Ancient alchemists knew a great secret of nature - that life is maintained through continuous alternation of creation and destruction, through birth and death. This is the law of human existence - attraction and repulsion, connections and separations are interwoven in it. In the sphere of intimate relationships, this means that in order to maintain the life of the relationship between two people, the forces of attraction and repulsion must exist. There are three components in the relationship between two people: I, You and We. You and I are individual beings, while We is something else. It is called a relationship, a marriage, or some kind of relations. In order for We to exist, there needs to be a momentum between You and I. And this momentum is maintained only through continuous alternation of creation and destruction.

In today's article I will write about how the life of the relationship between two people is maintained, how to breathe life into "We". Unlike people, relationships have no physical heart in order to live independently. Have you ever listened to your heart's rhythm? A beat - a pause - a beat - a pause. The same thing is done by I and You to maintain the relationship between us - a beat and a pause; we attract each other and then we are repelled and attracted again, we gather and we break up. Connection and separation are two coexisting forces which are always balanced while a relationship exists. When these forces go out of balance, then the relationship dies - its heart stops.

As things often get lost in translation, I will explain what connection and separation represent. connection restores the general, the whole. Separation allows everyone to have their privacy as an individual, to let others deal with their individual interests and needs. Separation does not mean continuous conflicts and extremes. It is the need for freedom in a couple.

When a relationship is created between two people, each of them takes on a role. One has the priority task of creating the connection and the other - to create the separation. The one who plays the connecting part tries to do everything to preserve the integrity of the relationship. He or she makes efforts so that the two will stay together. He or she attracts and seduces the other through various things he or she likes. Therefore, he or she focuses on the things they have in common and the union between the two. The one who plays the separation part does the opposite - he or she keeps a distance in order to provide the necessary pause and therefore he or she focuses on the differences between the two.

Everyone has a built-in basic model the role of which he or she will instinctively strive for. Who are you in your relationships? Do you strive for connection or for separation?

Astrology calls the axis Ascendant-Descendant the axis of relationships. It symbolizes how others see us, it is our door through which we connect to the rest of the world. This is our physical existence with the others in the world. Through this axis and the planets associated with it we determine what type of a partnership we strive for. This includes our desired role when entering into relationships. This axis determines whether the relationships we have established can survive in a physical world, whether they can actually exist.

The planets ruling the signs, in which the axis Ascendant - Descendant is located, show us whether we tend to take the role of the connector of the separator in a relationship. If this is also confirmed by the relationship between the planets in our horoscope towards the planets in the horoscope of the partner, then the relationship has a physical chance of surviving. The basic rule is to find out what the relation is between the planets ruling the sign in which the Ascendant is located and the sign of the Descendant. Read about the Ascendant of your sign to identify those planets. Next, consider your personal horoscope according to the rules above.

Planets differ in their speed of orbital motion and when comparing two planets, the one is always slower compared to the other. Therefore we take it as a base, as if we hold it still. In this case it is important whether the faster planet recedes or approaches the slower one. So there are two options:

1. If the faster planet rules the Ascendant and along the motion of the signs (counter-clockwise), it recedes from the planet ruling the Descendant, then you tend to take the role of the separator. You expect the partners to do the connecting.

An example: Ascendant Taurus / Descendant Scorpio. The Ascendant is you and you are represented by Venus, which rules the sign Taurus. The Descendant is your partner, and he or she is represented by Mars. Venus is faster in its movement than Mars. So we need to find out whether Venus moves towards an opposition or a conjunct with Mars. In terms of the course of the signs, we see that it moves towards an opposition with Mars, which symbolizes separation. Therefore, you (Venus) seek separation and it is desirable that your partner will take on the role of the connector, so that the relationship can survive.

2. If the faster planet rules the Ascendant and along the motion of the signs (counter clockwise) it approaches the planet ruling the Descendant, then you tend to take on the role of the connector. You expect your partner to perform alienation and separation.
