This will be an experiment. Last year the soldier and I really started drifting together and eventually the thing gained momentum and then became magnetic the way it is now.
We are both pretty sure once we get together there will be no separating us. I am committed but he thinks this will be true for many, many lifetimes and also that we have nothing to say about it. (A Pisces Perspective)
I don’t know but can’t say I disagree considering I am willing to clobber anyone who gets near him and I am not sure how that feeling would ever stop it is so strongly constellated. If we had met when we were 4 and 5, I am sure I’d have been kicking sand in the sand box, threatening people with my pail.
Back when we first started drifting I told a pal I had misgivings about hooking up with him because his life was just so incredibly difficult. It is GRUELING and while my life is similar I don’t think it’s as bad. I do think people feel this way about me too though.
Do you really want to stand near someone who endures so much hardship? It is very hard to watch someone get knocked around like this. They get knocked around, seemingly punished by life and for what?
I explained to satori how difficult it was to hear about how difficult it was for him and the closer and more bonded we became… well I began to take on his problems and internalize them. How could I not? How can you love someone and not merge with the whole of what is going on?
So this has happened now. His problems are my problems and my problems are here is the thing: It wasn’t always this way. This hard, I mean.
Conversation from today:
“I’m wondering if things will be different for you when you get here,” I said. “If they will be easier for you somehow.”
“Probably.”
“Because it seems to me as if you’ve been in a rock tumbler since you left. You just tumble and tumble and everywhere you land, you land hard. Bam, bam, bam.”
“Yeah, (name omitted) and I tried all kinds of things with that. He was skinny so we’d have him jump from the plane first and then I’d jump and I would still land first like a sack of potatoes,” he said with a chuckle. “I would land before him and no one could believe it.”
“You must have weighed about the same.”
“Yeah but it’s like a pound of feathers and a pound of lead. The lead is going to land first.”
“Well I’m wondering if you will get out of the tumbler once you are with me. I don’t remember it being this way and you are polished now. You look polished to me, do you think you can get out of the tumbler?”
He laughed again. “Yeah maybe. I don’t remember it being like this either, or if it was we were so happy we didn’t care. That might have been it.”
“We were just happy no matter what was happening?”
“Yeah.”
If you live in proximity to someone… mix your energy with theirs can it alter their experience in the world? I think it this is possible. Obviously he is going to feeeeel better but what about the hard knocks? Can they be alleviated in some way or is it always, “wherever you go, there you are.”
And what do you astro-cartography people think?

Sounds like destiny to me.
The rock tumbler analogy is very good. The last 15-16 months have been like that for me, but I am stronger. The rough and /or flaky edges have been ground away leaving a solid core. Perhaps like obsidian that is translucent when held up to the light.
Yes I definitely think that two people together have an altered experience compared to an individual. Their reality shifts because of their combined energies and it isn’t just perception that changes. This is my experience anyway.
wherever you go, there you are. but a relationship has a life of it’s own. and wherever it goes…
still, astrocartographically speaking, i think different places light up different elements of who you are. i’ve been living near a mars line for several years, and i can feel the difference between that, and the place near a saturn line, and the venus/pluto line. i’m more comfortable here, go figure
though visiting near the jupiter line is best.
so, you don’t change, but the focus of your experience shifts. as far as i can tell.
I agree. In the last 17+ yrs being married to an ARIES, I’ve noticed we’ve both made adjustments and our composite chart is more accurate.
Say, do you think transits to the Composite will give some idea of how things are going to play out? Particularly to the Moon in the composite?
Neith, I have never researched that so have no idea. So much astrology, so little time!
Great comment Neith! Good question too. I am also married to an Aries. [And for a good many years as well.] The composite chart makes sense to me. The idea that we are both altered by our relationship too each other is intuitive on a myriad of levels and of course astrologically.
Perhaps it is like the bubble on a 4ft level with the ends of the level resting on the charts of two individuals. The bubble will shift to a new centre, based on changes at either end.
Since the Composite represents the midpoints between placements of both individuals’ charts, there are only two options: either the transits affect the Composite (the Moon when it’s related to the emotions, but also all other placements on the Composite), or the Composite is not significant. The same way one can say that if the Composite really reflects the relationship (which makes it significant), the transits will affect it.
Gah!!!! This is why I’m highly stressed that I may have screwed up my consultation…exactly the nature of my conundrum! Talk to you tomorrow
kashmiri, that was my mistake and failure completely. We said Sunday, not Saturday so if I wind up by a phone on Saturday looking around confused… well that’s just because I am stoopid. Anyway, no big deal. The thing is tomorrow not today - mercury is retch after all.
Note on Composite: I actually like the Davidson method better, because it’s not just a construct, but a real chart of the midpoint in time and in space (birth times and birth places). On a Davidson chart you will never see Mercury 5 signs apart from the Sun, or things like that, because it’s a real horoscope. You may check it out at astro.com > astro atlas>extended chart selection. It has similarities with the Composite but you’ll see the differences. It’s a great method, in Germany they call it Combine and use it a lot.
