Charts can be calculated for thebirth of a person, a community, an event or anything that seems momentous. The horoscopeis as individual and unique as a fingerprint.When using these interpretations, please bear in mind that, inevitably, every chart willcontain some contradictory influences, and as a result certain interpretations of differentitems in the same chart may seem difficult to reconcile. However, this may still be anaccurate reflection your chart, as it is likely that you do experience conflicting desires, eventsand circumstances in your life. Usually it is the responsibility of an astrologer to synthesisethese apparent contradictions in order to present a cohesive and realistic interpretation of thedilemmas of the chart.Please also be aware of the fact that each person has positive and negative influences in thechart, and therefore in their lives. The challenge is to accept and overcome the negativeinfluences, so that we can successfully focus on the positive traits. This report outlines theinfluence of both people's charts on each other.

ond with far-reaching consequences for both Hilary and Bill. When and Hilary and Billmeet chances are that their emtional lives are irrevocably changed by the experience of theirunion. Whether lovers, friend or colleagues Hilary and Bill have to contend with strongfeelings. It is possible that their relationship is fraught with emotional difficulties which needto be overcome in order for the bond to be long-lasting. There is a saying, "the path to truelove is not easy". This is certainly true for Hilary and Bill.Hilary's Sun Square Bill's MercuryOrb 5°17' ApplyingThe importance of communication in relationships cannot be emphasised enough. Withoutunderstanding of another person's point of view and the ability to communicate one's ownthoughts and feelings a relationship can easily breakdown. This is a difficult combination forcommunications in a relationship. Hilary and Bill have difficulty understanding each other'spoint of view. They cannot communicate their thoughts and feelings easily. ConsequentlyHilary and Bill have trouble being together and a certain tension exists in the relationship.Hilary needs to be wary of having too much pride, of trying to override Bill's views throughsheer force of personality. Hilary takes a superior attitude to Bill, which proves detrimental inthe long run. Bill feels misunderstood, knowing that his ideas are so different to Hilary's.There is a danger that Bill starts keeping his thoughts to himself thereby blocking any chanceof communications improving. As long as both Hilary and Bill continue to try to overcomethese obstacles then their union has a chance for success. They may find it of benefit to taketime out and write down their thoughts and feelings during times of stress rather thanspeaking on the spur of the moment.Hilary's Sun Square Bill's SaturnOrb 0°10' SeparatingMany astrologers believe that a connection between the serious planet Saturn and a personalplanet such as the Sun is important, providing the cement for a long-lasting relationship. Inother words, a serious planet is needed for a serious, meaningful union such as marriage. It iscertainly true that the combination of the Sun and Saturn is found in many meaningfulrelationships. However, the planet Saturn can also cause problems. Certainly thiscombination indicates that Hilary and Bill both view this as a serious association, whether itis a marriage, friendship or a working partnership. Both Hilary and Bill are committed totheir association. It is likely that they experienced a strong attraction in the initial stages oftheir relationship. When Hilary and Bill first met they each knew they had discovered apotential serious relationship, one to which they could commit and build on over a lifetime. Ifthey believe in reincarnation, then it is likely that they felt a karmic attraction when they firstmet. Perhaps this was a moment of recognition when they first looked into the other person'seyes. However, the very qualities, which they seriously considered as attractive in the initialstages of the relationship, can become the source of friction if they are not careful. Inparticular, Bill needs to be wary of becoming too critical and judgmental. Initially Bill foundHilary's personality traits to be worthy of a committed union. He admired Hilary's qualities ascomplementing his own. However, it is easy for Bill to forget this attraction. As therelationship develops he feels threatened by the force of Hilary's personality and takes asuperior attitude in defence. As a result Hilary feels threatened, disliking the authoritarianside of Bill. If Hilary is not careful her self-confidence is whittled away and the relationshipbecomes onerous. It is vital that both Hilary and Bill work at developing a stable basis forcommunication and understanding in this relationship. If both Hilary and Bill work atmaintaining their own self-confidence as well as mutual respect then they have the makingsfor a very successful marriage or working relationship. Much of their success may depend on

