Will the Relationship Last Through the Saturn Return?
Notes from the Transit Authority
In my last post about my Saturn Return, debdeb asked:
if you’re seeing someone who’s going through their SR, especially now as Saturn’s going retrograde, what can you expect? What should you to support him/her? Can you expect him/her to come out of the SR more confident [about your bond], or more clearsighted and perhaps more ready to go it alone?
Well, it all depends.

Progressed Moon in Libra – Party Planning and Partnering.
Planets in Placements
I was 25. My progressed moon was in Libra. I planned the biggest blowout party of my whole party planning life. Chinese New Year at the infamous House on Fry Street. I also fell in love.
About 6 months earlier, TK and I parted ways. He stayed in the apartment and I moved out to go back to school. I answered an ad on Craigslist. “Big house looking for a roommate who doesn’t suck.” Everyone there was younger than me, but they only wanted $200 for a huge upstairs room. I took it.

Intro To The Composite Chart by Satori
“Most people would have found it grotesque, but when you’re in love nothing is so abstract or horrible that it can’t be thought of as cute.”
—David Sedaris, When You Are Engulfed in Flames
I find nothing so compelling as love. It is the subject in which I am most able to lose myself in a drug-like (or tv-like) state of bliss. While synastry is the best tool for assessing how individuals interact, there is something fascinating about the idea of a chart on how they merge. The composite chart is the chart of the relationship itself. It is a chart made from the melding of the two individuals’ birth charts, made by plotting the midpoints of each placement. Instead of the comparison of two individuals we are looking at the chart of a third entity, the relationship itself, which only exists in theory.

Composite Charts, Synastry and Personal Taste by Nota
Real Conversation
This is a continuation of my conversation with my friend with the 12th house Venus.
“Do you see it?”
“Uh-huh.”
“Isn’t that cool?”
“I guess. I’m not really into composites.”
She is having me look at yet another composite chart between her and some “dude” she met at a bar. Â the “it” she wants me to see is a grand air trine.

Is Sainthood worth it? By The Virgo Avenger
Just a male Virgo’s point of view; # Twenty-Seven
I have a friend named John, he is not a great friend, just a person I know and talk to. I really have no friends male or female, I think my wife is enough for me. But John I will talk to, if for no other reason then to be able to say, “Wow your life is F*cked-up.”
John has a girlfriend named, “Medusa,” Ok! not her real name, but good for now.
John and Medusa have been together for over 15 years, he says they had love for the first year or so, after that he says it just became convenient to have her around, and for the last ten years it has been hell.

Astrology-Based Advice: Long Distance Love With A Married Man – Venus in Capricorn
Dear Elsa,
I have been dating this man long-distance for 8 months now. He is married, though he’s been separated for two years and is filing for a divorce.
I have a trust issue with him, because he lied about many things as we got to know each other through the ‘net. Since then, everything he has been telling me was correct. He said he is going to have his divorce final next March. So I am giving him all the benefit of doubts until April, and see what he is going to do.
The problem: he is living abroad, and usually calls me daily. Last Wednesday, he said he was going for a two day business trip and that he would call me. I haven’t heard from him since then, and his mobile has been out of reach.
I am trying to analyze… did he disappear? Was he stuck in meetings with no phones? Maybe his wife and kid joined him and now he is breaking things off with me? I’m wondering how I should proceed from here.
Thanks,
Unsure
Dear Unsure,
In my experience, liars lie. Since your man is a known liar, there is no telling what he is up to even if he expressly tells you.
With Venus part of a stellium in Capricorn, your chart suggests the capacity for love relationship that is stable, supportive and real. That’s the potential but the way you’re playing it is just about as opposite that as you can get. Rather than working to ground a relationship in real life and deriving a sense of self esteem through being a stellar partner, you’re expressing this energy in a wholly negative way, settling for the tiniest of crumbs as if this is all you deserve.

Getting “Closure” Is Impossible? An Outsider Perspective
Astrology in real life
“I don’t know what closure is,” my husband said. “Who gets closure? You almost never get closure. If you do get closure then fine but I’d not looking for it. I’m going to try to get some closure. The concept makes no sense. I don’t know who comes up with this stuff…”.
As a Venus Neptune type, I know exactly what he means. Nothing ever ends. There is no way to close anything because you never know when a person is going to pop up in real life, your thoughts, your dreams, in conversation, in a poem, in a song…
I’d never heard this stated so plainly and thought it was a boon so I’m sharing the bounty. It seems that looking for “closure” is aka wasting your time so I am done with that as of today.

Catch up here – Psychological Games…
On being game-y, my friend said she got a lot of power from doing this. She had control. Judging by the comments it seems we may not all be talking about the same thing so let me clarify.
My friend would engage a man. She would be very attentive to him, leading him to believe she was really interested in knowing him and as soon as she had him hooked she would detach.

So when I met HQ, I was incredibly miserable although no one had any idea of this. It’s a quality about me. It’s called Jupiter… I mean, “Dimples rising”. When you grin all the time and have dimples no one imagines there is a problem, never mind a serious one but HQ eventually learned that this was the case.
