I have always wanted an epic love story, however the ones that you could say come closest to that definition were pretty tragic and dramatic and ended in flames with my heart burnt black in the middle. Yet the more unlikely the union was, the more I wanted to fight for it. Now I am in a less flashy, but more affectionate relationship, not without its problems but I wouldn't call it epic. However, I am happy in it. Maybe it was my conditioning to only regard these meteoric love stories as special and authentic while disregarding the more silent, but dependable ones? Must love be grandiose for me to fully appreciate it?

That being said, I would call this union "epic", for good or bad.. They were the love of the other's life, for sure. My regret is, as always, that they couldn't overcome their personal shortcomings and fight for their connection. It always saddens me, it feels like wasted potential.

It sadly happens all of the time. Especially out here in Hollyweird. The past is littered with 'epically' volatile love gone spectacularly wrong. It gets our heart pounding, and our pulse racing; our blood pumping. Sensationalism is designed to do just that. Over time, even as much as we might assert to the contrary, it deeply affects us; we long for that kind of drah-mahh; to be centre-stage in our own crazy love story that makes others envious and dissatisfied with their own.

Why? Ego, ego, ego. We're both built for monogamy, and we aren't; there are enough features in both columns as to be a draw, making the argument rather moot. As a result, there's a directly proportionate relationship between how desirable we find our mate -- and how desirable others find them. We love too ogle celebrity relationships because of how they've typically got equal billing; one is not 'obviously' better than the other. As, let's face it, we're kind of dicks; we'll secretly judge, and compare, every couple we see against itself. 'Why is she with him? Why is he with her?' You know how it goes. Celebrities take that intermediate step out of the way, and we're free to just invest in their shenanigans, or undying love as an unconscious model for ourselves.

As much as we may not want to admit it, we're all secretly (or not so secretly) looking for that relationship which closely resembles whatever schema's been created in our heads, due to our earliest fascination with a celebrity couple.

I have no idea, because my personal question is: "Does a union/relationship always have to include a competition or calculation?"

I love Romy Schneider and her life story. With the stories I heared about her, I guess she was a seeker for love and never realised that she already was a lovely person.

Mercury is retrograde and I wish you all the support of the T-square - that is in sky - to make your personal happy love story happen.

His Moon is perfect for her chart, as sign, but not quite there and so is her Sun/Moon for his Moon/Mars, although Venus would have been better, I guess... and again, almost there, a bit too far

I seem to have loved you in numberless forms...

Sun/Venus is not a deep contact, IME, it's more or less a "vanity, looks" contact (the kind of contact when you like to see the person only in a better light, only when they're in their "success" phase...which was the problem here too, I am sure. I'm sure Alain Delon didn't like to see Romy drunk or drinking or anything other than her "polished" image or that he wasn't willing to cater for her psychological problems and needs...this is how this contact works. And this is how I think Alain Delon is; liking women going up, not someone to cater for, if you know what I mean.

EDIT: I think it's a very suggestive couple for Sun/Venus...they look like a perfect match in their looks, and that is why the public loves them as a couple, but most likely weren't the same good match as personalities.
