Understanding Conflict Identification Patterns Through Astrology
Along the years there have been arguments that most astrological characters are prone to more conflicts of a specific type. Astrology simply uses the location and placements of planets during one’s time of birth, to identify themes, characters or challenges in their relationships.
Let’s say, a partner in a relationship has a strong Mars influence which is usually linked to aggression while the other partner has Venus placement which is linked to harmony and compromise, then we can say that if there’s any disagreement, partner A who is Mars influenced may resort to confrontation while the other may prefer to avoid the issue.
Same with conflict resolution, that is how astrology affects all other characters of a person like how they react to certain situations, express their feelings, work with people and lots more. Any misunderstandings with a partners astrological placement or identity may lead to series of misunderstandings or a break up eventually.
