Chapter 1 General Background

�

John's Sun in Libra in 6^th house

As a Libra, you are naturally interested in living your life together with another. Being in a partnership completes you. You seek harmony, and are willing to make considerable compromises for the sake of your loved one - though you are independent enough when it comes down to it. You tend to avoid confrontations and you try to get what you want by winning your partner over with your many persuasive techniques. It could pay off to be more straightforward. Your views have priority in matters of taste.

�

The major area for your self-expression is in your working environment. You are strongly motivated to be of assistance to others, and tend to take on a leadership role.

�

Yoko's Sun in Aquarius in 5^th house

As an Aquarius you have a free and independent spirit. For you marriage is OK - that is what people do - but though loyal to your partner, you have difficulty integrating your private love-life with an equally great need - your friends. Friendship means more to you than romantic love. You simply do not understand possessiveness, and you often put an icy distance between yourself and your partner when challenged emotionally. You need a partner who understands and accepts your social priorities. Ideas are more important than feelings.

Female: In some cultural traditions women have tended to repress their individuality and to project aspects of their personal identity onto their partner. Women with the Sun in Aquarius are often attracted to unusual and independent men, on the fringe of society, who have an emotionally remote quality. Actually, you will find that in the long run, you also prefer the freedom gained by maintaining an emotional distance.

�

Self-expression is extremely important to you and this manifests itself in your ability to project yourself and enjoy life. This gives skills in creativity and with children.

�

John's Sun in Yoko's 1^st house

You have a profoundly stimulating effect on Yoko's life. You bring her vitality and energy and make her more self-aware. She expects you to take the lead and light the way, and this gives you a stronger sense of your own importance.

�

Yoko's Sun in John's 12^th house

You make John aware of the importance of subtle emotional and spiritual factors as a basic power behind existence. Circumstances in your relationship suggest that an element of sacrifice or isolation is necessary for your true self-realization.

�

John's Sun Conjuncts North Moon Node

You may have a special role to play with concerned groups in the world, and as such you see yourself in a universal light, or may function as a figurehead in some way. There is a strong sense of personal destiny, though results are more spiritual than material.

�

Yoko's Sun Conj Mercury

Considerable self-esteem is invested in your ideas and opinions. You may be very creative but have difficulty seeing matters objectively. It is not always easy for you to see things from your partner's point of view. Personal pride interferes with communication.

Your ideal is an intelligent and witty man, with the ability to express his deepest thoughts - though this, of course, is a better description of your own abilities.

John's Sun Opposites Yoko's Uranus

John Although this is not a major factor in your relationship you may often be disturbed by unpredictable actions and events precipitated by Yoko. This can be very interesting and stimulating for you but also rather unsettling. You will not be permitted to indulge in self-satisfaction - she wants to provoke change in you. This can be a consciousness-raising factor in your life together but there would be more harmony if you were accepted as you are. Clashes of style and personality arise in which you feel quite threatened, as Yoko tends to make it clear that she will not accept any limitations just because you are together and may demonstrate this point quite dramatically through alarming displays of independence.

When you express yourself you will often find Yoko reacting in a very provocative manner and this has a tendency to keep you constantly off-balance.

�

Yoko You tend to exacerbate the instabilities in John's inner life because of your provocative attitude. You seem to want him to make changes in his nature just for the sake of change and this naturally creates tensions between you. There is something so different about you that he finds himself constantly surprised, stimulated and challenged. For your part there is something in him which evokes an alien quality in you. This means that at times of disturbance you can suddenly create an enormous distance between yourself and John which in turn creates an explosive atmosphere, which can mean that being separate is sometimes easier than being together. Part of the purpose of your relationship is for you both to become awakened and open to change, but, if harmony is important to you, then it is up to you to ease stress by lessening the electric charge between you.

Your tendency to challenge the way John expresses himself can turn him into a nervous wreck.

John's Sun Squares Yoko's Pluto

JohnThis influence is at its strongest at times of personal transformation. If you were born within a year or so of Yoko you will find yourself projecting your own tendency to lurch from crisis to crisis onto her. Whatever the age difference this will be an intense relationship, often based on issues of power and powerlessness. Avoid battles of will - which Yoko will win because she is not frightened, as you are, of contemplating the destruction of the relationship if matters really should come to a head. She tends to evoke a ruthless self-analysis from you which can be exhausting for you both. Actually you awaken a deep insecurity in her to which she responds by reversing the tables, keeping you off-balance. Avoid practising mutual therapy on each other.

You may find that spontaneous expressions of your identity through creativity, etc., are sabotaged by Yoko who subconsciously feels insecure in your company.

�

Yoko This is quite a powerful influence on a psychological level and it is expressed as a compulsive urge in you to change and transform John's character and identity . Whilst he may himself have a latent urge for drastic personal transformation, at whatever the cost, this is exacerbated by your own anxiety in the face of the psychological pressures which you both undergo in the relationship. There is something in the very character of John which awakens an inner unease in you, and you are subconsciously driven to try and control him. As this is impossible, this leads you to extreme states of desperation and powerlessness. Avoid the role of therapist if you can, as it only leads further and further into uncharted depths. Being together means uncompromising transformation for you both.

Sun first: You may have a negative response to John when he asserts himself but you should avoid the urge to get him to change if you want to avoid exhausting power battles.

