This is fascinating. Has anyone read about this? It piqued my interest because I have a male friend whose Sun is Pisces and Moon in Libra. He appears shy but has shades of a wild man on the inside. He, also, has a number of planets in Aquarius which in his mix--- seems to confer some degree of sexy soul saving detachment. LOL.Shyness & Love: Causes, Consequences, and Treatment by Dr. Brian G. Gilmartin University Press of America, Inc. 1987 Excerpt: 1. Love-shy men have a surfeit of planets located in the 4th, 5th, and 6th houses. This is interesting because in astrology this signals low self-sufficiency combined with high introversion/inhibition. 2. The chronically love-shy are significantly more likely than self-confident men to have their natal Saturn in the 5th or 7th houses. This is interesting because in astrology Saturn is the planet of restrictions. It is often referred to as the “negative teacher”. The 7th house is the house of marriage and partnerships; the 5th house is the house of sex and of children. 3. Chronically love-shy men have an overrepresentation of Mars in Cancer and in Pisces. In astrology Mars is the planet of energy and drive. Cancer and Pisces are regarded as the two worst signs for Mars because they are associated with inertia and with energy wastage. 4. Love shy men tend to have significantly more fixed signs and earth signs in their horoscopes than do self-confident, non-shy men. In astrology such combinations would be associated with inhibition and with stubborn and often intractable problems such as love-shyness. 5. Love-shy men are quite likely to have a natal Saturn that is square or conjunct to the natal sun or natal moon. Many loveshys have Saturn in the same sign as either their sun, moon, or ascendant. 6. Severely love-shy men are significantly more likely than nonshys to have their natal Mars in one of the following four houses: 7th, 6th, 4th, and 3rd, in that order. Severe love-shyness seems to be associated with the natal Mars being opposite either the native’s ascendant or the native’s midheaven--give or take an orb of ten degrees. 7. Severely love-shy men show some tendency for their natal Neptunes to be at or near their midheavens. Neptune is the planet of fantasy, daydreams and illusion. Those with Neptune at or near the midheaven are believed by astrologers to be dominated (ruled) by fantasy and illusion. 8. Severely love-shy men show some preponderance of planets, sun, moon, ascendant, and midheaven, in signs ruled by Venus: i.e., Taurus and Libra. Many love-shy men have at least two of the three major astrological elements (sun, ascendant, and moon)in the Venus-ruled Taurus and Libra. 9. Down through the centuries it has been noticed that the severely love-shy (men in particular) are substantially more likely than the non-afflicted to have been born during the May 16 to 19 period than during any other four-day period of the calendar year. The star called Caput Algol rules this four-day period. Traditionally this star had been called “The Evil One”. And the evidence collected from scores of astrologers (including contemporary ones) indicates that this star does appear to have a detrimental impact upon a person’s powers of endurance. Men, in particular, who had been born during this four-day period are highly likely to be excessively passive. Further, the Caput Algol personality is commonly perceived as being “pleasant but non-competitive” and sort of unambitious. 10. Astrologers determine a person’s sign for twelve different items: the sun, the moon, the rising sign, the midheaven, the two inner planets, and the six outer planets. Each of these twelve items had been in some astrological sign at the moment of a person’s birth. The severely love-shy are much more likely than the non-afflicted to have been born with nine or more of these twelve items in “negative” or “feminine” signs: i.e., Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Pisces. 11. Those born with Jupiter and Saturn conjunct (give or take an orb of ten degrees) have an above average vulnerability towards becoming severely love-shy. This is especially true if the conjunction occurs in the 5th or 7th houses. Website address is: http://www.love-shy.com/Gilmartin/Chapter04/research.html IP: Logged |

I think I've come across as love shy at times. I do have four planets in the 4th - 6th houses. My Saturn is in my 1st, and in my Ascendant's sign. My Mars in Scorpio is in the 6th opposite my ascendant. I don't have any Taurus, but I have two planets ruled by Libra, and three planets in Libra's house (7th).

I'm certainly not "love shy", and I have many of these supposed "love shy" placements. I am introverted, however. I hate people, as a principle, but I love intimate relationships and I'm always ready for the girl with whom I share a mutual attraction to give me a chance at love. In response to the article: 1. I have 6 planets in the 4th and 5th houses. 4. I have 5 planets in fixed or earth signs, plus fixed Asc 5. I have natal Saturn conjunct natal Moon. IP: Logged |

1 to 4 fits me... 11 half (7 or 8 out of 12 in the signs mentionned)It's not that I'm love shy... but I rarely take first initiative... I need to be wanted, I don't want... I need to be in control... If that happens, I can be very loving... IP: Logged |

Although the 5th house is in the lower half of the chart, it is about self expression and ego. Creativity as well as children and romance. It lends to the performing arts as well.The 12th house is more the place of introversion and retreat and feeling imprisoned. IP: Logged |
