How strange. Maybe from another life, because unless you've spent any time around Philadelphia, Richmond, Morgantown (West Virginia), or NYC, I doubt we've met in this lifetime.

future_uncertain, from my studies, the Moon is often as equally emphasized as Saturn for karmic and past life connections. Our natal Libra Moons form an exact conjunction, at about half a degree. And both of these conjunct my Saturn. Maybe this has something to do with it.

I have this same Moon/Moon conjunction (at about 2 degrees) with a Pisces, we have some crazy energies between us and I've always felt she and I shared a past life and some serious karma. If MysticMelody says she can "feel" Scorpio men from across the room, then Pisces women can likewise invade people's dreams. I don't often have vivid dreams, but I've had way more amazing dreams about this Pisces girl than about any other person. Unfortunately, her Aqua Mercury tightly squares my Scorpio Sun and forms an exact square to my Scorpio Venus. For as incredible as it feels to KNOW we connect so well subconsciously, on a conscious level it seems she misunderstands, even warps, everything I say, and ultimately leaves me in a fog... We operate with such incredible intuition together, that we have become the epitome of "the words get in the way".

I had been hoping that with time the Sag girl would find someone else, then she might lose interest in coming to see me. I believe that has happened, because as soon as she told me she started dating an ex-boyfriend a few weeks ago, our long daily texts have stopped.

Last week she said that I'm the only person she is "100% truthful" with. I always knew we had a great bond, but seeing her past with guys, I feared I would lose that unique attribute of our friendship if we became a couple. I'd rather be held in highest regard as a friend than become another guy she throws away.

Much of me really wanted her, but I know we wouldn't work out, so for now my wish for someone to steal her attention seems to have worked.

I'm just about certain that any romantic potential with the Sagittarius girl is gone.

I have a strange tendency to attract women first as friends who proudly display their devious ways, then they somehow believe I'll want them as girlfriends... Much like the Sag above, I had this happen long ago with a Virgo. She was terrible to the guys she dated, but one of my best friends, when she threw herself at me, she was completely shocked and hurt that I didn't want her.

So I am very single right now, I feel I don't even have any prospects.

Anyway...

I'm so freaking single right now, it's really nice to hear some positive words.

Maybe it's my Leo Asc or Scorpio-everything or both, but with all of those oppositions and squares, I'm frequently very sexually attracted to Aquarius (and Taurus) women.

And yes, I know the Taurus weight reputation. I find nothing attractive about obesity, but I've gone for some rather big girls before, and once love is sparked it is tough for me to get wrapped up in superficialities like weight.

I have plenty of interests aside from music. Many people may find them boring, but they keep me busy and happy.

I find situations in my life are often reflective of my loaded 4th house. My last girlfriend shared a place with me, and she said she loved the way I "play 'house'." I've realized I get a lot of pleasure from domesticity...

I love to cook. Experimenting in the kitchen is a daily highlight. Tonight I made some pseudo-teriyaki pork with fried rice. I was really pleased with the pork, but I felt the fried rice could've been better.

I love plants. Every year I have a big vegetable garden in my yard. I wish I had more space. Nothing calms my nerves better than being out in the sun, getting my hands in the earth and smelling the dirt, or basil, or sage, or taking a bite out of a tomato. I'd like to have a greenhouse one day and get into plant hybridization and breeding. I would have plants everywhere in my house if I had enough light filtering through my city home.

I love nature. I'm fortunate to have a seldom-exploited creek and woods near my house right here in philadelphia. My main source of exercise is biking through it's trails. I can see myself leaving the city and settling for a quiet place among a forest, away from people, preferably with a like-minded woman. Maybe near a lake where I can kayak, canoe, and fish. Fishing is so relaxing and a great hobby for me, my father got me big into it, but he died when I was 16, and I just haven't had as many opportunities to go fishing as often as when I was younger. I've always thought it would be cool to live a part of my life in a houseboat.

I love history. I love documentaries. I hate mindless television, but I've watched all 720 minutes of Ken Burns's "Civil War" three times... I'm fascinated with past events, past lives, the steps taken by the people who have come before us. It moves me deeply and it makes me more forgiving of my parents, and though I doubt I'll have kids, history makes me hopeful for their ability to surpass me. I'm so grateful to have connected with my mom's mother before she died. Anything antique or with a story spikes my imagination. I'm always the one listening to old folks talk about their youth while everyone else is yawning or finding distractions.

