What is it you want to know when you are checking out a romantic relationship? Basically two things. First, you want to understand the emotional needs, temperament, hang-ups and issues each person brings to the relationship — in other words, the relationship potential of each person.  And then, of course, you want to understand how the emotional needs, temperament, hang-ups and issues of one person relate to those of another person in order to see how they would get along — in other words, the compatibility analysis.

The Psyche and Eros Relationship Analysis consists of 4 sections: the first two sections describe the relationship potential of each person, and sections 3 and 4 are the compatibility analysis, describing how the two people experience each other and the relationship from the perspective of each person.

SECTION I:  How Alan McElroy Relates to Other People

Taurus on 7th house cusp

     Your intense need to be in control of your situation along with your dread of losing anything either emotionally or materially is the underlying reason you are so drawn to people you feel are reliable and dependable. You tend to attract partners with money.

     You are passionate and deeply emotional but often rather reserved and secretive. Your partners tend to be less complicated and often quite possessive. They become insecure when they are not sure about what you are thinking or feeling. Jealousy may become an issue.

     You do like having your own way and one way or another you manage to get it. Despite your powerful persona, however, you are emotionally far needier than most people realize for love and acceptance from people who admire your strength rather than fear it.

     Your partners tend to be charming, romantic and often creative. While they may outwardly yield to your need to lead the way, they are by no means weak. Sometimes they are gently manipulative and can be quite stubborn. Physical attractiveness matters to you.

Venus, Ruler of 7th house, is in 12th:

     As far as you’re concerned, love and money are private matters.  You don’t discuss either very openly.  Especially love matters.  At some point in your life, you’ll have at least one love affair that must be kept secret either because of the identity of one of you or because one or the other is already committed to someone else.  If it’s your lover who is otherwise committed, it’s a real dilemma for you.  You are not used to being on a back burner.  If you are the one with the previous commitment, it’s an even greater dilemma because you feel a great sense of responsibility as well as affection for your lover but may be unable to leave the first relationship because of a problem that requires your help.  There is another reason you may not be leaving. The secret relationship may feel more exciting or romantic than your regular relationship but, on some level, you know it can’t work.  With your regular partner, you have much-needed alone time.  Relationships are important to you but you cherish that time to yourself.  With the other liaison, it doesn’t exist.  It is intense and all-consuming and there is no place to hide.  You so value your private moments that at some point you would either withdraw from it or behave in such a way that the relationship would become more distant.  Sound familiar?  Your greatest relationship dilemma is balancing your need for intimacy with your need for privacy.  Perhaps it’s simpler to do it with one person.

Saturn Conjunct Asc. with an orb between 1 and 3 degrees

     You were not encouraged to be overly expressive when you were a child and as an adult still tend to be somewhat reserved. You often give the impression of being serious or even stern when, in truth, you are simply feeling shy or self-protective.

Venus Sextile MC with an orb of less than 1 degree

     Love cannot exist for you without admiration and respect. You like to feel proud of your relationships and often form close ties with those in positions of authority. You are socially conscious and attract friends and good fortune through your personal charm and talent.

Sun Conjunct Neptune with an orb between 3 and 5 degrees

     You are sensitive and mystical and tend to become absorbed in your own private, imaginative world. If you are fortunate, you have discovered a creative or spiritual outlet for your dreams. Otherwise they may manifest in escapism at the expense of close ties.

Moon Conjunct Asc. with an orb between 3 and 5 degrees

     You are more expressive of what you’re feeling than you sometimes realize. People respond to you in a very immediate way because they can intuitively sense what is emotionally motivating you and they feel comfortable. You may attract public attention at times.

Venus Square Uranus with an orb between 3 and 5 degrees

     You need to be close and you need to be free. This is a major life conflict which has always created complications for you in close personal relationships. One manifestation of this may be a tendency to pursue the unavailable or the unreliable.

Sun Sextile Jupiter with an orb between 1 and 5 degrees

     You have a genial, pleasant quality which inspires confidence in others. It sometimes surprises you the way people trust you with their innermost thoughts. Moral integrity is important to you and, while you are not judgmental, you will not violate a principle.

Sun Sextile Pluto with an orb between 1 and 5 degrees

     You regenerate yourself through periodic transformations of your life situation. Your relationships can only endure if your partners grow and change with you so that you wind up still pointed in the same direction. Otherwise you will leave them behind.

