Since getting married is a very serious desition, and you already have a four year relationship to think of. You have to be very honest to yourself about this. If you feel you can get in this relationship with all you heart then no astrological advice is needed. Remember that every relationship has little everyday problems to solve, relationships without problems are dead.
Acordingly to your chart, being a Virgo and a Scorpio Ascendant I think your main problem with Bogdan is that he tends to irritate you a lot sometimes, so if you love him strongly enough to undestand him better and accept him like he is, you should be fine.
Any way, after reviewing your charts, Dana Maria and Bodgan seem to be better on a friendship or project partnership than on a marital relationship.
I add down a synastry report for you to read and maybe other astrologers can bring more light to this matter.

ASPECTS FROM DANA MARIA TO BOGDAN
Dana's Moon Square Bogdan's Mars
Orb 1°26' Separating
In astrology Mars is the planet of drive and determination whereas the Moon is the planet of feelings. When these two planets form certain patterns the combination can be volatile. In this case there is a lot of friction in the relationship. Dana is likely to feel overpowered by Bogdan. Dana often wonders why she is so easily upset by Bogdan. No matter how hard she tries to calm her emotions Bogdan just seems to trigger heated feelings. Dana feels a strong attraction to Bogdan, but she is also aware that this is a troubled association. It is likely that Dana believes that Bogdan lacks sensitivity to her feelings. Bogdan also senses the friction, but is perhaps not so bothered by it. Bogdan is more concerned because at times Dana seems like a wet blanket. Bogdan's patience is tested because he feels that he has to console Dana's feelings before he can achieve his goals in life. Bogdan also feels a certain excitement in this association, but is aware that the tension can be an obstacle to fulfilment. If both Dana and Bogdan are aware of the problems and face them with honesty then an understanding can be reached and a rewarding relationship result. When this occurs both Dana and Bogdan begin to feel that their lives have become more effervescent with the advent of this relationship. This combination is most difficult for a deeply personal relationship such as marriage or a close personal friendship. It can be advantageous for a working relationship that requires a lot of hard work and energy. For instance, building a house together may be a good way of using the energy of this combination.

Orb 3°30' Separating
Many astrologers believe that a connection between the serious planet Saturn and a personal planet such as the Moon is important, enabling the relationship to be long lasting. However, this can also be a difficult connection. Dana and Bogdan can both suffer from feelings of discontent and insecurity within this union. They work hard to cover up their sense that some emotional warmth is lacking, but there are times when they despair of getting their needs met. Dana feels this lack of emotional warmth keenly. It is difficult for her to relax and feel truly appreciated in this relationship. Bogdan brings a certain coldness to the union, finding it difficult to generate emotional warmth. Bogdan may feel that his attempts at intimacy are misunderstood and met with an overly-emotional reaction from Dana. Much work needs to be done in order to understand each other. On a positive note this combination of planets can indicate a committed to resolve difficulties. Therefore Dana and Bogdan have the strong possibility of being able to stay in this relationship on a long-term basis and reap the rewards of a stable and secure union. A satisfying relationship can result from Dana's and Bogdan's patience and persistence.

Orb 2°50' Separating
The saying 'expect the unexpected' could be applied to this combination of Dana and Bogdan's planets. There is an element of excitement and adventure when Dana and Bogdan get together. They both enjoy the thrill of being in each other's company exploring new territories together. Many relationships start with the thrill and ardour of romance only to have it fade with the routine of daily life. However, Dana and Bogdan know how to keep the exhilaration for the long term. In particular Dana is very attracted to Bogdan, acknowledging that Bogdan adds a lot of spice to her life. She feels life is more joyful since she has met Bogdan. Dana may be the one to nurture some of Bogdan's more adventurous plans or she may simply enjoy going along for the ride. Bogdan feels that Dana gives him companionship and comfort prompting him to new heights of innovative ideas and activities. It's possible that both Dana and Bogdan enjoy an unusual and innovative hobby or work project. This is a fun combination for a personal union, but will need other connections between two people's planets to cement a long-term intimate relationship. This combination is also ideal for less personal relationships such as friendships or a working project that requires creative and innovative ideas.
