~first~ and ~second~, this cycle will produce very different influences and needs for each of you. During this period, ~second~ might feel a little left out or ignored by you, although this is most likely not your intention. Your cycle is just focused on getting things done, reaching goals, and taking advantage of opportunities, at a time when they are more contemplative, examining priorities, and perhaps questioning the reasons behind what they is doing. 

The fact that your needs and ambitions are moving in different directions could create problems for your relationship. You may find it difficult to find common ground or even be interested in each other's concerns.

Your best approach during this cycle is to give each other room to pursue your differing interests and avoid feeling you have to share everything. ~second~, especially, will need more time alone than usual, to reflect and analyze, or just enjoy a little solitude. 

During this cycle, it is probably best to keep things simple and allow for a little separation in your daily lives.
