"Feeling the passion" and "feeling passionate" carry different sets of emotional and cultural meanings. When referring to passion as a building block in relationships, we care more about the strength of the long-term "feeling passionate" than for the short-lived "feeling the passion".

Short-term passion is triggered by the primal need to engage in sexual conduct for the vintage duty of race preservation. Its catalyst is the release of several hormones that combined gives us a sometimes uncontrollable sense of excitement and drive to perform the intercourse.

Being passionate about someone describes deeper emotional picture of physical attraction and comfort that is gained by touching each other, holding hands, going through prolonged foreplay, or by simply being in the vicinity of the other person. This feeling doesn't wash away after several acts or months of being together. It is ageless; it varies and matures as we mature, and may even grow stronger with time.

However, it is hard to gauge which type of passion has kicked the score up in our astrological tests. Thus, we must perform our own tests and consult with our intuition in order to determine if what we sense toward each other is the wholesome attraction or just a dose of short-lived hormonal cocktail.

Q. What types of relationships require passion?
A. Passion is an important ingredient in successful marriage. You would also feel let down when no passion is sensed when meeting a new person on a date.

Q. How does Top Synergy monitor the existence of passion in a relationship?
A. The astrological tests are designed to forecast how special, if at all, will person A be considered by person B. As with the three other building blocks of relationships, the intensity of this attraction is indexed from "Average or Below" to "Divine Passion" (5).

Q. Is it possible that I feel passionate toward my mate while she does not act this way at all?
A. While mutual and balanced passion is a definite plus, the sentiment of passion is not necessarily a two-way street. This is why we let you examine the presence and intensity of passion as it felt on either side.

Can't free will play a role in relationship also? I have had a very good friendship with someone for more than 20 years and for several years it was a very passionate romance. Yet our scores are 0 for each other across the board, yet he is one of the most important people in my life. Similar to the current romantic relationship I have been in for 6 months. We scored 0 on love and friendship, 70 on sex and 60 on partnershp. I'm a 2 to him in intimacy and he's a 3 to me on passion, and we rated a 1 on synergy, yet I feel a great deal of passion and love for him and he has been very committed to opening up intimately. We are both in our 40s. Could it be a decision, a choice, to be committed and loving and passionate and partners can overcome the numbers?

Welcome aboard, Debqt.

As we say all along - we believe that our role on earth is to exercise our freedom of choice and free will.

The only thing that the astrological "numbers" show is where there is a good chance that natural energies will help you to sail through your desired course, and where you might be going opposite the currents with no wind to blow in your sails.

Practically speaking, we all go through periods of low and despair. It's helpful to have natural resources that carry us through such rough times, or to be aware of possible challenges and conflicts and learn to deal with them constructively. Knowledge is power but not the only power that we can use to master our life.

First let me say that I'm really enjoying this website! It seems to accurately describe my relationship with my husband.

However, I'm curious why my passion towards my husband is scored #4, his passion towards me is scored "average or below" and our mutual passion is scored a #2 - when compared to the data on the reports below, it appears that in our personal relationship, the "ring" symbol is under the "mutually" column in both love and romance, and sexually, it appears there are two rings - one under "by you" and the other "by your match"...

Which actually raises another question - if both me and my partner have strong sexual passion towards one-another, why is there no "ring" symbol in the "mutually" column?

Thanks!
Lisa

I believe that passion is one of the most intense feelings we can have.Even if a relationship is on the rocks the passion can still be there.I have been in a relationship where every aspect of it was falling apart,but the passion was just as strong as ever!!!

If the passion RQ is 0, does this mean that the relationship has a negative chance of it progressing to marriage?
