ZIP DOBYNS (Astrology) - Film Score Rundowns

elationships where people are really attracted to each other. I remember one couple who
came out of Hollywood. They were married and divorced three times. They couldn't live
together, both of them really centered on their own egos, yet they couldn't ever really
break up either. They had three of those sets of angle/node intersections. They kept
pulling apart and coming together because when you have those interactions you have
oppositions as well as conjunctions.
One of my favorite examples of the nodes contact, and also of the natural
difference between the south node and the north node, was a couple where they each had
their own Sun on the other's south node of the Moon. Sun is your growth potential, doing
more than you've done before. The south node is one of your lessons for this lifetime
where you're also growing, either voluntarily or being pushed into it. This couple
struggled through a not very happy marriage for quite a few years until they raised their
one child, and then they got divorced. Within a few months after that she met and within
weeks married a man. This time they each had their Moon on each other's north node.
They had one of these absolutely incredible idyllic marriages, like made in Heaven! They
were almost totally simpatico on every level. It lasted for about one year and he died.
After that, she thought about the whole situation. She was really into astrology, psychic
phenomena, reincarnation, the whole bit. She realized she had not learned anything with
that relationship with the first husband. She went back and they remarried, and they
managed to work out a viable relationship until he died some years later. Both of them
had more maturity, not trying to change or dominate each other. So they had a reasonably
good marriage the second time around.
South node does not have to be negative, but it is something to learn! Similar for
Saturn conjunctions. There's some growth and some learning, but it does not have to be
bad. One of the most successful business partnerships I know about was two women--an
older and younger one--who both had their own Sun on the other person's Saturn. The
average astrology book tells you a horror story about this combination. But they had a
very successful business partnership, with neither one trying to dominate the other. They
each had their own area of responsibility and power that they handled. It depends on the
maturity of the persons involved. The chart shows you the issues, not the details, of what
they'll do with it. Sun-Saturn contacts are about power: ego-power and executive power,
king and executive. If they both have their area of power and they don't try to interfere
with the other person's area of power, and they can compromise on the areas that are
mutually important, then there doesn't have to be any kind of problem at all.
Generally speaking, when you do comparative charts, you will find that the
charts actually fit together reasonably well. If each person solves his or her own inner
problems, they will be able to handle the relationship. The problems are basically inside
rather than outside, and if we face them and work them out on the inside, then we can
handle the outside. We always find someone with the same dilemma.
If we have an Aries-Libra nodal axis, we are working on the Freedom/Closeness
dilemma. Aries says "My will" and Libra says "Let's compromise." So we find
somebody who has the same dilemma, and hopefully we work it out together. We learn
how and when to compromise, and when to stand firm on our own rights and not be
trampled on. If at different times in our life we are working with a different dilemma in
our nature, then we will find ourselves being attracted to different kinds of people who
will be reflecting back the issues that are important to us. They match our dilemma and