Dana's Moon Semisquare Bogdan's Neptune
Orb 1°29' Applying
Romance is a major theme in a union that involves the Moon and the planet Neptune. With this combination of planets Dana and Bogdan both feel that they are meant to be together. Perhaps they believe that it is a union of their souls. This is the height of romantic love. However, with romantic love there is always the possibility of disillusionment. Dana and Bogdan are likely to stumble across obstacles in this relationship because of unrealistic and overly idealistic expectations of each other. It is difficult for them to maintain the heights of love first attained at the beginning of the relationship. Misunderstandings can easily arise. After the first flush of love Dana feels that her emotional needs are being ignored, that Bogdan does not understand her. It is even possible that Dana feels that Bogdan is being deceptive in some manner. There is a danger that Bogdan does feel the need to hide behind a facade, failing to be his true self. Perhaps Bogdan feels that he cannot live up to Dana's expectations. Despair within this relationship needs to be avoided by both Dana and Bogdan facing their feelings of loss in previous relationships. They need to face the problems honestly in order to avoid the breakdown of trust and ultimately the relationship. As a result Dana and Bogdan may be able to recapture their sense of belonging together which was so strong in the initial stages of their union.
Dana's Moon Trine Bogdan's North Node
Orb 7°00' Separating
Both the Moon and the Nodes individually are significant in relationship astrology. The combination of the Moon and the Nodes indicates that this is an important personal relationship, one that changes the course of Dana's life and deeply affects Bogdan. Dana and Bogdan feel strongly drawn to each other, perhaps experiencing a sense that their relationship was written in the stars. In other words they may feel as though they were destined to meet and form a union. Whether the path of this relationship is smooth or rough, Dana and Bogdan's paths were meant to cross. The nature of this association depends largely on other aspects of Dana and Bogdan's charts. Passion may ignite if the right ingredients are involved, or friendship may be most appropriate choice of relationship.
Dana's Sun Sextile Bogdan's Mars
Orb 2°59' Separating
This combination of the Sun and the planet Mars is a positive one for a working partnership that calls for concentrated effort on a joint project. It also ignites a strong sexual spark for a personal relationship, one that continues to flare throughout the union. It is an exciting combination. There is never a dull moment when Dana and Bogdan are together. They love and fight with energy. Dana and Bogdan are hard working and energetic, achieving more together than they can on their own. Together Dana and Bogdan are able to tackle most of life's challenges with confidence and a positive attitude, taking the initiative, rather than sitting back and waiting for things to happen. Together they also enjoy taking few risks in life, particularly ones that satisfy their sense of adventure. They need only be wary of becoming too impulsive, of taking unnecessary risks that lead to dangerous ground. Dana feels that Bogdan provides the impetus and drive to help achieve her full potential. Dana is aware that her personality also helps Bogdan achieve his goals. Bogdan is excited by Dana's powerful personality and is inspired in his ambitions. This is certainly a progressive relationship that makes an impact on both Dana and Bogdan and those around them.
Dana's Sun Trine Bogdan's Jupiter
Orb 6°29' Separating
The Sun and the favourable planet Jupiter are combining suggesting that this relationship is blessed with good fortune and happiness. It is an ideal combination for an intimate relationship such as marriage because it indicates shared philosophies on life and the ability to grow together. Together Dana and Bogdan land on their feet no matter how difficult a situation. They seem destined to be in the right place at the right time. Dana and Bogdan enjoy each other's company, feeling all of the benefits that come with this union. Their optimism and enthusiasm are infectious, and as a couple they are popular. In particular Dana shines as a result of her association with Bogdan. Dana feels able to embrace life and all it has to offer. She is aware that her union with Bogdan is truly blessed and that it helps her to achieve her full potential. Bogdan knows that his horizons are continually expanding through his association with Dana. Bogdan feels able to conquer the world. In fact it is likely that both Dana and Bogdan enjoy travelling, studying or teaching together. They enjoy sharing anything that expands their minds and contributes positively to their lives.
