This relationship finds its partners vying for the leadership role. But although it is true that they are tough with each other, mutual respect and understanding often emerge after several confrontations between these two. The relationship’s focus is likely to be finding an authority acknowledged by both partners. Should a basic set of principles be agreed upon between Gemini III’s and Virgo III’s, perhaps hammered out on the hard anvil of experience, the relationship may become a strong, firm and enduring bond. Passion and intensity can certainly sweep both Gemini III and Virgo III partners away in love affairs and romance, but for the most part, willpower and common sense master emotion guaranteeing quick responses and giving the relationship a logical and discriminating outlook. Rarely will either of these partners allow their feelings to urge them into activities ultimately counterproductive to their best interests, either as individuals or as a duo. Marriages between Gemini III’s and Virgo III’s can be based on pragmatic principles as long as both partners contribute to the marriage equally. The constant difficulty regarding a Gemini III-Virgo III marriage is that Gemini III’s may be gone a good deal of the time, or may skip out on work, leaving their Virgo III spouse to finish things up. These partners are capable of being excellent parents to their children, both inspiring and educating. Setting up open channels with their children, and keeping these avenues open throughout their adolescent years, will be a great and rewarding challenge. Although capable of being excellent friends, Gemini III’s and Virgo III’s may not have either the time or the need to develop this kind of relationship. At work, on the other hand, these two can make excellent business partners and co-workers, with Gemini IIII’s contributing financial and worldly skills and Virgo III’s contributing the hard work, dedication and application needed to bring an enterprise success. Family relationships in this combination, particularly parent-child matchups, are fraught with emotional difficulties but are often more positive than either partner is prepared to admit.

This combination will prove quite a challenge for its partners, since it focuses on the concepts of feeling and spirit—neither of them areas in which Leo II’s and Virgo III’s feel particularly comfortable. The relationship will certainly bring out previously repressed emotions that have either been buried or hidden for a long time, particularly negative emotions. Its focus may be the difficulty Leo II’s and Virgo III’s generally have with feelings, which these tough individuals often see as messes they would rather avoid. In this combination, however, that will be impossible. The relationship between Leo II’s and Virgo III’s will confront them with an area of life that they need to explore further and, ultimately, to work out in the end. Fortunately, the process will have a certain flow to it, so that the lessons this relationship has to offer will occur before the partners even realize what’s happening. Love affairs, friendships and marriage will have major problems. Virgo III’s are oriented toward mental activity and practicality, and although Leo II individuals admire and are attracted to intelligence, they actually do best when they rely on their intuition. In marriage, friendship and love, Leo II’s are rarely strong enough to stand up to Virgo III’s constant criticism or relentless logic. Leo II’s temper, anger and hot-headedness, meanwhile, will be very difficult for Virgo III’s to handle in the long-run. This couple’s interactions often alternate between violent emotional outbursts to frustrated silences reflecting repressed anger. Family matchups in this combination, especially between parents and children, are often highly confrontational. Virgo III children can be very critical of their Leo II parents, who are prone to being authoritarian, controlling and strict. Should Virgo III adults be the parents in the situation with Leo II children, they are likely to find their Leo II children very wild and uncontrollable. Their attempts at disciplining them will rarely meet with success. Career matchups betwen Leo II and Virgo III may succeed in avoiding the sensitive subject of feelings and emotions, but the Leo II and Virgo III partners will still feel a certain emotional wariness around each other, which can make them tread a bit too lightly in each other’s company. Otherwise, direct Leo II individuals energy and Virgo III individuals’ attentiveness can meld well in the workplace. These two can be successful at a variety of tasks, preferably objective ones in which the job just needs to get done without much fuss or bother.

