...implying double whammy Vertex-AC and South node-planets-black moon contacts?
I mean that kind of aspects is known to be fateful. But due to psychological problems and different obstacles I/we cannot handle the intensity of this relatioship. So, what's the point of this meeting if I/we cannot handle it?

Thanks for your answer. You are right, I just have to wait and see what happens.

However, I am quite pessimistic as we both have communication problems (our Mercury are opposed and Mars square Saturn in the composite chart). I feel verbally paralyzed (don't know what to say, just want to stay close to him and feel his presence, but even that is not so easy).It drives me mad. I have the impression that I am missing my one chance of finding a true love partner. I feel very bad.

Here are the synastry chart:

Sometimes the Karma is for the relationship to "not" really develop...
You learn something about yourself, when the relationship doesnt develop into anything.. You learn it because you wanted it to develop so bad, but it didnt... You feel the loss, and you have to go back and think about where it went wrong, and "maybe" next time when you feel this way, the relationship will develop..

Everything happens for a reason..

Yes, you are probably right. Thanks Lioness for your insight!
I feel very sad as if I had missed something very important, but that's certainly the way it had to be.

Dont refuse it otherwise you will go through that encounter again after reborn or in this life... just make it quick of soul development. Dont delay it.

I am just trying to leave only one business to next life and i will be choose a perfect natal chart that i will be fortunate every part of life...

I have refused, to me, what seemed like fated encounters.

and I have to agree they are both apart of a pattern I'm noticing... and there is a third person coming into the same pattern.

I have refused all of them...simply because I don't want to get hurt, all of them would cause me great heartache, which I already know, but I guess I have to go "there". I'm very reluctant because I'm an intense person. and it could potentially emotionally destroy me...but it's hard because I get all these intese feelings, fated feelings. I start to fall for them, even though I know I shouldn't then, I tell myself I can't and retreat...and walk away

only to find the same situation, just a differnt person..sigh

I don't mean to 'hijack' the thread, but I'm in a similar situation (detailed in a different thread) - in that I find myself in a situation now that is almost exactly like a situation I was in 4 years ago. The thing that bothers me the most is I just don't know how I'm supposed to act; what I should do or not do, and it gets me because I feel like its some kind of karma. I mean, its like that situation 4 years ago, part 2, which makes me feel like there is some lesson I'm supposed to be learning or something different I'm supposed to do. I really want to know what, because I don't want to find myself in a situation like this again sometime in the future.

samsaoule,

My understanding of karma is that it brings about fated encounters based on what your Soul decided you would tackle in this lifetime - this was a decision made before you were born. While fated circumstances may present themselves to you, you have a choice as to what you decide to tackle for the moment - what you don't will just return at a later date.

It's like walking down the street and suddenly encountering a person who is trying to draw your attention and ask you for something. You have a choice here - you may decide to respond, or you may decide to keep walking. Karma brought that person/situation to you, but you may exert your will by choosing not to engage with the situation here and now.

If you choose to refuse, like MertSerimer was saying, the situation will repeat, perhaps in a different manner though embodying the same theme, until you decide to dive in and learn or experience what your Soul had intended for you. If the karmic tie to the person is strong enough, you may encounter him/her again in this life or in another, until you reach a balance or the both of you decide to let it go with an attitude of love.

sam,

I just re-read your question. I think my post above was perhaps much too general.

I think that if you feel you cannot handle it at this moment, you have a choice to move on, but may encounter that person again later if the ties are strong enough. The Vertex and South Node contacts sound like it. However, you may find yourself gaining strength as you work with the situation, to where you are able to handle all that it comes with..

I have had such a situation in my life. I met him around 10 years ago - we had an easy rapport with each other and fell hard for each other. He pushed me to consider making our relationship official, to date him, to talk to my parents about it. I wasn't ready at the time since the differences seemed insurmountable to me, and I just wasn't strong enough. So instead I ended up taking the easy way out, and found myself married to someone else. I was miserable and it never fit from the beginning with this other person. I was starting to go through my Saturn Return, and in my solitude, I found myself working through my issues, until I found the strength to leave the failed marriage.

Circumstances led me to the same city where my love was, to a situation where I began running into him once a week or so. The feelings had never gone away, and we got back with each other. He had been badly hurt though by my previous actions, and backed out this time around, hurting me in the process. We still cared deeply for each other but he wasn't ready to get over his hurt.

