life's natural beauty can bring you closer. Life can become a romantic dance. Periods of self-exploration will add deeper meaning to your time spent together.

If your schedules start to have a hectic pace, be sure to create moments of relaxation. Your relationship stimulates people to want to be involved in your lives. Finding time to be alone may not be easy. You might even need to carefully protect your schedules to find quality moments together.

Include each other on major decisions that affect each of you. Do this and you will win mutual admiration. There is nothing each of you dislikes more than being discounted.

It is not wise to project your own problems onto your partner. Learn to communicate openly about circumstances. Truly listen to each other. It will go far to keep you on the same mental wavelength.

Allow your own unique identities to blossom. Living your greatest potentials through the partner takes away from creativity. Take pleasure in enjoying the essence of individual and collective expressions.

Have fun with the creative styles of this relationship. The two of you can display artistic talent. Your friends could even have rich aesthetic backgrounds. Your social circles stretch wide and far. There is likely sensitivity regarding criticism. Talk about your differences patiently. An argument does not mean that you are wrong for each other. Express your feelings as well as your mind. Compromise could be the solution to finding the middle ground.

Your creative vitality widens your mental horizons. The feelings expressed can gracefully deepen your connection. The beauty and harmony discovered in your individual lives will bring excitement into your relationship. Make a toast to the lessons of the past and to the new lessons to be learned in the future. You make a vivacious couple. Entertaining others for business or pleasure is always at your fingertips. Your tact and flair for diplomacy are hard to rival.

The two of you have little trouble in making your ideas known to each other. Your personalities are very lively together and attract attention. Do you sometimes feel like you are the life of the party? To avoid turf wars, encourage each other to develop individual goals. There is plenty of room in this relationship for both of you!

This partnership can be filled with vigor and drama. The two of you can stimulate each other to creative heights. Boredom is not a welcomed sight. You need to stay active so that the pump of your spontaneity stays primed. Each of you likely needs regular challenges in life. Taking an occasional creative risk keeps life interesting.

Life in the fast lane is your natural pace. You may be impulsive in initiating romantic and pleasurable moments together. Your type "A" personalities may need occasional shifts into type "B". Of course, it could be the other way around. Too much life in the slow lane may bring out some strange moods in each of you.

Try to alternate in yielding the right of way. This will help avoid head on collisions! You tend to draw out each other's will power in a big way. Make it a policy to have some compromise.

Do not take each other's opinions too personally. Your outspoken natures are hard to hide. It is not hard to predict you will deal with each other's anger. Take a deep breath. It's the passion you instill in each other being ignited.

Procrastination does not suit either of you. It can cause missed opportunities. There are times when you will need to follow your call to action.

Being patient with each other can take practice. Give each other a chance to wear the appropriate creative outlets. You need to have exciting trails in your lives as this keeps the fires of your imaginations lit.

The Moon

Countless song lyrics, poems and lofty dreams have been inspired through gazing at the Moon. The Moon's sign and house position represents the intimacy and feelings you share with each other. Establishing a sense of security and a home are other lunar sides of life. The Moon symbolizes the imagination you share from your inner landscapes.

Moon in Virgo

You probably believe there is no sense in doing a job if you are not going to give it your best effort. You can possess a keen awareness of each other's emotions.

Have you grown tired of waiting for your partner to be perfect? Neither one of you will ever be free from making a mistake. Keep your expectations reasonable. You can't do the impossible. The two of you are conscientious about fulfilling your obligations. Others will appreciate your sincerity in taking responsibility seriously.

Beware of becoming a workaholic. There is a temptation to push yourselves endlessly until a project is completed. Being too attached to endless details can produce a lot of working overtime. Be sure to make time for fun experiences.

Let your imaginations guide you to support each other's desire for growth. Listen with an open ear and communicate with an open heart. This will keep you fond of each other.

Each of you grows uncomfortable when there is a disagreement lurking in the air. The sooner it is resolved the better.

Let your intuition lead you to light a fire of new direction in each other's minds. You can learn to grow comfortable with each other's differences and to enjoy the similarities.

The Ascendant

We are taking a short intermission from the planets to introduce you to an additional key part of your relationship. The Ascendant or Rising Sign is the sign that starts the 1st house of the chart. The Ascendant is one of the twelve signs with a special role serving as an ambassador. It acts as a persona or mask for an individual or a relationship. The Ascendant is the personality through which we interact with the world.

The Ascendant is the way we appear to others. It is their first impressions of us. You meet someone and he or she seems to be confident, shy, talkative, cheerful, etc. The same can be said for a couple. The two people might seem theatrical, dreamy, or businesslike.

Ascendant in Libra

People could see the two of you as diplomatic and outgoing types. Fairness through carefully weighing opposing viewpoints is a regular occurrence. A flair for dressing colorfully and in the right way for an occasion is typical of you. It is impressive how you manage to fulfill several social obligations and maintain a smooth way of interacting with others. You can feel like soul mates with a shared purpose. Entertainment tastes can be a particularly fun way of spending time together. You can help one another stay cool during all forms of emotional weather. Your calendar can get creative in making time for romantic atmospheres.

The Part of Fortune

Your Sun, Moon and Ascendant can be combined or blended into a cosmic alchemy, known as the Part of Fortune. This is not a planet, but rather a reference point in the chart. The Arabian astrologers of the Middle Ages are given credit for its discovery. The Part of Fortune is said to show where we can expect to find good fortune and even luck. Do we really need to take a look at something from the long ago past, if it will serve as nothing more than a relic to hang on the wall? A translation of this ancient symbol into modern terms makes this symbol worth investigating. Why? Because it can give clues to special paths that lead to harmony and a spirit of feeling united.

Think of the Part of Fortune as the potential corridor leading to Opportunity. It is a way to read the pulse rate of the partnership, indicating ways to reach a shared sense of fulfillment.

Part of Fortune in Sagittarius

A youthful and positive philosophy blows good fortune your way. Travel to places, and sifting through numerous learning materials, takes you into exciting self-discovery together. It is the adventurous journey that might seem more worth it than the actual pragmatic results obtained. No one belief system will truly capture all of your imagination. It is the chase for new growth that awakens you. Expansive impulses inspire you to talk, write and dream. Betting what you own on an opportunity might be your way of showing faith. Knowledge is power in your eyes.

Part of Fortune in the Second House

The steady creative power you manifest together can take you to fulfilling places. Your desire to accumulate wealth or possessions rests greatly upon your determination. The values you share are a rallying point for your commitment. There is magic in your lives when you seek greater meaning. You may show similar fondness for comfort and peace of mind. Accepting each other at face value makes being together very harmonious. Putting your resources in the same pot can make you a successful team.
