NOTES:
No better connection exists for marriage than this one. There is a closeness that is emotional as well as men-
tal, and in some cases, psychic. But bear in mind the element of the gender roles as mentioned in the description
of the Moon Connections on pages 276 and 277. Even this most wonderful connection does not guarantee success
if the partners are not in line with those elemental energies.

commitment of one kind or another. It is also one of the best connections for marriage, contributing a lot to your over-
all compatibility. There is both a past-life tie between you and a strong mental and emotional link that makes being
together both easy and enjoyable for the two of you. In particular, you have a way of making your partner feel com-
fortable, safe, and protected. Unless other connections conflict with this one, your partner will want to be with you
a lot and feel safe enough to explore deeper forms of commitment and intimacy. This connection also promotes
good communications and the mutual expression of ideas and beliefs, which can be mutually enjoyable. You, as
their Moon Card, will enjoy the new experiences that your partner brings into your life as you give him or her the
support and feeling of groundedness that allows them to function better in the world.

connection for marriage. The two of you like and enjoy many of the same things and feel that you have a lot in
common. This can make it very easy to be together and increase the feeling of 'rightness' of being together. This
connection is good for any kind of relationship. You two are very compatible and share pleasurable times together.
NOTES:
The planet Venus is associated with the pleasure principle. Having more pleasure in a relationship adds a lot to
the ability to be together for extended periods of time and thus is, in itself, great for marriage. However, Venus alone
may not be enough to warrant a long term relationship. Oftentimes those who share a Venus relationship merely
become best of friends. However, when two people who are married share this connection, it is a very good sign for
the success of that marriage, unless other connections subtract from the compatibility of their being together.

iarity that you feel for each other is also the result of a subconscious link - a link that was created by being togeth-
er before and having worked on your relationship a great deal at that time. The two of you have a lot of appreci-
ation for each other and thus are very compatible. You enjoy each other's company and find that you like many of
the same things in life. You basically find pleasure in similar things and in being together. This is a very good con-
nection for marriage or any kind of relationship. Even without doing anything, there is a strong love bond between
you that could be the foundation for a successful relationship of any type in this lifetime. Given this good, solid
foundation, you need only decide what to build on it!

NOTES:
One of the outstanding qualities of this wonderful connection is that it is an 'earned connection. This means
that the feelings you have for each other were created by a prior lifetime of being together. This connection is
often responsible for 'love at first sight' and other such phenomena. Usually there is an instant recognition or
acceptance of each other. This connection adds a tremendous boost to a relationships compatibility and is common
among successful marriages.

and thus you are very compatible. You have found someone that you can enjoy life's pleasures with and there should
be no reason why the two of you could not have a successful and happy relationship. You probably enjoy similar kinds
of music and food and your sex together is probably very satisfying for both of you. This is an especially powerful con-
nection because it is what I call a 'mutual connection.' This means that it works in both directions. It is the same for
you as it is for your partner and this strengthens the connection quite a bit. Liking the same things is not everything
that is needed, but it is something that gives you a head start and a great foundation for having a great relationship.
NOTES:
The Mutual Venus Connections are perhaps the best of all since the affectionate energies run in both direc-
tions at once. For this reason, the Intensity Index becomes a negative value. This sort of connection actually
removes any negative intensity in the relationship that may be present from other connections, making compati-
bility much more likely. If you have one of these connections, consider your relationship to be somewhat blessed.