Mercury Quintile Uranus with an orb between 1 and 3 degrees

     You have an innovative turn of mind and may have a talent for an unusual subject. Your ideas are often considered to be ahead of your time. You can be somewhat impersonal and detached – even with close ties. You need to share controversial ideas with friends.

Moon Conjunct Saturn with an orb between 5 and 8 degrees

     You don’t have as much self-confidence as you appear to have. You long for love and affection but have never felt, since childhood, that you could have it, simply by being. You feel you have to earn it in some way. You like close ties to need and depend on you.

Pluto Conjunct MC with an orb between 5 and 8 degrees

     Power struggles often enter into your relationships – both personal and professional. You have an innate fear of being dominated owing to your experience with a controlling parent. Strong people fascinate you. You’re a little afraid of people you love.

Jupiter Square Asc. with an orb between 5 and 8 degrees

     There is a quality about you people tend to trust. They confide in you and generally feel better in your presence which has a kind of healing quality. Sometimes you tend to draw close relationships who originally came to see you for some sort of help or guidance.

Moon Conjunct Venus with an orb between 8 and 10 degrees

     Lucky you. As a child you received a great deal of love leaving you not only with the capacity to love deeply yourself but with the security of knowing that you have value and that there will always be people you can turn to. You form love ties easily.

Sun does not aspect Moon

     Your parents’ interests and emotional natures, while not in violent conflict, were so different it was hard to understand how they ever came together. You associate close relationships with both longing and loneliness and may be unclear about roles.

Sun does not aspect Asc.

     People do not receive an accurate first impression of you. Owing to shyness or lack of confidence, you have cultivated a persona which is not expressive of the person you experience yourself to be. This creates complications in personal relationships.

Moon does not aspect Mercury

     It’s as if the emotional and rational sides of your nature take turns expressing themselves. You are either utterly detached and objective about a situation or so emotionally involved you have no perspective. You are not in touch with your feelings.

SECTION II:  How Margaret McElroy Relates to Other People

Aries on 7th house cusp

     You, who can charm others so easily, are attracted to people who are both passionate and direct. You may tend to project your own aggressive and controlling tendencies onto other people and then resent them for it. You cannot be alone. You need partnerships.

     You form impulsive attachments. You have a knack of pursuing the people you are attracted to without appearing overly aggressive or anxious. Others may marvel at the way ordinarily aloof people respond to you. You unconsciously arouse competitiveness.

     You are charming, romantic and attractive and need to know that other people like you. Self-assertion frightens you and when circumstances make it necessary you usually feel victimized and over-react. You admire people who are strong and aggressive.

     Ideally, you connect with people who share your views and are less inhibited than you are about fighting for them. You admire their courage and independence. While they may outwardly appear to be the more dominant partner, this is rarely actually the case.

Mars, Ruler of 7th house, is in 2nd:

     Your pleasant, gentle persona often belies the intensity with which you go after what you want.  The explanation might be you form close relationships with people both personally and professionally who are more obviously aggressive.  Your modus operandi tends to be subtler and more civilized.  However, your determination to realize your goals makes you more competitive than most people realize — particularly where financial interests are concerned as you are quite acquisitive.  You have such a clear, well-thought-out approach, you might be a good advisor for others’ interests as well as your own.

     When you are in love, you have a problem with jealousy and possessiveness even though, ironically, you might be rather a flirt.  Your famous concern for fairness isn’t always operative here.  You are intensely sexual and you never forget a wound although you might not express this outwardly at the time you’ve been hurt.  You wait.  It may not even me conscious.  You throw yourself almost obsessively into achieving another goal with frequent success.  When the offending person or situation resurfaces, you are courteous but cool.  It’s over.

Moon Square Mercury with an orb of less than 1/2 degree

     You are sensitive to the point of being rather thin-skinned and too easily hurt. You’re often being emotional when you think you’re being rational and detached when you are expressing how you feel. It’s never wise to argue with you until you’ve calmed down.

Moon Square Mars with an orb of less than 1/2 degree

     Your love-hate relationship with your mother has led to an emotional ambivalence in current close ties. You are, at once, very needy and very angry about your neediness. This may make you somewhat cantankerous at times. You are very quick-tempered.

Mars Trine MC with an orb of less than 1/2 degree

     Power is sexy to you and even when a relationship is not a romantic one, you find ambitious go-getters in positions of authority very magnetic and fascinating. It is important to you that close ties not only share your goals but are prepared to fight for them.

