I know HERA queen of Olympus and the goddess of love and MARRIAGE wants her Zeus, and she found him.
I think she has fulfilled a major desire in her life.

I just wanted to say thank your for you support and to explain your concerns. We see now that those concerns come from a place of love.

Myself, I'm older than the average LL user, but some are older than I. I've been married, had other relationships. I've experienced a lot of ups and downs in life from loss of love, jobs, money, etc. Also plenty of high moments.

Some people are very bitter after a divorce and will openly tell others, "Don't do it!". I've been married once and even though it didn't work out and we've never spoken since. I would do it again and I will tell people that if that's what they want, go for it. By all means, just live and experience. If it doesn't work out, you still have your life. You'll lick your wounds and move forward. (we all hope)
I don't regret it at all. I took what I could from it, learned and hopefully I can apply the lessons from my personal mistakes to the next marriage, if it happens.

I guess it depends on outlook. If a person is prepared that something may NOT work out. It would be worse for me to just not explore that possibility of lifelong love. The feeling of passing it up for something that I see on a screen or a piece of paper... that would haunt me forever. It really would.

Anyway... that's just my Gem moon rambling on forever.
All is well. I'm glad everyone is on the same page and happy! <3

I think we all mean well here. We're a typically more evolved slice of the population, after all. We want better for each other. And we wouldn't be here if we didn't subscribe to Linda's teachings.

I must say I have tremendous respect for your willingness to endure severe heartbreak and continue on trying again. That takes great strength of will and spirit. I think I'm getting there myself. I'm very fortunate that things seem to've worked out for the moment, but I also realised, if they hadn't, I wouldn't crawl into that fabled hole; I'd try again.

CONGRATULATIONS, Hera and Blackbird!!!

I think some of you misunderstood the purpose of this thread. We're not asking for your approval, your blessing or even your opinion. We wanted to share this with Lindaladers because this is where it all started, we have common friends here and we also wanted to send a message to all those warm hearts out there still waiting to find their half, that it can happen even after a long dark night of the soul, and it can be better than you ever imagined it could be. People who know me or BB know we didn't have it easy. But love is inspiring, it makes you want to become a better person, the best version of yourself and also to see the beauty and the good in the people and the world around you. Nobody ever said love is rational though. Plato even said it's a serious mental disease. Does our story raise eyebrows? Probably. We each have Uranus in the 10H, composite has it too. What do you know, so does the FMC.. Our engagement is a promise of hope and commitment to a future together. I never said we're rushing into marriage or having babies.

People are entitled to their own opinion. Nothing I can or would do about that. However, if I ever do consult an astrologer about our relationship, I will make sure he or she is an ethical one, that even if will have some warning signals to draw, will do so with tact, respect and consideration and is not practicing self righteous doom-gloom astrology. This relationship is sacred to us. If anyone wants to share opinions about the chart I posted or elective astrology, keep that in mind.

Breakfast on the beach in Malibu.

Dipping our toes in the Pacific after breakfast. The air was comfortable but the water was very cold.

The Fire girl dancing in a Scorpio tidal wave.

After we wandered on the beach for a while, Hera drove us north on Highway 1. There was an incredible view around every corner.

Everyone is unique. The chart is a template. Experiences matter too.
Sun signs don't tell the whole story. Every sign has good and bad traits.
Evolved, mature people will show more of the good traits of their signs.

Since you guys met online, are there any of the usual 'online markers' in your synastry? I'm always curious about that.

posted December 09, 2013 01:45 AM            

amazing! I've no idea who Blackbird is, but he sure is one lucky man to have scooped Hera up!

A long and blessed lifetime together to you both!!!!!!!!!

I know a couple from another site, who married two years ago - they developed a long-distance relationship late 2009, were engaged on their second meeting (officially) in 2010, and married in 2011. Now they have a baby on the way - a little Taurus - and they're very happy.

Congratulations Hera and Blackbird!

I like the Moon, Jupiter, Venus, Mercury, configuration in that engagement chart.

Say, was there a chemistry when you first met? Is it too nosy to ask about your synastry? Sorry couldn't help myself, I'm a synastry addict.

Don't listen to the nay sayers. I'm one that believes you can know when someone is the right choice for you very quickly. It's how seriously we take the marriage itself that counts. You're engaged. That doesn't mean you're getting married tomorrow. And even if your were, Yours Truly Always did a quickie courtship, and he's been with his wife 20 years so far.

I've noticed some of the posters have been way too negative. They should be happy for you!

And like Lotis I like the cradle figuration of Jupiter-Moon-Mercury-Venus very much.

Especially taking into consideration that MErcury rules the 1st house and Jupitr the 7th house of the chart. Looks fine, having them trine.

also, the Venus-Jupiter-opposition is aligned with your composite Venus-Karma-conjunction quite closely, and if I am generous in orbs, also includes composite Sun.

posted December 10, 2013 12:17 AM            

Since you guys asked about synastry and comp, I'm gonna list some major aspects, although if you ask me, even though they are alright, the duads hold the magic.

From memory, we have a double-whammy Sun-Venus conj and opp between duad/radix and an applying prog Sun (mine) trine his natal Venus and Mars. Will need to look more for specifics.

Also I was mistaken about the ASC/DC axis of the FMC being conj *both* our NN/SN axis, it is only conj mine. But the FMC makes plenty of aspects to my chart, his chart and the composite. I don't have the time or patience right now to list them all, the duads or the progressions. But there are links everywhere.

Thank you everyone again!