powerful physical energy and you will have less of the anger and competition part. This connection can produce either
a powerful physical and sexual attraction or powerful competitive and hostile feelings. In some cases you will have
both. Know that these feelings are the result of being together before in a similar role and that now you can chan-
nel the enormous energy stirred up by this relationship into positive channels for greater success and happiness.
NOTE:
In astrology there are aspects, such as Mars in the 1 1th house, that indicate people who were considered ene-
mies in a former lifetime that we are drawn to be with again to work out our differences. Spiritual Spread Mars rela-
tionships can act in the same way. Anyone with whom you share this connection could be an enemy from a past
life with whom you have unfinished business. However, when two lovers come together with this connection,
there is usually some past life attraction that never had the opportunity to be fully expressed. This can create a
powerful attraction between two people along with the unconscious desire to fulfill some desires that were left
incomplete in a former life. In these cases, the relationship represents a fulfillment of passionate energies and can
be quite enjoyable. There are cases, though, where two lovers are drawn together who were also enemies before.
Though the passion is very much present, there can also be considerable resentment and competitive feelings that sur-
face later in the relationship as the real reason for their being together becomes realized and manifested.
Affirmation for this Connection: My partner excites me and stimulates me. I can use this energy constructively
and passionately to better my life.
286
Love V Cards
NOTES:
Remember that you may remind your partner of one or more parts of themselves that they may not necessarily
like. Anyone who is our Mars Card can represent our own qualities that cause us to get upset at ourselves. Thus, when
one of these people shows up, there is always the possibility that we will get angry at them. This is because they so
vividly exemplify those characteristics for us. This is how you may be showing up for your partner. Understanding
this can help in many ways. Mars energy always needs a positive outlet or it will turn to anger and competition.
Knowing this, you can always benefit from Mars relationships by simply doing things together. Make love, go out-
side and take walks together, work out at the spa, or try working together in a business or job. All of these provide a
constructive outlet for this aggressive energy that will keep both of you happier and more content in being together.
Affirmation for this Connection: I excite and sometimes aggravate my partner. We enjoy doing things togeth-
ments and arguments. Keep moving and find positive expressions for the powerful energy that you stir up in each
other and you will be making the most of this important connection. This is also a good connection for being in
business as a partnership. This connection is a carry-over from a past life relationship in which the two of you were
either lovers, brothers, competitors or enemies.
NOTES:
Read the Notes under the "MAFS" connection to get more insight into this connection. Much of what was writ-
ten there applies here except that the roles are reversed, in this case you are the one who is either a stimulation or irri-
tation to your partner. However, all that is said about the past-life connections applies here.
Mars relationships neither add to nor subtract from the Compatibility of a relationship since the way it affects
the relationship is so strongly dependent on how the energies of the relationship are used. If used constructively,
this connection could actually add to the Compatibility. On the other hand, used negatively and allowed to chan-
nel into anger and aggression, this connection could be the biggest problem that exists between two partners.

sexual passion and pleasure. However, Mars energy can be too much at times. It's kind of like a monkey on your
back in that it always needs something to do or else it will turn to competition and anger at times. If you find that
the two of you are fighting or not getting along, it might just be because you aren't going out and doing things
together. Sex is good, but you need more things to do besides sex because you can't do it all the time. You have more
Mars energy together than most couples and you are going to have to find constructive channels for this energy if
you don't want to fight all the time. Working together is also a great thing to do.
Having chosen this 'two-way' Mars connection has to mean that you both are either really wanting to get more
active in your life or that you are wanting to deal with and work out all your issues around anger and competition. It
could actually be a combination of both. Whatever the case, this double Mars connection creates a tremendous amount
of energy that must constantly be channeled into positive directions if it is going to be a blessing in your relationship.
Affirmation for this Connection: My partner and I channel our abundant energies into positive and con-
connection in order to work out either an unfulfilled desire with them or to resolve an unresolved conflict from a
previous time of being together. This is why this connection has such a powerful attraction along with some feel-
ings of familiarity when you first met. (Read the MAFS Notes for more about this past-life element)
Do things together to channel this powerful physical energy and you will have less of the anger and competi-

hostile feelings. In some cases you will have both. Know that these feelings are the result of being together before in
a similar role and that now you can channel this enormous energy stirred up by this relationship into positive chan-
nels for greater success and happiness.

Meaning of the Connection:
Your partner usually has a desire to give things to you and basically is encouraged to help and protect you. This
is a great connection for marriage or friendship as it promotes giving and receiving between the two of you. Allow
yourself to receive to get the highest and most rewards from this relationship. Also remember to appreciate what
you are receiving if you are to have this relationship continue to be a blessing in your life.
NOTES:
This connection adds a lot to the ability of two people to co-exist in a harmonious fashion and thus I have
given it a high rating in the compatibility area. However, it does nothing to attract two people together. Therefore
if your relationship connections are predominately lupiterian, you probably won't have much of a desire to be
together. Still, this connection is a blessing to any relationship and will help counteract other connections that may
take away from the overall compatibility or harmony.