The Week of Balanced Strength, Aug. 3-10

This relationship has two strongly distinct sides, and its energies oscillate between them—between light and dark, outer and inner, intuition and emotion. Little attempt is made to tone down the contrasts between Cancer I’s and Leo II’s or to arrive at compromise or synthesis between them. Understanding the wide swings imposed by the Cancer I-Leo II combination’s unpredictable, volatile, pendulum-like nature, and learning to go with their flow, will go far toward creating peace here. Cancer I’s will have a much easier time with the pursuit of this relationship; they may even enjoy the relationship’s variety and unpredictability. Leo II’s, on the other hand, have a strong need for balance. As a result, Leo II’s will tense up and feel uncomfortable around Cancer I’s, resisting its natural viability, and creating the potential for conflict between the two which cause the relationship to become highly confrontational, tension-filled, volatile and long-suffering. Cancer I’s are rather aggressive when it comes to their romantic and sexual pursuits while Leo II’s are much more wary and suspicious about who they find themselves involved with. Thus, Cancer I’s may end up scaring Leo II’s away temporarily before they eventually come around to accepting the relationship. Love affairs and romance between Cancer I’s and Leo II’s are often highly romantic, involving deep, intense emotional interaction and exciting and often risky activities, whether in career areas or out in the wild. Cancer I folks feel most comfortable in a home base setting, but they strongly yearn for projects and experiences that will sweep them off their feet or whisk them away on a magic carpet. Leo II’s may be just the opposite of Cancer I’s in this regard, spending their time breaking down barriers and reaching new heights of achievement but all the while dreaming of a warm fire and a comfortable home and bed. Therefore, an ideal arrangement for these two would be to spend long periods first at home and then elsewhere, perhaps passing one part of the year in their own city or country and another part away or abroad. The more activities that Cancer I’s and Leo II’s can share, the better: both love affairs and marriages between Cancer I’s and Leo II’s tend to be most successful when the Cancer I-Leo II partners are also engaged in a shared career endeavour. Cancer I-Leo II lovers who also work together may not consider marriage a necessary step for their relationship. Cancer I–Leo II siblings will often complement each other productively, but more outside of the family setting than within it. The relationship’s extreme unpredictability, swings and oscillations can generate domestic instability within a home or workplace setting, but Cancer I-Leo II friends and schoolmates are more likely to bring excitement and variety of mood to a place. Co-workers in this combination can generate upset in the workplace by keeping others from concentrating as well as distract each other from doing their job, but socially they may be the life of the party.

The Week of the Empath, Jun. 25-Jul. 2

Gemini III–Cancer I relationship has a magical quality that at times seems too good to be true. Rarely arousing envy, it instead seems to make many of those around the Gemini III-Cancer I individuals happy, perhaps because they are enchanted by its near-fairytale quality. One might expect a certain air of unreality here between Gemini III-Cancer I’s relationship, but actually a realistic approach often substantiates the magic and gives it direction. Rather, a sense of rightness, a feeling that these two belong together, infects this couple and those who observe them. Such certainty is rare and should be treasured. Cancer I’s will find themselves motivated by the electric dynamism of Gemini III individuals, who in turn will benefit from Cancer I’s empathic ability and skill in creating a cozy, secure home base. Love affairs and romance between Gemini III’s and Cancer I’s can hit new highs here. Highly blissful states may be familiar to feeling-oriented Cancer I people; Gemini III’s may have experienced glimmerings of such feelings in the adventuresome pursuit of external goals but they now encounter them for the first time in a real live human being in Cancer I’s. Should a love affair or romantic relationship between Gemini III and Cancer I end, the Gemini III and Cancer I partners will experience its loss as seriously and deeply tragic and they both could have a very difficult time getting over it. This is especially true if one of the partners is called back from the affair to another primary relationship, especially if this is a marriage involving children, career or social responsibilities. Such a viable love relationship as the one between Gemini III’s and Cancer I’s can obviously evolve into marriage down the road, but unfortunately, some of the magic and bliss may be lost in the process, resulting in disappointment or disillusion in both of the partners. The Gemini III and Cancer I spouses may look back longingly to bygone rapture, wondering why pots and pans, bills and diaper-changing ever had to be added to the equation. Gemini III and Cancer I siblings and friends of this combination are capable of having a very magical relationship. Cancer I’s know intuitively when their Gemini III partner needs comfort, sympathy or consolation, and the seductive and cajoling manner of Gemini III’s can help bring Cancer I’s out of melancholia and depressive states and moods. Working relationships between Gemini III’s and Cancer I’s generally demand a harder, more pragmatic approach than is possible in this combination.

The Week of Leadership, Aug. 11-18

There is a need in this relationship between Pisces-Aries Cusp and Leo III to take wayward energies in hand and to shape and direct them. Passions run high here between Pisces-Aries Cusp and Leo III, but any overbearing energies, whether within the relationship or outside it, will not be submitted to; those passions must be mastered, so long as this is achieved with dignity and choice. In the best-case scenario, the combination of Pisces-Aries with Leo III can give a project direction or can bring together subtle feelings and define them. No attempt should be made to break this matchup’s strongly independent spirit. Since it will be extremely difficult for this relationship’s partners to admit their mistakes, contention is likely to arise between Pisces-Aries and Leo III’s, with each person claiming something like infallibility. The end of a knock-down, drag-out argument may come in the form of exhaustion or uneasy truce but rarely of compromise or apology. Perhaps the most realistic approach is just to agree to disagree, or at least to agree not to argue. Unfortunately, this will do little to help solve the relationship’s problems and volatility. Hard work will be required to keep the channels of communication open and to move toward building acceptance and understanding. between Pisces-Aries and Leo III’s Both Pisces-Aries Cusp and Leo III are emotionally deep individuals who live in a world of complex feelings. The passionate aspect of an erotic relationship between Pisces-Aries Cusp and Leo III may well become an outlet for each of them to express such deep, complex and intense emotions and feelings, whether those feelings are positive or negative, and their relationship may accordingly prove highly satisfying and even long-lasting. The control of tumultuous energies being crucial in this combination, however, strong emotions that threaten the relationship’s stability will probably lead to its permanent breakup. Even so, it may reach an intensity that both partners will remember for a lifetime. Should some kind of balance or direction of the determined and willful energies present in the relationship between Pisces-Aries and Leo III be possible, much can be achieved here. Whether in friendships or love affairs between Pisces-Aries Cusp and Leo III, the key to deepening trust in this relationship may lie in the area of admitting mistakes and weaknesses. Any act of forgiveness here, any resistance to a tendency to blame or lay on guilt trips, may prove a major triumph for these two. Ultimately, the taming of the tiger requires perseverance and respect.

