Uranus signifies the sudden, the unexpected, the instantancous, It provides the magnetic allure and compelling attraction — those cru- cial ingredients to send us falling head over heels into romantic love. Neptune signifies our resulting psychologically transfixed state, it magically transports us into a tem- porary suspension of our normal everyday reality, as we blissfully tumble into archetypal versions of “happily ever after.” Neptune pro- vides the illusions which fuel our fantasies; these fantasies kindle our passions, which in turn pro- voke our obsessive state of emo- tional preoccupation with the object of our attraction. Where Uranus piques our curiosity and fascination, it is Neptune which maintains and sus- tains it. This form of failing in love does not confer the enduring -- long-term comraitment connoted by strong inter chart aspects ‘between the Suns, Moons, Saturns - and ascendants in two horoscopes._; The combined “influence”. of : ’ Uranus and Neptune is the i impe- “tus behind exciting love affairs , and clandestine encounters which: ~_.normally'do not develop, into per- o ’ manent relationships...
