The Two of You – And More
Below is some sample text from a number of the chapters of a
Simpáticos report. These excerpts show the writing style of the
author, Bernie Ashman. The printed reports are nicely formatted and
output on 8 1/2" x 11" paper on a laser printer, and are sent in an
attractive, heavy-stock "Profile" cover.
The Playing Field
Welcome Barbara and Bill, to your Simpáticos Profile, an
analysis of your relationship, through the use of a unique tool, the
Composite Chart. This is a type of chart that astrologer's use to get
an overview of a partnership. It is constructed by using the midpoints
between each of your individual charts. The Composite Chart is a
Blueprint that represents a symbolic meeting place of your shared
mental, physical, emotional and spiritual chemistry.
Have you wondered why the two of you find it easier to agree on some
topics, and experience distance when trying to discuss others? This
report will likely touch on some areas where you might need insight...
The Players: The 10 Planets
The planets represent the ways each of us act out various roles in
pursuing our goals. In the Composite Chart, each planet is pointing to
the choices we make collectively with our partner. The planetary
discussions that follow represent the key tendencies of your
relationship.
There is always freedom of choice. The planets indicate different
directions you can travel together in your shared road map. Each of you
must still travel the miles and decide the best way to get to mutual
destinations. If you take a wrong turn or choose a very bumpy road, it
is still possible to get back on the right highway...
Part One: The Lead Roles
Sun in Virgo
A Sign is a psychological process through which a planet operates. As a
couple you are Solarized through the sign Virgo. This Sun sign gives
your partnership great Powers of Observation. The keyword phrase for
Virgo in traditional astrology is "I analyze." Your two minds have an
ability to discriminate reality from foolish thinking in a heartbeat.
There are three basic themes that Virgo gives to your partnership. One
is a strong belief in the work ethic. Our first Virgo cave dwelling
ancestors could work circles around their contemporaries. A primordial
tendency of this dependable earth sign is a conscientious attitude
about work and duty.
What does Virgo mean for you? Encourage each other to find a meaningful
career. Learning new skills to hone a craft can delight either one of
you. Your business sense as a couple is probably sharp. The two of you
can spot the bottom line of a business deal as fast as a cat's eyes
adjust to the dark. People will find you well organized, even if you
don't always think this is true. You could operate a business together
successfully...
Part Two: The Supporting Cast
Mercury in Virgo
Virgo + Mercury = Pragmatic (Virgo) Perception (Mercury). With your
conscious mind (Mercury) occupying the sign Virgo, an emphasis on being
very aware of details is indicated. The two of you prosper in a
well-organized life style. You appreciate getting exact answers to each
other's questions. You look for the logic in one another's thinking.
Take turns listening to your partner's concerns and ideas as it brings
you closer in spirit.
Part Three: Planetary Aspects
Aspect Interpretations
Sun square Moon: These two planets play a major part in your romantic
liaison as described in Part One. You have a high voltage aspect here
regarding ego (Sun) and security instincts (Moon). It means you both
have strong opinions about having your individual needs met. Letting
each other feel important is a heartfelt need. You are apt to dance
dramatically through life together. Listen to the imagination and
creative impulse from one another's heart, and you won't step on
either's feet. This is an area that will require regular maintenance.
Talk. Laugh a little. Don't hide your feelings. Be generous in lending
your emotional support to each other as it goes a long way to ensuring
stability and harmony. Your home is a place of refuge. It is where much
of your creativity is born and stays stimulated. As a couple, you ask a
lot from life and have the energy to fulfill individual and joint
dreams.
Part Four: The Nodes of the Moon
Your shared North Node is in the sign Taurus. What does this offer you?
Your partnership thrives on emotional stability. This doesn't mean you
should never get angry. It is just indicating you prefer peace over
emotional chaos. Taurus is an earth sign attached to creature comforts.
Having the money to buy what you desire makes you both happy. You can
acquire wealth together. A mutual appreciation for beauty is something
you have in common. Neither one of you likes to go without affection
for too long. This North Node placement adds a very resourceful touch
to your lives. You could share a love of the outdoors. When you first
met there might have been a comfortable feeling. You might have felt
accepted at face value. Just be sure to include your partner on the big
decisions that impact you both. Share your inner and outer selves so
that your hearts remain close.
