Dear friends:

Welcome to the Compatibility and Conflict Report and the myriad ways of expressing the continual dance of life. This report is based on methods employed through years of working with couples, observing relationships and analyzing the lives of the famous and infamous. The contacts described within this program are certainly not all the combinations possible between two people. But they are the core patterns of relationship analysis that I begin with in determining areas of compatibility and potential conflict between two people. I analyze these basic points of contact to arrive at my interpretation of what is central for an enduring relationship or for one that teaches something of importance and leaves a lasting impression. Additional parts, patterns and interpretations will be added to this report in the future.

In many of the interpretations, I've described the highest potential that one can strive for with a particular combination. Yet it is only a potential and we are human and have complex emotions and contradictory issues and reactions at any given time in our lives. Use this report as a guideline to make your relationships as rewarding and fulfilling as you possibly can. And know that your relationships are simply mirroring your own soul's struggles. Each relationship will fulfill something within you and challenge you to look at your shadow and transform yourself. Sometimes this means staying with a partner or a relationship and sometimes the learning process requires that you let the relationship go. These decisions are never easy and they should only be made after careful and truthful introspection, reflection and guidance. But ultimately, these decisions are yours and yours alone to make. Remember that variety is the spice of life and that although you may have some difficult areas of relating with a partner, it is in those areas that you can learn the most about yourself and others and grow in wisdom. It would be a mistake to look for a partner with whom you have no disagreements at all and this kind of relationship is a fantasy, rarely if ever, a reality.

Chapter 1: Enjoyment, Closeness and Lasting Impressions

This section is based on the idea that there are three basic needs in every relationship:

* Interest, energy and stimulation or sexuality.
* Enjoyment, abundance, expansion of awareness and happiness.
* Patterns for commitment, consistency, teaching each other or reaffirming something essential one for the other and vice versa.

The sort between your charts is for eleven separate aspects that define energy, fun and lasting impressions between you. Most strong relationships have at least four to six of these aspects between their charts.

Melanie's Moon Trine Antonio's Mars:

You feel more energized, even exhilarated, when you are together. In fact, the intent of this aspect is to activate your moods and stimulate new feelings in each other. Perhaps, even feelings you have never felt before or not in a long time. There is always likely to be a charge of energy between you and you have a way of reaching each other on a deeply emotional level. You will tend to generate energy when you are together the two of you can be counted upon to take action or be in the lead, when you are part of a group. In fact, you may be involved in social causes or any project where goal-setting and forward progress is necessary. There is a healthy, normal tendency to confront issues that arise between you. Resolving conflict will be easier to handle with this aspect. Although there is a marvelous naturally occurring energy between you, don’t allow habit to make it dull. Be sure to plan new or physical activities together to regenerate and rejuvenate your relationship and keep it fully alive. With a bit of conscious attention, this aspect is excellent for maintaining newness in your day-to-day life with each other. You will both want to create an atmosphere of aliveness and vitality when you are together. The expression of emotion between you is typically direct or candid and in that way involves a healthy release of emotions.

Antonio's Sun Square Melanie's Asc.:

This aspect brings challenge to each of your natural ways of expressing your personality and character. Your interaction can at times be uncomfortable because of an initial inability to understand where the other is coming from in some important area of your life together. It will take a greater measure of tolerance and respect for differences before you can attain harmony in your relationship. At times, you will appear to be going in very different, even opposite directions. There is no relationship law that says you must always approach things in one particular way only. The essence of this aspect asks you to allow each other to be who you are and express yourselves freely, without undue interference from your partner. At the same time, the aspect will challenge your ability for tolerance and different ways of expressing and approaching life situations. Alleviate the potential difficulties of this aspect by really listening to your partner and appreciating who they are and what they are trying to accomplish. You may discover something you didn’t know before.

Antonio's Moon Trine Melanie's Saturn:

The intention behind this aspect is building strong, lasting foundations and developing and maintaining emotional and material security. Mutual support for and commitment to the rules you’ve agreed to for your relationship will be easier to keep and are valuable to both of you. There is a natural tolerance for the inevitable problems of life and a decided lack of whining. Resolving issues and finding solutions together will become a core talent. Just be sure you don’t make more problems for yourselves because you’re so good at dealing with them or take on more responsibility than you ought. Others will find you a dependable pair and will look up to you and respect you. It would be easy for you, as a team, to take a leadership role of some kind in the community, since organization, reliability and planning are natural talents for you. This aspect contributes to longevity because the inclination to build a solid relationship is inherent in the combination. There is a greater chance of permanence for all your endeavors together because of the time, care and attention you put into them. With your skills of maintenance and self-improvement, you will accomplish much to ensure the longevity of your bond.

