Introduction

One and one make more than two, and when two people get together a third party emerges: the couple. As a couple, a team, a dynamic duo, you both become part of something larger that can give you greater power and potential than either has alone. As the two of you become one, a totally new horoscope emerges, called the relationship chart, which describes what you have become by linking up, what your special, mutual universe looks like from inside and out. It may be very different than either of you alone, or it may just reinforce you both, but it is what you are together, so embrace it. When you move to a new location, you modify that chart, and your image together and what you can do with it may change significantly. As with your individual charts, you have an inside that doesn't change with a move and an outside that changes with locality. To see if you have the best possible fit in this new place, here's a look at both. The relationship chart for a couple is calculated in much the same way as a regular birth chart, only using the midpoint in time between the two birth dates, and the midpoint in space between the two birthplaces. When a relationship chart is relocated in Horizons, it keeps its own angles rather than using the angles of the relocated natal chart (as is done for other chart types).

Angles in Signs

You'll be larger than life here and bring activity and raised spirits just by stepping into the room together. There's everything to be gained by a laugh and a smile and not much by succumbing to the urge to act your perceived size. The more modest you are about your congeniality, the more mileage you'll get from it here.

Midheaven in Taurus

You're likely to be considered warm and friendly, and an image of reliability will attach itself to you, at least at first. Partially it's because of your personal appearance, but much has to do with your mutual ability to follow up on professional promises. If you're known for gift-giving, it means you'll be an attraction no matter what you're handing out.

Planets on Angles

Any planet on one of the angles (Ascendant, MC, Descendant, IC) of your relocation chart will be greatly strengthened when you are at the place of relocation, very much like if it were on the angles of your natal chart. If the Sun is on an angle, you'll have more confidence; if Mars is there you'll have more energy, and so on. Moreover, you don't have to actually go there to get the effect. Having a planet on a relocated angle will accentuate that place for you even if you are only doing business with people there over the phone. You have an accentuated quality to people in such places that you may not have elsewhere.

Relationship Saturn On AS (Strong)

You show your most severe side together here -- perhaps as teachers, perhaps as authority figures, but definitely an image of experience and restraint. If you're trying to produce new tricks, better to do it individually, then get together as the final last word on everything. Just remember to smile.

Saturn in First House

This may be the place to slow yourselves down a bit, get away from the rat race, and achieve a little more personal focus. You may find yourselves dressing simpler, showing more reserve, adding gravitas while killing the frills. You'll be taken more seriously here, because you'll look (at first glance, anyway) like you've got it all together.

Relationship Pluto Sqr IC (Strong)

Small confrontations get blown out of proportion here when they become public, so keep your private battles private and settle out of court whenever you can. Keep the ball in your court, as when it escapes you, who knows where it will land? If you can't control yourselves, what hope of control is there?

Pluto in Twelfth House

Power plays will get you nowhere here, so avoid them. What looks like a pushover could be the tip of an iceberg waiting to wreck the both of you, so when you feel like brushing aside that fly, make sure it's not attached to a nuke. When push comes to shove, shove off -- at least in this environment.

Relationship Jupiter Sxt DS (Strong)

You have the gift here of presenting just enough of yourselves to seem like you're unfathomable but not so much that you waste your resources or other people's time. Your graceful, positive attitude shows without being preachy, and you teach by example, by the way you move, by the manners you display.

Jupiter in Fourth House

Get a big hacienda here, because a small one just won't do, and you'll be adding on together no matter what you start out with. There's just a natural urge to expand your footprint here and claim more territory at home, so be sure you put yourselves into someplace with room to expand. You'll need room for all the largesse you suddenly feel....

Relationship Venus Sxt AS (Medium)

Accessorizing yourselves is what it's all about here, and you can do that physically or by the company you keep. The trick is to do it effortlessly, without any attempt to impress, as it all falls into place. What one lacks, the other picks up on without skipping a beat, from one play to the next.

Venus in Eleventh House

If you want to be in with the in crowd here, it's your call -- or you can create your own as you go along. There's a high level of close friendship on tap if you choose, or you can just make it your own perfect hideaway by yourselves. It's what good memories and happy returns are made of, whether you visit or stay.

Relationship Moon Tri MC (Mild)

You can probably maintain career efforts here with less emotional stress than other places, even to the point of truly enjoying putting yourselves into easy contact with the outside world. Your feelings together seem to particularly suit your occupation, and it shows, so your inside world works to support your outside image.

Moon in Fifth House

This can be a great place to let your feelings loose and get energized and creative. Your mutual juices flow very naturally here, and creative efforts find a fertile playground. There's a vacation quality to it all, even if you're working, so you can dress down, let your hair down, and generally get down to it.

Relationship Saturn Sqr IC (Mild)

If you're too self-critical out in the open here, people at large will come to believe and share your doubts, not something you want to have happen. However much improvement you both may need, keep it between you and let the dirty laundry remain in the laundry room, so you don't get hung out to dry.

Relationship Uranus Sxt AS (Mild)

Unusual friends and an easy way of opening new methods of networking and communication are something you just slide into easily here, without making a big thing of it. You can get away with moves others might get in trouble for by being so obviously above-board and acceptable that if you say so, it must be OK.

Uranus in Eleventh House

You'll likely attract, and be attracted to, a small but unique crowd of individualists here that you might have earlier thought to be quite off your beaten path. The fact is, it's all different here, and so are you and what you are interested in holding close to you. It's about the spark in the heart.
