Balancing your needs with the needs of your partner is an age-old relationship quandary. “Me” versus “we” scenarios can show up just about anywhere: You like plenty of veggies while your sweetie prefers Big Macs. You’re up ’til the wee hours of the morning while your mate starts nodding off at 10 o’clock.<\/p>\n
And of course, there’s always those prickly intimacy issues, like sexual timing and preferences, that can derail your love life altogether. That is, unless you can work out a compromise that satisfies both parties. Although we can’t tell you if compromising is the best solution for you, we can<\/i> give you a heads up about the type of me vs. we struggles that are likely to arise with your significant other. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Here’s the scoop: Because Aries rules personal desires, while the opposite sign of Libra rules partnerships, the Aries-Libra axis in your chart describes many of the me vs. we issues in your life. For instance, in a chart with 12 Houses, or departments of life, if you have Aries on the 2nd<\/sup> House of earnings, and Libra (opposite) on the 8th<\/sup> House of shared resources, then you have a 2nd<\/sup>-8th<\/sup> House axis that can prompt power struggles over money.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n To analyze this axis in your own life, it’s best if you have an astrology chart based on your date, place and time of birth, which is much more accurate than just looking at your Sun sign. You can call an astrologer at CaliforniaPsychics.com to inquire about your chart. Once you can access your chart, find the House ruled by Aries as shown in your chart and read the appropriate paragraph below.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Aries on the 1st<\/sup> or 7th<\/sup> House<\/b> – This is a classic me vs. we example.