Antonio's Mars Trine Melanie's Jupiter:

Risk, adventure and learning are important ingredients in your life together. The intent of this aspect is to broaden your horizons and your experiences through shared inquiry. You are meant to understand your limits by exceeding them in various ways in the course of your relationship with each other. Traveling and physical activities are likely important features of being together since there is a natural restlessness to the aspect. It’s possible you could give in to too much laziness but it will bottle up your positive output. The mind/body balance is one of the messages of this energetic combination. You are together to motivate, expand and develop your abilities, to take charge and lead yourselves or others into new territories of experience -- physically, mentally, even spiritually. You can spread optimism according to your means, and you may be philanthropic. There’s great joy and optimism in this combination and the two of you will continually see the silver lining in any black clouds that drift your way.

Melanie's Mars Opp Antonio's Asc.:

You will quickly sense the excitement and even the sexual tension of this aspect. Each of you will feel that your awareness is raised a notch by your association with the other. And there could be times when you feel that your partner is being too aggressive or pushy. You will have to learn to push back, maintain the boundaries comfortable for you, and let your partner know when the action is out of line or inappropriate. This aspect is prone to argumentativeness, so it would behoove you to establish some rules in advance for those inevitable times of conflict. You can use up the high energy generated by being project leaders in a mutual endeavor or community service. If you argue about how to initiate or proceed, then learn to take turns, so that each of you gets to do it their own way at least some of the time. Having independent projects will also alleviate the tension of your differing styles and approaches to situations. The beauty of this aspect is that you will form a clearer sense of who you are and what you stand for while being challenged by the individuality of your partner. Think about that when the two of you go head to head!

Chapter 2: Emotions and Communication Between You

These aspects detail the quality of the emotional connection and basic comfort between the two of you and your ease or difficulty in communicating, talking with each other and simply understanding where each of you is coming from. These aspects also describe how you reason together and resolve issues or problems.

Antonio's Moon in Aries, and Melanie's is in Aquarius:

You are each blessed with a natural, easygoing and similar emotional style. You share some of the same rhythms and habits that will make daily contact more comfortable for each of you. Timing will not be as much of an issue, in that you can more easily and quickly respond to each other's emotional levels of excitement or energy and empathize with each other's disappointments, in ways that both of you feel met by the other. You can fire each other up and cool each other down because you'll frequently be riding the same emotional wave. You're able to support each other when feelings overflow. Basically, you both seek the same kinds of comforts and can relate easily to each other's peculiarities. In fact, you can accommodate your partner's idiosyncrasies with humor and even turn them into jokes that become part of the private fabric of your relationship life. If you share living space, you are likely to have domestic tastes that match easily. Environments that comfort and support you are more often than not, shared by your partner. Social connections and the types of people you choose to interact with will be similar. And you will appreciate the fact that you love the same interests and are able to share and enjoy numerous different activities together. This is not to say that at times you won't be totally perplexed by each other's reactions because there are other factors in each of your personalities that must be considered. Also, if your upbringing is very different, it will add to the emotional adjustments you will need to make. Still, on the whole it seems easier for the two of you to make these adjustments.

Antonio's Mercury in Leo, and Melanie's is in Virgo:

Although you are attracted to each other, there are times when one of you will have great difficulty in figuring out where the other is coming from and what she (or he) is trying to tell you. Your styles of communication can be very different. The premises upon which you base your reasoning or the logic you use will often perplex your partner. Especially if you have to decide on projects or activities together, your differences can quickly become an issue between you. Talking things through slowly, step by step, will help each of you to understand how the other arrived at his (or her) opinion or conclusion. This will take patience but in the end will be worth it. What's more, by taking the time to really understand how your partner is thinking, you can not only learn something important about your partner but also get a different perspective yourself. You will also learn how your communication affects others, since your partner is probably not the only one who can't always understand what you're trying to say or figure out your logic. You've attracted this kind of relationship exactly for the purpose of fine tuning your thought processes and becoming more adept and flexible in the ways you have of communicating with others. This will be doubly useful if you are in a business that requires writing or regularly communicating with others.