Dana's Sun Square Bogdan's Uranus
Orb 4°23' Separating
This is a relationship full of verve and romance, particularly in the first throes of love. Dana and Bogdan are attracted to each other from the moment that they first meet and continue to experience excitement and joy in each other's company. Despite this sense of adventure, Dana and Bogdan may have trouble maintaining a committed, long-term relationship. This combination of the Sun and the planet Uranus suggest more an erratic and thrilling relationship, rather than a stable one. The initial enthusiasm can fade as Dana and Bogdan begin to experience the need to accommodate each other's needs and desires in this union. Dana and Bogdan are each determined to maintain their individuality, which can present problems for any union that requires compromise. Dana and Bogdan both want to do things their own way and become rebellious if the other person presents any obstacles. This is particularly true for Bogdan, who stresses his individuality and can be unwilling to adjust to the demands of a serious relationship. Bogdan does not want to be overridden by what he perceives as Dana's strong personality and may have problems showing a long-term commitment. Likewise Dana believes that Bogdan stands in the way of her expressing her true nature. On a more positive note this association brings something new and original into Dana and Bogdan's lives and they both feel enlivened as a result. The long-term success of this union may depend on other connections between Dana and Bogdan's astrology charts.
Dana's Sun Semisquare Bogdan's Pluto
Orb 0°37' Separating
This combination of planets indicates a relationship that is life changing, whether it be a friendship, love union or work association. Both Dana and Bogdan feel a powerful attraction for each other in the initial stages of the relationship. It is as if they are both compelled to relate, perhaps even in response to strong opposition from outside sources. Once the exciting first stages of the union have passed, it is likely that both Dana and Bogdan become embroiled in a struggle for dominance. There is no longer an impetus for change and the challenge has become wearisome. Now Dana and Bogdan's relationship resembles a battleground in which both try to change the other. It is possible that these battles become emotionally abusive, perhaps even violent. It is important for both Dana and Bogdan to avoid senseless battles from which neither emerges triumphant. Money may be at the root of the problems, or it could be that sexual matters are a key theme in this relationship. Either way it is likely that Dana feels overwhelmed by this union to the point where she suffers from low self-esteem. There could be a tendency for Bogdan to try to bully Dana that may only make matters worse. Dana is faced with the challenge of delving deep into her personal resources to find a sense of self-value. Bogdan is a powerful force in this union and needs to learn how to use his power wisely.
Dana's Mercury Square Bogdan's Moon
Orb 1°00' Separating
Arguments can cause upset feelings in a relationship with this combination of planets. All types of associations can suffer some setbacks under this influence, but personal relationships are particularly fraught with difficulties. Friction seems to result no matter how Bogdan and Dana try to approach each other on intimate matters. Bogdan and Dana's relationship suffers because of unspoken problems, or perhaps either Bogdan or Dana speaks their mind too often. Either way the problem is communication. No matter how hard both Bogdan and Dana try they cannot seem to understand each other's way of seeing things and how each other feels. Bogdan communicates on an intuitive or feeling level whereas Dana is the more rational thinker. As a result Bogdan and Dana alternate between passion and rationality, having difficulty understanding the other person. Bogdan and Dana's behaviour seems at odds with their needs, and they do not seem to be able to comfortably settle down in the relationship. On a more positive note Bogdan and Dana may not mind a little friction in their intimate relationship. However, it's more likely that Bogdan and Dana would both do well to work on their communication skills. As a result Bogdan and Dana can develop skills which help to overcome the problems enabling them to better understand each other.
Dana's Mercury Trine Bogdan's Neptune
Orb 0°08' Separating
This is an inspirational relationship whether it be a romance, friendship or a creative working partnership. Both Dana and Bogdan feel excited by this union. Their imaginations are enlivened. In particular Dana's ideas are encouraged by Bogdan's creative input, enabling her to better express herself. It's possible that they work together on a creative project. Communication has an easy flow, more intuitive than concrete. Dana and Bogdan establish an empathetic bond which enables them both to exchange their thoughts and feelings with ease. If involved in a romantic liaison then Dana and Bogdan are likely to feel very much in love, viewing their union through rose-coloured glasses. Whatever the nature of the relationship, it is likely that Dana and Bogdan share an interest in the arts, a spiritual path or a philanthropic activity.
