With Venus in Scorpio (taboo) and Mars in Capricorn (limits) I wonder what people consider to be “taboo” in 2011. For example, if you break up with a man (or a woman), is that man fair game for your friends? Do you look for your next lover among his friends or is that off limits.?
You get the idea? What is taboo in your world, circa 2011?

An ex dating a relative of mine, big taboo.
Also, I once had a friend ask me if she could date my ex, for some reason I found this strange. Now with the shortage of men in Los Angeles and at my age, I can understand it. Still it’s weird, there are still way too many people out there.
maybe if we broke for like over 15 years ago… and i still cant promise anything… venus Mars on taurus.
Let’s hope it doesn’t dip that low!! I am not the one to ask though, my husband wouldn’t be fair game with anyone… friend/relative/monkey whatever!
The big news is Nashville is that Shania Twain is engaged to the ex-husband of the woman who had an affair with Shania’s spouse and broke up Twain’s marriage.
I feel the same way as everyone else. It has always been an emotional taboo.
Women who had children in their early 20s, then splitting with the fathers, then later on–hitting the dating scene, and only meeting men their age (30s/40s) D-E-S-P-E-R-A-T-E to have children.
As in…more children…and the women are saying, ‘I had my children when I was younger for a reason…”
With my mars capricorn and venus scorpio this is a recurring theme.
Lusting after someone who is not my partner.
Someone who is an authority figure.
Much older.
Be they man or woman.
Par for the course. Although restraint wins 99% of the time.
As far as taboos… Breaking up a couple is unacceptable. It’s impolite and that sort of drama soils things permanently. A little patience goes a long way 
That’s taboo for me, too. Conversely, I would not welcome overtures from an ex’s friend. That did happen once, an ex’s friend asking me out after the breakup, saying that the ex had given his blessing. I wrote back, “Well, of course the bastard wouldn’t mind. I will not be passed around like a joint in a junior high boys’ bathroom.” Not cool in 2005, not cool ever.
Oh, h reminded me of the guys out there who just want to play around and “be free” until they’re around 40 or so, and then they think we should be happy to have them grab onto us and/or settle for us.
Men who always go for the younger women, and never even consider women their own age. (Although if they’re that shallow, then they’re doing us a favour.) This only became a personal thing for me this year – a brand new insecurity that I’d love to do away with – even though it hasn’t actually happened to me, but I know they’re out there.
Love within any close knit group is incestuous and as such will hardly, if ever, be considered totally viable. That’ll probably be the last tabboo standing.
Then again, who am I to say anything? Not being in a relationship isn’t normal for me.
To orgies, nudist colonies, and sister-wives!
Oh, and in response to Elsa’s example: No, he wouldn’t be fair game for my friends or family members.
In my circle of friends and extended family, disrepecting the sanctity of marriage seems to be coming up again and again as a big no-no. A cousin of mine (single) has been amputated by our extended family for having an affair with her sister-in-law’s brother (married with three young ones). This despite the fact that many of us are on our second marriages. What was tolerated/ignored years ago is taboo today–at least in my family. Saturn in Libra, maybe?
“This despite the fact that many of us are on our second marriages.”
I didn’t finish the sentence. Should be:
This despite the fact that many of us are on our second marriages after being less than faithful/truthful with our first spouses.
Man, I hope so, Anna! I’m so tired of the free-wheeling “disposable spouse” mentality.
Taboo for me? Shirking. Back-biting. Disrespect. I’m about done with it.
This is too funny Elsa, when l woke up l was thinking of exact same thing Taboo, you know…
l thought it’s a good thing for a post!!…
Anyhow l don’t really have any …l learned that what l find taboo now could change in a couple of years or that l might get into a situation wich l thought of being taboo but hei there l am and then what? flexibility comes handy sometimes.
l try not to judge so easy anymore for everyone and every situation is different and l am ready to understand the mechanics that drives the person.
But ok betrayal in any way just does it for me.
“I will not be passed around like a joint in a junior high boys’ bathroom.”
Amen! I never understood this and never will. No amount of revenge is worth sleeping with an ex’s best friend or enemy. I had a an ex sleep with an enemy and it was just the lowest of the low.
