SOLAR FIRE INTERPRETATIONS REPORT
Solar Fire Synastry Interpretations
(c) 2004, Esoteric Technologies Pty Ltd
This report has been written to introduce you to the concepts of astrology and how to get started in relationship astrology. Astrology is a complex and meaningful science which takes years to study and apply successfully; however, we would like to whet your appetite with this report, and encourage you to deepen your understanding through other means.
Astrology is a study of the connection between planets and life on Earth. It is based on a concept that energy patterns form between other planets and Earth and that these energies affect our lives as individuals and communities.
An astrological chart, also known as a horoscope, natal chart, or birth chart, records the relationship between the planets and the signs of the Zodiac. Charts can be calculated for the birth of a person, a community, an event or anything that seems momentous. The horoscope is as individual and unique as a fingerprint.
When using these interpretations, please bear in mind that, inevitably, every chart will contain some contradictory influences, and as a result certain interpretations of different items in the same chart may seem difficult to reconcile. However, this may still be an accurate reflection your chart, as it is likely that you do experience conflicting desires, events and circumstances in your life. Usually it is the responsibility of an astrologer to synthesise these apparent contradictions in order to present a cohesive and realistic interpretation of the dilemmas of the chart.
Please also be aware of the fact that each person has positive and negative influences in the chart, and therefore in their lives. The challenge is to accept and overcome the negative influences, so that we can successfully focus on the positive traits. This report outlines the influence of both people's charts on each other. This is called relationship synastry meaning the comparison of two horoscopes and the correlations discovered. It is likely that the report will show both the strengths and weaknesses of the relationship synastry. Any advice given is meant to be an aid to a person taking responsibility for their own lives and their own choices within a relationship. The ultimate decision rests with each individual. The author and publisher accept no liability for any adverse affects of this report.

ASPECTS FROM DAVID HELFGOTT TO GILLIAN HELFGOTT
David's Moon Trine Gillian's Mercury
Orb 1°01' Applying
This is an ideal combination for a personal relationship in which two people enjoy ease of communication. David and Gillian enjoy each other's company because they are able to communicate comfortably. They enjoy discussions and are not concerned about arguments. Many personal relationships fail simply because two people are unable to communicate both their thoughts and feelings. The synastry of these two planets means that David and Gillian are able to tell each other not only what they are thinking, but also how they are feeling. They are able to do so in a manner that is not threatening or hurtful to each other. Therefore David and Gillian are both safe in the knowledge that they are not going to overreact, trampling on each other's feelings. Likewise David and Gillian are easily able to acknowledge the value of the each other's thoughts and feelings. At times David and Gillian may even feel they are telepathic together, seemingly not needing words to communicate but understanding each other's unspoken thoughts. Together David and Gillian are able to take a balanced approach combining passion and reason. They have an understanding and rapport that enables them to clarify their own thoughts and feelings. David is likely to be the more intuitive of the two, while Gillian is likely to rely more on the intellect when communicating.

David's Mercury Quincunx Gillian's Mars
Orb 1°04' Separating
A feisty relationship is the result of this combination of the planets Mercury and Mars. When David and Gillian are together the sparks fly. The nature of these sparks depends on other aspects of the relationship. On the one hand David and Gillian may be positively stimulated by each other's company, enjoying lively conversations and energetic activities. Both David and Gillian learn much from each other and may enjoy facing challenges together which in turn help them to move forward in their own lives. However, it is more likely that this combination indicates a combustive reaction when David and Gillian are together. The relationship is likely to be fraught with misunderstandings and angry reactions. In particular Gillian is aggressive, perhaps even trying to bully David to do things her way. Gillian honestly believes that she knows what is right for David and energetically sets about trying to achieve her goals. However, David resents these tactics and becomes critical of everything that Gillian does. There seems to be no middle ground and tempers are frayed. David is usually able to have the last word, but Gillian knows how to act in a way that is guaranteed to escalate any argument. Of course there is always the possibility that both David and Gillian enjoy the drama of this relationship. However, if this is not the case then the lesson is to learn to respect each other's differences and to channel all of the energy created by this partnership into positive activities and lively discussions.