Dana's Mercury Sextile Bogdan's Pluto
Orb 0°40' Separating
An intense relationship is the result of this combination of the planets Mercury and Pluto, with communication playing a key role. Consequently it is vital that both Dana and Bogdan communicate honestly, keeping all emotions and thoughts out in the open. This helps them to keep the relationship dynamic rather than volcanic. If Dana and Bogdan enjoy penetrating discussions and passionate pastimes then all is well. If they don't then their union could become overwhelming, particularly for Dana. Together they experience a change of perception which is ultimately rewarding, although initially could be disruptive. Notably Bogdan challenges Dana's way of viewing the world. This can be an excellent combination for personal and spiritual growth. Consequently it is an ideal combination for a therapist and client relationship. It can also be beneficial for an intimate relationship or friendship, if both partners enjoy intensity, and a demanding working association.
Dana's Venus Trine Bogdan's Moon
Orb 6°36' Applying
Compatibility is the key theme to this combination of personal planets. This is an ideal combination for an intimate relationship. Bogdan and Dana feel comfortable with each other, confident that they understand each other's feelings and share a common bond. They may even feel that they have found their soul-mate, someone who understands them at a deep level and in whose company they take great pleasure. It's likely that Bogdan and Dana have a lot in common and enjoy sharing their personal life and pastimes. Romance is at the heart of this relationship. Bogdan and Dana delight in spending time together pursuing artistic pleasures, visiting the theatre, art galleries, concert halls and other such outings. Perhaps one of them or both take part in an artistic pursuit. Bogdan and Dana enjoy picnics in picturesque and romantic surroundings, and perhaps entertaining guests in their own aesthetic surroundings. Money may also play an important role in this relationship. Together Bogdan and Dana enjoy making and spending money. They are comfortable with the decisions that they make together regarding money. There is a lot of love being shared in this relationship prompting co-operation and a certain sense of harmony. While this combination is ideal for an intimate relationship, it is also a positive one for friends, associates in the community, work colleagues and family members. It augurs well for any long-term relationship.
Dana's Venus Square Bogdan's Sun
Orb 2°41' Separating
This combination of the Sun and the personal planet Venus in relationship astrology is a difficult one. It indicates that the two people have conflicting values when it comes to personal relationships, which creates problems for any long-term association. Bogdan and Dana feel a strong attraction to each other, but they cannot seem to communicate in a harmonious manner. Joint decisions about relationships are difficult. Bogdan and Dana argue about subjects such as the future of their relationship, family associations, money matters and creative pastimes. They just can't seem to agree. Bogdan feels frustrated. On the one hand Bogdan is drawn to Dana. On the other hand Bogdan knows that he is losing his identity in this relationship, and is often floundering to express himself. Dana is also frustrated. She feels overwhelmed by Bogdan's powerful personality and is unable to get on with her creative pursuits. Neither Bogdan nor Dana really feels that they are benefiting from this union, and yet they feel drawn to try to resolve the problems. Depending on other connections in this relationship Bogdan and Dana may finally decide to end their association or they could resolve their differences. They may need to seek counsel on how to resolve their differences.
Dana's Venus Square Bogdan's Mercury
Orb 1°23' Separating
A positive blend of the personal planets of Mercury and Venus is a desirable one for an intimate union, and certainly advantageous to any association that requires harmony and collaboration. Therefore it is unfortunate that this combination is a difficult one. This association of planets indicates incompatibility in a relationship. No matter how hard Bogdan and Dana try they find it hard to relax in each other's company. Disharmony seems to infiltrate their union at every turn. The problem is that Bogdan and Dana simply cannot find any common ground for agreement. Their opinions and values clash, which makes any shared activities fraught with tension. In particular Dana feels that she is subjected to Bogdan's unnecessary criticism. Dana feels unappreciated and lonely, unable to share warm and loving moment required in her relationship. On the other hand Bogdan believes that he cannot express his opinions freely without being misunderstood. Bogdan loses confidence in his communication abilities and possibly withdraws his attention from the relationship. The extent of the difficulties in this relationship depends on other aspects of Bogdan and Dana's association. The positive side is that Bogdan and Dana are attracted to each and can work towards improving their communication skills. In this way they may learn to value each other.
