I think Mustang is referring to a formula listed in one of the "when will you marry" threads here. It says that the degree difference between your Sun and Venus indicates your age at marriage, with each degree representing one year.

From other things she wrote, I think she just meant that out-of-sign aspects don't count, not that aspects aren't restricted by orb-size. She does mention that a wide conjunction is stronger and more relevant for this than a more narrow sextile, but unfortunately she doesn't specify what she's considering as a wide conjunction, 12º or 25º. Since she even bothers acknowledging orb size though by calling it wide, I think she's using standard orb sizes. So I guess that puts me in the size matters camp.

Aw, you sent away the guy trying to help you fulfill your chart's destiny. Or maybe that formula just refers to proposals? Or, the most likely scenario, the forumula is bullsh1t? The formula works out for me, but not for my fiance. Maybe he's going to stand me up at the altar & I'll marry some random dude who happens to be the same age as his Venus-Sun difference. I'll keep you posted.

(edit - Yes, your Sun forms a wide applying trine with Uranus.)

Lana - An exact aspect would strengthen the sextile and bump it up in your hubby sequence.

Love - Your white diaper would've made a lovely wedding dress!

Thought I'd try it on a friend who had one of those and a couple of marriages after. Creepily enough, it is reflected on his chart.

I took this more as an observation based on the author's personal experience than a guideline. I think someone quoted here as saying it works in the majority of cases - I think the quote was 90%. That sounds good but it means it won't apply to 1 in 10 of people. That's not foolproof.

p.s

"If there are no applying aspects to the Sun or Moon in the chart or if the luminary is in a late degree (27, 28 or 29), I have found that anything can happen when it comes to marriage. It's truly up to the person to realize the potential. I do conside 27, 28 and 29 to be very special degrees. I call them 'wild-card' degrees. I feel that clients can get anything out of this placement that they want if they are willing to go for it."

For example,

my sun is in Sag
Mars in Virgo
Saturn in Libra

(Mars and Saturn are the only two applying aspects after mercury dealing with my sun in my chart.)

If my Sun (Sag) squares mars and then it moves on to conjunct saturn later. Am I looking for an Aries and Capricorn (later) or a Virgo and Libra?

Please help me get some clarity.
