Hello. I'm not sure if I'm labeling this topic correctly but...
My mate and I would like to have our charts done if possible. We do not currently have all of Linda's books (only Star Signs) and very eager to have this done fast. If anyone competent out there, please help.
Laurentino: Born on the 14th of April, 1973, at 2:23am
Veronica: Born on the 6th of Feb., 1974, at 7:59am
We'd like to do our profiles to better our relationship. Our relationship has been up and down lately and I'm becoming quite concerned. Please help out.

Laurentino and Veronica,
I am not qualified to help you, but in order to compose an accurate chart, the place of birth will be needed.

L & V, if you can hold on for a few more days, you can order Linda's Relationship Profile from our gift shop, as soon as it opens. That will give you LOTS of information and insights, in Linda's own words.

In the meantime, if you want to post your place of birth (for both), I'll do the calcs for you, so you can at least have the basic facts and planetary positions to work from.

Thanks for your reply. We were both born in New York City. Manhattan to be exact. Veronica explained to me the importance of the location. She's the more adept astrologer in this union - boy, do I love this woman. I'm trying to catch up while she's teaching me as fast as she can but I'm just too impatiant. I am an Aries after all.
Again thanks for the prompt reply.

As for everone else...
Please feel free to post your personal experiences concerning this topic. You never know. You might find something in this wild "wilderness".
Until next time...

Okay, I'm emailing you the calculations. You should also run, don't walk, to the nearest bookstore and buy Linda's Relationship Signs, it will help you very much to understand the astrological interactions between the two of you.

Thanks a lot Gregory, I'll be doing just that!

Hiii Tino and Veronica!!!

hey guys,u remember u had mentioned in one of the threads that u had had astral,out of body experiances?!
oh pleaaaaase!Could u share how they were like?Im so excited about this revelation and i would love to know just anything about this experiance!!!Wow!like how did it happen and what do u do to make it happen or is it just sudden?!
Do let me know friends,itll be a great pleasure!
thanks!
love
shagun.

(Veronica speaking}: Hi shagun, I started to experiment with astral travel about 8 years ago. The first time I tried, it took me six hours to leave my body. When I looked around my room I saw everything differently... I definately knew i was in another plane of existance. The feeling in the air was also different. This frightened me and I jumped back into my body. I've experimented from time to time so I can get rid of this feeling. It is said you can't lose contact with your body by doing this... but you never know so be careful! There are different methods people use for astral travel like meditations, crystals or mirrors. I am currently reading a book on magic mirrors. This book shows you how to make a lunar mirror for astral traveling into many different worlds. I'm still studying so i'll let you more as i go along. If your interested... the book is called: "How to make and use a magic mirror" by Donald Tyson

Hiiii Veronica!!!

THANK you ever so much for sharing that profound experiance!!Youre so lucky yknow.I never can even get into a proper meditative state!!!so i dont even know if ill ever be able to properly relax!!

Oh yes veronica,i have tried with magic mirrors and crystal balls!but brrrrrr theyre scary!I once kept staring into a crystal ball,room dark with my head covered with a blanket as advised.Boy!after a while i kept seeing these clouds,different colours and then suddenly before i knew it i was floating above my body!Not too far above but i could feel my hands were not my hands and an incredibly floaty sensation in my head!shreik!i jumped back in so quick that i got a shocked jerk in my body and god...i never tried it again!do you think that was an out of body experiance?Do,Do let me know!!
and thanks so much for the book suggestion...i shall look it up very soon!

love and light!
shagun.

Dear Veronica and Laurentino,

The last thing that Linda says in Love Signs about the combo of Aries man and Pisces woman is this:

Put two completely different types of people together, and do they grow to love each other less and less - or more and more? With Aries and Pisces, it's not the differences between them that matter. It's what they have in common - the fear of being hurt. Her vulnerability is easily discernible - his may be disguised by Mars bravery and brashness, but it's just as real, just as painful as her own. (unquote)

Fire and water instinctively know that each can destroy the other. Certainly with tolerance and patience, two generally incompatible Suns can make music, yet it would seem to me that in this case it would involved focusing on facing and eliminating whatever fears and vulnerability Linda intimates may be involved. I guess you have to look within to see what the source of the fear is and release it through facing it with each other. Yet realize that your Sun Sign combination will usually require tolerance to blend more harmoniously. That is only my opinion, not having looked at your birthcharts.

And part of our job while we are here is to transcend the less desirable qualities of our Sun Sign. Once you reach 30 or so, this becomes more of a necessity. To get going on acquiring more patience is an undertaking that an Aries generally should start on sooner than later.

Bright Blessings,

Carlo

------------------

Thanks a lot Carlo for your thoughts. But that describtion would have been more apropiate (mis-spell, I think) for my last relationship.
My dear love is an Aquarian.

To Gregory: I'm still waiting for the information you stated you were going to send. I hope you didn't forget about us!
We are in the process to buy the book but things are a little chaotic money wise. If you are still in the motion of gathering our "profile", thanks a lot. If not, what are you waiting for. LOL!