Orb 1°08' Applying
This is the ideal combination for a love union because it creates a strong sexual attraction and compatibility. David and Gillian are likely to fall in love at first sight enjoying a passionate union, the type of love affair featured in romance novels. The durability of the relationship depends on other connections between David and Gillian. However, if the love union is long term, both David and Gillian can rely on the sexual attraction to help them through troubled times. David and Gillian enjoy spending time together, in particular welcoming pleasure trips, romantic outings and artistic activities. They may also find pleasure in a joint creative project. Gillian is likely to be the more assertive partner, both in bed and out of bed. Gillian enjoys taking the lead and David is happy to acquiesce. While this combination is ideal for marriage or love affairs, it can also be a creative connection for friendships or work associations that involve working on an artistic project. However, it is important that both individuals remain focused on the creative project at hand unless a sexual flirtation is welcomed and appropriate.

Orb 1°25' Separating
This is a feisty relationship full of healthy competition and possibly sexual frisson. In this association both David and Gillian are challenged to produce their best efforts. They feel the sparks fly when they are together, bringing out an ambitious side to both their natures. As friends or work colleagues they enjoy the rivalry, and it is always possible that their shared drive and energy could become sexual, tipping their relationship into a love affair. David and Gillian enjoy energetic activities such as sports and outdoor games. Together they feel able to conquer the world and overcome all obstacles in their path. Depending on other aspects of their relationship David and Gillian may be lovers or friends, but this strong influence of the planet Mars can also indicate a work partnership that requires plenty of drive and initiative.

Orb 0°31' Separating
This association can bring joy to both David and Gillian, depending on the nature of other aspects of their relationship. If other aspects are positive then David and Gillian are likely to enjoy each other's company, giving and taking. Although they may hold opposite beliefs or find pleasure in different ways, they are tolerant of each other's differences. In fact they enjoy the stimulation of each other's differences. Ancient astrologers consider the planet Jupiter to be of beneficial affect in each person's life. Hence the mostly positive influence of this combination on David and Gillian's relationship. There is a chance that other tensions in their union adversely affect this beneficial influence. If this is the case then David and Gillian are more likely to have differences of opinion over values, beliefs and pastimes. These differences can be a source of tension rather than a source of joy.

Orb 0°50' Applying
A strong bond is formed as a result of this combination of the planets Jupiter and Saturn, in which both David and Gillian learn a great deal from each other. In many ways David and Gillian take an opposing approach to their relationship. David is more adventurous, keen to explore new territories. He takes a somewhat philosophical approach to this relationship. On the other hand Gillian is cautious, often taking a slower and more practical outlook. Fortunately they enjoy these opposing qualities, finding equilibrium in their relationship. Gillian finds her day enlivened by David's personality. In turn David enjoys having a stable and patient companion to bounce his ideas off. Gillian learns much from David's wisdom, gaining a greater understanding of her own nature. Together David and Gillian can achieve much success in either their personal lives or a joint project.
David's Jupiter Trine Gillian's Pluto
Orb 0°22' Applying
David and Gillian are rejuvenated through their relationship. Life takes on a new glow from their first moment of meeting. In each other David and Gillian have found a soul-mate, someone who understands them at a very deep, metaphysical level. As the relationship develops both David and Gillian are challenged to reach deep within themselves in order to change and grow. Depending on their individual traits they can either enjoy this process of change or they can resist. Either way they are being dared to view their lives in a different and broader manner. David and Gillian encourage each other in this growth process through co-operation and understanding. Together they feel able to overcome all obstacles. As a result it is likely that, through this union, both David and Gillian begin to lead more creative lives.
David's Saturn Trine Gillian's North Node
Orb 1°23' Separating
The planet Saturn is a vital ingredient in relationship astrology. It is the planet that represents stability and commitment and is seen by astrologers as the necessary glue that holds a relationship together on a long-term basis. Of course not everyone is seeking long-term commitment, but for those who are Saturn is a welcome sign. This is particularly true of connections between one person's Saturn and another person's Sun, Moon, Ascendant or Nodes. In this case David's Saturn is combining with Gillian's Node indicating that this is a significant relationship. David and Gillian feel strongly drawn to each other, perhaps experiencing a sense that their relationship was written in the stars. In other words they may feel as though they were destined to meet and form a union. This is a significant relationship.

