Question for astrologers.

[Spirahl]

Seems that a lot of marriages have broken up in the past couple of months. Cancelled weddings too. Enough that people are wondering what's in the stars regarding this.
Any insights?

[Mairwen]

I hadn't thought about it, but you're right. In fact we almost broke up ~ but that was due to outside forces.

Don't get married!!!My BOYFRIEND and I have been together for 14 years.What do I need a piece of paper for?To prove that I love him?I don't think so.Been there.Done that.My ex and I got married and it didn't even last a year!!Anyway,that is my opinion!

[Spirahl]

Me and hubby don't have paper, we were handfasted :) .
We have separated, though we are planning on working things out and reuniting in a year. A lot of our problems were external, and we decided just to take a break and sort each of our respective crap out. We were taking stuff out on each other just because there was so much baggage from our previous relationships. But a lot of relationships around me have unravelled for good, even with online friends and couples who have been together for ages and seemed very solid.
I hope things continue to improve for you Mairwen.

Relationships are always an individual matter.....depending on the people involved and their individual charts with transits and life changes occurring .. and individual choices....... the stars do NOT COMPEL......... they simply show what astrological (emotional psychological spiritual ) landscape within which we are functioning at the moment.....
Some people might be experiencing smooth sailing .. while others are climbing tall peaks of challenging heights......
Some relationships might be experiencing rough times to foster growth.. other may simply need to be on their way to new partners......
Right now......Mercury is once again retrograde
in Libra ;the sign of relationships ......and will remain so until the 24th of this month ......
so communications within relationships might be stressed.....for some people ........
Love and light

Thank you, Spirhal. We'd actually talked about sleeping in separate beds for a while ~ then decided we couldn't bear that. So. But things are going along so much better!!

(good thing, since we only have one bed! LMAO! ;))

Good luck and blessings to you, too!!:cool:

:) Separate beds is not a good thing, in my experience. We did that for a bit and totally lost touch with what each other was feeling and thinking. It made it harder to open communication again. Glad you decided not to.
Swan, things started happening for us and other couples in July and August. What was happening then? Yes, I know the planets set the mood, and we play our own parts within that. I just wondered what that particular mood was. Usually hubby and I have a connection where we can feel each others feelings even at a distance, but we did become so disconnected at that time. We are becoming connected again now, even though we have been living apart for 2 months.

Actually, one of the reasons we'd decided to sleep apart was because we had disconnected so deeply. We spent many long hours, up late nights, discussing stuff, though. Now we're better than ever! :D

Although I do not know for sure if any Astrological influences are responsible for these matrimonial and social diffcult times, as this is an area that I have not spent time researching. Yet it is of interest, at least to this Astrologer, that since the Sun's Sidereal Ingress into the constellation Virgo (occured on Sept. 17th at 14:25:29 UT) that the current Lunar placement for that date and time is 2* 20' 13" Virgo. This placement allows a Novienic equivalent of 21* 01' 57" Taurus, which is adjacent to Saturn (20*07' Taurus), the planet of failures, insensivity, setbacks, and losses, especially in the affairs of the heart. It could be that, although this is a mundane astrological influence, that it also affects everyone in the world because of it being an earth-pervasive factor. The Sun is now making a major aspect to the Novienic equivalent being at 20 deg. Virgo , that we also have the U S military responses to the Afghanistan situation. What is happening now on the mundane astrological front is new ground for this writer and I do not know for sure if the factors previously mentioned present any stress on such personal affairs, as they obviously do on the current international affairs. It was previously unknown that the Novienic equivaents are also effective in Mundane astrology, as they have been known( for the past 30 years) to be affective in nativities.

Thankyou Methanespirit. That makes some sense to me, and I hope that the cosmos brings us all a mood of healing soon. Even more than that, our willingness to do the necessary work to succeed.
In the case of hubby and I, I think it will work out between us. We still love each other and want to make it work. We are both seeing areas in which we were unfair and are working out our own issues.
I had online charts made by some site or another, and it said that our Mars aspects conflict. I assume this has something to do with how we both control anger? (Or how we don't control anger
;) )?
Separate beds is a real bad idea if you have tempers, since it is too easy to blow and say spiteful things if you know you don't have to lay beside them later that night.
Bad, bad, us. A hard lesson.

Let me put in my 2-cents worth in this subject. A divorce or a separation from one that means much to you does not solve anything, but only adds loads of guilt and regret to an already, predomintantly, self-centered situation.