Chapter 3: Fulfilling Each Other's Partnerships Needs

These aspects explain how you meet each other's desires and dreams in special partnerships and one-on-one relationships. These aspects are based on what your natal chart describes that you're looking for in any major relational interaction.

Melanie's Moon Opp Antonio's 7th house ruler, Mercury:

There is a subtle emotional communication between you. Often a subliminal understanding of each other’s moods means that you can intuit what your partner is about to say or do. And you communicate quite easily on a wide variety of topics. There will, however, be a strong emotional content to your communication. And you will often want to discuss your feelings and concerns with each other. The quality of your communication with each other, not so much what you say but how you say it, will be important to the harmony between you. Domestic and family concerns are important topics between you and learning to problem-solve sensitive issues that one or both of you both feel strongly about, will be one of your challenges. Nurturing and creating spaces for development to take place - such as, but not limited to, safe environments for children, teens or women is a strong possibility. The common denominator in many of your projects is creating situations that are nurturing as well as informative. The intent of this aspect is to make you aware of the emotional undercurrents of language and how voice tone and inflection can make all the difference in your communication and how others receive it. Processing what you’ve learned separately and together will be necessary on a very regular basis. Whether or not you feel heard by your partner and that your opinion is acknowledged is another crucial learning in your relationship.

Melanie's Jupiter Sextile Antonio's 7th house ruler, Mercury:

You encourage a restlessness and wanderlust in each other and a yearning or seeking for a better quality of life. It’s very possible the two of you could travel together or somehow expand your normal boundaries by learning, teaching, writing and adventuring. You will appear to others as very positive in your outlook, broadminded and generous in nature. Your enthusiasm is infectious and you will encourage others to reach out or take greater risks for themselves. Guard against the tendency to exaggerate or make promises that you can’t or won’t keep. If you want to embellish your experiences or discoveries, then share your adventures in a positive framework such as storytelling, writing, art, photography or other such outlets. Sleep on any really important or major life decisions and always consider the long-term consequences of your actions, words or decisions. The intent of this aspect is to teach you wisdom through the experience of sharing adventures, making choices and testing your limits. Not all opportunities are created equal and not all of them are worth your time and energy. Some things are not worth the risk but others are. This aspect will teach you the difference between the two.

Melanie's Uranus Conj Antonio's 7th house ruler, Mercury:

You generate excitement and electricity when you are together. Others feel it and pick up on the excitement. Often you can be catalysts for creating awakenings of various kinds in people’s lives. This is a special gift, so be sure to use it carefully and curb your ego. Decide where you can put your creative energies to the best use. The life you share must have amusement and creativity in it or the two of you are in danger of being bored. Not likely! The innovation that you generate will find its way to excitement or you’ll create your own party filled with interesting people and lots of laughter. From time to time there will be abrupt or unexpected surprises. Sometimes it will be difficult to understand why things happen to you in the way that they do. There is strong streak of independence in this combination, so be sure to allow each other some personal and private spaces away from the other. It’s not unlikely that each of you will have activities that the other won’t be interested in. Or you may not enjoy all of your partner’s friends. The intent of this aspect is to find positive ways to express the brilliant, creative, though also eccentric energies that are enhanced in each of you by being together. You will learn the importance of maintaining your individual direction, expressing your individual ideas and respecting those of your partner. You have the capacity to accomplish very innovative and progressive changes in your lives and in the community in which you live.

Melanie's Neptune Square Antonio's 7th house ruler, Mercury:

Much of the way you communicate with each other is subliminal or non-verbal, which can be both good and not so good. It all depends on how you are able to handle it. There are subtleties between you that make for a great deal of sensitivity and can create bonds of closeness or, at times, confusion. You can feel mesmerized, hypnotized, dazzled or simply delighted by your partner. More than anything, don’t keep secrets from each other. This will create an invisible barrier between you that will nevertheless, damage the fragile trust and affection you have for each other. Trust is always tenuous in the beginning stages because we don’t know the other person well enough yet. You will be tempted to second-guess your partner at times, because you’ll be convinced you know what they want. Although you may be right some of the time, it is still important to check with your partner to be certain. Taking things for granted and expecting that your partner will always react the same way is not good for the health of your relationship. The core of this aspect provokes a deeper understanding of your soul’s purpose and the symbolic meaning of the events of your life and even the reason why you are together. Spirituality is an important ingredient and your relationship will not work well without some participation in spiritual rituals or themes.

