The Friction, Differences and Karma Meters: every couple faces a certain set of challenges, and the number and type of challenges determine whether your relationship will be merely interesting or out-and-out difficult.

Mercury square Jupiter
It's not that you don't love and adore your precious one with every ounce of your being. It's just that if you have to listen to that superior tone of voice for one more second, you're going to put your fist through a wall. Your matchups have a way of turning into mismatches -- with your e...
Saturn square Mercury
The two of you just can't seem to make a go of it. You're suspicious of each other. You don't see eye-to-eye. You, in particular, view your mate with a kind of contempt. That slippery, glib sweetie of yours can be a lot of fun, but seems awfully insubstantial. You can't get the kind of sec...
