~first~ and ~second~, when cycles fall next to each other in number sequence (like your 2 and 3) it creates vastly diverse needs and experiences for the parties in a relationship. 

~second~'s 2 indicates this will be a cycle when emotions are felt more intensely and have more impact than usual. They might feel like a protective layer has been lost, leaving them particularly vulnerable. During this same period, you will experience heightened inspiration, enthusiasm, confidence, and creativity - a light-hearted time when other emotions play a lesser role. 

The likelihood that ~second~ will be strongly affected by their feelings could lead to mood swings, emotional insecurity, or confusion. Coupled with your upbeat attitude (and perhaps lessened sensitivity and intuition), this could create challenges for your relationship.

There may be occasions when you do not understand why ~second~ is so upset about what you feel is a minor argument, and ~second~ might wonder why you seem so distracted and uncaring. ~first~, try to be sensitive to ~second~'s concerns and give them extra time and attention during this cycle. ~second~ can help by not dwelling on their emotions. If they think you are too caught up in other things, it is probably because you feel secure enough in the relationship to focus on the creative endeavors and social events that are an integral part of your current cycle. Suggest to ~second~ that they let you know if they need more attention or a more sensitive approach. 

You will both have to make room for your differences. Recognizing you are going through vastly different cycles can help you better understand each other.