Melanie's MC Opp Antonio's 7th house ruler, Mercury:

Initially, you will be attracted to each other through some form of communication, or a situation of learning, writing, commuting or social networking. Communication, learning, traveling, youth services, writing - any of these can be important interests or activities in the course of your ongoing relationship. How you relate and talk to each other, or your favorite topics of discussion will have some impact on either one or the other’s career. Balancing career commitments with leisure and at home time is another issue that will require your negotiation and communication. The intent of this aspect is to make you aware of the important role of language and communication in the overall successful functioning of your relationship. You are together to share knowledge, not only with each other but also within your community circle which can include, but is not limited to, local schools, churches, politics, programs for children or young adults or any number of other community services that attract your interest.

Antonio's Venus Conj Melanie's 7th house ruler, Pluto:

Your impact on each other will be powerful. You will want to share with others some of the surplus energy you generate together. With positive expression, this aspect can give you emotional and financial security. You can create a tremendous amount of good or you can get caught in the vortex of negative emotions. Set your standards early, so that there is no mistake as to what you want and expect from each other. Be sure to be honest with one another and adhere to your promises as much as you can. If you seriously violate a commitment you've made with each other, it will be most difficult to regain the trust of your partner. So think carefully before you breach your mutual contract. It could mean the end of your relationship as you know it. If you allow for the energy between you, you will bond on such a deep level that it could seem as if the two of you are one person. The intent of this aspect is to teach you total surrender and also total commitment. This is possible provided there is trust and you manage the fears of losing, such as - jealousy, possessiveness and trying to control your partner. If either of you grasps too tightly, the other partner will want to get away. This is a dynamic and powerful combination, not without both its emotional rewards and its pitfalls.

Antonio's Mars Square Melanie's 7th house ruler, Pluto:

You certainly will stimulate a strong reaction in each other. Hopefully it is a positive one. Before long you will push each other's buttons. This could be ultimately positive or it could be a problem. Together, you are focused on expressing and generating power and empowerment. It all depends on how much you've worked on your own stuff. The famous philosopher Socrates once said, "Know thyself," and this aspect will force a certain understanding of what makes you tick, or what makes your partner operate. You could get locked into something big and important with each other. You have that kind of energy. Just as easily, you could rub each other the wrong way. Willfulness is high, and each of you will have to learn to bend or yield, at least some of the time, if you want to get along. The intent of this aspect is to train you to use power wisely and to stop trying to control everything. First of all this is impossible and second of all, you'll make too many people angry with you. However, controlling yourself and your off-the-cuff reactions, is a very good idea indeed. If you are centered, the focus you naturally generate can make the two of you big players in your chosen career and also in your community. This aspect can be aggressive or use its amazing instincts to get what it wants and also to heal self and others by focusing intention and energy.

Antonio's Jupiter Trine Melanie's 7th house ruler, Pluto:

You can magnetize each other's hopes and manifest each other's dreams. Together, you make the impossible seem easy. You can harness your resources and make them grow or you can squander them and live beyond your means. It's really very much your choice. Always keep in mind your intention or your hearts desire or an important goal worth attaining. There are times you'll be lucky and other times when you will be your own worst enemy by making all the wrong choices. You will expand each other's worlds and open opportunities for each other. In one way or another, you will have more resources as a result of your partnership. The intent of this aspect is to choose wisely from among your many options. There are some experiences that are simply not worth having. You may discover this through trial and error. Also, attempting to accomplish too much will needlessly diffuse your energy and focus and serve instead to overwhelm you. Be sure to curb excess ego, bravado or promises. Your natural spirit of generosity will always open doors for you, but keeping them open comes from following through on your promises.

Antonio's Pluto Conj Melanie's 7th house ruler, Pluto:

When you meet, you will quickly intuit that you have a life view or a sensibility that is similar. It will also be apparent that there is much beneath the surface of your partner that will be revealed slowly, some of it remaining forever a mystery. You are likely motivated by many of the same desires. Because this aspect stimulates self-analysis, you can find yourselves processing your issues, sometimes obsessively and ad infinitum. It will be useful to set a time limit, so that your discussions and possibly endless repetitions don't become counterproductive. This combination of energies also tends to bring out your fears and jealousies, possessiveness or controlling behaviors, which can be problematic. If you assure each other of your loyalty and support, it is then vital to trust each other. Minimize negative expressions that can actually manifest exactly what you don't want to happen. This aspect creates pressure but when properly applied can mean growth to ever more optimal levels of performance in whatever area you choose to focus. If you apply yourselves, you can become quite a force for positive change in your community or in politics. The intent of this aspect is to maximize your resources and to reach higher levels of personal fulfillment by releasing outworn attitudes, habits or even associations. If you are in business together, your partnered instincts can create quite a success. Remember also that this aspect requires some loss and letting go. This can be difficult but at the same time cause you to transform your lives.