Dana's Venus Square Bogdan's Venus
Orb 0°12' Separating
A love relationship can both benefit and be adversely affected by this combination of the planets Venus. Ancient astrologers considered the planet Venus to have most beneficial effects and this can be seen clearly in relationship astrology. Both Dana and Bogdan are attracted to each other, seeing the very best of themselves reflected in the other person. On the whole they enjoy each other's company, making the most of their joint interests. Dana and Bogdan are likely to enjoy various pleasurable outings ranging from alfresco meals to visits to the theatre. However problems arise once the initial attraction wears off and they start to disagree on how their relationship should be approached e.g. the blend of freedom and closeness, intellect and emotion, personal time and social activities to name a few. Then it is more difficult for Dana and Bogdan to make the most of their relationship. Their success in overcoming these difficulties depends on other aspects of their relationship. This combination is more common in love relationship, but can also indicate a friendship.
Dana's Venus Square Bogdan's Jupiter
Orb 0°51' Applying
Love and excitement are strong themes of this relationship. Both Dana and Bogdan feel a strong attraction and enjoy many pleasurable activities. Together Dana and Bogdan enjoy good fortune, exploring the realms of higher learning, culture, religion or metaphysics. They may delight in travelling to foreign lands, meeting new people and discovering different ways of life. Alternatively they may take delight in joining a study group closer to home. Initially this union expands their horizons and the attraction is strong. It is difficult for Dana and Bogdan to remain committed to each other, unless there are other indications of commitment in their association. The trouble is that Bogdan cannot seem to settle down, always looking for new horizons. He wants romance and excitement on a grand scale and expects Dana to join in. Dana also wants romance, but needs the security of commitment. Bogdan does not want to make a commitment. Bogdan enjoys his freedom and cannot understand why Dana is so insecure about their relationship. As the relationship progresses Bogdan becomes more impatient which in turn increases Dana's insecurities. Unless there are other aspects of the relationship, which indicate commitment and stability, this union, is likely to falter on rocky ground.
Dana's Venus Sextile Bogdan's Uranus
Orb 2°57' Applying
This combination of planets indicates an instant and vital magnetism. It is the type of attraction in which Dana and Bogdan take one look at each other across a crowded room and feel the sparks. Romance is alight and the relationship develops at a rapid rate. Friends are amazed as the couple's union becomes more and more intense. In the short term this relationship provides fun, excitement and stimulation for both Dana and Bogdan. The long-term scenario depends on other aspects of their relationship and the ability of both Dana and Bogdan to respect each other's need for autonomy. It is all too easy for the initial flame to burn out of control. For this reason this combination of planets can be more prominent in relationships that contain the intrigue of a love affair, rather than the stability of a long-term union. Dana feels particularly struck by Cupid's arrow, ignited by the very presence of Bogdan. She wants her love to be strong enough to keep the spark of excitement in the relationship. However, Bogdan is hard to pin down and is likely to become bored once the initial excitement starts to fade unless he is given plenty of room to be independent. It may be difficult for Bogdan to make a commitment to this relationship unless he is given the freedom to inspire Dana without feeling tied down to promises. A strong bond can be achieved if Dana and Bogdan can find the right balance between intimacy and personal freedom. If this is achieved then they can both enjoy a long-term relationship full of joy and romance.
Dana's Venus Trine Bogdan's Chiron
Orb 2°12' Separating
Together Dana and Bogdan have opportunities to heal the painful experiences of previous relationships and forge a strong and loving bond. This is an important union. When an intimate bond is formed, the love can soothe emotional pain and bring a sense of freedom and joy. On the other hand it can also reinforce a person's wounds, sending them into emotional turmoil and forming negative relationship patterns. In this case Dana and Bogdan have a chance to overcome their old relationing habits through their love for each other. They may even help each other view their childhood experiences in a different light. This is true whether they are lovers or friends. Dana's love is particularly soothing for Bogdan, encouraging him to discover new talents. In return Bogdan teaches Dana the benefits of a warm and loving relationship.
Dana's Venus Trine Bogdan's North Node
Orb 1°13' Separating
This is the combination for lovers. The North Node and Venus are both highly significant in relationship astrology indicating that this association was written in the stars. It is also likely that Dana and Bogdan are in love, desiring to form a close and romantic bond, rather than remain friends only. Passion, romantic love and an intense desire to relate are central to this relationship. Within moments of meeting Dana and Bogdan feel they have known each other for years. They enjoy each other's company, discovering pleasures in common. If circumstances dictate that their relationship can only be a friendship, they would be wise to tread very carefully. This is not an association to take lightly. It could easily take over Dana or Bogdan's lives. In some circumstances this combination of Venus and the North Node can indicate an association formed for artistic or creative projects.