This connection is a strong bond that adds many blessings to your relationship, whether it is marriage, friend-
ship or business. Though it is not strong on the attraction level, it will contribute a lot to your overall compatibil-
ity and joy in being together. Your partner likes to give to you and you probably share many of the same philo-
sophical beliefs and ideas that make your being together enjoyable and harmonious. Their advice to you could be
some of the most valuable of your entire life, so listen carefully. Keep your heart and mind open to receiving their
gifts and you both will benefit greatly.
NOTES:
This connection stems from the Spiritual Spread which means that it has its roots in some past life when the
two of you were together. It is likely that you gave much to your partner in that lifetime because in this lifetime
you are basically meant to collect payment and receive the good they have to offer. This good may be on a mate-
rial level or on a spiritual level but it is there for you if you are open to receiving.
Affirmation for this Connection: My partner is a blessing in my life and I can derive great joy by appreciat-

ness or both and promotes a relationship based upon higher values and spiritual truths or philosophy. This con-
nection works best if your partner appreciates the things you are giving to them.

are Jupiter to each other in the Life Spread

Meaning of the Connection:
Both you and your partner enjoy sharing and giving to each other and this one aspect of your relationship is
a major blessing to both of you. Because giving and receiving is such a vital part of successful relationships, this connec-
tion greatly increases your chances of long term success. Another important aspect of this connection is that it will
encourage financial prosperity in your relationship. Since financial considerations are among the most prominent issues
for couples and since financial problems are at the top of the list of reasons for relationship break-ups, this con-
nection greatly increases your prospects for continued success.
NOTES:
Jupiter has always been considered to be one of the most beneficial connections two people can have. It pro-
motes ease and abundance. Jupiter always bestows blessings on anything he touches. Because this is a mutual con-
nection, it is practically doubled for you and your partner. This occurred because you are Jupiter to each other in
a 'diagonal' direction in the Life Spread. This sort of connection can actually make the difference between the suc-
cess and failure of your relationship. All you need to do to access all of this abundance is to begin appreciating your
partner and all of the things that he or she does for you.

level, or on the level of integrity and honesty. You are both there for each other when you are needed and you
have good advice and other things of value to offer each other when needed. If you both keep your heart and mind
open to giving and receiving the many gifts you share, you both will benefit greatly.
This connection springs from a past life in which the two of you shared some experiences in which you both
developed some deep understanding about what is true and untrue in life. This could have been as fellow members
of some religious order or in some other kind of institution where philosophy was one of the major focuses. Now,
in this life, you tend to see things the same way in the areas of right and wrong.
NOTES:
This is one of the most beneficial of the 'spiritual' connections that two partners can have. First of all, it is a
past-life earned connection. For this reason, the connection tends to run deeper and have more meaning than the
same connection in the Life Spread. Secondly, it is a Jupiterian connection. Jupiter is one of the most important of
the spiritual planets. It has been called the 'Guru Planet,' the Lord of Wisdom and abundance. This connection
guarantees that there is some sort of deep bond on the level of your beliefs and philosophies. If you access this and
openly discuss your relationship in light of this, you could find that there is much more meaning for your being
together than you first thought. This, of course, presupposes that these things, like life purpose and spirituality, are
important to you.

for you with many valuable things to share that will help you become more mature, responsible and ultimately, suc-

handle in a positive way. For you, this may often seem too difficult to accomplish and you may find that you suc-

This is one of the most potent of the karmic relationships. This means that it is highly likely that this relation-
ship has a major impact on your life, that its importance cannot be underestimated in terms of how much of an ulti-
mate blessing it can be for you. However, as in all Saturn relationships, a constructive attitude, one in which you
are open to learning and seeing your faults, is a requirement to access these blessings.
NOTES:
When someone is Saturn to us, they are often found using the words "You should do this" or "You should do
that." This is much the same as a father instructs his son or daughter. Indeed, Saturn is known as the 'great father.'

It is quite likely that the two of you have been together before and that one of your roles in this lifetime is to
return to them something that they have given to you in a former existence. However, the thing that is given is
not always well received. In this case, especially, your suggestions for their improvement may not always be appre-
ciated.
However, if your partner is able or willing to look at and accept their own shortcomings, you can be a bless-

