- I don't think anything of it unless you are looking at degrees. exanple.
- your sun is in leo and hers is in pisces. Thats an inconjunct by sign
- which means adjustments must be made. but if you are 1 degree leo and she
- is 29 degrees pisces, thats a trine which is really great. Or you might be
- 29 degrees leo and she 1 degree pisces. That's an opposition which is
- worse than an inconjunct. Talk degrees, not signs. Granted, looking at
- signs is better than nothing at all but it's not good enough.
-
- Look at the sign on your seventh house cusp which for you is leo. So your
- partner will probably be a leo rising or have a leo sun or have the sun in
- their first house. Where is your uranus? Thats your ruling planet. What
- house and sign? that will tell you where you want to be.
-
- Aquarius rising probably has gemini on the fifth. Dating multiple people
- at once or you like to send letters to your lover (s) or maybe you write
- romance novels? Or maybe you write about sports or games or chance?
-
- Anyway, use this book but look at the degrees and not just the signs.