Orb 7°58' Applying

He appreciates Dana's love of intimacy and her attitude to this union. Together they share a mutual respect and affection. While this combination is most likely to indicate an intimate love union, it can also augur well for friendships, family relationship and work associations.
Dana's Mars Conjunction Bogdan's Uranus
Orb 1°13' Separating
Sexual attraction plays a key role in this relationship. Dana and Bogdan find each other's company exciting and feel compelled to explore an intimate relationship. They are aroused both in and out of the bedroom. The initial stages of the relationship are particularly stimulating, and the union continues to flourish as long as Dana and Bogdan give each other the freedom to follow their individual interests. The electric nature of Dana and Bogdan's association is such that they need time away from each other in order to slow down and experiences some tranquillity in their separate lives. This is not a peaceful or stable relationship but rather one that offers ongoing stimulation and change. For this reason the relationship may be short-lived, a thrilling adventure which soon loses it spark through a lack of commitment. However, other aspects of Dana and Bogdan's nature may provide the tenacity and steadiness needed for a long-term commitment. The challenge is to allow each other plenty of independence.
Dana's Mars Opposition Bogdan's North Node
Orb 5°23' Separating
The fiery planet Mars and the fateful North Node provides a powerful combination of forces. Dana and Bogdan are dynamite together. This can be positive in that together they can achieve their goals. However this union can also be a threat to their life goals if they allow their desires to take over. In some cases this union could threaten either Dana or Bogdan's safety. Violence, and violent situations, need to be avoided at all times. Passion may be a driving force in this liaison. Both Dana and Bogdan feel a strong attraction. A personal relationship may be fraught with difficulties. This combination may be better used in a partnership that works on an energetic, demanding or physically powerful project - one that involves plenty of hard work and challenges.
Dana's Jupiter Quincunx Bogdan's Moon
Orb 2°12' Applying
Although there can be some difficulties with this combination, on the whole this is a positive combination. Bogdan and Dana enjoy each other's company and feel a certain zest for life when together. Bogdan and Dana share a need for fun-filled adventures and the capability of achieving their goals. They both feel that the world is their oyster which is ready to explore together. This can include holidays in far-away places, adventure travel and also encompasses any activity which expands their minds and views of life. This is a meeting of higher-minds. Bogdan feels that Dana expands his horizons. Bogdan feels safe and appreciated in this relationship. Dana knows that Bogdan is a comrade in arms when it comes to fun and adventure. Dana knows that she is truly appreciated for her generosity and optimism. Together Bogdan and Dana can conquer the world. Nothing seems too far-fetched. And this is where problems can lie. It is possible that neither Bogdan nor Dana know when enough is enough. There is a saying that 'you can have too much of a good thing'. This is one of the underlying problems of this association. Bogdan and Dana need to make sure that they do not become too grandiose in their dreams. Overinflated ideas of their capabilities are not helpful and can lead both Bogdan and Dana into troubled waters. Another complication can arise if Bogdan and Dana do not share the same values, because morals and beliefs play an important role in this relationship. However, if Bogdan and Dana share the same beliefs and can exercise some restraint this can be a positive combination for a long-term relationship.
Dana's Jupiter Opposition Bogdan's Sun
Orb 1°44' Separating
The Sun and the favourable planet Jupiter are combining, suggesting that this relationship is blessed with good fortune and a happiness in the short term; however, a long-term relationship may be fraught with insecurities. Initially Bogdan and Dana feel a strong sense of togetherness, sharing many new and varied activities. Both Bogdan and Dana feel that the other person is contributing positively to their lives. They feel more alive within this union. Gradually the excitement wears off and they become aware that they have very different philosophies on life. Whereas once Bogdan felt that her life purpose was expanded by the forward moving energy of Dana, now he feels that Dana doesn't know when to stop. He becomes aware that Dana's values are very different and that this is hindering his ability to express his full potential. Dana was once excited by the strength of Bogdan's purpose in life. However, now Dana feels that her path is being blocked by Bogdan's stubborn personality. This combination brings benefits to the couple in the first throes of the relationship, but it is going to take work to maintain the relationship. The long-term success of this association depends on other connections between Bogdan and Dana.