out of touch with these qualities a connection like this could be complete hell. So, this connection is a challenge,
to both of you really. Both of you will be reminded of things that you can do to improve yourselves and many of
the things that you think you 'should' do.
If you can handle the heat, this could be one of the most constructive and rewarding relationships of your life.
If you have chosen this relationship, it is either because you want more concrete success in your life, you want to
grow up and get real, or you want to be challenged so that you learn to really love yourself in spite of what oth-
ers may say or think about you. In 90 percent of the cases, relationships with this connection are challenging. If you are
up to the challenge get ready for work and later, great success.
NOTES:
This, and the next connection are probably the most challenging aspects a couple could share. It holds the
possibility of two great extremes, both almost opposites of each other. Because Saturn has so much to do with
karma, problems and challenges, this double Saturn connection could result in one of the most unhappy experi-
ences for both couples where they constantly are criticizing each other to the point that the love between them is
lost. On the other hand, this connection could indicate that both partners chose this relationship to learn to take
full responsibility for their lives and both had a desire to grow into more successful individuals. If they look at each
other as their teacher in a positive way, this powerful connection could actually catapult them into more personal
and professional growth than would be possible with any other connection.

other the space to do your own thing and to pursue your separate dreams and ambitions. It is especially important
that you give this space to your partner.

Meaning of the Connection:
It is likely that you and your partner shared a past life in which you were friends or members of a group or associa-

In this lifetime you probably feel the same way and this connection gives you a certain amount of mutual respect
for each other that is quite admirable. This connection may cause some uncertainty in you at times because some-
one who is Uranus to us will often do the unexpected from our point of view. On the positive side, these unexpected
acts are helping you let go of seeing them or other things in old, traditional ways and is helping you open up to
new possibilities in your life. If you have a desire for a relationship with someone who will be a friend for life and
who will never expect you to change or give up your individuality, this could be just the one for you. Otherwise
the extreme individuality of this connection may be too much for you, not providing enough security or togeth-

ly that the two of you allow each other plenty of time to pursue your individual goals and aspirations. Sometimes you
may feel as though you are leading somewhat separate lives. But you also must realize that you chose this rela-
tionship to be an example of true friendship in the fullest sense of the word. You are learning non-attachment and
how to respect your own individual needs and expressions through the vehicle of this unique relationship.
NOTES:
This is one of the most powerful of the unconditional love connections, mostly because it is from a past-life,
but also because it is one of the few 'mutual connections' that exist between the Birth Cards. In a way it is much
better than the other mutual Uranus connection because the two of you have already learned how to let each other
be without trying to change each other. Thus, this connection can be the foundation for a very happy life togeth-
er. There are, of course, other connections between you and some of these may pose problems of one kind or
another. Keep in mind, though, that this deep feeling of companionship between you is always there to set the
stage for a mutual understanding. Remember that you only want the best for your partner and they feel the same
way towards you.
This connection only occurs between cards that fall at the outer corners of the Life and Spiritual Spreads. If
you look on pages 342 and 343 you will see that these cards - the 7V and 4A are in opposite corners in the

about them and see them through 'rose-colored glasses.' They can do no wrong in your eyes, but are you seeing them
for who they are or who you would like them to be? This can be very romantic or it can be a nightmare. It all depends
on you. Oftentimes, people with this connection have a strong psychic link. In other cases there is a strong element of
spirituality between them. In all cases, you should be advised that it would be very easy for your partner to deceive and
take advantage of you. Because your fantasy about them is so strong, they could hold a certain 'spell' over you that could
be dangerous. This connection is one of the most romantic and can inspire magical feelings in you and your partner.
Taken to its highest form, this connection could inspire you and your partner to perform some great deed for the world.
NOTES:
The Neptune connection is in essence a higher octave of the Venus Connection. Astrologically, the planet
Venus is exalted in Pisces, the sign ruled by Neptune. Therefore, Neptune has the potential to bring out the high-
est form of love, the love that entails sacrifice and selflessly giving to another. However, in this the dawning of the
Aquarian Age, much of Neptune's influence in our lives tends to go to the down side and we usually experience
the more negative effects in Neptunian relationships. This means misplaced fantasies, dreams and intentions. Many
people who have strong Neptune influences in their love life end up in painful codependent and addictive rela-
tionships. Some can even be abusive. Neptune can be very deceptive and addicting and as in most of the connec-
tions listed here, how it manifests in your life will depend more upon you than the connection itself. To get the most
benefit from this connection, set high ideals for your relationship in terms of what the two of you may contribute
to the world. This will activate the highest vibrations of Neptune, the planet of Universal and Cosmic Love.
Affirmation for this Connection.- My partner is the person oj my dreams. We share a strong psychic link and
you refuse to see them as they truly are. Try to see how strongly you project your fantasies on them and take a
moment to separate what you want them to be from who they really are. In this manner your own projections will
not block the truth and you will be able to have a relationship with a real person instead of a dream that is constantly
threatening to become a nightmare. It is very likely that you and your partner were together before and in that for-
mer existence shared this same deep, psychic connection. You could have a very special purpose for being togeth-
er, one that will make an important contribution to the world around you. This is the connection of Universal Love

