What do you guys think about couples taking separate vacations? My nieces father (Aquarius) and his wife (Aries) do it all of the time. I admire their trust in one another and the reasonability of the whole thing. He likes to golf and she likes cruises so why should anyone have a miserable time? My sister (Scorpio) on the other hand can't fanthom any couple, under any circumstances, taking separate vacations. Her thought is a relationship isn't good if they don't go together.
What's your opinion?

I don't think there's anything wrong with it. People don't always have compatible interests and hobbies. I don't know if I would personally consider it (as I'm not married) but I also wouldn't want to make the other person suffer. I guess it doesn't sound so bad to me because I have a virgo moon and 12th house stellium...solitude can be good to me. **Plus, people do need their space sometimes IP: Logged |

I think it's alright. I'm not sure whether or not I'd prefer that. It's possible that I would.IP: Logged |

Hehe, Aquarius here...separate most of the day please...we can be in the same room just let me think in silence.  But vacations would probably be times Id want to spend with my significant other, because Id most likely not be engulfed in my work and other thoughts at that time. I can see how an Aqua and Aries would want separate vacations...they're both very independent signs. IP: Logged |

I think the idea is genius... my moon is in leo/mars in aquarius..i need time to myself/with my girlfriends always..too much time together drives me nuts.. my bf on the other hand thinks it's absurd. he cannot believe couples actually do this and is actually disgusted by the idea...he feels couples should be together...everywhere, always... SURPRISINGLY he's got 5 planets in Sagittarius, 2 in Aquarius, Sun AND Venus conjunct Uranus in the 3rd house. complete opposites on this topic... ------------------

I think it's ok in theory, but it depends on trust. My boyfriend has gone away without me quite a few times (Gemini Sun, Aries asc and moon), but it's usually been with family members like his dad so I've felt at ease about it. Possibly I would feel left out if he really did go away somewhere for a long time on his own. With my past relationship I took short trips on my own a lot. But my ex's ex-wife, when they were married, always took long holidays on her own - they vacationed separately. This was more her (Gemini) idea than his (Virgo) and he didn't like it. Eventually it was on one of her trips that she began an affair, and they eventually divorced. So that knowledge makes me a little bit paranoid of the "separate vacations" scenario. IP: Logged |

I think this is a "personal preference" kind of thing. As long as both parties are open about their feelings on the idea, and both are ok with it, I see no problem in it. I would agree that it is more likely that those who have a predominance of the freedom loving, or independence loving signs would be most suited to it. It wouldn't be my cup of tea personally, but to each his own. Whatever makes them happy.  IP: Logged |

The Virgin -What is your philosophy on this? Maybe depending on the circumstances? That's how I tend to be with this kind of thing. When couples do everything together, it can get to be a little disturbing to me. I figure, if someone is going to cheat, they can do it in the car while going through a fastfood drive-thru, and arrive home with cheeseburgers for only you 15 minutes later. Creating an elaborate vacation not necessary. On the other hand, I can't ignore GeminiLover75's post because it's a perfect example of what happens when you have based your unconditional trust on a pipe "Virgo" dream. That's definately a pitfall to watch out for. Rare is a relationship which balances romantic dreams with practical application. I'm a Libra Cancer/Mooner, Venus in Virgo, Scorpio Stellium, Taurus Rising at 29.50 Degrees. From that, it would seem I need lots of security and committment. But there's a really big part of me that thrives on freedom and needed space. It's not because I'm naturally distant, but because I'm responsible enough to know I need quality time to assimilate my feelings and passion. And it's just a natural fact of life, we find new value in our relationships when we miss someone through distance. But I wouldn't go as far as making this argument directly to a partner, if that makes any sense... alanabelle86 - Those astro stats makes me wanna know what House(s) those Planets in Sag & Aqua are in!! There also sounds like a Saturn/Capricorn/10th House in his Chart, or maybe a strong 4th House Synastry between you or something. Maybe there's really nothing to be found in his Chart, but it's just that he loves you so much ... ------------------
