In this completely upbeat, positive, and radically expanded edition of their classic book on the astrology of relationships, Steven Forrest and Jodie Forrest emphasize freedom of choice, honest communication, and mutual psychological understanding as the keys to satisfying, lasting intimacy. Drawing on countless hours with clients, the Forrests weave a coherent blend of astrology, modern psychology and reincarnation. You will learn synastry - the art of working with relationship charts - from the ground up. Beginners as well as professional astrologers will particularly love the extensive and detailed 'cookbook' sketches of specific configurations. Saturn in your House of Marriage? Your Sun squares your partner's Venus? Just look it up. The first edition of "Skymates" became a cult classic; this revised and updated edition was so big it was split into two volumes. Look for Skymates 2, which deals just with the composite chart.
Very informative for a beginner! It makes sense to me that partnership is meant to surpass all our other relationships because we are gonna share so much time together to help each other achieve the tasks of the soul. I think this means that we are evolutionarily going toward monogamy, as we only need one soulmate at a time. We work on ourselves, and then with the help of a soulmate who is so similar yet so different, we expand ourselves even further.
This book is so amazing, full of hope for better relationship! All the suggestions will serve any couple: be humble, open and compassionate.
Steven Forrest has such a wonderful way of writing about his subject. This book is not only a great book on how to practice synastry, but it is a guide to inner growth too.