eyes. However, you may feel at times that they don't really know the real you and you may get tired of playing
some make believe role for them. This is also a very romantic connection and keeps the romance going in a rela-
tionship for years and years. You have a power over your partner and with it you can deceive them if you want and
they will never know that you are doing it. Though it is nice to have someone worship you, you want to be loved
for who you are, which can be difficult sometimes with this connection. Still, you have a way of pleasing your part-
ner and this creates a strong bond between you. It is also possible that you could use this connection to inspire
your partner to work with you in fulfilling an important goal in terms of your life's work. This is the connection of

tion and this can be good if it is not used to deceive or take advantage of one another. You, especially know that you
hold a sort of mystical power over your partner and have more responsibility to be honest and truthful with them.
This connection can provide the two of you with inspiration and direction to achieve some important and worth-
while goal connected with helping the world. Take this connection of 'Universal Love' and put it to good use.

you could be enormous. This connection is usually associated with strong sexual attraction.
NOTES:
The Pluto Connection is related to Mars, but it is Mars taken to a higher octave. Instead of the lust and anger
of Mars, we get the control and power complexes of Pluto. As in the Mars Connection, Pluto has a high level of
attraction and intensity. Ultimately, how this relationship is for you will depend on your relationship with your-
self. The Pluto person reminds us of some qualities in ourselves that we have 'contracted' to change in this lifetime.
If you are aware of your own faults and are able to accept them, this relationship will not seem too intense and
challenging. On a spiritual and personal development level, this can be one of the most important and valuable
relationships of your life. This connection has a negative 5 in Compatibility because few people can live with this
kind of intensity for long periods of time. Of course, other more harmonious connections can help to offset this

seem very challenging to you, especially if you attempt to change them or make them conform to how you think they
should be. However, taken with the right attitude, this relationship can be a springboard to a new life where you are
more powerful and free from self-limiting beliefs and attitudes. In that light, this person could be the most important
one in your life.

intense feelings to come up. This may be the cause of the 'battle of wills' or power struggles that you experience at
times in this relationship. On a deep level, you represent qualities or things that your partner wants for him or her
self. To acquire these qualities, he or she must make large-scale changes within themselves. For this reason, they may

for the intense feelings and experiences that you bring into their life.

son, you may seem to be very challenging or even difficult for him or her at times. This connection brings out our
deepest feelings and sometimes the urge to change or control our partner. This is likely what your partner is feel-
ing about you. There exists with the connection the possibility that the two of you have been together before and
that in that former existence, you left some aspects of your relationship incomplete. Know that you have a powerful
effect on your partner, one that reminds them of things that they are working on changing in themselves at a deep
level. If they are making good progress with those internal changes, the relationship with you will seem easier and
more on the positive side, instilling them with more power to create things in their life.

some level they represent a 'reward' for you, one that you earn from going through the transformation that is a part
of your soul's destiny in this lifetime. In a sense, this relationship can feel like a true blessing, once the challenges
associated with it are met and dealt with.
NOTES:
What am I calling the Lifetime Cosmic Reward Card is the same as the Pluto/Result Card in the Age 90 Spread in
The Cards of Your Destiny. This card is associated with Jupiter and thus acts as a beneficial influence. However, since
it is so close to the Pluto Card, it can be very challenging as well. In relationships I have found that we only realize the
blessings of this card if and when we have dealt with the challenges and lessons associated with our lifetime (Age 90)
Pluto Card. Therefore, how you experience this person's influence in your life probably has more to do with whether
or not you have faced the issues of your Pluto Card than with how they are. Anyone who is our Cosmic Reward Card
can be one of the biggest blessings in our life when we are prepared to open up to that possibility.
Affirmation for this Connection: My partner reminds me oj wonderful things that are a part of me. They are
NOTES:
This connection is just like the one before it except that it stems from a connection in the Spiritual Spread.
Therefore the Jupiterian blessings that you are likely to receive from this person stem from a past life association
or from past-life good karma. However, just as in the previous connection the rewards associated with this con-
nection are usually not experienced until we have conquered, or at least faced, the issues represented by the Pluto
Card in our Life Spread. Until that time, those who are our Cosmic Reward Cards can seem to be challenging and
difficult to the extreme, in much the same way as someone who is our Pluto Card.

