Lesson 3: Design Your Dream Relationship
Uranus: Your Rule-Breaking GPS
Our composite Uranus is in (zodiac sign): _________________________
Where are you willing to shake things up in your relationship? The composite Uranus keeps things wild and crazy; it's reveals ways that you might spark the teenage dream of "us against the world." What can you do to revive your halcyon days and add some sexy rebellion to your bond? Your composite Uranus will also reveal how experimental (or not) you are as a pair—electronic gadgets and hook-up sites, optional. Your relationship to institutions and traditions, such as marriage and cohabitation can also be seen here—especially if you're a couple that eschews labels or societal norms. The side-spinning planet might also show ways that you are a chaotic couple, shaking things up or being downright destructive when you're bored by the hum-drum of coupledom. As the cosmic community builder, Uranus can reveal the types of people you'll both get along with, and even turn into a shared friend group.