Mercury Conjunct Mars with an orb between 1/2 and 1 degree

     Since you tend to be rather irritable and sharp-tongued at times you require a partner with a sense of humor who is not too thin-skinned. You are bright, curious and restless and enjoy the company of those who are equally high-spirited and enterprising.

Mercury Trine MC with an orb between 1/2 and 1 degree

     Since you were a child in school, your intellectual and communicative skills attracted the attention of those in positions of authority and you were always able to make your way by being exceptionally clever. This facility serves you well as an adult.

Pluto Sextile Asc. with an orb of less than 1 degree

     You are not always aware of your own magnetism. Others find you intense and, sometimes, controlling. You have such strong fears of losing relationships that sometimes you imagine that people are turning against you when the opposite is more often true.

Moon Conjunct Pluto with an orb between 3 and 5 degrees

     You had an over-controlling parent and something inside of you decided that no one else would ever have that kind of control over you again. You tend to repress your deepest feelings and fears and are surprised when close ties suggest you’re manipulative.

Neptune Conjunct Asc. with an orb between 3 and 5 degrees

     You have a gentle, romantic, dreamy quality and people often find you mysterious or elusive. You have an uncanny facility to communicate with people without speaking and to tune into their innermost thoughts. You connect best with those equally sensitive.

Mercury Square Pluto with an orb between 3 and 5 degrees

     You’re not awfully good at being disagreed with. You delve into matters, think them through thoroughly and expect your conclusions to be universally shared. Flexibility is not your strong suit. No one should try to lie to you or keep things from you. Somehow you ferret out others’ secrets although you keep your own.

Sun Trine Uranus with an orb between 3 and 5 degrees

     You have a unique view of life and have been fortunate in finding friends and partners with whom you can share it. Your relationships will be most successful when you also have in your life an interest, goal or project which absorbs both of you equally.

Moon Sextile Asc. with an orb between 1 and 5 degrees

     You are more expressive of what you’re feeling than you sometimes realize. People respond to you in a very immediate way because they can intuitively sense what is emotionally motivating you and they feel comfortable. You may attract public attention at times.

Saturn Sextile Asc. with an orb between 1 and 5 degrees

     You were not encouraged to be overly expressive when you were a child and as an adult still tend to be somewhat reserved. You often give the impression of being serious or even stern when, in truth, you are simply feeling shy or self-protective.

Venus Trine Saturn with an orb between 5 and 8 degrees

     While you may not be emotionally demonstrative or sentimental, you love deeply, lastingly and loyally. You may be strongly drawn to people either much older or much younger than you are. Love, for you, has always entailed an enormous amount of responsibility.

Sun Conjunct Jupiter with an orb between 8 and 10 degrees

     You have a genial, pleasant quality which inspires confidence in others. It sometimes surprises you the way people trust you with their innermost thoughts. Moral integrity is important to you and, while you are not judgmental, you will not violate a principle.

Moon Conjunct Saturn with an orb between 8 and 10 degrees

     You don’t have as much self-confidence as you appear to have. You long for love and affection but have never felt, since childhood, that you could have it, simply by being. You feel you have to earn it in some way. You like close ties to need and depend on you.

Sun does not aspect Moon

     Your parents’ interests and emotional natures, while not in violent conflict, were so different it was hard to understand how they ever came together. You associate close relationships with both longing and loneliness and may be unclear about roles.

Sun does not aspect Asc.

     People do not receive an accurate first impression of you. Owing to shyness or lack of confidence, you have cultivated a persona which is not expressive of the person you experience yourself to be. This creates complications in personal relationships.

SECTION III:  The Relationship from Alan McElroy’s Point of View

     Alan McElroy, the following information explains how you view your relationship with Margaret McElroy, and explores some of the major issues that arise.

Your Venus Conj Margaret McElroy’s Jupiter (orb < 1 deg)

     The affection and good feeling you share are so strong, you are inclined to share projects and activities which will be lucky and fulfilling for you both. Margaret McElroy’s kindness and generosity expands your feelings and your love inspires Margaret McElroy to be successful.

Your MC Sextile Margaret McElroy’s Jupiter (orb < 1 deg)

     Sometimes Margaret McElroy’s expansiveness, while personally appealing, seems a bit laid back or at odds with your personal life goals. You are wonderful friends. However, you can be somewhat affected by Margaret McElroy’s enthusiasm which can lead to overreactions or impulsiveness.

