We have traveled the long and winding road of the individual birth chart. We have met the Sun, the radiant core of desire; the Moon, the tender heart of emotional need; Venus, the sweet magnet of attraction; Mars, the bold engine of pursuit. We have walked through the houses of romance, partnership, merging, and hidden sanctuary. We have learned the language of each planet, asteroid, and point as it speaks its singular longing. But all of this has been preparation. For desire, in its fullest expression, reaches beyond the self. It seeks another. It seeks the meeting, the spark, the collision and the embrace of two separate worlds becoming, for a moment or a lifetime, one.