Dana's Jupiter Opposition Bogdan's Mercury
Orb 5°47' Separating
This combination of the planets Mercury and Jupiter can indicate a relationship in which both Bogdan and Dana are inspired by the meeting of two minds. However, it is important that they show some restraint in their activities. When Bogdan and Dana get together they are both eager to discover new worlds. They enjoy broadening their minds through overseas travel or by learning about different cultures in books and study courses. Philosophy, metaphysics and religion are topics of conversation which stimulate and expand their minds. It is also possible that Bogdan and Dana pursue activities connected with philanthropic or philosophical ideologies. In moderation this can be beneficial to the relationship. However, there is a tendency towards grandiosity. Both Bogdan and Dana encourage each other to greater feats of learning or adventure without realising when it is time to call a halt. This can result in irresponsible behaviour. They also need to be wary of becoming too gullible in their efforts to follow a personal philosophical belief. It is important that both Bogdan and Dana learn to temper their activities.

Ancient astrologers consider the planet Jupiter to be the great benefic, hence shining good fortune on this union whether it be a friendship, work association or romantic liaison. This relationship brings joy into the lives of both Dana and Bogdan. The attraction is strong, although not necessarily a sexual rapport. Dana and Bogdan share common goals and the impetus to explore these goals together. Their paths have crossed and it is more fun to continue their journey together. This can include journeys into the philosophical realms or adventures into other lands. Dana and Bogdan share the same beliefs, possibly even common religious beliefs. They bring out the best in each other. Together they also bring out the best in other people. As a result they attract much good fortune when they join forces. They are examples of the adage "lucky in love".

Orb 3°20' Separating
This is a union of empathy and understanding, particularly in the areas of spiritual and religious beliefs. Both Dana and Bogdan understand and share each other's aspirations and dreams. At times their intuitive understanding of each other is so keen that they almost seem telepathically linked. It is possible that both Dana and Bogdan share a spiritual or religious conviction and belong to the same group or church. This may be a central force in their association. It is also possible that they take part in a philanthropic pursuit such as mission work in a foreign country or working for the same charitable organisation. Whatever the outlet for their beliefs, both Dana and Bogdan appreciate and enjoy each other's values, thus enabling them to better pursue a more altruistic path in life. Dana and Bogdan brighten each other's lives through their shared beliefs.
Dana's Saturn Trine Bogdan's Sun
Orb 7°10' Applying
Many astrologers believe that a connection between the serious planet Saturn and a personal planet such as the Sun is important, providing the cement for a long-lasting relationship. In other words a serious planet is needed for a serious, meaningful union such as marriage. It is certainly true that the combination of the Sun and Saturn is found in many, meaningful relationships. However, the harmful planet Saturn can also cause problems. The extent of the problems varies according to the astrological aspect. Certainly this combination indicates that Bogdan and Dana both view this as a serious association, whether it is a marriage, friendship or a working partnership. Both Bogdan and Dana are committed to their association. It is likely that they experienced a strong attraction in the initial stages of their relationship, and it is likely to be long lasting. When Bogdan and Dana first meet they each know they have discovered a potential serious relationship, one to which they can commit and build on over a lifetime. If they believe in reincarnation, then it is likely that they feel a karmic attraction, a moment of recognition when they first look into the other person's eyes. However, the very qualities, which they seriously considered as attractive in the initial stages of the relationship, can become the source of friction if they are not careful. In particular, Dana needs to be wary of becoming too critical and judgmental. Initially Dana found Bogdan's personality traits to be worthy of a committed union. She admired Bogdan's qualities as complementing her own. However, it is easy for Dana to forget this attraction. As the relationship develops she feels threatened by the force of Bogdan's personality and takes a superior attitude in defence. As a result Bogdan feels threatened, disliking the authoritarian side of Dana. If Bogdan is not careful his self-confidence is whittled away and the relationship becomes onerous.