goals. Actually, are the 'rewards for in their life. For this reason
you may be viewed by him or her as challenging or difficult. However, once they have made the necessary changes
and met their self-imposed challenges, your relationship will take on the feeling of gratitude and happiness. Often,
couples with this connection are destined to be together to complete important lessons in life and love. Once your
partner has met their lifetime challenges and changes, you will become the biggest blessing in their life.
NOTES:
As in the previous two connections, this one is associated with the planet Jupiter, but it is Jupiter taken to a high-
er octave. Jupiter on a mundane level relates to material blessings but on a higher octave it goes to the spiritual level
and becomes 'cosmic blessings.' In truth you are a blessing to your partner, but he or she will not be able to realize
the fullness of that blessing until he or she deals with the spiritual challenges of his or her lifetime Pluto Card. The
Cosmic Reward or Blessing Card is closely related to the Pluto Card. As far as your relationship is concerned, you are
either perceived as a great blessing or a great challenge, depending upon where your partner is with respect to his or
her personal and spiritual development. In any case, it is very likely that he or she chose you to help them go through
a large scale transformation of their personality or some other important aspect of their life.

are Their Spiritual Cosmic Reward Card
Symbol:

Meaning of the Connection:
As a person in your partner's life, you represent a sort of 'cosmic reward' for spiritual or inner work that they are
doing in this lifetime. In practical terms this connection often manifests as your being challenging and unreachable
for them, but this is part of what they have chosen to do and you are playing a key role in their transformation. This
key connection is often found among couples who are destined to be together for a significant amount of time.
NOTES:
This connection is very much like the one before it except that it is connected to a past life with your partner.
Because this connection comes from the Spiritual or Natural Spread, it suggests that one of the reasons for you two
being together is to either settle or continue some past-life association. In the case of this particular connection,
the past-life association was likely very important in terms of your partner's growth as an individual. You are here
in this life to give to them something of extreme value. However, until your partner has dealt with their lifetime
Pluto Card (the one from the Age 90 Spread), you may seem to be more of a problem than a blessing to them.

your own shortcomings or they may play the role of the critic in some manner. On the positive side of things, this
relationship has the potential to help you achieve much greater success in your work because your partner will some-
how remind you of the things you need to do to access your highest potential. Taken with the right attitude, this rela-
tionship could lead to many and powerful realizations about yourself that have the highest value in your own path to
fulfillment. Otherwise you may just see them as a 'thorn in your side.'
NOTES:
This connection is one of the more difficult to understand. It represents someone who is the 10th card in our direct
Life Path. This 10th card is associated with Saturn but it is Saturn taken to a higher octave. Because it is connected to
Saturn, these relationships can be difficult and heavy feeling. However, on the spiritual side, this connection is a
reminder of our responsibility to the world in terms of our work or choice of career. For this reason, being with some-
one with whom you share this connection can be an important reminder of what your highest role may be in this life.
If you find that somehow they remind you of parts of yourself where you feel you are lacking, then this can be instru-
mental in your finding the path to your highest potential. These reminders do not always come to us in a happy form,
therefore, this connection does not bode well for long term ease and compatibility unless you have other more har-
monious connections to offset it. If you have chosen a relationship with someone with this connection, it could repre-
sent an unconscious desire to find the role that suits you best as it relates to your being a contribution to the world in
a powerful and meaningful way. This is especially true if this is the first or second connection between you.
Affirmation for this Connection: This person shows me my highest potential and points to my highest role in
and to the race of man. In some way, this person reminds you of things you must do or become that will be a help
to the world. If you are cosmically inclined, this relationship could lead you to your destiny. However, it also could
simply serve to remind you of your shortcomings and the areas where you may need self improvement.
NOTES:
Just as in the case of the CLF connection, this connection is related to Saturn taken to a higher octave.
The difference here is that this is the 10th card of the Spread taken from the Age 89 or Spiritual Spread (see pre-
vious page) instead of the Age 90 or Mundane Spread. This brings in the possibility of a past-life connection in
3 1 6

conjunction with the lessons being learned through this relationship. Therefore, the possibility is that the two of you
have been together before and that the role this person is playing in your life stems from a prior association, per-
haps one that was left incomplete in that earlier lifetime. Still, the connection remains the same as one that reminds
you of a role you must play if you are to follow your destiny and attain your highest potential. If this connection
is number one or two, it is very likely that this person is playing an instrumental role in helping you find your path
to power. Though not an easy connection on the compatibility level, this could be one of the most powerful and
important relationships of your life. Taken with the proper attitude, it could provide the catalyst for finding your
life's work and purpose on a more universal level.

