I - Wherever You Go, There You Are!
All of the above adds up to who you are as an individual and not the other "magical" person... II
- Purpose of Relationship - Soul Growth
Yep… that’s right, friends and neighbors… committed relationships are, in part, for the purpose of bumping of heads, and for the building of “consciousness” and "soul"... Not too romantic, eh? Not too ooey gooey? Well… not always… It's
not much comfort in the short term, but regardless of how things (do or
don’t) work out in the end… our soul is going to be enlarged
from the experience of relationship with that other person.
Just so you don't get too bummed out, here's the (potential) good news:

- Love is Risky Business Love is risky business. Love is risky business. And no astrologer on the planet can provide you with a blank check guarantee of success. Think about it for a second... if I were somehow clever enough to be the one astrologer on the planet that could provide a 100% (or even a 70-90%) guarantee regarding the ultimate “success” of a relationship (and that magical person will never leave you) - then I'd be charging the price of a medium sized country for my readings and people would be lining up in droves to pay the high price. In astrology it was sometime during the European Renaissance that romantic love and love affairs of the heart came to be primarily associated with the astrological 5th house of gambling - associated with the excitement of the gamble, the risk, the pleasure, and the youthful, playful awakening of new and young love… Thus astrology - as a wisened teacher - judiciously (much in vain) attempts to instruct us that regardless of the many "safety nets" we construct in order to "even up" the odds... romantic love and attraction will always remain a gamble, an emotional risk, and a leap of faith that we must choose to take (or not) when entrusting our heart to another person. Weird
Science We now know that "falling in love" involves a "chemical communication" caused by pheromones that we share with the rest of the animal kingdom. Biology further instructs us that this "falling in love" thing - along with its chemical communications and changes in the brain - at best, lasts only 12 to 18 months. After that, you're on your own. Yep! Falling in love is definitely risky business. But, after everything is said and done... that's part of the joy, part of the torture, and part of the sheer intensity that makes the experience and risk of "falling in love" irresistible. IV
- Emotional Baggage – Damaged Goods There are birth chart “markers” or “clues” of potential major emotional issues and/or baggage that the other person (or, for that matter, you) is dealing with in this lifetime. However
there is no way based simply on looking at the birth chart to determine
or predict how successfully they (or you) have dealt with these issues
in their (your) life.
My condolences if you have hooked up with one of these severely emotionally damaged individuals. It happens – and, when it happens, it would seem that all the soul bond connections in the world may not be able to overcome the damage and who they have become as an individual. It’s painful when this happens. Trust me, I know… been there, done that… V
- Honest Astrology doesn't claim to have all the answers
As astrologer extraordinaire, Liz Greene has often been fond of pointing out, there appears to be an unknown “X factor” at play when it comes to matters of the heart.
