The Empress & The Hermit
Intensity is a hallmark of this passionate union where both partners excel in the art of emotions. There is an almost telepathic bond here where each partner innately understands the sentiments and feelings of the other. Words are not necessary with this duo and the best of times occur when the communication is entirely physical. When this pair does converse, the topics are usually creative and imaginative. Rather than discuss world events, this couple can conspire to create works of fiction and art, or generate ideas that have lasting cultural influence. Misunderstandings arise when the Hermit's need for solitude clashes with the Empresses' love of companionship, or when the Hermit judges the Empress for her fun-loving and sensual ways. There is a bit of the prude in every Hermit who truly does need to let down his or her hair every now and then. Mutual respect for each other's feelings keeps this union faithful and often quite long lasting. Most arguments are resolved quickly and what the Empress teaches the Hermit in this regard is to let go of the past, and live in the present.
The Hierophant & Strength
This is a fast and furious alliance with Hierophants zany ideas providing a bellows for the fiery drive and ambition of Strength. These two can move mountains together and achieve big goals, but the challenge lies in the potential to burn out. Pacing is everything with these two fast talkers and big dreamers. Strength has a bit more common sense and practicality than free-wheeling Hierophant that helps make things happen. Romantically the sensuality of Hierophant appeals to the pleasure loving Strength soul — together you two know how to enjoy fine wine, food, massage and all of life's delights. Strength keeps Hierophant on a less debaucherous track with a bent toward moderation and health. Both are gifted with laser-like intuition which they can harness together to predict everything from stock trends to fashion directions. A lasting love often results from this union even if the form changes. Both are open to non-conventional arrangements such as open relationship and in many ways this open-mindedness makes for an enduring love.
