For the Two of You: Both Sides of the
Game
Below is some sample text from a number of the chapters of an Friends
& Lovers Profile, created from Bill Clinton and Hillary Rodham
Clinton's birth data. Here are a couple of paragraphs from an
introductory portion of the report addressing how the first person
(Bill Clinton) approaches relationships in general. These excerpts show
the writing style of the author, Michael Erlewine. The printed reports
are nicely formatted and output on 8 1/5" x 11" paper on a laser
printer, and are sent in an attractive, heavy-stock "Profile" cover.
This is based upon the planets in his 7th house. Here are excerpts
taken from some of the Friends & Lovers chapters:
Report for Bill Clinton
How You Approach Relationships
Aries on the 7th Cusp
You're a real smoothie, refined and ever so facile when it comes to
handling other people -- a diplomat. And yet -- despite all of this
apparent calm -- you like your partners anything but cool. You can't
resist impulsive and action-oriented people -- the more daring, the
better. You bring out the recklessness in those you love, and you love
it. Although at first meeting one might never suspect this, you love to
walk on the wild side.
MARS: Ruler of the 7th
Relationships tend to be hot and heavy. You are drawn to partners who
are aggressive, assertive, and very emotional. Independence and
adventure are things you value in others. You tend to depend on your
partners to get you motivated and keep you moving. You need someone who
is stimulating emotionally.
The
favorable, "soft" aspects in the chart determine the next section of
the report that describes the relationship strengths found in the first
person's chart. Here are some of these aspects as they appear Clinton's:
Strengths in your relationships (Bill Clinton)
Mars Conjunct Neptune (orb
00 30')
You are, from time to time, really inspired to the point of moving
others with your enthusiasms. You exercise an almost hypnotic quality
over those who listen in when your imagination takes over. Dreams,
psychology, and all things occult and metaphysical are your especial
province. You're never afraid to take the plunge when matters of
idealism or imagination come to the fore. You feel and experience the
unity of life -- that we are all in some way, one. Others sense this
about you.
Venus Sextile Pluto (orb
00 44')
A passionate one. You love it when a crisis emerges and threatens to
shatter the normal routine, because you yearn for a chance to undergo
really profound changes. You're like the survivalists who wish the
world would stop pretending and get down to the nitty-gritty. Fiercely
loyal, you would rather see a relationship through hell and high water
than abandon it. You delight in emotional confrontation, intense
conversations, and secrets of all kinds.
The
"hard" aspects -- oppositions and squares and semi-squares -- determine
the next portion of the report, titled Challenges in Your Relationships:
Challenges in Your Relationships (Bill Clinton)
Sun Square Moon (orb 05
42')
You are torn between the impulse to stand on your own feet, and a need
to be cared for and nurtured. Your independent streak may be ashamed of
the need on your part for love and affection. It's a no win situation.
This could also be reinforced by a mother and father who may have
worked at cross purposes. The resulting tension will have to be dealt
with gradually and methodically.
Sun Semi-Square (orb 00
07')
You may have trouble giving yourself credit and appreciating yourself
for who you really are. You can be torn between grand ideas of some
ideal love for all beings in a very abstract sense as opposed to loving
real people on a day-to-day level, as they actually are. Others may
accuse you of being selfish, or ungrateful -- of not giving credit
where credit is due.
Next
is a section describing the general relationship with Person #2
(Hillary Clinton). This is derived from the placement of Hillary's
planets in the houses of her husband's chat:
Your relationship with Hillary Rodham Clinton
Her Sun in Your 1st
Your meeting Hillary was exciting and action oriented. In many ways,
you are two of a kind. Chances are that you identified with her at
once. After all, she is very much like yourself -- like looking in a
mirror. Just the person to draw you out of yourself and get you doing
things. She may have brought a sense of adventure and risk into your
life. You found yourself doing things with her, daring to live, and
making a statement. You found yourself really coming across with her,
being all that you can be. As corny as this sounds, the world has
really been more responsive to you since you met Hillary.
Her Moon in Your 6th
The two of you may end up working with the public on some health or
service-related project. That may even be how you met. Hillary
personifies, and brings to your attention, concerns that you have known
about for a long time but perhaps never acted upon. Things like diet,
smoking, exercise, preventative medicine --anything that exemplifies a
caring attitude. She is very supportive, and when you are with her it
seems that all these endless details are easy and even fun to care for.