Your Sun Conj Margaret McElroy’s Sun (orb 1-5 deg)

     You enjoy an easy camaraderie and generally feel quite comfortable together. People tend to perceive you as similar types. One of the things you like about each other is your compatibility of goals and the lack of underlying tension in your relationship.

Your Moon Conj Margaret McElroy’s Mercury (orb 1-5 deg)

     You really do understand each other. You love to talk to Margaret McElroy because you each intuitively understand not only what is being said but what is meant. If one of you tends to be dishonest, this can be a disadvantage. Lying simply won’t work.

Your Moon Conj Margaret McElroy’s Mars (orb 1-5 deg)

     When the two of you are together, you are competitive and combative. This might be owing to a sexual energy which is present and with which you are not entirely comfortable. You may feel that if you are not especially assertive, you will be somehow overrun.

Your Mercury Conj Margaret McElroy’s Asc. (orb 1-5 deg)

     Sharing ideas is a very important element of your relationship. From the beginning, you sensed Margaret McElroy was someone you could talk to, who would understand you and, even when you disagreed, would provide a good sounding board for pet theories or business schemes.

Your Asc. Conj Margaret McElroy’s Mercury (orb 1-5 deg)

     There is something about your persona which gives Margaret McElroy a sense that you would be a good person to talk to because you relate well to others’ ideas. This is true. The intellectual tie between you transcends disagreements and creates understandings.

Your Asc. Conj Margaret McElroy’s Mars (orb 1-5 deg)

     From the first meeting, Margaret McElroy’s physical presence affected you so strongly it was almost unsettling. You continue to find Margaret McElroy interesting and stimulating but when you need to relax, you seek quiet places where you can be totally alone and private.

Your Moon Square Margaret McElroy’s Moon (orb 1-5 deg)

     While you may like and respect each other and understand each other intellectually, there is an emotional distance which might prevent you from being truly at home with or comfortable with each other. You may, at times, find each other’s moods or responses puzzling.

Your Moon Square Margaret McElroy’s Pluto (orb 1-5 deg)

     This is a relationship you were compulsively drawn into before you even decided you liked Margaret McElroy who can exert an odd power over you which you try at times to resist – rarely with success. The emotional tie is obsessive and evokes your deepest longings.

Your Mercury Square Margaret McElroy’s MC (orb 1-5 deg)

     This would be a very good working relationship. You connect very strongly with Margaret McElroy’s goals and ambitions and can, through your communication skills, work together to attain them. Margaret McElroy respects your intelligence and opinions and will frequently defer to your judgment.

Your Venus Square Margaret McElroy’s Saturn (orb 1-5 deg)

     Sometimes Margaret McElroy puts too much pressure on you which can be a turn-off — especially when that pressure becomes too demanding, too jealous or, in some way, too inhibiting of your pleasure. A natural response to withdraw only makes it worse. Margaret McElroy secretly longs for your approval.

Your Asc. Square Margaret McElroy’s Moon (orb 1-5 deg)

     Margaret McElroy identifies with you in a very personal way and you respond in a rather physical way to Margaret McElroy’s emotional state. Sometimes this can create great bonding and closeness and sometimes it can lead to irritation. This is a very intimate and emotional tie.

Your MC Square Margaret McElroy’s Venus (orb 1-5 deg)

     Margaret McElroy is attracted to your social or public image even though it isn’t entirely congruous with personal values and tastes. Sometimes you may feel that Margaret McElroy’s values and affectional needs may make achieving your personal goals somewhat more complicated.

Your Sun Trine Margaret McElroy’s Uranus (orb 1-5 deg)

     You may have met in a group situation and the basis of the strong mutual attraction was the unusual interests you share. You enjoy Margaret McElroy’s independence. It stimulates you to act on your own uniqueness, knowing you have the support of an admired friend.

Your Moon Trine Margaret McElroy’s MC (orb 1-5 deg)

     You intuitively understand Margaret McElroy’s dreams and ambitions and the emotional support you provide plays an important role in Margaret McElroy’s achievements. Margaret McElroy respects and admires you, depends on you and may unconsciously be seeking your approval when seeking success.