David's Uranus Opposition Gillian's Moon
Orb 1°12' Separating
The saying 'expect the unexpected' could be applied to this combination of Gillian's and David's planets. There is an element of excitement and adventure when Gillian and David get together, but there is also an element of insecurity. Both Gillian and David enjoy the thrill of being in each other's company exploring new territories together, but many relationships start with the thrill and ardour of romance only to have it fade later. This is the problem to be faced by Gillian and David. Unless they have other connections between more permanent or personal planets in their charts, Gillian and David are in danger of a growing discontent. There is a lack of stability that feeds both Gillian's and David's insecurities. Gillian becomes needy and David becomes distant and emotionally withdrawn. The problem is that Gillian feels that she cannot rely on David. What was once an adventure no longer seems so exciting. As a result David's impulsive nature becomes a source of discomfort for Gillian. On the other hand David thinks that his creativity is being stifled by Gillian's emotional needs. This belief may cause David to rebel, finding it difficult to commit to Gillian. This relationship, if a personal one, is likely to require a lot of freedom and an unorthodox approach in order for it to last. While this is a difficult combination for a personal union, it can be a positive one for less personal relationships such as friendships or a working project which requires creative and innovative ideas.
David's Uranus Quincunx Gillian's Saturn
Orb 0°52' Separating
This is a difficult combination of planets in relationship astrology indicating an imbalance between commitment and freedom. On the one hand Gillian and David feel drawn to each other, seeing qualities in each other that they feel they lack themselves. Gillian and David believe that they will learn from being together. On the other hand; however, tension soon results as they fail to reconcile their differences. Gillian is likely to take a more serious approach to this union, feeling the need for a strong bond. However, David is hard to pin down, preferring the freedom of non-commitment. David wants to initiate change and growth even though Gillian is likely to resist. It is possible that Gillian becomes frustrated and tries to control David's behaviour. Gillian may even resort to criticism which ultimately only undermines David's creative impulses and self-confidence. If this happens David is likely to rebel and leave the relationship. Both Gillian and David need to strive for a balance between commitment to each other and independence.
David's Neptune Square Gillian's Venus
Orb 1°46' Separating
This association of the planets Venus and Neptune indicates idyllic love. Gillian and David meet and fall deeply in love, fully appreciating each other's unique qualities. Romance abounds. Together Gillian and David feel that they have found true love such as only Romeo and Juliet and Daphnis and Chloe experienced. However, there are problems associated with this combination of planets. Gillian and David find that the initial idyllic love can start to prove illusory in the long term. As the relationship develops it becomes more difficult for them to escape from the demands of the mundane world into a world of romance. They become disillusioned. They would rather stay lost in a sea of blissful love than be reminded of the responsibilities of their separate lives. Both Gillian and David are vulnerable in this state of pretence. They need to be wary of circumstances or people who prey on their impressionable state. In particular they need to avoid any spiritual groups, drugs and artistic enterprises that may be deceptive in their nature. Once Gillian and David have learned to face their relationship honestly and with discrimination then they can enjoy a creative and loving partnership as well as artistic and spiritual pursuits.
David's Pluto Quincunx Gillian's Venus
Orb 1°04' Applying
This is a powerful combination of planets indicating a strong bond, whether in a friendship, love union or work association. Gillian and David experience a compelling attraction to each other, one that easily becomes passionate and intense. Depending on the nature of the relationship, Gillian and David could easily end up in bed together. Positively they are transformed by this relationship, becoming more influential and powerful in their own lives, even if initially they have to overcome moments of feeling powerless. However, they also experience intense emotional battles as the passionate nature of the union becomes difficult to control. If Gillian and David are in a romantic liaison, these emotional struggles can overflow into the bedroom adversely affecting sexual relations. It is also possible that this combination of planets indicates a love affair that is intense and fraught with emotional problems. While both Gillian and David experience the tension, Gillian feels more overwhelmed. She may even feel bullied by the strong personality of David. Gillian finds it difficult to live her life effectively while in this relationship. David struggles to understand Gillian and becomes impatient, wanting her to be more assertive. David doesn't realise how domineering he appears to be. The challenge for both Gillian and David is to direct their passion in a positive direction, possibly a shared artistic or creative pursuit.
