Dear Nicole,
Thanks for reading my books.
You read your boyfriend's chart, the SAME WAY you would read any chart. No need to change the elements based on Northern or Southern Hemisphere.
With so much earth in your chart, you may be a little stubborn. Perhaps if you learn to relax a little, you'd be happier and less stress :-)
Warm Regards,
JY
ps: I will be in Germany this October 13, 2012 to conduct a seminar. Hope to see you then. I will be in Frankfurt.