A year & half went by, and he got a job in another city. He suddenly re-initiated a relationship with me despite knowing of his impending move, and we have been together ever since, despite the distance. This time around, we both seem to be ready to see this through to wherever it may take us.

To sum it all up, this is our third iteration of being in a relationship together - I wasn't ready the first time around, while tables were turned the second time. Somehow we got yet another opportunity. I think this illustrates how karma works..

So, sam, I think you should do what feels right to you. If you feel like you want to continue with your situation, and learn as you go - stick with it. If you don't feel strong enough, be kind to yourself and let it go.. it will return some day and give you another opportunity.

Ah, sam.. I really should attempt to read the entire thread before posting. I just saw the charts you posted.

You two have some strong karmic ties, it seems - the nodal contacts, Vertex/AC, etc. Your synastry chart shows why it may feel difficult to you - there are a number of oppositions and squares. But you have easier Saturn aspects that speak of possible longevity - his Moon sextiling your Saturn, and your Mercury sextiling his Saturn. Your Venus sextiles his Pluto - must feel like a magnetic connection to you.

I still say, go with what feels right to you. Do you want to keep trying to work on it? If you do, be patient with yourself and with him. If not, let him know you're not ready right now, and be aware you may be letting it go for good (in this lifetime). Though, you could ask to remain friends and continue the association. If you're meant to, you will have a chance again at this relationship down the road.

For the most part I agree with what every one is saying.. If you dont face it now, you will have to at some point...

But I also think each person we are faced with like this is Karma..
Even though I do believe in free will, I think things work out the way they are suppose to work out...

I have a karmic tie with someone... I just want him so bad... But he wont go there with me.. He cant... I believe he's doing what he's suppose to do.. He feels that for a reason...
Because he rejected me, its made me look deep inside myself, and learn some things..
This was his purpose...
Fate/Karma made sure I couldnt run.. Even though I tried, and did.. It was impossible!

Fate put us working together... If this was anyone else.. I would have cut all ties, and never gave it another thought.. But since I had no choice but to interact with him daily.. I HAD to face what I was feeling..

Its been a long hard journey.. But in the long run.. Ive learned so much about my self..
This is a case where a relationship never developed..
Believe it or not Im learning about unconditional love...
I adore this man to death.. Even though he rejected me... Thats ok... I accept that, and I he can be in my life in what ever way he is comfortable with...

well... until tomorrow when I freak out..lol

Thank you so much all for answering me :-) You are all very kind.

MertSerimer: That’s indeed a very pragmatic way of seeing things! ;-) We work hard for getting a better life later (be it the next one)

Virgo/Leo Cusp: Recurring patterns such as the one you describe (three persons involved) certainly show that something underground has to be faced. Thank you for your sharing.

Cooljen: I think we should follow the good advice of our friends and accept to live whatever we are ready to live (including running away if we feel it is better for us at that moment). It means not to put pressure on oneself as every situation, each response we make is exactly what we had to live. Whatever we choose (if we can) to do, we do our best.

sunshine9: your testimony is so interesting, thank you so much for sharing :-)
By the way, I see a difference between living a relationship that embodies a specific pattern we have to work on and meeting specific person we seem to have met before. We surely have to work on personal issues in both situations, but when you meet someone you think you already know, it is quite different I think. For the little story, after a few weeks I had met him, Vertex activated and I fell in love with him after I thought noticing he fell also in love with me. A door opened in my heart and I had memories that came up. Terrible memories where I could feel that our previous passionate relationship ended up in violence and death. I was so scared to see him as if I had seen a dead man or an impossible encounter. Then, I became obsessed by him, thinking of him night and day: I could not sleep and fell ill. I did not go to work for a while. We communicate non-verbally and have difficulties to have normal talks (Pluto-Mercury in eight house). I feel paralyzed, but my feelings (and I think his too) for him are so deep! But he has a girlfriend and he plans to go to live with her in a different country in a few months. Our professional contract ends up in one month. So I will not see him anymore. Time is running up and I don’t know what to do. Considering your advice, I should let him go as it is the natural way it seems to be. I should learn from this experience to let go. But for the moment, it is quite painful and I feel guilty not being able to talk properly to him and to match up to him. I feel miserable. But, on the other hand, if we had to live something deeper, then we would…

Astrologically speaking, my asteroid Juno (marriage) conjuncts his south node and my conjunction Mars-Neptune-Black moon conjuncts also his south node. His Venus-Mercury conjuncts my south node. This confirms we were lover and married in a past life, but it ended up in violence.

