~first~ and ~second~, as a rule, when the 1 and 4 combination is found in this part of the chart, it is usually not very compatible. Although both cycles represent a strong drive and the need to put forth effort, they express it quite differently. ~first~, you are motivated in large part by enthusiasm, dreams, hope, and a can-do attitude. This is a time of opportunity for you. Take advantage of this period to focus on your goals. ~second~'s drive is born more from frustration and the need to break free from a shell that has felt restrictive for some time. (This frustration could increase before things change.) ~second~'s challenge will be to keep from directing it toward you and other loved ones. 

The 4 cycle is rarely an easy one, but it invariably brings progress and a breakthrough of some kind. You should both try to keep that in mind as ~second~ moves through this demanding period. The two of you are experiencing very different cycle challenges. ~first~, you will have to be sensitive to your partner's need to stay focused on their tasks, and ~second~ will have to recognize your need to move boldly ahead.
