Using Cosmodynes to Understand Relationships
If you haven't read the first two articles in my cosmodyne
series (article
1 and article
2), please consider reading them first. They will give you
the background you need on cosmodynes in order to better utilize the information
presented here.
Have you ever seen two charts displayed together in
a bi-wheel and thought about having a quick way to gauge the compatibility
between the two people represented? I will try to enlighten you on a technique
that just might be able to help you. The technique I want to share with you
is DUAL COSMODYNES.
Cosmodynes, also called astrodynes, are an astrological
measure of strength and harmony. The original techniques were developed in
1946 by Elbert Benjamine (aka C.C. Zain) of the Church of Light in Los Angeles
and W.M.A. Drake. The methods used to calculate astrodynes have been published
in several books. The Church of Light has published their "Course XVI,
Stellar Healing" book and Elbert Benjamine's "The Astrodyne Manual".
The AFA has published Doris Chase Doane's "How To Read Cosmodynes"
and Ken Stone's "Delineation with Astrodynes". This last book gives
perhaps more interpretation of the various astrodynes than any of the other
books mentioned.
I have taken the basic principles behind cosmodynes and
developed my own system of relationship analysis called dual cosmodynes. To
make a long story short, I reasoned that if cosmodynes showed me the real
strength and harmony or discord in my own chart, then why can't they show
the strength and harmony and discord between pairs of people? Why can't the
same principles be used to analyze the compatibilities (or lack thereof) between
two people in a relationship? The dual cosmodyne technique tries to gauge
the strength and harmony or discord between the planets in one chart and how
they affect the planets in another chart. Energy is energy. You have yours
and I have mine. How do our energies combine and/or conflict when mixed together?
How can they be measured?
Below is an excerpt of a sample listing of the dual cosmodynes
between my first wife and me from my program called MatchMkr,
or better yet, my Astro123
program, which you can download from my website.
Interaspects between the three outer planets are not considered as Uranus,
Neptune, and Pluto are not personal planets.
