IV. The Fundamental Nature of Your Relationship

Just as in the case of any solitary natural being, the energy generated by the union of two individuals possesses its own unmistakable character. It determines whether the two partners attempt to pursue their common interests dynamically and single-mindedly, or rather, cautiously and reservedly. Correspondingly, the fundamental nature of their relationship will become especially evident in one sphere of life, granting both individuals the opportunity to cope with the demands - together with chances and challenges - awaiting them there.

There are certainly relationships where the partners suffice for each other -they concentrate on their partnership exclusively or shut themselves off from the rest of the world. Your relationship is not one of these. It is important to both of you to belong to a community in which you are needed and where you can prove your mettle. The individual does not count, but rather the individual contribution to the functioning of a greater whole. This greater while might involve your work, or it might be connected with your engagement in social or family matters. In any event, the meaningful and profitable distribution of duties and tasks is the main point - despite whose contribution is the most important, the best paid or the most worthy of recognition. Each of you should contribute what you do best and receive the appropriate recognition for it.

In many respects Princess Diana will have a harder time recognizing her specific contribution. She exists in a realm of the mind with its imagination and inspirations. Repose and solitude are sources of productive energy for her, even when it sometimes seems she doubts her abilities and flees worldly responsibilities. Princess Diana's strengths are her intuition and her pronounced empathy for other people, Prince Charles, on the other hand, is well versed in the worldly rules of the game, and he will be obliged to make sure they are followed.

The character of your relationship is extremely sensitive and even mediumistic -it has a fleeting, not easily definable quality to it, and even a partnership of many years will not make it any easier for you to put a clear label on it. Either you often alter the kind of relationship you have by slipping into diverse roles, or you feel bound to a form of partnership which does not correspond to your deepest inner truths. This could cause disturbances in yourselves or other persons, or it could establish the foundation for mutual idealizations. Then, neither of you will be in a position to see your partner the way he really is. It is possible that a clear view of things is not even desirable for you. You have found each other because one of you wishes to help the other come closer to his inner truth. This can be successful, providing both of you are in agreement - consciously or unconsciously - not to force your partnership into a typical, worldly category.

Both of you possess the ability to master the highs and lows of a partnership without letting its stability suffer as a result. The bonds between the two of you are extremely resistant and have no danger of breaking should one of you go your own way. It is possible that you are bound together by other persons or by a common project, so that more than your own personal interest are involved in the relationship. A clear distribution of tasks and responsibilities will not be difficult for you, especially since each of you values order and manageable circumstances in your common activities.

Whatever both of you set out to do together: Confidence and optimism will enliven your plans and hinder any and all doubts about eventual success. The essence of your relationship is expansive and your most stubborn opponents are sure to be stagnation or limitation. The aims which you set for yourselves are often likely to be ambitious and these will demand a great deal of determination and self-confidence from both of you. You will always be able to positively reinforce each other, however, also and above all because each of you tends to focus on the talents and strengths, and not so much on the weaknesses of your partner. Though you may magically attract luck and success, this must not necessarily be in a material sense, and this often comes about anyway when you remain true to your basic convictions, beliefs and personal morality. Growing self-confidence, a more confident attitude towards one's lifestyle and a tolerant view of things can be judged as successes in life.