Hilary and Bill are together the sparks fly. The nature of these sparks depends on otheraspects of the relationship. On the one hand Hilary and Bill may be positively stimulated byeach other's company, enjoying lively conversations and energetic activities. Both Hilary andBill learn much from each other and may enjoy facing challenges together which in turn helpthem to move forward in their own lives. However, it is more likely that this combinationindicates a combustive reaction when Hilary and Bill are together. The relationship is likelyto be fraught with misunderstandings and angry reactions. In particular Bill is aggressive,perhaps even trying to bully Hilary to do things his way. Bill honestly believes that he knowswhat is right for Hilary and energetically sets about trying to achieve his goals. However,Hilary resents these tactics and becomes critical of everything that Bill does. There seems tobe no middle ground and tempers are frayed. Hilary is usually able to have the last word, butBill knows how to act in a way that is guaranteed to escalate any argument. Of course there isalways the possibility that both Hilary and Bill enjoy the drama of this relationship. However,if this is not the case then the lesson is to learn to respect each other's differences and tochannel all of the energy created by this partnership into positive activities and livelydiscussions.Hilary's Mercury Quincunx Bill's UranusOrb 0°15' ApplyingA lively and unpredictable relationship is the result of this combination of planets. Hilary andBill enjoy the meeting of two minds and the sense of freedom that they experience in eachother's company. At first they both enjoy the tension that crackles between them, but thissoon becomes irritating. The problem is that there is no peace to be experienced in thisrelationship. The constant tension of two people having different ideas is a challenge. Whatseemed like a meeting of two minds soon becomes a clashing of two minds. Another obstacleto a close bond is a lack of commitment. As the relationship develops Hilary and Bill realisethat it is difficult for them to predict the outcome of their union. In particular Hilaryexperiences discomfort because of Bill's unreliability. Even if Bill is usually a reliable person,he seems unable to be constant in his association with Hilary.

This could mean viewing each other with rose-coloured glasses,failing to realistically assess the merits of their association. However, it could also bepossible that the relationship has an element of deceit or abuse, in particular drug abuse. BothHilary and Bill could feel disillusioned by their association. It is important that they ensurethat the creative, rather than the destructive, elements of their union are emphasised. Perhapsworking on an artistic, spiritual or philanthropic project would be beneficial. However, theyneed to ensure that this project is a positive and appropriate one.Hilary's Venus Opposition Bill's MoonOrb 4°04' ApplyingWhen planets combine unfavourably in personal relationships it can produce either sparks,which excite both parties, or friction. Either way a challenge is presented which needs to be

In extreme cases they may feel that they are fightingagainst the other person's involvement with an absorbing pastime. Or perhaps they feel thattheir partner stands in the way of them really enjoying their own pleasurable pursuits. Nomatter how much Bill and Hilary want to enjoy themselves, their partner seems to bestanding in opposition, or determined to do their own thing. Depending on other aspects oftheir relationship and the nature of the combination of these planets, this can be a realproblem. It's also likely that they have difficulty deciding how to save and spend their money.Bill is likely to feel some insecurity in the relationship.

The planet Venus and the North Nodeindicates a strong bond, but this blend is a difficult one. Fate has played a strong role inbringing Hilary and Bill together, but it also challenges their bond. Perhaps theirs is an illicitlove or maybe they have difficulty reconciling their differences. Money may be a source ofconflict. Hilary and Bill feel compelled to interact despite the difficulties. They are eitherpassionate about each other or ardent about a joint artistic or creative project. This is a lovestory that needs to run its course.Hilary's Mars Square Bill's MoonOrb 6°17' ApplyingIn astrology Mars is the planet of drive and determination whereas the Moon is the planet offeelings.