are Their Lifetime Cosmic Lesson Card
Symbol:

Meaning of the Connection:
This connection implies that your presence in the life of your partner is one that will teach him or her much
that they need to learn in this lifetime. Whether you are critical of the way they do certain things or you play the
role of teacher in their life, there is much of value that they can learn from you. However, don't expect them to
always like these lessons or anxious to hear about all the ways they can improve who they are or what they are
doing. Even if you don't say anything, your presence in their life is teaching them invaluable lessons that they may
someday express gratitude for. In the meantime there may be personality conflicts as these lessons are learned.
NOTES:
The way you affect your partner may not have much to do with what you consciously do or say. This is a con-
nection that is not well understood and more subtle than most. It has some Saturnian qualities to it because in
essence, it represents a higher octave of Saturn, the great teacher. In some fashion you are a teacher to your partner.
The way these Saturn connections typically operate in our relationships, it is not necessarily what we are consciously
saying or doing that makes it challenging for our partner, but just our presence in his or her life that somehow
reminds them of where they might be lacking. In the case of this connection, you remind your partner of where they
could be in terms of their life's work. This can be disconcerting or extremely constructive, depending upon how they
take it and respond to it. If this connection is number one or two, you are likely playing an extremely important role
in the development of their character and destiny. This connection can be challenging on a compatibility level, espe-
cially from your partner's point of view and therefore it can work against long term ease and peacefulness. However,
handled in the right way by the right person, it could be the most important relationship of your lives.

ested in self-development and personal transformation. This connection implies that you act as a 'teacher' to your
partner - someone who leads him or her to a more mature and self responsible way of looking at themselves and
their role in the world. You represent part of their cosmic destiny or role and as such you have a profound effect
on them. On a mundane level, you could find that you are often critical of them or even harsh. For this reason he
or she may not always appreciate your contribution to their life or enjoy your company.
NOTES:
The only difference between this connection and the previous one is that this one stems from connections in
the Spiritual Spread instead of the Life Spread. This means that this connection is likely to stem from a past-life asso-
ciation that left some unfinished business to be completed in this lifetime. In this example, it is likely that you are
repaying your partner, being a teacher for them in some way that will help them to take more responsibility for their
contribution to the world in this lifetime. How they handle your influence in their life is likely to reflect their own
relationship with their inner sense of connectedness with their life's purpose. You could be just the person that helps
them to crystallize their desire to do something meaningful in their life.

interlocked and represent balance. The paying of karma is nothing more than the balancing of the scales.

Love V Cards
In most Karma Card relationships there is a flow of energy from one person to the other. When this flow is
allowed to happen, the relationship proceeds very well. When either one of the two disregard this basic flow or
refuse to allow it to happen, pain and suffering are always the result. In the table below the first Karma Card list-
ed is the one that you owe some debt to from a past life. The second card is the person that owes you something.
When there are more than two cards listed, there is a special consideration described on page 319.
Affirmation for this Connection: I was drawn to this person to settle an unfinished past life situation. We have
To get the most out of this relationship, always look for ways that you can give to your partner and always express
appreciation for their contribution in your life. This is a special relationship and it could have a major impact on
your life.
NOTES:
The Karma Cousin relationship is formed when two cards share a common Karma Card. For example, the 10^
is both a Karma Card to the Q«fc and the QA. Thus, the Q* and QA are Karma Cousins. Just as in the case of the
Karma Card relationship, there is likely to be a flow of energy between the two cards, from one to the other.
However, I have noted that these relationships do not have as much intensity as the Karma Card relationships, and
the flow of energy is generally in a more friendly manner. We might say that the Karma Cousin relationship is a
less intense version of its counterpart, the Karma Card relationship. To determine the flow of energy and to see
who is giving and who is receiving, use the Karma Card chart on the previous page. First look up the two Birth
Cards on the chart and see which of you owes which other Karma Card that you share. For example, if you are a
5# and you have a friend who is a Q4, you notice that you both share the 94 as a Karma Card. Because the 54
owes the 94, you would also be giving to the Q*, your Karma Cousin.

