Astrology: Meeting the Challenge of Relationships
by Noel Tyl
(Article originally published in The Llewellyn Journal.)
Sooner or later, every one of us becomes aware that we cannot exist alone. It is hostile to the human condition: we can't procreate, we can't really know ourselves; we can't get on with life without the cooperation of others. Indeed, no person is an island.
We are taught and groomed to marry; to do otherwise is off the path. There must be something wrong with that person who is not in a relationship. It's no wonder that astrologers see clients continuously who have intense concerns and questions about relationship, that state of living deemed mandatory by society but for which little specific instruction is given for fulfillment. It is extremely difficult to relate to another, to live happily ever. In days past (but still practiced in some cultures), marriages were arranged. People were put into relationship to fulfill societal and family benefits. The marriage unit was more important than the individual growing into his or her potential.
