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