your two cards, there is considerable power generated when you are together. This power, if channeled constructive-
ly, could truly be used to change the world. However, if the two of you do not have a strong purpose in being togeth-
er, this same power will probably become destructive to your relationship and cause you to engage in control struggles
with each other. In most cases, this results in the destruction of the relationship. The two of you are extremely 'fixed'
in some ways and thus need a common purpose upon which to base your being together. Thus, the two of you have a
bigger responsibility than most to find a suitable purpose for your relationship that will stimulate the two of you to
achieve your highest potential.
NOTES:
This connection only appears between any two of the three 'fixed' cards (see previous footnote) and thus is not a
very common connection. Florence Campbell said that if any two of the three fixed cards get together, they would
have the power to change the world. In this connection we are talking about more power than is generated by any
other connection in the cards. Thus, this power has more potential for good and potential for destruction as well. In
my experience, two people who have this connection will not last long together unless they join forces in a common
purpose that is bigger than the two of them. In this manner the power finds a constructive outlet and peace ensues.
Affirmation for this Connection: My partner and I together generate a tremendous power that we can use to

Meaning of the Connection:
The two of you share the same birth and destiny card. This makes you feel very close in many ways but also
makes you strong mirrors of each other. If you are not getting along at any time, it is because one or both of you
does not like what you see in the mirror - a reflection of yourself! You are together to learn how to love yourself and
the relationship will reflect exactly how well you can do that. Look carefully at the things that you like and dislike
about your partner and you will discover an enormous amount about yourself. If you have learned to love yourself,
this relationship will seem to be like a 'soul-mate' connection to you. The closeness and harmony you feel is only
limited by how you feel about all the aspects of your own personality - your own self acceptance.
NOTES:
Those that choose to be with someone who is their same birth card usually are doing it to develop more self-
love. Most of us are composed of many facets, some of which we express and some of which we choose not to
express. When we meet someone of our same birth card, they often are choosing to express parts of themselves
that are the same as the parts of ourself that we choose not to express. This can result in our getting angry with them.
For example, a person who is trying to stop smoking often begins by getting angry at others who smoke. Inside,
323
Love V Cards
this person still wants to smoke but has decided not to express that side of his or her personality any more. Those
who are smoking remind this person of their own inner desire to smoke, the desire that he or she is suppressing.
Thus they get angry, which is really fear underneath, in this case, fear that he or she will start smoking again.
Therefore, those who are our same birth card have the potential to show us parts of ourselves that we have sup-
pressed or abandoned. These may be parts that we were not even aware of. If you are in one of these relationships
and you see anything about your partner that you do not like, take a closer look at your feelings. You may discover
something very important about yourself and how much you love certain aspects of your own personality.
Affirmation for this Connection: I chose this relationship to be a mirror of myself so that I can learn to love
myself completely.

which you are a lot alike in many important ways. This makes you feel very close and comfortable in being togeth-
er. There is a certain Tightness' about being together that can make you think this is a relationship that could last
a long time. Also, the person who has the matching Birth Card will tend to encourage the Planetary Ruling Card
person to express himself or herself. The Birth Card person will be very supportive, giving his or her partner a boost
of self confidence. People often visualize a happy, successful relationship as one in which the partners are sup-
portive and proud of each other's accomplishments. This connection lends itself to these qualities and in many
cases manifests as mutual support for each other's careers and ambitions.
NOTES:
This connection is a lot like the SBC connection, but doesn't seem to manifest the same intensity. Where the
SBC connection creates a strong mirroring effect that can often lead to a lot of conflict or issues, this connection is
Affirmation for this Connection: My partner and I are each other's compliments. We have much in

good for communications, for work and for general compatibility. You can't help but appreciate each other since you are
so much alike. Unless other connections between you contradict strongly, this is a great indicator of a potentially great
relationship. Much like the previous connection (MTCH), you are supportive of each other in a real and positive way.
NOTES:
This connection would not be considered as significant for two people who are the exact same birthday. In that case,
we must look at the SBC connection as being predominant. Though some of the qualities expressed here would be found,
the intensity of the SBC connection would probably be more noticeable. Of course, we must keep in mind that even
SBC connection relationships can be very positive and intimate. It is just that in most cases they have a higher intensity
level because of the strong mirroring effect, which doesn't always manifest with the SHARE connection alone.
