   YES!!!

   And its, interestingly forced me to get over all my commitment issues!

   Yes. Not partnered just for the sake of having a warm body nearby or because it would make the bills less burdensome, but partnered with the RIGHT partner. Nothing but the best will do–and I willingly do serious, heart-wrenching lonely time in Singledom if no quality prospects are in view.

   Spoken like a true Cap, that is.

   I don’t really feel a need to be partnered, but over the past year, more and more, I’ve been paying attention to the good parts of being in a relationship, instead of looking at all of the reasons that I’m happy to be single.

   I do want to deal with any problems that I’m having in terms of relationships - the other day I surprised myself with something that I blurted out to another person, in regards to what now exists of our relationship. In the past, I would most likely have found a way to just let it go, but this time I needed to hear something directly from them.

   I don’t know if it’s MORE important (I have enough stuff in the 7th house/Taurus as is, so that’s how I am 24/7 like it or not), but it bugs me more the older I get. Or it could be this year, who knows.

   I have noticed a difference. Although I’ve been partnered for quite some time (over 6 years) I am a bit of a cowboy in my own relationship–I’m extremely independent and struggle to be really, truly present when I’m in it. I hope the Earth makes it easier.
   I have ongoing fears of my relationship ending, but that could be my Pluto transits–and my inherent knowledge that life is but a temporary visit.

   Hey Elsa

   Did you know that in the 12th century while the plague was raging, it was a mad dash to get married in every sector? Couples were marrying in droves. It was remarkable. It was one way of facing Saint Peter, I imagine it was all for the ability to say, “Yaaa baby, I hooked up, and did not die alone.”

   History proves there are cycles in our motivations.

   Hmmm… sounds like astrology to me.

   cf - I didn’t know that but I am not surprised. I am getting my nerve up to say what I really think!

   Of course I have to wait on my mind to think the things courtesy slow-ass Saturn in Virgo!

   Here’s what a noticed about the Earth shift: BOREDOM!!!!

   I’m so bored!
   haha
   Reality is boring for fiery-me and also painful at times. And perhaps you’re right, in this real world, which isn’t exactly a fun rollercoaster, it’s nicer to have someone by our side.

9. Ana says on 5/3/08 at 3:23 pm:
   

   hmmm. Pluto in Capricorn is hanging out in my 7th now, and I’ve noticed the opposite. I’m starting to see all the disadvantages and fears that relationships can create. No security here for me. Not saying that being single is better, but it certainly seems safer. Everytime I’ve partnered this year, some skeleton gets dragged out for either me or them. I used to be tolerant of this stuff, but now I suspect everything. These days, love seems more like an invitation for pain - I guess I’d rather be alone.

   Dammit, I’m always out of step with everyone else!

    Doublecappy — totally agree.

    cf– that is hilarious and I believe it. I’ve studied that period of art history in some depth and there were also a great many famous buildings erected during that period of time (the so-called “dark ages” of art). Building = earth signs!

    i’m feeling like it’s time to figure out who you want to share your foxhole with.

    unsettling, actually.

12. Gem says on 5/3/08 at 6:50 pm:
    

    Definitely. Saturn is approaching my descendant axis, and my progressed sun, merc and mars are in or approaching 7H. All in a saturnine way.

13. Kingsley says on 5/3/08 at 7:37 pm:
    

    Interest rate rises.

14. Becca says on 5/3/08 at 10:58 pm:
    

    Haven’t noticed this in my own life at all. I’m actually feeling more sanguine about being single than I had for the past few years. Saturn is transiting my 7th house, Jupiter is conjunct my natal Mars in the 12th, and Pluto is just leaving my 11th house.

    It’s not the world that is the scary thing, but relationships and all that they are unearthing. So yes, singletons are suddenly being faced with actually really liking new people in their lives, but severely rattled by all the issues these recently discovered relationships are bringing up. Also, am noticing that lots of family stuff that has been hidden for ages is surfacing - like the Autrian man with 3 kids with his daughter in the basement and his normal family upstairs. Personally my partner with 4 planets in the later degrees of Virgo is wondering why everyone is making things so complicated. Look forward to him taking his head out the sand.

16. Amethyst says on 5/4/08 at 10:12 am:
    

    Yeah, but I thought that I was noticing it because of my age. I’ve been partnered with the right person since 1999, so for me I was set. But I’ve noticed a lot more people wanting to settle down lately. Like I said, I figure it’s because as I get older the people around me are getting older too. I also moved around that time and so it’s hard to gauge because I moved about 2000 miles to a place where the culture is different.

    I was wrestling with this just last night — not so much partnership, but a serious need for family / security. Hard to deal with when you need and don’t have! Good topic…

18. Lupa says on 5/5/08 at 4:46 am:
    

    For me I feel more settled and less restless in my partnership which is a relief. I just have a sense of knowing that it’s all going to work out fine when little things come up.

19. seekingzen says on 5/5/08 at 6:14 am:
    

    I’m not sure… I’ve always felt some urge to be partnered. I’ll have brief periods of enjoying the single life, but the longest I’ve been without a relationship is 8 months or so.

    On the other hand, I feel more comfortable and secure in my current relationship than I ever have before. I’m far more peaceful with my ‘taken’ status than in the past.

20. liz says on 5/5/08 at 7:15 am:
    

    Absolutely. I like the fact that i’m finally learning how to really relate to someone. To accept their own insecurities, and my own, and find a middle ground. I’d rather something real right now.