Antonio's 7th house cusp Conj Melanie's 7th house ruler, Pluto:

You will feel a strong impact when you meet each other, which can be positive or sometimes negative. Whichever is the case, it will arouse always deep and sometimes disturbing elements from your unconscious. This is exactly why you have attracted each other, so that you can progress beyond your current stage of development. By the same token, your effect on each other can stir latent joys and desires, and through those a willingness to metamorphose and evolve from the challenge of this energy between you. Some pressure is good, but you both have to decide how much, what kind, and for how long. The biggest mistake of an aspect such as this is to think that you can control the other person. You will get severe backlash if you play that game. Forget it. Use the energies you have to transform outworn systems or to build your dreams and maintain a continually fresh and living connection between the two of you. The instinctive sensitivity between you will not allow for deception, lies or betrayal. Activity of this nature will ultimately destroy your relationship and it will be nearly impossible to resuscitate it. The intent of this aspect is to bring you to the next level in your own empowerment and to learn to trust and utilize your instincts and make them work positively for you and your partner. If you direct and focus your energies optimally, you can be leaders in your community.

Chapter 4: Your Closest Contacts, Your Strongest Themes

This section interprets the closest connections between your charts. The idea is that the closest ties explain the major or central themes of your relationships and the reason you have come together. The nature of these aspects will also define the main activities, interests and patterns that comprise your life together.

Notice that in this section each paragraph contains both the easier expression of energies as well as the more challenging ones. Both interpretations are included because these close connections pertain to the central learning curve of your relationship. Based on the premise that the more exact the connection (also the closest energetic contact) between your pair of planets, the more psychologically significant the aspect will be for each of you. This means that you are likely to be strongly influenced by each other in the areas described. Because of this, it will be useful to consider both the easier and more challenging interpretations even though you lead with one of them. You will, from time to time and in various circumstances, probably exhibit some elements of each group, both the easier expressions as well as the more challenging ones. Another thing -- it's possible with both types of aspects that you will have the same challenges but simply respond or react to them in different ways. The goal is to rise to the best possible expression of each combination. This is the learning curve and this bestows wisdom.

Antonio's Mercury Square Melanie's Neptune (challenging aspect):

If this is the most exact aspect between your charts, your main relationship themes concern imagination, compassion, understanding, faith and inspiration. The arts and music in some form will be a mainstay in your lives.

Challenging aspects: Your desire for peace and harmony can also create a difficulty with boundaries for you. You will have to be careful so you don't play the victim by involving yourself needlessly in unfortunate circumstances or allowing yourself to be taken advantage of. Make sure your self-esteem is healthy and that you tell others how you wish to be treated. You will always have a soft spot for those who are hurt or in need, and serving through organizations or agencies that provide services for such people can be a way to strengthen yourself. Music and art will inspire and uplift you.

Easier aspects: There is a gentleness and affection that you easily express as partners. You have a great capacity to forgive and make allowances for the foibles and failings of others. You can inspire and smooth over the inevitable hurts and pains of life through understanding and compassion. Being of service or providing a service for caring or inspiration is probably a strong part of your lives. Your belief in a unifying life principle leads you to a spiritual practice of your choice. Participation and appreciation of the arts is vital in your lives.

Melanie's Sun Trine Antonio's MC (easier aspect):

If this is the most exact aspect between your charts, your main relationship theme concerns the quality and success of home, family and career matters. Where you are headed will be a vital question.

Easier aspects: Making compromises and balancing career and family interests will be easier for you to handle. One or both of you will be well established or recognized in your chosen field. Supporting each other and loyalty toward each other's goals and concerns come naturally to you. Since you prefer order, creating a balance between family life and your duties at work seems easier to accomplish.

