A Protocol For Deciding Compatibility Between Persons, Animals, or Organizations
If a client comes to me an asks for a
compatiblilty quotient between them and someone else, this is generally the
sequence I use.This is the full, flat out, no stone unturned sequence.
Often, significantly less will do.
You will need several things:
1. the date they come to me with the question
2. the date they first met the “other”
3. their own birth date, hour, place
4. the other’s birthdate, hour, place
A. The first step
is a chart of the person:
What I want here is a measure of their ability handle a relationship. The
1st house, and the ruler of the first house is the significator here. I look
for a relationship to the ruler of the 7th house, and failing that, a relationship
between the natural ruler of the 1st house, Mars, and the ruler of the 7th.
Without some kind of contact here, serious relationships that are sustainable
over time MAY not be in the offing except during a progressed period where
such a connection exists.
Now certainly, some progressions could be very very
long and last a lifetime .
Mutual receptions and solstice points show connections for relationships to
the significators or co- significators of the 1st and 7th houses
I also look at the planetary depositor of each significator to see if there
is a relationship.
Fourthly, there is the importance of parallel of declination.
Now I digress slightly. It is my contention that
our lives are like a giant puzzle. Astrology helps us put the puzzle together.
Longitudinal charts describe the puzzle pieces and what they look like.Declination
charts describe the edges of the puzzle pieces, and thus so one knows where
the rough edges are and how the pieces can fit together as well as where they
need to be rounded more.
So, especially importantly, parallels of declination are significant when
looking at the relationships potential and actual in potential relationship
charts(I use the Boehrer conversion to longitude provided by John Halloran’s
terrific AstroDeluxe Astrology computing Program---otherwise you have to do
it manually).
Fifth, in the natal of the person who comes to me, you need to look for mutual
receptions, particularly if they involve the Ruler of the Ascendant(which
gives the person the ability to bend).
Sixth, I want to know a follow-up on the fifth one: How do they deal with
change?
The planets that the moon most recently passed over
before and after birth are the significant ones here, and then the relationships
between the Moon and Uranus, and the Moon and Pluto in the natal chart.
Once this is all done, the astrologer has a pretty good background on the
characteristics of the client’s ability to deal with relationships and
the necessity of bending within them.
B. Often my next step is to look at
the other person’s chart to determine: “If they are a good catch”.
Here I will be looking at his/her potential for
honesty, faithfulness, dependability, and responsibility, by looking for a
good relationship between Mars and Saturn or a placement of them within the
first house together, and the the Ruler of the Ascendant. I will look to see
how many planets are above the horizon(denoting openness and public orientation
in partnership), and the number of retrograde planets which show how much
s/he is willing to go back and correct mistakes from quarrels.
In my case, I have characteristics which should show a divorce, but they are
tempered by 5 RX planets in my chart. I have no problems rolling over and
playing dead, after eating crow! And I can do it continuously for years, if
necessary.
I also look for fitness and aptitude for health and work.
C. The next step determines whether
it may or may not be profitable to join the charts by any of the available
methods of synastry or composite.
And this is important , if is positive it may show
some real info, if negative, forget doing that.
We look at the client’s chart. We need to find an aspect between client’s
ruler of the asc and the other person’s ruler of the asc. If the significators
of each chart are unrelated, then you look at Mars in each chart, and see
whether we are looking for a clash or not. If the rising sign of in either
chart is the same as the one on the other person’s 6th, 8th, or 12th
houses, there will be very early clashes in the relationship. the one whose
ascendant is on the other’s MH shows a good aspect.
Without some positive aspect here, then we have no possibility of tying these
people together and using a composite, synastry, or marriage sun chart. If
people who used these charts would look at this simple connection first, they
would be far more likely to see significant use for the charts.
D. Now I look for specific kinds of
relationships which would portend a useful and functioning partnership.
There are many many of these. You need to write
them down, and using the rule of threes, make sure that you see the items
or a related one at least three times. Some of these little truisms might
be: any aspect or mutual reception between the man’s moon to his Venus,
or the woman’s sun to her mars, and looking for interchanges here in
natal and progressed to the moment charts. I would recommend here that you
use a terteriary progression(standard Quotidian) because of the moon derivative
of the chart, and again if you are able, a declination chart to see the possible
sharp edges of the relationship. Part of marriage often indicates the place
by house that you met a significant partner. A partnership is more enduring
with a fixed sign or fixed decanate on the 1st or 7th, but not if Mars or
Uranus is in the 7th.
E. I look at the actual placements of
the planets in the individual charts to determine potential relationships
to partnerships and compare these the see if I see potential clashes.
F. Next I do a planetary interchange
chart, which is a comparison chart using your client’s asc as the mast
and then look for comparison relationships.
A good relationship between the two suns is worthwhile
in measuring essence goals. My wife’s and mine(we’ve been pretty
happily married for almost 30 years) is sextile, and accurately given a chance
we work it out. Herein those retrogrades help me with my Leo wife!!)
Each of the planets has a specific marriage relationship. Use of Townley’s
PLANETS IN LOVE, can be immensely useful here check as a check and balance.
G. Just as the Moon’s conjunction before birth has an affect on dealing with change, so does the first conjunction afterwards show what to expect in a partnership.
This can be used in a chart of synastry, or each
chart, or the point of starting the relationship, or even a horary chart.
ASTROLOGY IS ASTROLOGY.
H. If “C” looks promising,
then I develop a marriage sun chart,
which is a completely different way of comparing
chart structures between potential partnerships: individual, group or mundane.
I. You may need to calculate Horary
Event Chart for what is happening.
J. You may need to calculate Horary
What do I really want right now and will I get it chart?
K. You will
need to tertiarily progress birthchart to the current ingress, and viewed
both as relationship action and static potential using both longitude and
declination charts.
L. More exotic measurements(for me):
fixed stars, more on Lilith in the two charts, transits for the next 3 months,
general solar arc and Naibod secondary progressions for the next year.
