No Best Friend - Saturn Ruling the 7th House
Hi Elsa,
I’ve started to notice that I have problems keeping my “best friends”. In fact, it seems as though the second that I call someone as my “best friend”, distance grows between us and we just grow apart. I usually keep my best friend for 2-3 years, before we grow apart and continue our lives on separate paths.
Most recently, this happened with my best friend was also the maid of honor at my wedding. I’ve been married 2 months now, and I’ve not seen or heard from her since the wedding, despite several calls and messages.
Now I’m afraid to ever designate someone as my “best” friend, for fear that I’ll lose them! Any advice?
Wondering,
A Pisces with no Best Friend
Dear Pisces,
This sucks… but it’s an interesting problem and it does show up in your chart! As far as friends go (specifically with women), you are going to be drawn towards those who are very free and perhaps even eccentric. And by their nature, people like this aren’t all that easy to nail down!
Now the reason you’re attracted to women like this is because you are a woman like this! And everything would be fine, if Saturn wasn’t ruling your seventh house (relationships). Saturn wants to define things. It wants commitment!
And you can see what’s happening here. You are attracted to commitment-phobics!!! And why is that? It’s because you’re a commitment-phobic yourself… who also happens to wants a commitment!
But don’t fret. There are lots of people in the same boat and with a bit of awareness, you can live like this just fine. See, I like these exotic birds too. I like interesting people, who are not necessarily “stable”. At the very least, they are unpredictable at times. But I manage to have long-term friendships with them over decades, because I relax my standards.
For example, I may talk on the phone with someone nearly daily for a year. It’s a habit! Dependency grows. And then things shift. And this is inevitable, because no one’s life is static. And all the sudden I only talk to that person once a week. And so what? The universe will always fill a void. I will find someone else to talk to and the person drifting away will very likely come back, if the connection was authentic in the first place.
I’ve seen this happen over and over in my life. Relationships ebb and flow. People need space! Especially the type of people you like. You need space as well.
See, you get talking to your best friend for 2 hours a day and it goes just like that for how long? Ten years? Twenty years? Think about it. You get up everyday and have to have a two-hour conversation. You’d be bored!! It’s a ball and chain! People need change and stimulation and input from a variety of people and I promise you this. If you give people who need freedom, the freedom they need… and you will find yourself keeping your friends. For life.
