imho, people are more than their charts, much much more. Even if you found a person with all the exact astro-qualities you think would be perfect, what if there were no chemistry?? (there are several threads on just that topic right here in this forum. I think shop22 posted one)

Do you believe that it is possible to reduce human souls to an astrological recipe card?? Do you think that if you found a Libra Sun man (conjunct your Moon) with his Mars in Libra (conjunct your Venus), plus the other requisite Saturn/Neptune/Pluto links then this MUST be your soulmate??

There are also a LOT of topics here about Soulmates. If I were you, I would use the Search function in this forum under the words "Add Reply" at the top of this page -- and then *read* all the topics for peoples' thoughts and feelings on the subject of finding one's "soulmate". I would especially look for fayte.m's posts.

And I do not mean to be harsh, but I think the Universe has a way of *not* bringing you the man you need if you are "desperately searching".....

I've had partners whose astro-charts don't have ANY of the supposed compatibility aspects -- so how do we rationalize/astrologize that??

I almost gave up on men, but recently I met a couple. They've been married 9 years. They are so in love. My friend said I hope when I talk about my "Joe-Joe" that you don't get jelous-I don't mean to brag. I told her that it has restored my faith in love. There really is one that's perfect for me.

I haven't met him yet. I decided a while ago that I wasn't ready. The way I see it is a couple makes a perfect circle, but if my 1/2 of the circle is incomplete how can I be part of a complete union? My friend said, as I've heard many times, It will find you when you least expect it.

I would suggest that you take the time to work on you, and follow Zala's advice.

Thank you 'Zala and Kim for the very wise and helpful reminders. Sometimes when we push too hard for what we want is when we invite heartache into our lives...

It's all too true, that love will find you when you're not looking for it...

I never thought of platonic loves as being romantic, but that makes sense. I've always heard that you can't expect one person to fulfill all of your needs. I guess that could also include romantic aspects as well. There are people in my life that fill many of my hearts needs. When I commune with nature it fills a part of me that longs for spiritual love & serenity.

Thanks for that insight; that was really beautiful. It also reminds me to appreciate what I do have.

Do not dwell, on boyfriends who do not work out, focus on the future, and drive your own train in determining your future, hook up with whoever is most supportive of you.

With Sag rising you will make the first move and you can be comfortable knowing it looks good on you. I have Sag rising and I never wait for the river to come to me, I try to make the best decision at the time with what I have and if it's not the right one then I work at searching...

Giving up on a man and looking for another is better than giving up on yourself.

I just don't believe a Sag rising is going to wait!

Good luck, I have much better luck with men now that I ask them out myself, instead of waiting, I have never had a good relationship with a man who made the first move, as I am told I look more confident than I am and that is my best feature. It's a perception but it's a strength.

As a fire sign rising, your strengths are masculine and hard to integrate into your life.

You may end up with a man who likes you to be more bossy than him, but it can be happy this way. I've had more luck with feminine rising sign men, such as Virgo.