Chapter 2: Emotional Influence

�

John's Moon in Aquarius in 11^th house

With your Moon In Aquarius you have an electric presence which really peps up the environment. You are loyal and committed in a partnership, but you definitely don't want to be smothered or prevented from pursuing the friendships which also draw upon your loyalties. Under emotional pressure you freeze up, and withdraw to another planet. You need to tune more into your emotions instead of analysing everything rationally.

Some male cultural traditions force men to repress the caring and nurturing sides of their nature, represented by the Moon. You tend to evoke remoteness or even imbalance in your partner, because you feel uncomfortable when expressing your own feelings. This makes the partner feel unwanted or superfluous.

�

You are very emotionally absorbed in your friendships and social networks. You have a profound need to provide shelter to those who need support.

�

Yoko's Moon in Sagittarius in 3^rd house

With your Moon in Sagittarius you need a lot of personal freedom in a relationship. You want a partner who can show you the world and enhance your understanding of life. You do not want a partner who tells you what to do, or who is possessive, or who is dependent. You are very emotionally direct - perhaps because you are a lover of truth - but you tend to ride roughshod over the sensitivities of your partner. A little diplomacy would go a long way.

�

You are very emotionally involved in matters concerning communication and local issues in your environment. Siblings play an important role in your emotional well-being.

�

John's Moon in Yoko's 4^th house

You are very absorbed in Yoko's family environment and roots and she awakens an awareness of your own family heritage and the role it has played in your emotional development. Your house and family-life are extremely important for your sense of security in this relationship.

�

Yoko's Moon in John's 8^th house

You make deep emotional demands on John and force him to examine his feelings which, under normal circumstances, would never come to the surface. This relationship brings psychological growth and understanding to you both, though many emotional crises arise. Profound changes in your emotional and economic well-being force periodic adjustments to your life together.

�

John's and Yoko's Moon Squares Mercury

You are a very emotional person and this tinges the way you communicate. You may sway other people with your feelings and influence them with your mood, but in stress situations you blow it, losing coherence because your feelings predominate over everything else.

John, you are instinctively attracted to intelligent and communicative women, but you will often find them becoming emotional or irrational. This is your subjective view - you may be unaware of the strength of the emotions you arouse when you communicate.

�

John's Moon Opposites Pluto

You have an extraordinarily-intense emotional nature and tend to lurch from crisis to crisis - at least in the early part of your life. You subconsciously re-create the charged emotional atmosphere of your childhood, and your partner is unwillingly drawn into this abyss with you. You are haunted by the conviction that the relationship will not survive, and this leads you into manipulative behavior, which tends to undermine the very emotional harmony you are trying to protect. You may eliminate these negative emotional habits through therapeutic activities.

Male: You are attracted to a powerful woman with a magnetic and erotically charged aura. If your partner seems to become emotionally unstable or traumatised you must know that this is because of your own unconscious survival strategy in which you freeze out your woman emotionally, creating a vacuum in place of your commitment.

�

Yoko's Moon Sextiles Saturn, Squares Neptune

Emotionally you are a mature and committed person, quite prepared to take the responsibility a home and family would require. You may have some difficulty expressing your emotions spontaneously, but your partner will be in no doubt that you take the relationship seriously. You soften up in long-term relationships, and your partner will find you very supportive.

�

Negative moods tend to drag you down all too easily. You tend to perpetuate feelings of discontent, sadness or martyrdom from your own childhood, particularly in relation to your mother. Your tendency to isolate yourself when under emotional pressure creates a depressive atmosphere. Ensure that you are involved in something creative and meaningful and strive to avoid emotional swamps - they're just bad habits.

�

John's Moon Conjuncts Yoko's Saturn

John On first meeting there is a reluctance to get involved. You sense that this relationship entails a commitment that you are not sure you want to make. Perhaps it could be termed a "karmic" bond - there is at least no doubt that being with Yoko is a learning process which brings a great deal of emotional difficulty. She does not know how to react to you when you express your feelings - it awakens her latent fears and inhibitions. She thus reacts by limiting your emotional expression and assuming a parental role which can be very limiting for you. Yoko wants you to grow up but it hurts - and perhaps she herself should learn to be more dependant and child-like. Once the bond is made in this relationship, it tends to stick, and in the long term this can be a very developmental process for you, if you need to attain more maturity. Together you tend to develop pessimistic attitudes towards the future which encourage an attachment to material things.

You will find that Yoko reacts to any displays of dependence on your part with a certain severity - you will be forced to develop emotional self-sufficiency.

�

Yoko This is undoubtedly a difficult contact on an emotional level - especially for John. He feels himself limited and judged by you ... cornered somehow, by the rigid structures you create which stifle his growth. Perhaps it is because you feel that the child in him needs to grow up and that he can only reach maturity through discipline. In reality your own insecurity is awakened by his emotional spontaneity and the parental role you adopt becomes a way of avoiding feelings and only serves to perpetuate immaturity and dependence. There may well be a strong bond between you, a sense that you know and belong to each other, but you must rise to the emotional challenge - learn sensitivity and vulnerability from John - if you are to avoid stunting the growth of the relationship.

John plays the child and you the parent - show your weaknesses and open yourself to his care.
