I don't knowthe same aspects that could indicate being single forever could also possibily indicate being in bad marriages also..there are some people that believe being single is a good thing. Some people don't believe in marriage and some don't even believe in sex. They might actually have harmonious aspects. it's very relative.

the first person who came to mind when i read the topic was my mother. i just checked her chart. she has pluto AND saturn in 7th house. ruled by leo. she got divorced in 1980. she hates men. glaucus i remember you talking about your exes mom and her family. and she reminds me of her! i was checking some storage unit prices for my SO today (who is a stand up guy i might add). i was telling my mom about it and she says "well why cant he do it!" i said umm bc he is at work and i am not. what in the hell. and i said to myself...thats why shes alone. its really sad. also cancer sun and cappy rising. she really wants to be loved, just cant let the past go. if i would not have paid attention, i would have ended up like her.IP: Logged |

being single is a choice, whether it's through your own making, or your circumstances, etc. periods of aloneness for someone who wants to be coupled up should be looked at as times to fortify the self and get ready for the next phase of life. there's always a reason from my experience. sometimes people will go on dating as if on autopilot, not realizing the broader ramifications of the choices they're making or how their vision is being clouded. droughts aren't bad if you have water [inner resources] in the reserve is this your chart you're thinking of or anothers? i agree with raymond as well.

Saturn is exalted in the 7th house, this being Libra's house, the sign in which it is exalted. Badly aspected? Depends what that means. It could have tense aspects, it could have more flowing aspects that even it out. If it means single forever something is wrong as I have Saturn in the 7th with a couple of tricky aspects (a couple of flowing ones too) and have been married for a long time. IP: Logged |

Well for example, I have a book titled, "When Planets Promise Love"....by Rose Murray. In this book, she has examined numerous marriages and found which aspects work best together, and also how to find your marriage year, compatibility aspects, etc. Things like that. (She mostly used famous people, people who's lives you could follow or do research on.)SO I was wondering, has anyone ever researched people who have never gotten married and stayed single forever, like what is in their natal charts that shows this? As far as free will, and being single or getting married being a choice, well......yes we all believe in free will, but if astrology describes the organization of the Universe and how everything happens for a reason, how things are "timed" so to speak.......then I would think that it *would* show in the charts of those people who have never gotten married and stayed single forever. Just tryin' to 'splain where I'm coming from. ????????????? IP: Logged |

I know someone with venus conj. saturn in the 7th square neptune and moon, and she got married when she was 36 and widowed when she was 41. Now, I'm not saying people with saturn in the 7th lose their spouse. what I want to say is that saturn is about slow and steady construction which might delay things. So she got married kind of late, and now I think she is slowly starting to date men again. So here we have another case of someone with saturn in 7th badly aspected who got happily married. Another person I know remained single all her life (60 now). She is cancer rising with ruler moon in acquarius in 7th, ruler of 7th saturn is in 2nd retrograde and well aspected. She chose to be single, and I think it's the acqua moon (needing freedom) ruler of the chart. IP: Logged |

Shes never gotten married, she has kids but never married the father. I asked her why no marriage? she said never felt the need to depend on a man. Extremely independent. I didnt get it, I thought she was beautiful and could be married by now, but being with someone never seemed interesting to her.

I noticed that her Sun-Moon-Jupiter stellium squares the heliocentric Uranus Nodes.......so strong emphasis on being independent,unconventional heliocentric nodes of objects move up to 1 degree per century
currently Uranus Nodes are in 14'03 Gemini/Sagittarius. the Uranus Nodes have been located between 13 and 14 degrees Gemini/Sagittarius for a century.
She also has the Nodes of Mars and Mercury oppose her Ascendant/Descendant axis currently Mercury Nodes are in 18'26 Taurus/Scorpio and Mars Nodes are in 19'38 Taurus/Scorpio

so you're equating single forever to mean never marrying? that's a pretty broad scope. what if they have meaningful romantic relationships outside of the traditional marriage, or what traditional marriage means for their cultural sphere - are they still single?IP: Logged |

