(this is amowls)Don't want to restart a heated thread (though since it's been like 5 days I think I've simmered down a little lol) but to answer Raymond's question about Chiron square Venus: In my Chiron book, the author had an interesting take on it saying that those with this aspect may have had many many past lives of the opposite sex and are having to cope with being the other in this one. Chiron is also highly aspected in my chart in general and makes aspects to my ASC, Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn, and Uranus. I should also say that since I have Libra Moon, I guess inequality just really grinds my gears in general. 23 also mentioned that we both have a lot of masculine energy in our charts so it's hard for us to really accept when society tries to "feminize" us.

23, now that LL is back up, I should mention that I am not divorced. I describe my situation in the first post on this thread. By mentioning divorced women, I meant to note that it is quite common for people who have been in very long-term, committed relationships for many years who suddenly become single again as adults to experience confusion about reconnecting.I am also very lucky because I had an exciting, positive, validating experience as a single teen--lots of smart, funny, sexy, unique, exciting, kind guys to choose between, all of them interested right back!

Thanks Lucia - got the message. Yes I could imagine your situation would be very disorientating after a stable and long relationship! I guess as teens, we are still boys and girls and somewhere things change. I really don't know what to say. I just wish you the best of luck in finding a happy place in your life.IP: Logged |

Yes, I still kind of have issues with feminisation. I've gotten better at it. It's especially hard considering that my Moon is in Libra, my Venus is in Sag and unaspected! So I've never really relied on my fem planets but have recently been getting in touch with my Moon. IP: Logged |

Barbara Hand's Chiron book is a bit esoteric for me. I also see that she's a New Age teacher too. I like Melanie Reinhart's Chiron book. It's more psychological,practical,and down to earth. Raymond

To Lara:I am afraid historians would have to disagree with you on Cleopatra. She wasn't just batting her eyes when she "seduced" her men. She actively went after them. To seduce Cesar: She smuggled herself into his presence in a rolled up carpet which was unrolled dramatically. Then she proceeded to charm the toga off him and they became lovers that first night. To seduce Marc Anthony who had been sent by Rome to straighten her out: she sailed up to meet him dressed in sexy dresses and surrounded by singing and dancing nymphettes, and for a couple of weeks, she wined, dined and entertained him AT HER EXPENSES with extravagant and dazzling spectacles. He too fell under her spell. I don't know why it's so hard to understand that some women are good at going after the men they want. Cleopatra's conquests were no wusses. Cesar and his successor Marc Anthony were the most powerful men/warriors of Rome. So the idea that men who fall for aggressive women must be somewhat confused or effeminate or not quite manly is misguided. IP: Logged |

personally i have always thought the stronger the man's sense of self the more he will admire a "forward" woman. but the game of push-me-pull-you is half the fun, no?? and it takes all sorts really...IP: Logged |

Yeah l know Belage although what you are describing is, to me anyway, SEDUCTION !She didn't play the role of a man... so was ALL woman in her pursuit!  Agree? IP: Logged |

I'd have to agree with Belage in that Cleopatra was very masculine in her approach to men, and very successful at it too. IP: Logged |

In my own life, I know women who are "masculine" in their seductive approach, and women who are what is conventionally considered "feminine."Back in those days I'm so nostalgic about when men were attracted to me, I was very "feminine"--I chased a man until he caught me. I would do it mostly by vibing him, body movements, voice. I think this was my 8th house and Moon-Pluto influence. I didn't ask guys out or ever tell them I liked them. Lots of guys were drawn to and excited by this--I heard a lot that I was mysterious. I have a friend who, in contrast, is very attractive to men and she has ALWAYS marched up and asked the guy out very aggressively right away, including making the first physical move, and having sex whenever she felt like it (usually right after she met a guy she was hot for.) Lots of guys were very drawn to and excited by this, and thrilled by her aggressive approach. There are different styles of seduction, and what is thrilling for one person might leave another cold. It's also very much about the individual person and his/her unique qualities, so it goes beyond "masculine" or "feminine." IP: Logged |

I can't help thinking that maybe Cleopatra also had luck at her side.  I'm sure a smart woman can figure out what a man wants and offer him exactly that and win him over. but since both these men ended up in a long term rel with her - I'm thinking she also lucky. To seduce is one thing - but time can break any spell. IP: Logged |

I was thinking about what Belage wrote about Cleopatra and I think that her "seduction" techniques is really a Martian thing as she is the initiator. Venus lures but Mars attacks and initiates. Likewise, I initiated contact with Mr 23 when we started, my Mars conj his Venus in Gemini. She really is initiating and she probably has Mars in Taurus or something sensual. IP: Logged |