Lioness:

…And it is quite reassuring to tell oneself that such intense karmic encounter is well planned in advance, however hard it is to respond to the circumstances and obstacles we may face. And you know what? I bought the mythical tarot by Liz Greene (the famous astrologer) and Juliet Sharman-Burke. I like to draw cards to have a better insight on what I live, and the love process which is described throughout one of the series of cards is very clear. I feel I am entering the phase where Psyche is going to hell (the unconscious) to face trials Aphrodite put on her way and then, maybe, if she succeeds, she will meet again her lost lover: Eros, who has fled far away. I often draw cards of this series :-)

Which is why its karmic..

I think your the male?
You two have a 10 year or so age difference.
I think because of the composite you are married..

If Im correct.. (not sure that I am)
You have to choose what YOU want..

You have to ask yourself what path will make you the happiest.

What is it that you really want? Sometimes we have to dig deep inside and figure it out..
Maybe this person is apart of your future,maybe not..
Either way you have to figure out what will make you the happiest..

But regardless you have to think of other peoples feelings and the consciences of your action..
You can go after what you want, but do it the right way.. Be honest with everyone, including your self.

Bare with me because Im fairly new to astrology and am still in the learning stages.

So if you could be kind enough to let me know where I am right and wrong at..

I was looking more into this..

I think she would want a serious relationship with you, which includes marriage. She would probably be very vocal about it..
Either way she would want to live together..


You I think is married, OR will want alot of freedom, probably wouldnt be faithful.
but you feel like you owe her something, so you would prob stick around..
I think you have something to learn about yourself, and your self values..

Liones :

There is a deep love current between us. And believe me or not...we are two males! :-)

I am gay and out, he is straight with a girlfriend. He leaves our country in a few months time.

That’s why I said I did not know the purpose of this encounter as he is not supposed to be attracted by men, and besides, we have communication problems. So, I wondered why we had Vertex in conjunction with DC in the composite chart (Btw, I suppose it is the reason you thought we were married?) along with other strong aspects. Why would we have such rare interaspects?

Once, he told me I ask myself too many questions. I think he is right ;-)

Ok... So First is he interested in you at all?
Or is a case where he's experimenting, or having latent feelings?

But anyways... from what I said above and your confirmations, you are she and he is he.

No pun intended of course

I do not know, darling ;-)

I just know he has unexpected feelings for me and he feels sexually attracted to me. (I think it is because my AC falls in his eight house).

And I agree with you, in your description I am “she” and he is “he” (no pun intended) :-)

However, I am not “very vocal” about my love for him, as I am quite shy with him and also very respectful. I told him I had feelings for him and as I cannot hide anything, our gay-friendly co-workers know something is going on between us. But I am definitely not stalking him.

If hes attracted to you, then my guess would be he has some latent feelings..

I guess its time for him to figure out what he is.. Straight, gay,bi... Thats your purpose to him.. Maybe your bringing out his latent feelings.

But if you guys did get into a relationship... I dont think he would be faithful.

Thats when you would become vocal about a serious relationship and setting up a home together.. Either way you want a serious relationhip with him.. I dont think he's ready for that... At the most he may want to experiment to find out what he is...

Your not saying anything now,bc you dont know where you stand...


I was going to ask if you two were co-workers... lol

You are completely right. He is not ready for a gay relationship and I think he has quite a long way to go before figuring what he really wants. Pluto transits his Jupiter right now and Pluto will be opposed to his Sun and Venus, while Uranus will square his sun and Venus (2013-2014). Who knows what will come out of that? I may not be there when it happens.

Amazingly, a progressed New moon started a few weeks ago, opening a new thirty-year cycle for him. The progressed New moon will last about three and a half year (as usual), which embraces the strong Pluto and Uranus transits on his Jupiter, then Sun and Venus (2011-12-13-14). To understand the content of this new thirty-year cycle, we have to look at the meaning of the degree where the New moon sits.

6th Sabian degree in Leo reads: “a conservative, old-fashioned lady Is confronted by a "hippie" girl”

In the book, it says this degree shows it is time to live a cultural and social crisis to understand the relativity of social values…
It seems I play the role of the “hippie girl” to him and he is the old-fashioned lady :-)

But I will probably just (contribute to) initiate the cycle and I think, to my great despair, nothing will ever happen between us. In a different life time maybe...

Yes, I did not see that. Saturn will return at the end of the progressed New moon phase, so it will be a particularly important time for him.