I think one of the problems is an outdated idea of "married" versus "single"...and it's not outdated for everyone in the world. Imagine these scenarios: -Person A: has a series of passionate, really fun affairs over the course of a life devoted to creative work. -Person B (this is me): has a series of boyfriends from puberty on, falls madly in love as a teen, stays with the guy until she is in her thirties, then leaves him. It was a committed, monogamous relationship that felt like a marriage, the breakup felt like a divorce. Now (a couple of years later), she is still single, by far the longest ever without a boyfriend. NOTE: I do not consider this an unhappy, bad, or tragic relationship just because it wasn't the right thing for me forever. I find the idea that only lifelong, old-fashioned marriages where the people stick it out forever can be fulfilling very conservative and misguided. Many different kinds of relationships and connections can be fulfilling. Person C: Never has sex and is never loved by anyone (if this is even possible.) Person D: is in an arranged marriage, does not love her spouse, and is very unhappy Person E: has an open marriage with someone she mutually loves very much--they have been married for 30+ years and are committed to staying married forever, but both of them regularly and consensually see other people Person F: Falls madly in love at age 27 with a woman she spends her whole life breaking up, then reuniting with, in a rather exciting and torrid series of turbulent encounters. She writes three novels about it. Person G: Is in an arranged marriage, and she and her husband are madly in love and excited to be together. I just don't think "married" versus "single" or "in a relationship" versus "single" are relevent at all. The questions to look for in each chart would be--is this person happy in love? Does he/she have fulfilling relationships (or lack thereof), that reflect his/her deepest wants, needs, and cravings? IP: Logged |

Interesting. I think aquarius/uranus may play as big a role as Saturn in these cases, because Uranus is unconventional, and not marrying or being single all the time is unconventional and requires independence.I looked at a chart of a woman who married once when she was I think around 19 or 20, had three children, then divorced after about ten years and so far seems completely uninterested in dating again. It was a very traumatic marriage to a very wealthy, eccentric banker (for example, she had a seizure in the kitchen, and her husband asked her mother to call the ambulance while he stepped over her body and made a sandwich). It is a little different than chronic singleness, but it is still interesting to look at her chart for circumstances of marriage. A girl I know who feels she will never get married, who doesn't ever want to be married or involved in any intimate relationship, has a Venus conjunct Chiron opp. Uranus conjunct Saturn in Gemini and Sagittarius, both the latter trine Jupiter in Aries (which is squaring Mars in Cancer). I don't have a birth time, though. Sorry for tangents! I only speak of marriage because it is the most obvious sign of attachments. :P IP: Logged |

Agent, I would think Venus-Pluto conjunct would mean lots of people would get sexually obsessed with you.Amowls, your aspects are fascinating! What do you look for in relationships? Are you more interested in something one-on-one and longterm, or excitement and adventure, or what? IP: Logged |

amowls, I would like to hear the answer to Lucia's questions too... I've read that Aries Jupiter can make a person impulsive, opposite Moon would tend to have sudden, strong, big feelings... and with a Libra moon in 1st (opp right?) would seem like you define yourself by relationships to feel satisfied and whole... so Aries Jupiter opp Libra Moon does sound like someone who would have many stimulating relationships and be very active in that area, even though it might be uncomfortable because Libra tends to like things to be even keeled and Aries/Jupiter energy is pretty loud and independent (long term vs. excitement dealio). To me, outer planets mean "others" so having three outer ones in your 7th could more symbolize the kind of people you end up in relationships with, esp conjunct descendant (Saturine, Uranian, Neptunian...). Maybe with Saturn, you find your partners restricting and break away from them, but then start new ones thanks to Jupiter giving you wide social circle (11th). It might not be hard to do, because there is a trine between the two planets in 7th, partners, 11th, friends... so partners (any kind) becoming friends and friends becoming partners might not be uncommon? I apologize if I'm getting carried away with interpretations, I'm just making wild guesses. You do have interesting aspects. I don't think your 7th house is crappy, but your Venus probably gets into trouble. XD IP: Logged |

