Once upon a time, there was a girl named Masha. She dreamed of finding her fiancé and living happily with him until death. In the evenings, she immersed herself in reading medieval romances about brave knights, where everything was perfect, and at night she quietly cried into her pillow because her latest “prince” turned out to be a frog. He was the ideal of her dreams: courageous, decisive, intelligent, and generous. With him, she felt as if protected by a stone wall. But when the candy-and-bouquet period gave way to everyday life, the man changed for the worse.
Masha became disillusioned with men, suffered deeply, and couldn’t understand why she was so unlucky in love. I hope she reads this article.
So. Why do we choose the wrong ones? Why does disappointment in a partner arise? After all, at first he seemed so perfect. How can we avoid mistakes in choosing? The Descendant (Dsc), also known as the cusp of the 7th house in your natal chart, can help answer these questions. All you need is your date and time of birth, and the date and time of birth of a potential partner.
First, you need to clarify and clearly define your ideal. Formulating the key qualities that matter to you will be helped by the Descendant of your natal chart.
The Descendant represents the image of the most suitable partner for long-term relationships. Depending on which zodiac sign this point occupies, much can be said about your ideal partner.
Descendant in Aries: you value activity, courage, bravery, and the desire to protect
Descendant in Taurus: you value patience, gentleness, friendliness, and determination
Descendant in Gemini: you value intellect, erudition, and communicativeness
Descendant in Cancer: you value sensitivity, modesty, thriftiness, and domestic skills
Descendant in Leo: you value generosity, honesty, straightforwardness, and romanticism
Descendant in Virgo: you value rationality, thoroughness, practicality, neatness, and tidiness
Descendant in Libra: you value balance, tact, diplomacy, fairness, and a sense of beauty
Descendant in Scorpio: you value mystery, magnetism, sexuality, jealousy as an expression of feelings, and determination
Descendant in Sagittarius: you value optimism, a good sense of humor, altruism, the ability to distract and entertain, and a love of travel
Descendant in Capricorn: you value diligence, frugality, foresight, and stability
Descendant in Aquarius: you value warmth, loyalty, non-confrontational nature, originality, and inventiveness
Descendant in Pisces: you value refinement, tenderness, devotion, fame, and the ability to sincerely sympathize and empathize
And now, when you finally see the previously blurred outlines of your future husband clearly and distinctly, consider that you have almost found him! In any matter, the main thing is to clearly see the goal!
The next step is analyzing the natal chart of a person of the opposite sex. For this, you need to find out their date of birth. Usually, there are no problems with this. Men and women on dates love discussing their horoscopes, so they readily share their birth dates.
There are plenty of online projects available for building natal charts. Choose whichever you prefer. First of all, pay attention to the chart ruler—the Ascendant (Asc), also known as the beginning of the 1st house. The zodiac sign located here determines the first impression of a person. However, as is known, first impressions are often misleading. Therefore, calculate the planet ruling the Ascendant. For example, the ruler of Aries is Mars, of Gemini is Mercury, of Cancer is the Moon, and so on. Check in which sign this ruler is placed. The traits of this sign will be more prominently expressed in the person’s behavior upon closer contact. If it is located in the sign or element you need (for example, your Descendant is in Aries, so the ruler should be in Aries or a fire sign), then the emotional component of their character suits you.
As the saying goes, you can’t live on talk alone. Therefore, you need to check in which sign Mars is placed, as it governs how a person acts, works, and takes care of things. Ideally, Mars should be in the sign of your Dsc.
If you need a Capricorn for your Descendant—that is, a serious, reliable partner—and the man seems a bit light-hearted to you, don’t rush to conclusions. Get to know him better and find out his date and time of birth. If the ruler of the Ascendant or Mars is in Capricorn or an earth sign, you will soon understand each other.
Let’s return to our heroine. Masha has her Descendant in Aries. Therefore, she is attracted exclusively to strong and courageous partners. And seemingly, she made the right choice, as the man had an Ascendant in Aries. In other words, the first impression was correct—he appealed to Masha. However, the ruler of the Ascendant, Mars, was in Scorpio, which did not suit her at all, as his jealousy and suspicion began to burden her upon closer interaction.
Let me give an example of a successful union of a famous (and beloved by me, why hide it) Hollywood couple.
Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn have been happily together for 30 years, and separation seems not to threaten them.
Let’s examine their natal charts to understand why they are together.
Goldie Hawn was born on November 21, 1945, at 9:20 a.m. in Washington, USA.
Ascendant in fiery Sagittarius; the ruler of Sagittarius for a daytime birth is Neptune, located in the air sign Libra. In public, Goldie Hawn gives the impression of a very energetic, life-affirming, positive, and slightly carefree woman. This energy calms down with close people. With them, she is quite calm and thoughtful.
The actress’s Descendant is in the sign of Gemini. In men, she primarily values intellectual qualities, the ability to maintain conversation on various topics, broad horizons, and communicativeness. With such a partner, she feels most comfortable, at ease, and engaged. And only to him will she be able to forgive many things and overlook flaws.
Does Kurt Russell meet these requirements?
He was born on March 17, 1951, at 10:42 a.m. in Springfield, USA.
Ascendant in airy Gemini, Descendant in Sagittarius. The ruler of Gemini for a daytime birth is Proserpina. She is also in the air element—Libra (while Goldie Hawn’s Ascendant ruler is not in a fire sign, her Mars is in fiery Leo).
As we can see, the mutual requirements of the partners are fulfilled, which became the foundation for building such long-lasting, stable relationships.
I repeat—only the foundation! Much in a couple’s horoscope also depends on other important factors: the positions of the Sun and Moon, pre-natal aspects, and, of course, the aspects between the partners’ planets in each specific synastry.
Another important point. If the Ascendant is in the final degrees of any sign, and the entire 7th house falls into another sign, you should consider that sign as well. Compare the descriptions by sign (see above) and decide which one appeals to you more. I have such a situation in my chart: Descendant at the last degree of Capricorn, while the entire 7th house is in Aquarius. The qualities of Capricorn do not appeal to me at all (my father is a Capricorn—I’ve had enough of that). I chose an Aquarius man by Sun (but that’s another story).
I wish all readers to meet their ideal
