About Zane B Stein Expertise I WILL BE HAPPY TO answer questions about astrology in general, the meanings of planets, signs, houses, aspects, asteroids, Chiron, etc. I use Western, Tropical Astrology. Please do not ask me questions about Vedic Astrology as I am not an expert on this.
I WILL NOT ANSWER PERSONAL QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR INDIVIDUAL CHART, such as "Will I get rich?" or "Will I get married?", or "Are we compatible?" I do have a private astrological practice, and if you need to ask those type of questions, contact me privately and we`ll discuss a possible astrologer/client relationship. Also, I cannot answer questions about Vedic Astrology, or Chinese Astrology.
Also, astrology is NOT "What is my lucky stone?" or "What is my lucky color?" or "What are my lucky numbers?" Any astrologer who gives you a lucky object, or number, based on your chart, is not a real astrologer, but someone who is giving in to superstition. In order to find out how to enhance your luck, you need to have an astrologer look at your whole chart, and tell you what areas you need to focus upon, how to accent your positives, and work to resolve any problems that exist.
Experience I've been involved with astrology since 1969, taught classes on several occasions, written a number of articles and one book, and lectured around the USA, in Canada, Great Britain, Scotland and Ireland.

Expert: Zane B Stein Date: 1/13/2008 Subject: venus/mars quincunx and semisextile
Question My boyfriend and I have both, his mars quincunnx my venus and my mars semi-sextile his venus. You mentioned that for this to work that a relationship needed some very strong bonds. What exactly are really strong bonds? We have sun conjunct moon, sun conjunct ascendant, moon trine mars, moon sextile moon, mars opp sun,saturns that trine and sextile suns, venus sextile sun, venus square ascendant,mars setile pluto,his sun conjunct my sun/moon midpoint and sun conjunct north node,mercury square saturn,and many more. Is it the sun and the moon aspects that help, we really do have a very good connection and i have tremendously grown from this relationship,infact we both have, also jupiter conjunct moon helps. Any input on this would be greatly appreciated,thank-you, Leila
Answer Hi, Leila,
A close Sun conjunct Moon is probably the strongest bond one can have in a relationship. If a couple only had that positive aspect, they would feel a connection even if the relationship ended...there would always be some type of bond between them. But with other positive aspects, this bond is like glue, keeping people on the same wavelength.
Sun conjunct Ascendant is also a very positive connection. I would not say it had the strength of Sun/Moon, but it does show that the two people are able to see each other's perspectives....and that goes a long way towards a lasting relationship.
A lot of the aspects you mentioned are not bonds, but are nice to have. But those that are good bonds include:
Sun conjunct North Node.....an aspect showing a mutual desire for each other to grow and fulfill your potentials.
Mars opposition Sun....if the two of you are mature, this shows there can be a lot of energy when you two work together. On the other hand, if one or the other is not mature, this can also show frequent fights, power struggles in the relationship....but even in that case, there is a desire to be with each other.
The only real hassle I see is the Mercury square Saturn, which means there are times when the one person may feel they need to keep thoughts to themself because the other person comes across (either openly or subtly) as judgemental. But if the two of you are aware of this, and have frequent times where you open up and bare your souls to each other, this should not be a problem.
Overall, I'd say you have a good potential for a lasting relationship.
