Bad Astrology Advice About Bad Aspects In Compatibility (Part One)

If you’ve spent much time online reading about astrology, you’ve encountered the concept of “astrological compatibility,” in which the aspects between the points in your chart and another person’s chart determine how your relationship functions. You’ve probably noticed that a square between your thingamabob and your partner’s thingamabob is going to make the relationship difficult. You’ll often find wise and helpful advice on how to cope with this square, and even how to turn that square into a positive.

Today’s blog entry is not intended to be the least bit wise or helpful. Enjoy!

Sun square Sun: There will be some sort of inherent clash between your ego and that of your partner. This is best handled by undermining their confidence and making their concerns all about you.

Example:

YOUR PARTNER: “I’m really worried that I’m not going to get that job I applied for.”

YOU:  “Yeah, I hear there are a lot of people who are a lot more qualified than you are, and your employment record is kind of spotty. Here’s what I’d do in your situation…”

Mercury square Mercury: This aspect can lead to a lot of arguments, often unnecessarily. You and you partner may have very different communication styles. This can usually be easily resolved. First, try explaining your position as if you were speaking to a less-than-gifted five year old. If after that your partner doesn’t see things your way? Simply start shouting your opinion until your partner either agrees just to shut you up (win!) or simply gives up and goes away (also a win!).

Moon square Moon: You and your partner find emotional comfort in different ways and in different things. Find out what your partner is truly sensitive or defensive about, and be prepared to play that card as often as possible in order to get your way.

Venus square Venus: You and your partner may have different “love styles,” or have widely diverging tastes in art, or have difficulty budgeti9ng together. This makes for excellent opportunities to establish your superiority and dominance. That’s how you win at relationships!