Your Mercury Sextile Margaret McElroy’s Pluto (orb 1-5 deg)

     Margaret McElroy respects your intelligence and may be more influenced by your thinking than you realize. You, in turn, admire Margaret McElroy’s magnetism and authority and find it motivates you to develop and analyze ideas which  might not otherwise have surfaced.

Your Mars Sextile Margaret McElroy’s Venus (orb 1-5 deg)

     The sexual energy between the two of you was immediate and powerful from the first meeting. This could never be an entirely platonic relationship. If you are not lovers, you will be confidantes and love and sex will be your favorite topics of conversation.

Your Sun does not aspect Margaret McElroy’s Moon

     While you may communicate very well on a rational level, sometimes you may feel as if Margaret McElroy doesn’t really understand you. You may find Margaret McElroy’s emotional responses incomprehensible as well. You have to make a special effort to share and connect.

Your Mercury does not aspect Margaret McElroy’s Mercury

     You don’t think alike. Even if you are in emotional accord, there are times you seriously question if you see the same world since, while your perceptions are not necessarily in conflict, they are so different. Discussions are rarely fruitful or pleasurable.

Your Mercury does not aspect Margaret McElroy’s Venus

     There is something about Margaret McElroy’s personal style and taste and way of expressing affection which doesn’t comfortably merge with your own. It may not exactly lead to war, but it may have delayed the initial attraction. Your philosophies aren’t quite in sync.

Your Venus does not aspect Margaret McElroy’s Venus

     While you may be very fond of each other, you’re quite dissimilar in some important ways. Your tastes diverge widely and you tend to express love very differently. You don’t like the same people and have different interests. You wish Margaret McElroy dressed differently.

Margaret McElroy’s Sun in your 12th house:

     There is something about this relationship which is not easy to define. You connected easily and almost immediately found your lives closely intertwined – not always comfortably. There is an odd sense of destiny. You may be involved by chance not by choice.

     You find you extend yourself more for Margaret McElroy than almost anyone else you’ve known and receive for your troubles precious little appreciation. It’s almost as if you were obliged to pay off an old, unremembered debt.

Margaret McElroy’s Moon in your 9th house:

     This relationship has a firm spiritual base. Margaret McElroy’s intuitive understanding of your religious, philosophical and political ideas nurtures those beliefs and enables you to express them more easily through teaching or writing. Margaret McElroy has a lot to teach you.

     You would travel very well together because you are so emotionally in tune that you tend to be curious about the same things and would enjoy exploring the same far-off places. You also work well together on publications. Ethnic origins can be an issue.

Margaret McElroy’s Mercury in your 12th house:

     Something about the way Margaret McElroy talks and thinks makes you a little uncomfortable. Margaret McElroy seems to tune into the dark, hidden side of you that you don’t entirely accept and brings it to the surface. Sometimes you respond by withdrawing.

     On the other hand, it’s nice to be understood. To the extent that Margaret McElroy’s perceptions relate to shared spiritual interests and are helpful, they force you to deal with difficult matters and improve your perspective. Don’t let Margaret McElroy justify a weakness.

Margaret McElroy’s Venus in your 1st house:

     You love being with Margaret McElroy. It makes you feel loved, attractive, valued and wonderful. Happily, your presence has the same effect and the pleasure of being together is quite mutual although Margaret McElroy was probably attracted before you were.

     If either of you is creative, this relationship will be helpful because it encourages you to be the best that you can be and your very presence gives Margaret McElroy the confidence to experiment with less caution. This tie is marked by affection and shared values.

Margaret McElroy’s Mars in your 12th house:

     Margaret McElroy doesn’t always have a terrific influence upon your state of mind or will power. Often, when you are together, you find yourself sliding back into bad habits or old behavior patterns. Feelings of confinement or insecurity come to the surface.

     While Margaret McElroy may appear to approach matters quite aggressively and forthrightly, you often have an uneasy sense of things going on behind your back which are not entirely in your interests. If you tend to repress feelings of anger, Margaret McElroy brings them to the fore.

Margaret McElroy’s Jupiter in your 12th house:

     When you are hurting or in trouble, this relationship can help you in a very special way. It is as though Margaret McElroy can intuit sources of anxiety you yourself may not be aware of. You feel better not because of Margaret McElroy’s advice but by an unconsciously exuded energy.

     If you have a weakness or bad habit you’d like to overcome, Margaret McElroy’s presence may bring it to the surface and make it difficult to resist the temptation of “just one more time.” It becomes  hard to set limits. Margaret McElroy makes them seem almost unnecessary.

