Marriages, we're told, are made in heaven—but this institution appears to be going out of fashion in the twenty-first century. Judging from the number of marriages that end in disaster, it seems that heaven sometimes falls down on the job. However, whether you're looking for marriage or partnership, choosing a lover can be a tricky business. Where do you look for guidance? There are dozens of old wives' tales: Marry in haste, repent at leisure; Early brides make early deaths; and so on, but they're all pretty gloomy and often contradictory. Counseling is widely available, but this usually comes after you've made your choice and discovered your mistake.
Fortunately, there is a reasonably reliable system for choosing your mate. It's based on the theory that everything is “written in the stars.” We're not talking here about the daily horoscope features that appear in magazines and newspapers and on the Internet, because choosing the right partner is much more important than wondering what sort of day you're going to have. Whether you're being pursued by innumerable would-be lovers or are unable to make up your mind about “old faithful,” who has been around for years, you will find sound advice in this book that is based on the ancient theories of astrology—in addition to a few ideas from our own experiences as counselors.
We don't assume partnerships to be one man and one woman, nor do we assume that a partnership is made of two. What is written in the stars sees no classifications of gender, identity, or choice. This book has been written from the point of view of dual partnerships, but can easily be expanded to include all the loves in your life.