The more a mentally powerful and very high inner self-worth male, the more he will prefer a forward woman. He will prefer to be chased by the forward thinking and independent woman because psychologically he thinks he can easily win her if he chases. He wants to surpass the most difficult challenge possible. Not so successful and not so great looking men do use this subtle surpassor trick to seduce women way out of their league. A seductive woman will become very insecure if she is deliberately ignored. "He must be someone too great to ignore me" runs in the subconsious. In fact a multi-million dollar business exists that teaches such covert manipulation to seduce unwitting womem. It is called "Double your Dating" or something. Deep down, very deep down in the genetic recesses of every woman, there is a throbbing desire for the Alpha Male.
The next level to the Alpha Male is the one who will chase and get the woman he desires, without manipulation. Call him Beta Male. He may like to be chased too, will definitely be chased by many women and will definitely settle for second best after sometime should his first choice not fall for him. Number three level would manipulate and chase. Vast majority of men cutting across Astrological signs would be here. Many here would make great husbands once they get their woman, but many would not be comfortable being chased. The mindset is "If she is chasing me, there must be some weakness/drawbacks in her, even if she looks hot.". A lot of this category would have fun with the chasers and ultimately marry the shy girl. D and E Graders will choose weaker women who they can push around and verbally abuse at will. Pity the women who chase them and then suffer later on. Astrology will help in this case. Afflicted horoscopes can make women fall for D-Graders. Pisces Moon women are primary victims who fall for E-Grade loser men. F Graders are probably the psychopaths and wife beaters. Only karmic debts and negative karmic overreactions explain any relationship in this grade. "Law of Attraction" works very well in relationships. Love yourself very deeply and unconditionally at all levels, you will end up attracting a winner. ------------------ http://tamsoft.co.in/articles.html

Yes, a good post IQ. I suppose like attracts like. Jocks with Jockettes etc. However, are you sure that psychopaths only attract the vulnerable? Well they are easier to pray upon but a psychopath can fool the majority of people. You have to be really in tune to see their game I think. Helps to have Pluto on the DC I think IP: Logged |

That was a great post IQ hunk.From an astrological standpoint, I would think a very alpha and confident male would probably have moon in a fiery sign, or in Scorpio, or the moon would be aspected with natal Mars or Pluto which would explain their EMOTIONAL drive to the top and their warring nature, but would also indicate the type of women they would be attracted to. Very rarely would these men be drawn to a self-effacing, shy, retiring, passive woman, because this is not the kind of moon they have. IP: Logged |

I think an Alpha Male would like whatever woman he had the best chemistry with, and would enjoy her approach whether she was shy and feminine or bold and daring. He would have the security to follow his true feelings rather than deferring to what others thought/felt. quote: Number three level would manipulate and chase. Vast majority of men cutting across Astrological signs would be here. Many here would make great husbands once they get their woman, but many would not be comfortable being chased. The mindset is "If she is chasing me, there must be some weakness/drawbacks in her, even if she looks hot.". A lot of this category would have fun with the chasers and ultimately marry the shy girl.
See, I think women (shy or bold) who avoid these third-tier guys and get with a really secure Alpha Male are dodging a bullet. IP: Logged |

"Law of Attraction" works very well in relationships. Love yourself very deeply and unconditionally at all levels, you will end up attracting a winner. < VERY TRUE.And may I just add that no one wants to be responsible for another person's happiness and "completeness". You have to make peace with being all by yourself first before you will attract your match. A paradox. True. IP: Logged |

i say if he is really interested he will show it and you will know it. i wouldn't want a man who didn't or couldn't go for what he wants. or someone who couldn't handle me when i am going for what i want. a timid man would never catch my interest. i say, let him chase you till you catch him. and i agree with lara 100 percent on not sleeping with him right away as it pretty much nixes any chance of lasting love. i think we all pretty much want someone who really wants us, not just our body. and screw them if they just have thier eye on the paycheck. although i think financial security is also a consideration. along with grooming habbits, you know the stuff that can drive you nuts after you are in love. financially responsible relatively clean snoring habbits style of underwear (prefer boxer breifs) good to his mother (BIGGIE) flatten toothpaste or roll from bottom, or are separate bathrooms a MUST? (i prefer separate bathrooms)(AND do not touch my towel, thank you) you know the little stuff that a venus in virgo looks at. does he mind when you burn the dinner? or does he say, this is GREAT? stuff like that is how you know. when you look like crap and he says, you are so sexy, or beautiful or something that makes you feel like you are dressed to the nines, when he says that when you are in sweats with a dirt smudge on your face, you kNOW.
i wouldn't waste my time ever again on a guy who didn't make me feel like queen of his world. and i gladly make him my manly king. sexist or not. thats how i feel. but keep your GOOD eye on the other stuff and never loan a guy money. well, i don't mean never, but keep your good eye on them. if he is into you you will know it. also : thumbs up IQ.

I do not want to start a debate about when to have sex. Just want to share something that I read a long time ago, can't remember the title of the book. The book was about astrology and relationships and how things between the two persons should progress. Of course it described stuff from Aries to Pisces but what struck me most was the part that said sex should come after commitment according to the zodiac. Scorpio comes after Libra, therefore sex should follow a commitment for partnership or coupledom. Or something like that.  IP: Logged |

well, i think you have a valid point. i am getting married in june and we were in love with each other prior to sex. we actually had already said the words. more his choice than mine after awhile, i wanted to seduce him in the worst way and he kept saying lets do this right, lets wait. FOR WHAT, i want you NOW..you tease..... i guess that was his trick to get me in love. it worked. i suppose it was supposed to be my trick but patience isn't my strongest thing.if a guy really wants you he will eat a mile of your crap to get to your butt.
