Having been single for a long time has benefited me and still does in a way but I wonder if I'll have some honest/loving romance in the following months. At least some amusement. Honestly, its been pretty crapy lately, and I have been out there, just havent met anyone really ok for me.

Progressed venus moving into 5th house and entering aries will be obvious to me/others? I've been noticing myself more restless and daring with men, not enough though (deep inside, I'm a shy pisces sun)

My chart details are 8th march 1976, Barrow-in-Furness, England, UK

I currently live in London, England

Thanks in advance bunch!

Looking at Libra/Venus/7th house can help us to understand about our relationships. You have Libra modifying Pluto (transformation, also control) focused in the 11th house (friends) so there may be a control or be controlled attitude to relationships: the challenge is to share control in relationships. In addition, you focus this control on having friends (i.e., close but not TOO close).

You have Aquarius (friends) modifying Venus, reinforcing the interest in having some "alone time" in relationships and Venus is sextile Aries (being, also action) modifying Jupiter (expansion) so you may be very active in your need to take actions for yourself in your "friendly relationships". This could indicate something of a "conquering" attitude toward relationships...if you pursue the relationships. You have South node (the past) focused in the 7th house (relationships), so relationships could hold you back in some way, perhaps by causing you to overlook your own needs.

From this it seems you need to have someone to be a "friend" with, who has a loose, free attitude toward relationships and who can give you some "alone time" whenever you need it. As you say, someone who can give you "some amusement". The progression you describe could help you in your search for some relationship fun!

Relating in a friendly way,

Yes, I do need to have my space, and recently came 2 the conclusion that my best and longest love-relationships were those I had with friends becoming partners. I invest a lot in making good new friends, and building trust but its not easy as I'm aware of that "close but not too close" factor in me.

Control struggles are always in the cosmic agenda for me, I see it as a given that sometimes drives me mad (its tiring). I'm accepting more and more (takes a bit with plutonic energies) the fact that death and rebirth is a theme in my group/goals/friends relations.

All you were refering to about my relating needs is true, and has been a more or less recent realisation because in the past, either I chose too independent partners (my pisces/scorp sides suffered sooo much) or very needy/forever 2gether ones (uff, space please), and either way I learnt about real needs and distinguishing these from wants/desires. With squared sun/moon, this subtle distinction btw needs/wants is a constant life lesson.

I adore geminis and aquarius, and if they have water planets and houses they could be an interesting good match.

Hope the progressed venus gives me more drive to pursue bit more assertively in love, have to master the skills, hehe.

Thanks again,

By the way, you probably would have some change in job in the next 3 months.

For a long time and till this very moment, noooo action. During April and May, I was very infatuated with a guy but nothing.

I do want a friendly relationship (back to Tim's message) but my watery side still wants a somehow (within the independence) close and loyal friend/partner.

Anyhow, will be interesting to experience an aries venus, imagine! Its in august when this happens, not a good month for love though?

Alisa, I'm very curious about the job situation you mentioned (actually looking for temping work), lets see...

Selena, very encouraging story that of your friend. I'll ask my two astro friends about venus changes...my moon still has some time in cancer.

Will keep both of you posted on the developments
