when browsing through widget world's astrology article databse, i came across this:

because it is very hard to read in that chat session kind of way, i copied and pasted the text here and have cleaned it up a bit. i left in all of her capitalizations, but i took out the personal references (specific questions asked by people logged in to the chat session), so you might want to read the chat session all the way through after reading what i've copied and pasted:

Lecture #5 Relationships
The reason we are going to have a discussion is because I think there are many HOLES in your ability to understand charts. Some of you do not look at the priorities..in a chart and you focus on something that is entirely IRRELEVANT and then make that the most important part. So I am going to take priorities tonight and discuss what I think one should look at in ORDER OF IMPORTANCE in an astrological synastry chart.

When we put two charts together, we will call one A and one B. First we take A's chart and put B's planets around it in order to find out how B affects A, and in the second go around we put B's chart in the inner wheel and then A's chart around it to see how A effects B. You HAVE TO DO IT THIS WAY or you MISS SOMETHING. One person can get more out of a RELATIONSHIP than another. Now tonight I want to talk about KARMIC RELATIONSHIPS
as seen in a chart so this is totally about COMPLETION of karma with someone and how you would look at it. Most all intense relationships are attached to a karmic influence...the connections that we look for first are planets in the 1st/4th/7th/10th/12th in EITHER COMBINATION. The angular planets and the 12th house planets EMPHASIZE RELATIONSHIPS. Just as in a natal chart by itself, if there are many angular or 12th house planets the person will EMPHASIZE RELATIONSHIPS.

Right now I want you all to look at your charts and count up the TOTAL PLANETS in the ANGULAR AND 12TH HOUSES. Now the significance of this is that those of us who have many planets in those houses THRIVE on relationships and HAVE TO BE IN ONE or we feel LIKE WE ARE NOTHING. I would consider 6 or more to be many, not counting the asteroids. Now look at your RELATIONSHIP and the person's planets in those same houses. In other words...how many planets does your lover have in YOUR ANGULAR AND 12TH HOUSES?
This is significant to tell you how they fit into your relationship. 4 or more is very SIGNFICANT. NODES COUNT INTENSELY. The NODES are of primary importance as are the Sun and Moon and Venus comes in 4th.

I am finding now in charts I am doing that Pluto is playing a big role in SEXUAL OBSESSION, so if Pluto (either yours or the other's) is on the angles or conjunct the NODES, SUN, MOON, VENUS, you have INTENSE SEXUAL KARMA. The reason we have so much sexual karma happening now is to get in touch with the KUNDALINI break through of ENERGY that is occurring on this planet. Look at your chart and note the house and planet conjuncting PLUTO. Pluto activates the SEXUALITY of the PLANET that it touches. Now, what does Pluto in the lover's chart
connect to in your chart?

Okay, now, the commitment planet is SATURN meaning long term commitment. Write the house and sign that YOUR SATURN IS IN...and also note if your Saturn is conjunct any of the lover's planets, NODES or angles. Remember we are going by importance of connections...the outer planets conjunct each other have NO SIGNIFICANCE, only the OUTER PLANETS as they CONJUNCT THE INNER PLANETS. If we do not have an interchange of SATURN either through the planet or through angular houses or through Capricorn then we don't have much hope for commitment.

Use in synastry 6° max orb, unless it is a stellium and then it is all drawn together.

Now..let's go to Uranus. This planet shows PAST LIFE IN ATLANTIS and the coming together of the SOUL GROUP. So note the house and planet YOUR URANUS is conjuncting. It has to be a PERSONAL PLANET.

Now we come to Neptune and SOUL MATES. If Neptune is conjunct either's charts - on the ascendant, descendant, Sun, Moon, Venus or NODES, then you have a soul UNION. Look in both your charts..and see what you see about that.

There is an excellent book called ASTROLOGY AND RELATIONSHIPS by ACKER.
