May Flowers, June
weddings, 4th of July picnics, and August poolside barbecues,
make summer a fun time of year? Questions about romance, love, and compatibility
keep popping up.
Successful relationships
are the ones in which the primary needs of each person are being
met by the other. The birth map reveals much about the needs and expectations
of the person.
You may recognize
more than one sign operating in your personality. That’s as it should
be. The Sun, Moon, Venus and Mars can be found in any of the signs. The
Sun represents Ego needs. The Moon represents emotional needs. Venus symbolizes
values, self worth, and relationship needs. Mars symbolizes passion, action,
playfulness and desire. See if you can recognize your own primary needs.
Aries: (Mars) needs
to be first, room to grow, to be free to follow an impulse, to act without
considering others, to compete, to argue and still be accepted.
Taurus: (Venus) needs
affection, security, quality possessions, money, comfort, loyalty, and
patience with the deliberate and slow manner of making decisions.
Gemini: (Mercury)
needs variety, intellectual stimulation, companions who challenge with
clever conversation, activity and travel, and friendship without strings.

strong guiding influence from friends or mate, security and money.

The twelve signs
or principles and their planetary rules form the alphabet for understanding
the many very personal “words” that make up your personality. Don’t be
afraid to choose needs that have nothing to do with your Sun or birth
sign. Your feelings will help you identify the primary needs you
just can’t live without.
