How can you use astrology to understand your problems getting along with your mother-in-law?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mother-in-law problems can feel insurmountable; however, your mother-in-law is ultimately just another person and there are tools such as a synastry chart that can provide you with insights to assess your relationship compatibility and help you to improve it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Try our interactive synastry tool, below. Before you start plugging in you and your mother-in-law\u2019s birth details, let\u2019s review the basics of a Synastry Chart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some people think compatibility in astrology is just about which Sun signs get along with each other. That can make a difference, but you can get more details if you compare each individual birth chart to other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This comparison is done through the use of a Synastry chart. Some issues that arise between mothers-in-law and the spouses of their children require a deeper look and a synastry chart will do just that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Synastry stacks two birth charts together so that the links between them can easily be seen. To generate a synastry chart for yourself and your mother-in-law using the tool below, ideally, you should have the date, time, and city of birth for both people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This article about birth chart compatibility reports \u201cRelationship Birth Chart Compatibility Report, Do You Belong Together?<\/a>\u201d describes birth data collection in more detail.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you don\u2019t have all the important details of each person’s birth, then this article also addresses what you can do if you are missing these vital pieces\u2026 Like, if you can\u2019t bring yourself to ask your mother-in-law for her birth time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Without further ado, here\u2019s the synastry tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you need a refresher on the planets and other celestial bodies included in an astrology chart, please see 7 Most Important Aspects of a Natal Chart<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The synastry tool highlights aspects between charts in different colors. Aspects are basically connections between celestial bodies within a chart or between celestial bodies in multiple charts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One aspect that needs no color coding is the conjunction. In a single chart, a conjunction is when two celestial bodies are depicted right next to each other. In a synastry chart, a conjunction is when a celestial body in the first chart is depicted right next to a celestial body in the second chart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ask An Astrologer<\/strong><\/p> Have a question about relationships or money or health?

Of the harmonious aspects, sextiles are coded as purple, and trines are coded as green.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The yellow lines refer to the quincunx or inconjunct, which is a type of connection that can best be described as awkward. The grey lines refer to minor aspects used by advanced astrologers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now that you have used the tool above to create your synastry chart, let\u2019s review each celestial body to give you some insight into what\u2019s happening between the two of you \u201ccelestially\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If there is a difficult aspect between you and your mother-in-law involving the Sun in either chart, your conflict with her may be about who gets attention and who gets to shine. Especially if your mother-in-law\u2019s Sun is involved, she may act out when she feels that she is not getting noticed enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She may feel threatened by the idea that you are getting more attention than she is, especially if she was used to your spouse doting on her before you came along. You may be able to head this off if you can make an effort to catch her doing something positive and intentionally give her attention for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are the one who feels that your spouse pays too much attention to their mother instead of you, tell your spouse before you do anything stupid, but also spend some time thinking about what is truly realistic for you to expect of your spouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If there is a difficult aspect between you and your mother-in-law involving the Moon in either chart, your conflict with her might evoke primitive parent-child issues. She might have trouble accepting that her spouse, her child, is now an adult because she has built her identity around the role of being a mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Moon is also associated with food. If you have a food allergy that isn\u2019t compatible with her favorite dish, this could be a really uncomfortable situation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You might be the one who can\u2019t eat nuts, for instance, but she\u2019s the one who clearly is a nut if she takes that personally, so try to keep calm in the face of her nonsense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What a person with a Moon problem often wants is to be seen as a good nurturer. The less recognition they get, the more overbearing their efforts become, so catching them doing something positive and complimenting that might chill them out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If there is a difficult aspect between you and your mother-in-law involving Mercury in either chart, you might have a problem with communication. Maybe you have differences of opinion about how to handle texting or posting family pictures on Facebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You might have to tell her directly what your preferences for communication are. Another problem with a difficult Mercury aspect, however, could be an atmosphere where it feels like people only communicate to criticize each other, even if they have the goal of improving things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes it is necessary to communicate about things that have gone wrong, but you may have a better chance of being heard if you make an effort to communicate when things go right too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tarot Reading, 5-Minutes Free!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ve recently started working with an online psychic reading company and I’ve received some great feedback.
