I've been studying astrology since my teens, but it has taken me until my fifties to appreciate the extent to which the attention I've paid to synastry was a self-protection mechanism and an exercise in ego. That old saying about either wanting to be right or loving (or some shit like that. I don't remember exactly.) is super annoying, but also true. But I would replace the second option with curious. As in, do you want to be "right" by looking at a potential or new partner's chart, telling yourself that you know who and how they are? Or do you want to be curious about who and how they live out the template they've been given, treating them as the mystery they are?
I now choose the second option given the opportunity every time (While at the same time I'll admit I've spent over 20 years now working my way steadily through all the water signs and it might be time to move on, Asha. Ha!)
