~first~ and ~second~, your cycles carry many similarities and also a few differences. For ~second~, this is a time of growth through networking, work relationships, and consolidating plans. ~first~, you will focus on work (extra effort) and probably a fair amount of frustration. 

The focal point for both of you should be your career, projects, plans, and your future. Your relationship should not pose much of a challenge, although you may experience times when you do not seem to communicate or share as much time together as usual, even that you are pulling away from each other a bit. Although it is always important to address relationship concerns promptly, during this project-related cycle you may find there is not enough time or focus to do two things at once. 

However, this is only one side of the coin. Although you may feel somewhat separated during this period, on a more subtle level you have the potential to form a deeper sense of yourselves and your relationship.

Your 4 inspires the need to find stability and comfort. It is a time to place things where they belong and to establish boundaries. The heart rules ~second~ during this cycle, so their emotions are likely to be strongly felt and quickly expressed. These aspects can complement each other. While you work on the practical side of the relationship, ~second~ can help move it to a deeper level.