Hmmm, I did send you that info, same day I mentioned it. It turned out to be quite long, so maybe your email service had trouble delivering it. I'll re-send it right now, if you don't receive it again let me know and I'll figure out another way to get it to you.

Tino and Veronica,

I apologize for the mistake about her Sun Sign. I will blame it on Mercury retro. I mean, look at the Astronet site...this is the second day in a row it says that Saturn is at 9 degrees Aries. And the Cosmic Muffin, Mr. Martini, had a void-of-course Moon on Tuesday beginning at 3:11 am and going into Cancer at 11:33 pm...sometimes scary to have a void Moon all day and night (like during Merc and Mars retro). Anyways, Luna went void at 3:11 pm, not am. And those are just what one Virgo spotted!

Meanwhile, there is a sextile between Aries and Aquarius, which generally indicates harmony, yet it does have to be worked for.
Well, what doesn't! She must get you going sometimes, lad, Aquarian gals are usually so wicked sharp, and that bit about always asking questions to see what you know, and answering questions with questions is accurate, from my experience with these usually least-airy-of-the Air signs. Plus Aquarius is fixed, and Aries is cardinal, so you want to charge and she may not move. Yet, despite the Aquarian reputation as being single more than most signs, I have found Aquarian women to be more likely to hold on to their men. Remember that Love is the Answer, so if you keep loving her right, I'll bet you she sticks around, even after your hair has fallen out, which, by the way, is indicated for Aries men, per Linda. I have seen it to be true.

It would also truly help to understand the way Air and Fire blend. Linda says this:

Air fans Fire, and cause it to burn more brightly, stimulating enthusiasm and excitement - or inciting passion and anger. Too much Fire can burn up the oxygen in Air, making it difficult to breathe - and too much Air, such as a strong wind, can cause a flame to flicker ever more dimly. The choice lies equally with both individuals.

In the chapter on Aries man, Aquarius woman, Linda mentions "perhaps the single, most threatening aspect of a relationship between these two". Since you're short on dough (although next time you're in a bookstore, at least read this combo from a Love Signs on the shelf), I'll reprint what she says this is, it is about sexual equality:

She was born under a masculine Sun Sign, and her attitudes and actions are aggressively guided by the also-masculine planet Uranus. The Ram, too, was born under a masculine planet, MArs. On top of that astrological standoff, she's Fixed (stubborn) and he's cardinal (determined). It may sound pretty discouraging, like the game of childhood, where one person draws a line and dares the other to step over it - or like General Lee facing General Sherman, cannonball to cannonball. But it's not all push-and-pull between these two. There is also a good deal of give and take, principally because of the beneficient karmic influence of their 3-11 Sun Sign Pattern [sextile]. It brings to their relationship all kinds of beautiful bonuses and boosts to happiness and harmony.

The most beneficial of these is the friendship aspect of the 3-11 vibration, allowing couples influenced by it to be freinds, as well as lovers. You can see how this might solve a lot of the Ram's problems regarding her Uranian friendship fetish. In addition, the influence creates the atmosphere for free and flowing communication between them - most of the time. They'll find it easier than most couples to talk about their disagreements - to communicate their feelings to each other. They'll both benefit more or less equally from this particular reward of their personal Sun Sign Pattern vibration, because she's an Air Sign and all Air Signs do enjoy talking. He's an Aries, and enjoys it even more. All these goodies somewhat dilute the negative effect of the Fixed versus Cardinal and double masculine standoff between them. Not that the latter can be completely ignored. It will still be necessary for them to cope with these matters to some degree, but a solution won't be difficult and certainly not impossible.

Hope any of this helps, sorry again for the earlier mistake.

Bright Blessings,

Carlo

Laurentino Speaking:
Thank you very much, Carlo. That was very thorough. Your (or Linda's) points are right on the money. I'll be going to the book store sometime next month so that I can have more info. However, I'm a very detailed man and would still like to have everyone's input and personal experiances on this matter. As they say, "many is better than one"!!!
Again thanks alot!

No problem, Boss.

I would submit that most of the other contributors to this site would look primarily to Linda's most thoughtful analysis of couples. In other words, many MAY BE better than one, yet we pretty much all look to One on this type of thing. Unless there are other folks out there who are or know couples with the same Suns who can help out...

Otherwise, I would say it would be accurate that Linda is who we go by for this. I am not aware of anyone else who ever published anything even similar to Love Signs.

Does anyone else?

And I do not generally support composites.
That is, a birthchart that is erected using the midpoints of the couples' planets, and creates one chart somehow imbued with characteristics that will tend to minimize the importance of the individual forces of each person. As if my Virgo Sun and her Scorpio Sun are somehow a much cooler Libra Sun as a couple. As if!

Anyone can chime in with a composite analysis. I won't, though.

