Libra guy has his Natal Mars & Jupiter in the 7th. Currently transiting his 7th House is the Sun, Moon, Merc, Mars, Saturn & Pallas!!

Venus not trailing too far behind, still in the 6th.

And I can't wait for August to come, and either can my kiddo.

It's personal but the reason I ask is because I have often wondered if that works for others, or if it could work for me, I did that with my ex before marriage and it was a mess financially. It's hard to tell if it was because of who we were, or if it's just a bad idea to buy together without being married..

In the end I think we got married to make our lives easier and it just got more complicated.

Natasha, we do seem to be heading down that path...we talk about it, like it's just a matter of time before that comes to pass. It just seems like the right thing to do, to both of us. I've never been so comfortable with the idea of marriage like I am with him. But, he's gotta propose first...hopefully his Venus and Mars in Cancer, in the 12th, will let him be brave enough to stick his neck out and ask me. He already knows the answer will be yes.

We're just renting this house for now, but the plan is to pool our money and save for a down payment on a house. I would like to be married first, but I don't know which will come first, the house or a wedding.

Ok, I just freeked myself out when I re-read that last sentance. "I can't believe that's MY life I'm talking about here!"

Hush, Saggie rising...you too Aqua moon...You'll still be free to do what you want. He's not controlling and hyper-sensative like the ex was. It'll be ok, you'll see.

Maybe it's the Saturn transit my 8th house is experiencing right now, which caused that reaction. Just reminding me of how serious a commitment of this magnitude is.

Just be sure not to buy the house first because I have found that it's really hard to keep it simple after that, marriage makes shared property a lot simpler if you split up.

BTW his Venus in Cancer in the 12th sounds super sweet, I am happy for you:>

He decided not to go to the funeral and spend the entire weekend with me which I thought was sane since it was a 5 hour drive, and very thoughtful and considerate of me. We had a really good time, and I showed him around Montreal.

I enjoy Montreal, maybe I enjoy the food a little too much but the Venus in Cancer in him thinks I need to put on weight! He is sincere too.

So far so good, we are seeing each other about every two weeks, we'll see how it goes in the winter. I am determined not to move again, so if heartbreak occurs I can't move, no matter what. And I won't live with him, I won't do that again for all the tea in china.

He is really thoughtful but sometimes too practical as in fixing things, but you can tell he cares, both about me and my family, and he does show me lots of affection in public, even when I ask in a demanding Taurus way. He seems happy that I ask, and amazed at how direct and demanding I am that way:>

I still feel we ought to be friends if we can't see each other regularly so we can be free to date others. He is not going to be good at dealing with those kinds of issues. I believe we will go through Christmas and then re-evaluate.

He was the one who asked for monogamy and commitment BTW, although I asked I never hinted which way I was leaning, I wanted his honest answer, and he told me he had no idea what I wanted really. I am glad he was honest about that because he has a tendency to tell me a story rather than the truth when he wants me to be happy. As you know, I just want the facts.

Still I would like a chance at dating others sometimes, but I've done that and he's the best of the crop, I still have male friends and I have intention of giving that up, but I will know more in about six months. It's a paradox but if I am committed I will break it off because it may not go anywhere, in that we have different values, or I cannot lean on him emotionally.

I told him with no ifs ands or butts, we will take time off then for a month and not contact each other to think things through. He's still not at I love you, but then I don't know if I would marry him.
