QUESTION #1: HOW DO WE FEED THE PRIMAL FIRES OF OUR LOVE?

To answer this one, we listen to the composite Sun.

Some couples are radiant, and their radiance is magnetic. They may not be theatrical or charismatic. As individuals, they may even be shy. Yet something draws us toward them: a certain warmth, a sense of the life-force shining from them, a sunny quality in the aura that emanates from them. They go through interpersonal complexities just like any other pair of human beings, and yet watching them one simply knows they will pull through. Their relationship is robust and resilient; its recuperative powers are self-evident. We naturally have faith in them. The sheer vitality of their bond declares it. Their relationship has a strong immune response to the natural challenges of intimacy. They get through things.

Want to be like them? Start by understanding that together your composite Sun lies in Virgo, the sign of the Craftsperson. Right away, that's a good thing because we all know that love is hard work, and a craftsperson might thrive on it. With your composite Sun in this sign, you have taken on "quite an evolutionary project." You've got a "challenging task" ahead of you.

Notice how immediately these words make it sound as if you've made some kind of major cosmic error in meeting each other? That's not the point at all! The point is that Virgo is about rolling up your sleeves and getting on with it—whatever "it" may be, from cleaning the house to dealing with each other's unresolved psychological issues. Whoever said, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" was not a Virgo. Remember that astrologically the composite Sun represents vitality. For you two to feel alive together, you have to feel as if you are growing, changing, and pressing ever higher.