Challenging aspects: There may be power or ego issues between you when it comes to career and family concerns. Do not make a battleground of your relationship. Take regular time to sit down and process each of your fears and concerns, so that both of you feel heard and acknowledged. Do not let false pride or hurt feelings take over the natural joy you feel when you are together. Spend plenty of time playing with each other. If you have children, make sure you balance your time alone and your time parenting.

Antonio's Moon Trine Melanie's Saturn (easier aspect):

If this is the most exact aspect between your charts, your main relationship theme is one of commitment, protection and responsibility. You tend to form habits for security and your associations are typically with people that have proven their trustworthiness.

Easier aspects: Emotionally, you respond best when you feel safe, secure and comfortable. You have very clear definitions of the pattern of your daily life and you seek quality over quantity. Social responsibility is high and you often take on extra tasks both at home or at work. You probably have a strong work ethic, with a focus on excellence. You prefer a quieter, more secure lifestyle and a home that is orderly but not overly ornate.

Challenging aspects: Your life can have more than the average number of challenges. Often these challenges come through family or work responsibilities. Because of this, your time is precious and you never seem to have enough of it. To alleviate the burdens on you, think seriously before you take on extra claims on your time and remind yourself of the consequences of overload. Other commitments can, in fact, keep you from creating the quality relationships you want. Somehow, you may feel that you must prove yourself by taking on more tasks but ultimately you will need to take greater responsibility for the quality of your life and have more open spaces for relaxation.

Antonio's Moon Trine Melanie's Uranus (easier aspect):

If this is the most exact aspect between your charts, your main relationship theme revolves around the need for freedom, independence, truthfulness and creative self-expression. Human rights and basic freedoms for all people are recurring issues.

Easier aspects: Yours is not a conventional lifestyle, nor do you even want that. You are happiest when you've created a pattern of living that suits your individual tastes. You are original, eclectic and even a bit eccentric in your approach to life and in the activities and friendships you seek. Others will be attracted to your sparkle, your straightforwardness and your sense of fun. You strive to be alert to community and global events and are interested or involved in human rights activism. Your lives are peppered with excitement and creative flair.

Challenging aspects: Sometimes the desire for excitement in your life becomes too dramatic or even an unwanted disruption. You often find yourselves in controversial or uncomfortable situations with others. You are creative and innovative in your outlook and often serve as catalysts to increase awareness in a situation that is stuck. At times, you can be too blunt or too abrupt and you will antagonize others. Your moods can be erratic, which makes people feel uncertain of you, and your rebelliousness can alienate people. Make sure you have enough unstructured time in your life so that you can feel free and independent.

Antonio's Mercury Sextile Melanie's Jupiter (easier aspect):

If this is the most exact aspect between your charts, your main relationship theme is gaining wisdom through a wide range of learning experiences. By taking risks, exploring and adventuring, you seek to broaden your knowledge base and exercise your mind and body.

Easier aspects: There's a jubilant, generous energy that surrounds you. The two of you are energetic and enjoy many and varied activities. You appear to have reached a good balance between the mental and physical. You prefer to be active and stimulated but you will favor either mental activity or physical activity a bit more. Living life fully is clearly your goal. You generate opportunities while at the same time being generous with your own resources. Teaching, writing, reading or traveling are among your favored activities. You will remain youthful with your thirst to know and wisdom earned.

Challenging aspects: Your enthusiasm can run out of control at times and you will find yourselves overwhelmed by promises you've made or resources you've spent. Although you are generous, you can splurge to a fault and create problems for yourselves. Keep in mind your primary goals and your security needs.

If this is the most exact aspect between your charts, your main relationship theme concerns seriousness of purpose and commitment, an exact or precise way of speaking, organization, a fondness for science, history or math and an appreciation for order.

Easier aspects: Establishing habits that provide security, familiarity and comfort in your lives and relationship is a primary concern, everything else is secondary. Your communication with each other is not frivolous and you dislike small talk; instead, you prefer to discuss topics that are substantial and significant. You enjoy planning how things will be done before actually doing them and, especially before traveling. Learning from each other, appreciating and being proud of each other's expertise and achievements are important.

Challenging aspects: There are times when you will feel stifled or even frustrated in your desire to communicate with each other. You may complain that your partner won't listen or hear what you have to say. Shifting these blocks to your communication flow is important to address as soon as possible, before you settle into negative ways. Old habits and preconceived expectations or lack of trust can be what prevent you from connecting in the way you would like. Seek professional advice to uncover the roots of your miscommunication. Understanding each other's struggles to communicate will help.
