I was actually having something astrologically in mind, but somehow the thread took another direction.

I will ask my question anyway.

ok rant over. sorry DD to have intruded in your thread.

I didn`t feel you were intruding in the thread. Actually I agree with you. Sometimes (not specifically in this thread) it gets almost annoying, how little astrology-related things are being discussed.
On the other hand it`s exactly that openness that I really love.
What can I say? I am a walking contradiction.

Anyway, I am really interested in the synastry of these couples. Or at least in the dominant aspects, which might be the explanation of their bond.

I agree!!

Romantically, I think for everyone, but especially for celebrities (whose lives are often very difficult/disruptive for long-term relationships), we should consider not the longevity of the relationship, but how significant it might have felt to the people.

So: Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor.

It would be interesting to check Johnny Depp/Winona Ryder, what with them being so crazy into each other and then the whole thing going sour, and him having to remove part of his "Winona Forever" tattoo...was it a zany Mars/Uranus situation?

yes love conquers - much.
Still I think there is a pattern. I am just curious if it is a general one, like the progressed synastry research implies, or if it is dependent on the natals. I guess a bit of both.

BM,

yes, VERY fascinating. AS a matter of fact I even did a report on the time when i am going to London. lol

Lucia,

I agree with you. There are some relationships that seemed to have been very significant and passionate, even though somewhat destructive like Frank and Ava or Laurence and Vivien.

HRH The Queen and Prince Philip have hardly been faithful to each other!!
Picture of solidarity on the outside; a totally different story on the inside

I would say Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward are a good example because l believe he's aquarian and she's a Pisces?
Not an easy combination

Prince Charles and Camilla is another. How about Wallace Simpson and Edward. He even abdicated for her!
Let me try to find their birth details.

posted June 19, 2009 09:45 AM            

His birth time unknown. Her birth time 10.30pm.

Yes, good choice. Pity we don't have his birthtime. I think he has a really interesting chart.

So this would be my set:

"loving longterm relationships"
(1) Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward
(2) Paul Mc Cartney and Linda Eastman
(3) Johnny Cash and June Carter
(4) Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett Browning
(5) Spencer Tracey and Katherine Hepburn
(6) Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis
(7) Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson
(8) Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn
(9) Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon
(10) William Randolph Hearst and Marion Davies

- I found it interesting that there was some kind of transformation or healing involved in at least the first 6 relationships, according to interviews of at least one partner

"passionate relationships / affairs"

(1) Antonio Banderas - Melanie Griffith
- we could argue about this one, but she once said she "had to have him".

(2)Laurence Olivier - Vivien Leigh

(3) Billy Bob Thornton - Angelina Jolie

(4) Eric Satie - Suzanne Valadon
- very short, but stormy

(5) Henry Miller - Anais Nin

(6) Frank Sinatra - Ava Gardner

(7) Diego Rivera - Frida Kahlo

(8) Travis Barker - Shanna Moakler (?)

(9) Ryan O Neal - Farah Fawcett

(10) Richard Burton - Liz Taylor

if you look at my set above, Richard and Liz and Antonio and Mel are already in there.

looks like they split back around the time this thread was born.

"Jessica and Sam are soul mates. They'll never be able to cut ties."