"Letters from two astrologers unknown to each other asked us the same question. Did we know why people born with the Sun near 13-Gemini or 13-Sagittarius seemed to have so much difficulty in making marriage a success? Of course, this meant success according to orthodox standards which are quite inadequate, but it was interesting to note that each astrologer had unconsciously called the exact position of the nodes of the planet Uranus (Individual Reform Guide and Seventh House principle). Marriage is difficult where this principle is concerned because marriage is a Man-made institution that was molded in ignorance of this principle. When he wrote the Ten Commandments General Moses had his intellectual limitations.""while planets conjunct or square the nodes of Uranus have a very restless and rebellious spirit." http://mysite.verizon.net/bonniehill/pages.aux/astrology/tobey/tobey.14.html Uranus Nodes in 13'51 Gemini/Sagittarius square Ascendant/Descendant axis in 13'27 Virgo/Pisces trine/sextile Uranus in 15'17 Libra in 2nd sextile/trine Ceres in 13'57 Leo in 11th sextile/trine Eris in 12'15 Aries R in 8th
I have never been married, but I do want to be married. I also wouldn't mind being in a common-law marriage. I am almost 38 years old. I believe that I am a late bloomer. I've been pretty much a late bloomer in almost everything. Eris Nodes in 5'30 Taurus/Scorpio in 8th/2nd oppose/conjunct Sun in 5'20 Scorpio in 2nd
There is no mention of Eris in the planetary nodes article because Eris was discovered in 2005,and the article was written long before the discovery of Eris. Eris is 30 percent larger than Pluto. If astrologers view Pluto as a planet, then viewing Eris as a planet makes sense. If Pluto is viewed as having strong astrological influence, then Eris can be viewed as having a strong astrological influence. Eris orbits well beyond Pluto and has a much slower orbit than Pluto. Therefore,Eris more outer-planet like than Pluto. Therefore,it's more metaphysically oriented and probably relates more to the rebirth,transformation process. It does seem to have to do with diversity,ideology,divergence,controversy,discord. It also seems to rule the Dialectic process. Being a scattered disk object, Eris' orbit is more eccentric and inclined. It orbits well off the ecliptic. Therefore, Eris is a more of nonconformist than Pluto is. Uranus has nothing on nonconformity with its orbiting on the ecliptic like the other planets. Pluto and Eris are more nonconformists than Uranus when it comes to astronomical/orbital features. also My Moon (women) is in 3'11 Pisces squares 5th house ruler (romance) Saturn in 5'08 Gemini in 9th squares 4th/7th house ruler Jupiter in 8'17 Sagittarius in 3rd squares 7th house ruler Neptune in 1'48 Sagittarius in 3rd also square transneptunian dwarf planet candidate, Varuna in 3'10 Gemini R figures into the t-square...gives it more of a highly metaphysically oriented challenge so that relationships with woman can be very difficult aspects to the following could indicate some help in relating with women: trines to Sun in 5'20 Scorpio in 2nd trines to transneptunian dwarf planet candidate plutino,Ixion in 5'25 Scorpio in 2nd trine to transneptunian dwarf planet candidate Quaoar in 2'22 Scorpio in 2nd sextile transneptunian dwarf planet candidate trine to transneptunian dwarf planet candidate sextile Sedna in 2'06 Taurus R in 8th in Right Ascension Chart:

my answer to the original question would be "I DOUBT IT!"taurusvirgoleolady - i also have saturn and pluto in 7th, unless you use equal houses, and i am currently single. however i have had one marriage which lasted in FACT 10 years, and in LEGALITY for 18, when he decided he wanted to marry his common-law wife of 8 years! before that i had a couple of extremely significant relationships of 3-4 years as well. (i am still friendly and in touch with my ex-husband)... so i don't think i qualify as "single forever" by ANY means, and i certainly don't hate men, i have just been too busy with my child and career (and supporting my child) to get involved for many years. i am actually looking forward to having a social life again, or MORE social life which might include men or a man...
