I sometimes wonder if astrology isn&#8217;t occasionally doing a disservice to the rich complexity of interpersonal relations by focusing on &#8220;compatibility.&#8221;  After all, lots of people who are compatible enough to get married are later incompatible enough to get divorced, right?<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<br \/>\n***<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<br \/>\n&#8220;The sex is great, so why can&#8217;t we communicate outside of the bedroom?&#8221;<em> (His Mars in Capricorn is sextile your Venus, but square your Mercury.

Humans, and the relationships between them, are like that. That&#8217;s why, when attempting to shoot the white-water rapids of another person&#8217;s feelings, it&#8217;s a good thing to have a guide along.<\/p>\n<p>My Relationship Diagnostic can give you the goods on who you both were, and are, and could be.
