Advice Of The Day: Influence Of Friends And Family On Your Choice Of Partner

November 26th, 2011 @ 8:57 am by Elsa

Astrology in real life.

From a consultation:

“You are being undermined here. Sorry, but I have seen this pattern with you in the past. Are you happy? If so, screw those people. Don’t let people outside yourself dictate who you are and what you like and don’t like. Saturn in Libra – define your own tastes! Seriously,  XXXXX. Don’t let other people pick your man for you!”

Do you choose your partner(s) or do you have a subcontractor do  this for you?

No, I gravitate towards my own choices with Pluto square Venus. Friends have tried to recommend men, but in the end I feel you have to have some chemistry or something else in common.

Oh God – I did do this the last disastrous time. It was my second marriage. This guy was on me like glue, doing all kinds of things for me. I knew he was just trying to impress me, so I wasn’t impressed. I even was planning on dumping him because I knew he wasn’t for me.

My grandmother was telling me I should marry him already, and I thought that maybe she saw something I was missing.

Then he knocked me up – on purpose (his admission). So, I married him.

Now, my mother is trying to “plant seeds” of me being interested in some mechanic that’s in our neighborhood. She is the last person I’d ever take relationship advice from. I deflect her comments every time, so she can eat her own “seeds.”

Uh? Sometimes I wished I listened to others. No. I stubbornly make my own mistakes. I mean, choices. ;)

Sometimes, I wish someone had said something. Some people DID say something and I did not listen. Wish I had listened to their warnings. I made my mistakes and have learned from them, and am currently hoping to be able to get out of them!

I tell ya, I am hoping to remain single for a while after I get out of “this situation”. I need some ME time.

If I had let others choose my partner, I’d be alone right now instead of happily married. :)
I am sure that some need help with this but some of us (with Libra) have to learn to stand up for ourselves…and for our tastes.

I kept my family AWAY from whoever I was dating as much as humanly possible.

I’m a Libra rising and I use to… ‘They like you’ and all the persuasions under the sun. BIG MISTAKE! Now I don’t tell anyone anything, people know about the person when it becomes ‘offical’. I make my own lessons in that not others. If I listened to my so-called friends words of ‘they love you’ I would still be with an abusive ex. Nah mate… On to the next.

I choose, but tend to undermine myself anyway due various factors. But it’s way too hard to be with someone who allows family and friends to dictate our relationship. It was like dating a group of people and having to deal with all of them. Exhausting.

“Are you happy? If so, screw those people. Don’t let people outside yourself dictate who you are and what you like and don’t like.”

Amen..

I chose for myself, for once, and am wonderfully happy

My Venus is in Scorpio…I choose my romantic partners. And I defend my partners fiercely. If my mate has made it to the point where they are being introduced to my family, they have already been vetted thoroughly by me. I don’t tolerate interference or meddling on any level. So I don’t get much interference from my family or friends around this subject matter because i think they know this about me. The only time someone will say something is if I asked their advice or opinion which I RARELY do if ever.

lol….absolutely @ Solaire. High five back at you : )
I can definitely see that with Mars in Cancer. My significant other has that placement with Venus in Cancer conjunct as well. Mars in Cancer definitely does the choosing and is very protective. I can dig it : )
