Awhile back I posted this blog You’re Divorced And Getting Remarried… What About Your Old Wedding Ring? to ask people what they did with there old wedding ring. 33 people responded, many to say they threw their rings away (typically into a body of water) and I have to say I didn’t believe you.

The possibility of the soldier and I having a battle on our wedding day came up on the comments in the blog Auspicious Day For A Wedding

“I don’t want to fight on our wedding day,” I said.

“I think it’s in your DNA,” he answered simply.

I’d have denied it but hey…

One of the regular readers here is getting (got) married tonight - Congrats Susie! We got in a discussion about the wedding chart on Astrology Today - Hall Of Mirrors and then the soldier informs me he believes we can/ should marry November or December 2009.

He has his reasons. He’s done his calculations and so forth and this is what he’s come up with. He briefly explained his reasoning. He’d have explained it exhaustively but he knows I could care less. “So what do you think?” he asked. “November or December 2009.”

“I don’t know. I just can’t believe you want to get married in freezing December. It’s not romantic, it’s a cold day.”

He blushed. “Well, P, I don’t know. I’m just saying I think that’s the soonest we can do it,” he waved his hand still blushing. “Look on your heavens and see if that’s a good time,” he said before beatin’ feet out of the room.

If any of you electional astrology types happen to stumble on a good day to get married, post Nov 2009… lemme know - Thanks.

For all the divorcees out there, I have a couple of questions:

What did you do with your wedding ring when you divorced? If you initially kept your ring, do you still have it? Does it have feelings attached? Do you future plans for it?

If you are remarried, does your current spouse know you have the previous ring and just in general, do you think any of this is significant?

In other words, do these inanimate objects that are symbols have energy? If they do, how should it be handled?

For the record, I am asking this because my Pisces sister had a ritual around ridding herself of old wedding rings. I have no such ritual but am wondering if I should.

Anyone?

Dear Elsa,

I’m trying to plan an informal wedding for this year and the two months we’re looking at are June and October. I’ve looked at the calendar and it looks like Mercury will be all wonky all through both of those months. My question is simply, is it insanity to try to plan for a wedding during a Merc retro period? Are we begging for the cake to go missing, the minister to be hijacked, and all the guests to get lost? Should we consider a different month or go ahead as planned and keep a sense of humor about whatever happens?

Dear Engaged, this is absolutely not my area of expertise so you should take what I say with a grain of salt. I am posting this as an open question so others might chime in… but since you asked me, I would never ever get married with Mercury retrograde. ::smiles::

That said, it sounds as if you are drawn to and even may relish the upside-down-ness of it all, so whose is to say?

Further you are talking to someone who got married on April Fool’s Day and yes… that marriage was a joke so it seems to me it is all in how you approach the idea of your marriage. If you are looking for something solemn - well Mercury wonky sounds all wrong to me. But not everyone wants something solemn.

Anyone else?