I think the more accurate way is basically to just read Love Signs, and look at both charts side by side for aspects and karmic indications. That helps when comparing charts The book cost $20. I have given it as wedding gifts, birthday gifts, it is just an indispensible part of my LIFE, and I am confident that others around these parts feel the same way. It is a Bible. (I can just feel many others whispering "Praise Linda, Hallelujah Brother" under your breath)

There is a nifty book called Karmic Relationships by Martin Schulman, published by Weiser, a good publisher of occult material. It's $7.95. That's good to use when comparing charts, too.

Does anyone else feel similarly about composite charts? Please share.

Blessings,

Carlo

------------------

Carlo, I've found that composite charts do have some value, but mostly for couples who have already built a solid, long-term relationship -- in other words, when there actually IS a "composite entity" that is the marriage or relationship itself, as distinct from the individual personalities of the partners. It can help with things like home-buying, career and retirement planning, those things that partners plan and do as a couple. But I completely agree with you that a composite chart is pretty useless for finding your perfect mate. In this respect, Linda's work is unique and stands head and shoulders above anything else I've encountered.

BTW, for those who may not be aware, the computerized Relationship Report that is offered in our Gift Shop is programmed according to Linda's precise instructions, and every word of the 50+ page report it creates was written by Linda herself. For those who really want Linda's insights into the dynamics of their relationship (present or potential) I highly recommend this report -- it will blow you away!

Hi Greg,

That isn't a composite report, is it Greg? Is it based on Love Signs, or is it entirely new to that? That sounds fab-o!

I can see how a composite chart can be more accurate for a couple that is truly an entity, thank you for pointing that out. It is true that dating and courting, considered 5th house territory, changes altogether to 7th house dominion once a couple ties the knot. That's partly why people seem to change totally after getting married.

Them wacky stars...!

Blessings,

Carlo

Hi Carlo -- nope, the Relationship Profile isn't based on a composite chart , it's based on the synastry comparison of the individual charts. The written interpretations are more recent than Love Signs, but of course embody her same understandings, enhanced over time.

I hear you about the changes that happen when couples bond long-term, but I'd be quick to point out that that doesn't have to mean submerging the individual identities by any means. Firesong, my mate of 17 years, still considers me as irascible and iconoclastic as ever! (And vice-versa.) But in the best relationships something new emerges that is ADDED to the individual strengths and weaknesses of the partners by themselves. Hey, if not, why bother?!

Wacky stars for wacky people ...

Could someone help me out please? I have some questions about my chart. I had two done over the internet. One is Tropical Placidus and the Tropical Equal. I know Linda used the equal house system. You see, I'm starting film school in June. I'm also interested in studying world religions, philosophy, astrology and such. I'm a little confused about how I can really combine my interests. I also want to know about what does the Part of Fortune mean, what about your descendant opposite your ascendant? and on this one chart I had done, there is what I think either comets or asteroids listed in my chart... here are the abbreviations: CH (I think is Chiron), VS [I think is Vespus(sp?)], JN (for Juno?), and then there is CE and PA. What do they mean in a chart and what can my chart tell me about past lives, karma and my true professional career calling in life? I would LOVE it if any you could help me out. Thanks so much! Love and Light.

May I email my birth data? You could post your responses here. Thanks. Tammy

Tammy, if you email your birth data I'll be happy to take a look and see what I can about your areas of interest. Or, if you're not too shy, you could post it here and you might get even more insight from all the knowledgeable folks of the forums.

Yes, Tammy, when, where and what time? Email us privately if you must.

You're request looks like it may require a joint effort, so we all may contribute. Actually, that may be a great way to do it.
People could say whatever they think may help out whenever they wish. We all learn that way, so nobody fear noviceness in this joint. We're all in this together, this obstacle course called Life. And weigh everything you read judiciously, for we all make mistakies.

Blessings,

Carlo

------------------

Thanks so much Gregory and Carlo! You are such angels! I emailed my data. Thanks again. I can't wait for the results... I'm so excited! Blessings

I looked on my chart again and found out what those abbreviations stood for, but not knowing if they are really significant... and also what does the vertex mean? You know I said I had a couple of those free charts done... but when I look at the equal compared to placidus, my sun in the equal house is in the tenth...? Can that be since my sun is in Aquarius? On the placidus chart it shows my sun in the eleventh house. UGH! This seems so confusing... I mean, one chart shows 4 planets in the 8th house and the other only three? Also on the placidus chart, it shows that Cancer is the ruler of my 4th(5 degrees Cancer 13 minutes) and 5th(29 degrees Cancer 22 minutes) house, AND Capricorn the ruler of my 10th(5 degrees Capricorn 13 minutes) and 11th(29 degrees Capricorn 22 minutes) house? I know I am bombarding you with questions, but this Aquarian mind needs to know! I LOVE TO KNOW!!

Love and Light

Tammy, since you are willing to have your positions and interpretations posted here (but not your birthdate ), this is a great opportunity to give everybody a chance to see how different astrologers go about interpreting a chart. This thread is getting a bit long, so I will create a new one called "Chart Interpretation" and post your positions there -- then we can give everyone a chance to look at how to go about looking at a chart to get basic information. Okay?
