Astrology is an amazing esoteric science. And it has many answers to these questions.

If you are married, or about to be married, and you're curious to know what areas in your marriage are the most harmonious, and which areas will possibly cause you some stress, astrology has some answers. There are harmonious aspects between your natal planets that indicate areas that run smoothly, joyfully, and harmoniously. Then there are challenging aspects between your natal planets that indicate areas within your relationship that will be a source of stress. By knowing these areas of harmony and stress, you can help your relationship be the kind of relationship you truly desire. As they say, "to be forewarned is to be forearmed". So being armed with astrological information can be sort of a guide to your relationship.

If you have recently met someone, or you are in a relationship, and you are hoping that this is "the one", or your hoping that this is not another one destined for heartbreak, you need to check your interaspects to Chiron. Chiron's harmonious aspects to Venus, Jupiter, and Neptune hold the promise of a long term relationship and can indicate whether this person is your "soulmate". However, challenging aspects from Saturn hold a strong possibility of heartbreak sooner or later.

If you want to get married and you are wondering if this person is the marrying type or is a commitment phobe, check his/her natal aspects that help to indicate these personality types.

The composite chart is also something to look at to indicate long term compatibility. This chart represents the relationship itself. It will show you what emotional and circumstantial elements will be present in a long term or committed relationship. You might change your mind when you read this !

Difficult aspects between the personal planets - Sun, Moon, and Venus, to the planets Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto could spell trouble. I nearly guarantee when you read this part of a compatibility report you'll recognize the "symptoms". Hope that there's more harmonious aspects with Venus and Jupiter to counter balance these !

If however, you haven't walked down the aisle yet and would like to, there are many areas in astrology that will assist your quest for relationship information.

Look to the progressed charts and transits to discover the years where you are most likely to become married, engaged, or commit to a long term relationship. There are even indicators of when there's a possible wedding month or engagement - just look to the progressed Moon and Part of Fortune.

There is so much wonderful information you can derive from astrology's tools, to help you make the best decisions for your relationship and for yourself. All it takes is a little time and the desire to make your relationship the best it can be, know your areas of difficulty, and find out ways to make them work.

Astrology will also help you to determine if this is the relationship for you. Why waste time on heartache, when, with a little investigation you can prevent it ! or hold on to your love because this one has a strong probability for long term commitment.

So wouldn't it be great to have a guidebook on your relationship ? Astrology is the closest thing you'll get to providing you with the most personal information that reflects this particular relationship, your particular relationship.