Margaret McElroy’s Saturn in your 9th house:

     This person isn’t going to let you get away with anything, that’s for sure. Margaret McElroy has very high standards and the success of this relationship will depend, in part, on the way you both maintain them. Margaret McElroy may hold stricter or more traditional moral views.

     Your relationship may place certain restrictions upon you with regard to travel. Matters relating to education, philosophy, publications or spiritual matters will be a serious concern of both of you and may require some sacrifice or hard work.

Margaret McElroy’s Uranus in your 8th house:

     You find something unsettling about Margaret McElroy’s very presence. Even if Margaret McElroy is not the sort of person you are ordinarily attracted to, you find yourself responding  in a sexual way. At the very least, intense curiosity and interest are aroused.

     Margaret McElroy’s unusual talents and special abilities not only fascinate you,  they may stimulate you to concoct innovative financial schemes which can be of mutual material interest. Business ties would be erratic.

Margaret McElroy’s Neptune in your 11th house:

     The best friends you will have in common will be involved in the arts or share your spiritual interests. Perhaps you met through a group which focused on these matters. Your own friendship with Margaret McElroy will seem to develop almost magically and may feel quite destined.

     Actually, you probably enjoy doing things by yourselves so you may not have a very active social life together. There will be times so-called “friends” may create problems by saying things which aren’t so and creating confusion and misunderstandings.

Margaret McElroy’s Pluto in your 9th house:

     However long this relationship may last, it will have a profound effect upon your basic world view and philosophy of life. On some level, Margaret McElroy is your teacher and your guide. Even if you don’t always agree, Margaret McElroy will enable you to clarify your views.

     At some point you may take a trip which will not only alter your relationship, it will alter your lives. The two of you will also be especially affected by shared experiences relating to education, publishing, politics or a legal or a theological matter.

SECTION IV:  The Relationship from Margaret McElroy’s Point of View

     Margaret McElroy, the following information explains how you view your relationship with Alan McElroy, and explores some of the major issues that arise.

Your Sun Sextile Alan McElroy’s Jupiter (orb < 1 deg)

     Alan McElroy has a calming effect upon you. When you are together, you feel wonderful. Alan McElroy gives you the confidence to grow and expand and may be quite helpful to you in material ways by opening doors and providing opportunities.

Your Moon Sextile Alan McElroy’s Mercury (orb < 1 deg)

     You really do understand each other. You love to talk to Alan McElroy because you each intuitively understand not only what is being said but what is meant. If one of you tends to be dishonest, this can be a disadvantage. Lying simply won’t work.

Your Sun Conj Alan McElroy’s Sun (orb 1-5 deg)

     You enjoy an easy camaraderie and generally feel quite comfortable together. People tend to perceive you as similar types. One of the things you like about each other is your compatibility of goals and the lack of underlying tension in your relationship.

Your Sun Conj Alan McElroy’s Neptune (orb 1-5 deg)

     There is a strong element of fantasy and idealization in this relationship and it is important to make sure that the person you think is so wonderful is really the person before you. Clarity is not the key word here. There is a lovely sense of Shangri-la.

Your Mercury Conj Alan McElroy’s Saturn (orb 1-5 deg)

     Alan McElroy tends to intimidate you and you don’t like to express ideas which are in disagreement. Even when you know you are right, you wind up feeling wrong. You often feel that Alan McElroy  misinterprets your ideas and  doesn’t understand you.

Your Mercury Conj Alan McElroy’s Asc. (orb 1-5 deg)

     Sharing ideas is a very important element of your relationship. From the beginning, you sensed Alan McElroy was someone you could talk to, who would understand you and, even when you disagreed, would provide a good sounding board for pet theories or business schemes.

Your Mars Conj Alan McElroy’s Moon (orb 1-5 deg)

     Temper tantrums and irritations are real dangers to the viability of this relationship. Alan McElroy’s sensitivity often annoys you to a point where you say or do things which are truly wounding. Whatever your tie, there is always emotional turbulence or conflicts.

Your Mars Conj Alan McElroy’s Saturn (orb 1-5 deg)

     On one level Alan McElroy fascinates you and motivates you to be the best that you can be. On another, there is something about Alan McElroy which pressures you somehow and can lead to resentment. If this is not dealt with openly, it can inhibit sexual responsiveness.