The Week of Determination, Jan. 3-9

The matchup between Cancer I’s and Capricorn II’s plays an important role for its partners by teaching them not only how to interact socially with others but, more crucial still, the value of the relationship itself. Both Cancer I and Capricorn II personalities can be single-minded about their own personal success; here they will learn to consider another person’s needs and wants other than their own, to be more selfless, diplomatic and to negotiate, as well as the value of give-and-take within an interpersonal relationship or social situation. If both Cancer I and Capricorn II are adept students, this could be a very rewarding, successful combination. The danger here is that the Cancer I and Capricorn II partners will instead choose to cut themselves off from the rest of the world and from other people and will retreat to what they see as a safe space for themselves. However, it may not be as safe as they think. Away from the influence of their friends and family, Cancer I’s may act out the frustrations, anger and other repressed emotions and feelings of their partner in this combination. Cancer I’s are prone to pick up unconsciously and very quickly on the emotions and feelings of Capricorn II’s, expressing them as if they were their very own. The personal problems of both the Cancer I and Capricorn II partners also tend to become magnified the more time they spend alone together and as a result, the relationship can become emotionally codependent and unhealthy. For reasons of mental health, then, the Cancer I-Capricorn II pair should build bridges to the outside world. Love affairs, marriage and friendships will have some problems breaking through the partners’ armour. In childhood, both Cancer I and Capricorn II have commonly suffered from the disapproving attitudes of parents, teachers and possibly other authority figures, making them build a tough and resistant exterior in attempts to protect and shield themselves from harsh criticisms. The task of all of these relationships between Cancer I and Capricorn II is slowly to build bonds of commonality and trust that will dissolve these barriers. After making the effort to connect with the other partner, whether as a lover, spouse or friend, the Cancer I and Capricorn II partners may eventually begin to interact better with other friends and family members. In family relationships, especially parent-child, Cancer I’s and Capricorn II’s often try to break with old cycles and patterns that make them repeat past mistakes, and to act in less oppressive and more kindly and accepting ways. Boss-employee and teacher-student relationships should also be softened and brought down to a more human level involving openness, empathy, compassion and sharing.

The Week of Mystery & Imagination, Jan. 17-22

The dynamics of the relationship between Sagittarius III’s and Capricorn-Aquarius Cusp work best, perhaps, when the partners accept their own idiosyncrasies and put them to work for them, without excuses or holding back. Many of the problems that exist between Sagittarius III’s and Capricorn-Aquarians will clear up once they stop trying to act conventionally or to be accepted by those whose respect they crave—after all, once these two begin helping each other, they have quite a bit going for them career wise. Lively and creative, Capricorn-Aquarians are good at helping the serious Sagittarius III’s relax after work. Capricorn-Aquarius, for their part, are not always able to realize their fantastic schemes, and here Sagittarius III can be of great help. Nonetheless, the road is not an easy one for Sagittarius III and Capricorn-Aquarius Cusp interpersonally; although they can both be a joy to each other in many respects, they can also get on each other’s nerves—with dire results. Capricorn-Aquarians tend to vent their anger in a single, explosive reaction followed by a series of smaller aftershocks, whereas Sagittarius III’s anger simmers away with ease, and inevitably turns into depression if not released in a healthy manner. In love affairs and marriages, the Sagittarius III-Capricorn Aquarius match up can be torn between a desire for a quiet and conventional life and a real need to be outrageous and flamboyant. Such conflicts between wants and needs make the relationship between Sagittarius III’s and Capricorn-Aquarius look like a round peg being forced into a square hole. Generally at the root of the problem between these two are certain childhood scripts or parental expectations that continue to hold one or both partners in a vice-like grip. Learning to be firm and bidding a fond farewell to parental guilt trips will be difficult for these two, but is necessary if self-development is to continue. Friendships and sibling relationships between Sagittarius III’s and Capricorn-Aquarius Cusp, particularly of the same sex, revel in upsetting adults. Playing pranks is more the pair’s style than outright rebellion. Mischievous to the extreme, they are never happier than when they are pushing someone’s buttons. The onset of maturity is often clearly marked by the cessation of such activities.
