SYMBOL-They lock together as life and death combined
Meaning- Join Forces

This joining of forces is a difficult thing for her because she is generating low level physical energy that brings all of her past injuries and fears into awareness. Does she want to relive these old experiences with him? Does she have to?

The dark side of her personality has joined with the dark side of his personality. Is this a good thing?

Slowly she realizes that the light side of their personalities have joined together also. The future holds the promise of both good and bad things happening to each of them. This is the awareness of the bittersweet qualities that all true relationships must share.

He has no intention of experiencing the dark side of life with her. It is troublesome that she wants to experience things he would rather forget. This makes her a little less attractive to him and he is finally able to see she is very different from what he thought she was.

In fact, she is almost the opposite of what he had thought she would be like. To him it seems she likes the pain life has to offer and that really scares him. He is not really into pain as much as he is into living in his head. He must learn to appreciate the bitter-sweet in life. He must learn to live in the present moment and not run away from responsibility.

Male experience:

He is disturbed at the intensity with which she lives life. She is not afraid to experience pain or unpleasant events and even seems to get a perverse pleasure from them. This is not at all like the living in his head that he is used too. The prospect of such intense earthy experiences is frightening to him. Staying so long in the present moment is almost more than he can bear. This is an entirely new insight into who she is. He must learn to accept the bitter-sweet in life and accept his responsibilities.

FEMALE EXPERIENCE:

It is difficult for her to imagine a life full to the brim with happiness and joy. Instead, the emptiness and pain within her yearn for expression as well and she is surprised that her emptiness and pain are an important part of who she is. Her children mean everything to her. It is important to be alone at times and important to truly and deeply feel one’s pain and sorrow. It is important to drink deeply from life’s cup. The deepest things in life are bitter-sweet.

She might not have a life of her own but she can live through the life of her children.
