I also met my last dude..the ex- Mr. Leo on April 30, 2001. Same type of situation, I had butterflies in my stomach all the way out to Idaho and when my plan landed - I knew something was going to affect my life deeply.

These are the transits that I noticed that occured during both meetings:

1) T. Pluto in close proximity to my N. Venus in my 3rd house.

2) Sun in my 8th house (both are Taurus risings).

3) Personal planets in the 7th and 9th house. First meeting it was Jupiter and Saturn in the 9th with Venus in the 7th. Second time it was Venus in the 9th and Mercury in the 7th.

4) Saturn on the first meeting was opposing my Venus and in the second meeting it was completing my T-square with Moon (7th) Uranus (1st) and Mercury (4th).

Now in their charts each guy had the following:

1) Sun in conjunction with their Ascendant.

2) Saturn in close proximity to their N. Venus or conjuncting their N. Venus

3) Pluto in their 8th house

4) Venus or Mercury in their 12th house (where my N. Moon falls into each of their 12th houses)

Have any of you ever noticed meeting people at certain times of the year as being more signicant than other times.

Astro- you brought up another good point, the fall is another time when I usually meet people - must be that nesting thing going on.

I think it would be interesting to see what motivates people or what circumstance brings people in our lives.

Every summer Venus is in Gemini at the start right? Maybe it's good that we keep it light in summer, so many new people/sensations.

Feb/March is more heavy/moody for me.
This Feb I was dating three or four different people. By my birthday I prefer to be with the "winner" of the race.

But there is no guarantee that person will be around by Fall. I was told by a psychic that she always predicts meeting someone in early Spring because most people do.

I like to be close pretty much all the time but in July/August, or December.
This year I had a Pluto Transit in Feb, so that really heated things up, right after a Neptune transit. I was breaking all sorts of barriers and found love in unusual places.

I agree with the Pluto transit theory,
and I meet more air signs in spring and more earth and water signs in fall.

Oh, I do understand where you are coming from. I must say though, your Venus conjunct Neptune - in a time like this- is just adding this very powerful, oh what is the right word..- emotion to your words. I can just about FEEL what you are saying. Well, from the outside it seems that you have two very differing and somewhat conflicting aspects going on that are somewhat being highlights. Is the transiting Neptune in Aquarius sending little beams to you right now? (you have Neptune and Venus in Sag right?) So I wonder if that Uranus in Pisces transit is triggering the longing for freedom..the need to just let go and "be" ?

Having a strong Uranus (man, I just can't say that without laughing) will pull you to NEED that freedom - so you have this need for freedom and a need to merge / melt and be spiritual. Almost like a crazy Moon opposed Uranus aspect..

Hmmm, I may be pulling thing out of...Uranus..but to me - having the T. Uranus in Pisces is wreaking havoc with your Saggie (Namely..Neptune) planets while that Neptune in Aqua is affecting your Scorp planets (Namely Uranus and the conjuncts)..see the pattern?

Hey there chiquita, how are you? I like what you said about the Venus aspects and karma. It makes alot of sense..hmmmm. cool. So tell me about Mr. Pisces? How did the date go?

My new guy is a Taurus Sun / Taurus Ascendant with his Virgo Moon in the 5th house. He acts very Leonine..and I LOVE his Jupiter in Aries..forms a very tight conjunction with my Moon in my 7th house..speaking of 7th house..my Venus falls in his and both our moons fall into the others 12th house..lots of Karma..

He is like no one I have ever met before and I feel totally free to be myself - expressive, happy, sad..goofy - because he is very open spiritually, emotionally, metaphysically. We both come from traditional Churchie backgrounds, but we have both formed out own spiritual awareness. He studies Taoism and I study Shamanism / Dream - we are both into astrology, but he is still at the semi-beginning phase. He is a quick study though..in fact he can teach me a thing or two about life from all his world travels.

One of the things I truly love about his personality is that he is very open and expressive. He is not afraid to talk about our differences. He won't think I am weird when I have one of those dreams that come true, or when I talk about Neptune wreaking having with my Moon or something like that. It is refreshing..

Oh yeah..and in addition to being in the Army / MP (working with the K9 unit) he is also....a licensed acupressure and massage therapist..YIPPPEEE..I LOVE backrubs!!! He also calls me his Little BiC..Little Bio-chemist.

Okay, I have to stop gushing or I am going to look like a dweeb.

Oh, yeah...and I am flying out to see him in Tucson on the 21st..hee hee..I just can't stand not seeing him. He's looking into getting reservations at the resort and spa...ahhhh...I am being spoiled..

The date with the Pisces was fun! We had margaritas outside in the heat. Then we went inside for...air conditioning. I've known him for a couple of years. Funny story, but not one to share on a public message board (maybe off-site). Anyway, I originally had his birthdate wrong, so it turns out he's a Pisces Sun/Aries Moon/Venus in Aries/Mars and Mercury in Aquarius (like me ). Aries and Aquarius Moons seem to be a recurring theme for me.

Anyway, I have a Taurus Rising friend who sounds like your new guy. He loves making plans like that with the people he's dating. Don't question it, relish it! You deserve to have a wonderful time!

Oh yes...I didn't see that in my "pattern" in my mind..but these transits have to be affecting you even more so...

1st house: how you present yourself..your personality

7th house: your mate - relationships etc..

It kind of becomes clear and fits even more..

You are struggling with your freedom of being who you are and your need to merge. First house vs Seventh house, which is a natural opposition - Aries / Libra - and all the issues contained in those houses are being highlighted by those T. planets.

Are you questioning who you are as an individual and how you are in the couple? I think you said something about feeling a loss of your identity through the relationship. It makes perfect sense.
