Interpretation: The concept of a union or partnership is taken quite far, and there is a loss of individuality with the couple or group favored instead.
In terms of positives, this may foreshadow harmony and positive reinforcement; if complementarity prevails and is established in these unions, this can be very helpful for these people’s evolution and can allow them to come out of this mutuality, cooperation, or community more mature.
In terms of negatives, dependence on others is formed, and we may build something on quicksand since we are not the only ones in control and since there are various things that depend on “others.”
This can make us more sensitive and aware of external perspectives, and it can take longer to fulfill ourselves since we have to go looking outside of ourselves for facets that should be fulfilled.
Forces of personal affirmation may be lacking and we may then have to seek out help, external advice, or third-party mediation; thus, we are no longer completely in the driver’s seat.
This requires us to take risks on an interpersonal, social, and affective level, and we have to develop trust in others if we want to be able to move on to a higher level.
Energies of jealousy may also have an impact, whether we use them or are subjected to them, and they may exacerbate cupidity or resentment.
Astrological points to pay attention to: We very much find the Libra / 7th house archetype in these energies, and the forces of Venus take effect on a social, interpersonal, and affective level.
Interpersonal Projections are particularly important with this reading and may thus be found on various levels (it is important to check the ways in which the Anima/Animus may be expressed).
It is important to keep an eye on Venusian energies in Transits and Progressions just as much as in your birth chart.
By extension, we can also take a look at the various social Air energies, as well as certain transpersonal forces.
Saturn’s energies (and those of Earth) may give certain indications regarding longevity and durability. Pluto may bring passion into the mix, but also possessiveness and therefore jealousy.
Remarks: This hexagram represents powerful magnetism that forces us to leave our comfort zone and go towards “others.”