With a love of history, I naturally love ghost stories (past-coming-alive-style paranormal activity). It freaks me out in a childlike way, but my fascination for it is greater. I love any suggestion of there being something greater than our temporal existence, which is much of my inspiration for astrological study.

What was the problem with the rice?

Re fried rice, I had a tip from Ken Hom's Chinese cookery programme. Use rice that is pre-cooked and which you've allowed to dry out so that it's almost clumpy. I find the best way is to cook the rice, drain it through a colander and then put the colander on top of a radiator and keep forking it through gently until all the heat is out of it.

Heat your wok or frying pan so it's as hot as you dare. Fry the rice first, on its own. And add "wet" ingredients one by one and fry like hell until the rice is not wet anymore. Then add the next.

Got any good veggie recipes? I'm trying to cut down on meat. Successfully so far.

Anyway, my best regards to you!

VirgoMask: Any frolicking women around me are just good friends, with whom, if anything, we've already taken our chance at love. I generally stay good friends with ex-girlfriends. Lately I haven't extended myself or have had anyone pursuing me romantically. After nearly three years with a Sagittarius woman and two rebound flings, I've had a couple months now without any real connections, and although I don't want to be alone, I wonder if maybe I'm now meant to be single for a while.

Wheels: Yeah, I first fried the rice a bit, then added the veggies. The consistency of the rice was fine, it wasn't specifically the rice that was wrong, it was the further ingredients that bothered me. I added typical fried rice style veggies, but I just felt like it was missing something and I couldn't figure out what it needed. Anyway, I don't have any special veggie recipes, I usually just improvise with whatever I have in the refrigerator.

I'd love to know how women can so casually touch with no intention of anything more. As far as I'm concerned, touching is nothing less than flirting: it is solely intended to stimulate. It's not casual exchange, it's an advancement.

I met a woman last night at a bar, we talked for a while, and she must have touched me 7 or 8 times... my hands, arms, chest... and not quickly, it lingered and seemed rather sensual to me. She looked like a Scorpio.

I had to cut our night short to meet friends for a concert, and I asked her if maybe I could give her a call sometime. She said "eh... you look so young", so I asked her how old she thought I was. She wouldn't answer, so I handed her my driver's license to show without a doubt that I am 26. She said "Well, I'm 32", to which I replied, "Has anything I've said suggested immaturity? Many older men act like children, so couldn't you ever suppose the reverse to be true?" She ended with "In my experience, no, sorry." So I wished her a good night and went to enjoy the show.

32 versus 26... 6 years? She rejected me for 6 lousy years? Lies, I say. Lies. These pathetic excuses tend to reassure me that women never tell the truth about what they're thinking...

...which brings me back to the bottom line for writing this...

I have found women at bars to be pretty touchy-feely. I don't understand how women can be that way and have no intention of pursuing things though. No matter how inebriated one would get at the watering hole, I think there should be some code of conduct and awareness (that's just me though) and a little self-control. I don't mean to sound preachy. But I do feel for you

I wouldn't take that as a sign for you to be single though. If anything, I'd take it as a sign that you've outgrown bullsh!t and are ready for a real connection and relationship, as casual 'flirting' isn't really satisfying to you, and you're ready for something real.

Of course, this tends to complicate things because then it becomes a frustratingly perpetual process of weeding

Your chart is VERY similar to my own (I was shocked as I've not come across anyone with everything so damn CLOSE!), anyway, I eventually found love with an Aries. Can you imagine?! Aries and Scorpio... yeh, things can get pretty mad sometimes, but his 'Fire' is just what I need. There is a frission but also a depth of understanding and feeling. I dunno, but it might be something to look out for.

thanks for the reponse on 'my' thread! having thought things over a bit I looked a bit deeper into my OH's chart and he has a Taurus moon. Perhaps that's where things work? I've dated (long term) one Taurus, one Sag, married (and divorced) an Aqua and finally settled with an Aries. I have to admit that I LOVED the Aqua 'weirdness' of my ex and sometimes we were just totally in sync - our break-up had more to do with life and circumstance than personality. I also think, because I've got quite a lot of Libra, that the Taurus love of beauty and luxury is deeply attractive. I'm almost certain my OH has some Scorp somewhere because physically (without wanting to be crass), things are pretty hot and intense.
However, we can also have some pretty heated arguments and both being stubborn and quite firey in temprament it does get explosive!

Just to add - I think space, as in having time and space to yourself (esp. when in a relationship) is so important. Having someone else who understands this is essential.
