Great Expectations
You and Duc may sometimes feel as though you have stumbled into the pages of a Barbara Cartland novel. An intensely romantic and perhaps overly idealised quality of feeling is likely to arise between you and Duc because your finely tuned emotional nature stirs your partner's most intensely exalted romantic fantasies. He has a tendency to envision you as the perfect love and, at least for a while, may feel that you have no human failings at all. This may be flattering to you, but may also leave you with a vague unease because you are somehow not being seen and accepted as your ordinary self. You are more realistic in your appreciation of your partner, but you can easily become addicted to his romantic and almost mystical feeling about you because you feel more loved, safe and emotionally secure basking in such adoration. Duc may need to learn not to carry impossible expectations of you, for sooner or later you will disillusion him merely by being human and flawed. And you may need to learn to do without your daily shot of idealised love, or you will find yourself beginning to perform a false and burdensome role in order to preserve the fantasy. The moments of nearly perfect fusion which you are likely to experience on the emotional level may be very special and beautiful; but neither of you can hope to have such an experience every day of the week, and if both of you are unwilling to climb down to solid ground with each other, you may both become a little too prone to justifying evasions or deceptions in the name of kindness. There is real magic in the attraction between you, but it is an unreliable magic, and there are times when you will need to forego it in favour of a more honest and realistic meeting.
