Horoscopes
What do the stars foretell for newly-weds William and Mary? Madame Fifi consults her astrological charts to predict what lies ahead for the young couple.
Mary - Libra William - Scorpio

Mary, as a Libran, will search for beauty, balance and natural order in all her surroundings. This is understandable as family quarrels may divide her loyalties from early on. Mary will certainly face rivalries from close family members. As a natural peacemaker, she will try to pour oil over troubled waters, using her under-estimated powers of diplomacy and tact to bring her family back together again.

Librans want to be liked by everyone; and Mary will certainly play true to that particular trait. She will try to please all those around her and will often succeed. Do not let the poise and elegance of this sign confuse you. Mary, born under the sign of justice and truth, will strongly, but quietly (unlike her husband) fight for the underdog with a ferocity that may frighten some.

If her husband travels, Mary will be more than able to take over the family responsibilities. A real 'power behind the throne', Mary may need to be careful that she does not outshine her husband in this respect as Scorpions do not like to be shown up.

William was born under the sign of Scorpio and is thus a rather complicated little creature. He is brave, intense and determined; he likes to get his own way and will seek power at all costs, even if it annoys family members. In-laws please take note.

William has great strength of character. He can show perseverance in the face of adversity; other times he will be both secretive and stubborn, refusing to let even close family members in on what he is thinking. Never cross a Scorpion because they will hold a grudge for an eternity.

Scorpions love taking risks so don't be surprised if William has close brushes with death. William's sense of adventure will also lead him to travel to distant lands, though the welcome from the natives may not be what he expects.

William will prefer animals to humans and is likely to discover that he can relax more easily with four-legged creatures than the biped variety. However, William should take care when around animals, as injuries may occur if he becomes careless and over-confident.

At first glance, this could be a stormy relationship, with William thinking that he is right all the time and Mary wanting to do what is right for all those around her. William may be rather hard-headed and slam doors around the house when he doesn't get his own way. Mary will have a calming, but strong, influence on her husband, and will try to avoid major family arguments through negotiation and compromise. If family members and other interested parties do not interfere this couple may indeed have a contented and uneventful life.
