This chart virtually screams of discord and doubt. The first aspect that stands out in this chart is the conjunction of Mercury, Mars and Neptune in the sign of Scorpio, denoting a skeptical and cynical nature. He wants to believe, but he doesn't quite dare; he is incapable of accepting anything at face value, always delving deeper, trying to find the true meaning, attempting to make sense of it all, even when there is no rational explanation to be found.

Jupiter conjunct Saturn squaring his Sun accentuates this basic conflict. His life alternates between uncanny good fortune, and harsh, even cruel lessons; the repercussions of his actions always come back to him, and sooner rather than later, but he may be slow to realize this basic cause-and-effect, instead blaming it on external forces or 'bad luck'.

Uranus opposite Chiron, with the Moon squaring them both, shows a deep distrust of change; he dreads the passage of time, because he fears what it will bring. Accordingly, though his Sagittarius Moon may present a cheerful, even happy-go-lucky exterior at times, it's a cover for his deeper fears, and his inner certainty that no matter how well things seem to be going, he's sure to get screwed over in the end.

As one might guess from the rest of the chart, his love life is a mess. Venus in Virgo tends to be extraordinarily picky, and though the Scorpio conjunction denotes great intensity of passion, his inherent distrust prevents him from allowing himself to get too close to anyone. Mysterious, enigmatic people draw him like a moth to flame, but provoke a sense of insecurity and instability; he is far more likely to find happiness with someone he knows completely and thoroughly, and trusts beyond any shadow of doubt.

He's happiest in situations in which he can find answers, delve into unexplored mysteries and put the pieces together to his satisfaction. He has a great natural ability for this, and is only truly content when he can make sense of the inscrutable: it's the unanswered question that most undermines his stability, and leaves him feeling vulnerable and powerless. This is the great challenge facing him in life: learning when to trust, and how to trust, and who to trust; and learning to accept the fact that there are puzzles in life that cannot be solved.

This is the chart of a real powerhouse! The most prominent aspect is the Sun-Mars-Saturn conjunction in opposition to Uranus, emphasized by an opposition between Chiron and Pluto -- incredible energy and drive, she considers it a natural thing to throw herself wholeheartedly into achieving her goals. Life will have hard lessons to teach her, mostly because change doesn't come easily to her: she prefers to achieve her own changes, not have them thrust upon her by external forces. However, she will not have a choice in the matter; there will be surprises, lightning-quick alterations of things that she has considered the 'natural order' of things, forcing her to adapt and alter her patterns of thought and action. But in this process of adaptation lies growth - this is her life's challenge, and she has the ability to triumph over the obstacles that fate tosses in her direction.

Contrasting with this single-minded energy and drive is a strongly sensitive, emotional nature -- the Sun-Mars-Saturn conjunction lies in the empathic sign of Pisces; and the Moon in Cancer is in its natural home, where emotional sensitivity is at its greatest. A grand trine affecting the Moon, Neptune and Chiron accentuates this tendency, causing her to feel things more acutely than others do. She may feel that this sensitivity is a weakness, undermining her effectiveness and sabotaging her energy and strength; she may try to shut off her feelings, developing powerful barriers to protect herself from being too easily led by her heart. She will need to strive for balance, with a conscious effort; this, too, is a challenge to be overcome as she walks down life's path.

Venus and Jupiter conjunct in Aries are a sign that she throws herself into affairs of the heart as singlemindedly as she pursues everything else in her life -- at least, when she allows herself to do so. She's ferociously loyal and immensely generous, with a strong jealous streak; and she's probably really, really good in bed. With this conjunction squaring her so-sensitive Moon, she's suspicious of love, slow to lower her barriers and let someone get close to her -- but once she does, once she's decided to allow a prospective lover into her heart, she gives herself completely, and without restraint.

She allows no deception; she's far too intelligent to accept falsehoods from others, and too self-aware to lie to herself. Despite her caution toward her own empathic emotional nature, despite her inherent distrust of change, she is strong enough to accept the truth about herself and the world around her. Her quiet power makes her a formidable ally, and an even more formidable foe: people may underestimate her once, but after they've witnessed her strength and resourcefulness first-hand, they will not do so again.

This composite chart, a mathematical blending of both natal charts, shows a great synergy between two seemingly disparate individuals. The Sun, Mercury and Mars conjunction in Sagittarius shows a great energy and drive toward intellectual pursuits; and an ability to transcend logic and look further, to a less sensible but possibly more accurate solution to a given problem. Jupiter conjunct Chiron denotes an almost uncanny luck, a way of turning odd coincidences to their benefit; in opposition to Pluto, this lends an ability to transform the mundane into the fantastic, and vice versa. With Neptune square Saturn, it often seems as if belief is at odds with the reality of any given situation; but as a unit, they possess the power to unravel even the most inscrutable mystery.

With the Moon squaring the Sun-Mercury-Mars conjunction that powers their relationship, emotional matters aren't an easy thing for them: both individuals possess a certain inherent distrust of their own emotional natures, and this is only exacerbated in their relationship. While they share an intellectual rapport that borders on communion, sharing their feelings is an entirely different matter: opening their hearts to each other is a difficult, even painful thing for them. However, if this obstacle can be overcome, there's the possibility of great passion: Venus is in exact opposition to Mars, lending a great potential for sensual intrigue, and the intensity of their intellectual union may well be enough to allow them to overcome the stumbling block that lies between them and true emotional rapport.

But whatever course their relationship may take, theirs is an exceptional and unique union: together, these two individuals can accomplish what would be impossible for either to achieve alone.
