What would you do if you noticed a friend had pulled away? Would you question them? Try to pull them back in? Or would you let them be, maintaining the friendship within the new frame they’d established?

Where is your Venus and how is it aspected?

My husband and I were discussing women who are vicious and we each have a question for you:

I want to know what percentage of women do you think are vicious and he says…

“Tell them you are writing a story with a vicious woman in it and you want to know some character traits of this kind of women. Just a couple lines. How would you spot a woman who is vicious?”

Character traits and the astrology tooooo please.

“…Scorpios are definitely overrated, just as Virgos are underrated.”

I agree that Virgo is underrated as is Capricorn. Pisces is rarely valued outside of being a sex toy for Scorpio so I would call them underrated as well. I can’t see that any of the signs are overrated. You?

Is there are sign you feel is given more credit than they deserve? How about a sign that is undervalued?

One of the regulars writes:

“I’d like to read about everyone’s Saturn Return experiences. I have a slight case of anxiety about mine coming up here pretty soon but I am ready. There are changes within myself I need to make and I hope my return will push me into it. Has anyone come out of it with a positive experience, or did it take years after to realize the affects it had? I’m hoping to come out with more confidence and faith in myself.”

What happened at your Saturn Return (roughly age 27.5 -30 for the newbies)?

I was thinking about this which is what led me to pull up the video about breaking your psychological patters in relationships.  Have you ever seen anyone who does nothing but run into the same issue, every day, in every way?  Let’s say it’s a woman who does not trust men.  All she seems to do is run into men she can’t trust!

Or how about men who meet needy women over and over and over and over?  Or maybe it’s rejecting women they can’t seem to dodge.

Having a fairly strong Libra / 7th house signature in my chart I have always been uncomfortable with the crusade against co-dependence that began in the 80′s. How can Libra (codependent) be all wrong and Aries (independent) be all right?

Masaru Emoto (the water crystal guy) writes in his new book, The Shape of Love: Discovering Who We Are, Where We Came From, and Where We’re Going :

“… Dependence requires getting closer to someone, and this requires courage. I am positive that you can find someone you feel natural and comfortable with to build such a relationship. Once you become comfortable depending on someone else, you will be able to let others depend on you.”

I like that he has married the opposition between Aries in Libra here by asserting it takes courage (Aries) to relate to the other (Libra). Do you agree?

Is it more courageous to stand alone, or alongside another?

From 2007 – This weekend I drove 16 hours round trip to spend 10 hours with the soldier (we’re married now) during which time we had to sleep. I admit this is weird but it suits me and I was especially aware of this driving home.

I like to move. I like going places. I like to be alone too, for that matter and driving to meet him affords this. Guess what? You can’t bother me I’m in the car! I think I’m a knife. I think I am Snoopy on his doghouse having an adventure and I don’t have a complaint in the world.

I have a friend who is cautious because whenever he tries to shirk anything, he’s typically caught and the consequences are generally severe.

I, on the other hand, get away with almost everything.  When I am caught the consequences are what would be expected some of the time,  but frequently they are light and even more frequently they are waived all together.

I was talking to pal about her difficulty finding a partner.

“You haven’t had the greatest role model as far as being in a happy relationship with a man goes,” I said. “Look at your mother. Her priority is to have, and preferably to have more than other people. A man is irrelevant to her for the most part.”

“He is.”

“I know. She doesn’t even care if she likes the guy. Her focus is on having more all the time. She wants as much as possible and being happy is not even in the equation.”

Matthew The Astrologer asks:

Saturn on the ascendant makes for mice cheekbones. Jupiter on the ascendant makes for chubbiness. Has anyone noticed an observable, physical effect from Chiron on the ascendant?

Anyone?
