PS · Pair reading
PS-06: The partner's Mars check, shared with matching
This result also checks each person's own 7th house ruler against the other person's Mars, the same check the marriage match result (KM-16) uses. Both endpoints use the same result, so they always agree.
Endpoints that apply this rule
Each call returns the rule it used, so you can match a result to PS-06.
