1. Describe your romantic life! Would you say you are happy or unhappy overall, in your love-life? 2. Do you usually like members of the opposite sex, whether romantically or otherwise (as friends)? Would you ever be caught complaining and saying something along the lines of “Most men are…. insert negative adjective” … or “Most women are… insert negative adjective”. Please post your Mercury sign… house… and aspects --- And also which houses have Gemini and Virgo on the cusp! -------- 3. Think of your worst relationship/s – Tell me what Mercury aspects you have! (and don't neglect to mention if one person's Mercury happens to be un-aspected). 4. Also - Think of your best relationship/s - and post Mercury stuff for those. I have another theory (as I do…lol). I want to see if it works, so I’ll tally up responses and let you know

Ok, let's do this!  1. I am overall really happy about my love-life. I've been in a serious relationship since 2004 and everything's fine. 2. I like men in any relationship. I get along very well with them as long as they have an interesting conversation. But I must say that I was raised with boys (2 brothers and 3 cousins) maybe it counts as well. I have mercury in libra in 10th house sextile moon and uranus, square north node. My 7th house is in gemini and my 10th house in virgo. 3. Worst relationships: the first : We can't stand each other (those are the only mercury aspects) - Her Mars conjunct my mercury 0°39 - Her Mercury sesqui-quadrate my venus 0°5 the second : We were friends first then the horror! - His mercury sextile my jupiter 0°53 - My mercury square his venus 0°37 4. Best relationships : The first : My boyfriend - My mercury is in his 11th semi-sextile his uranus 0°3 - His mercury is in my 5th quincunx my moon 0°39 The second : A long time friend to whom I tell everything - My mercury is in her 12th unaspected - Her mercury is in my 7th quincunx my uranus 0°26 The third : My closest friend - My mercury exactly conjunct her IC - Her mercury is in my 5th bi-quintile my moon 0°28 IP: Logged |

Rightio!I am about half and half in my romantic life. I pootle along quite happily, but when more than a few little things start niggling me, I can get quite grumpy and frustrated. I really prefer members of the opposite sex sometimes. I like that a lot of men speak their minds, whilst a few women I know just beat about the bush too much! The only time I'll bemoan men in general is when those little things start niggling me again! My mercury is in Libra, 28 in 9th house, square Jupiter, oposite chiron, conjunct MC, and sextile AC. House 6 in gemini, and 8th house in virgo.  I can't really comment on past relationships, as I never took note of anything like that (and have only been learning astrology for a few months), but my current partner who I've been with for over 10 years, is my saviour and nemesis in one  Mercury aspects - trine moon, square mercury, opposite mars.

Oh wow That is tight...Ok well -- You are in a 'middle' area.. in terms of my theory. Technically you should neither be ecstatic, nor unhappy... More like snarly - "half and half".
quote: My love life sux... lolMost men are "aholes" and use women...
Does it go on and off.. like sometimes it might be really good... other times not so good etc... Are you sure it *sux* - Could you be on the fence at all? Could it be - not good, nor bad.. just "ok" overall? (I'm totally milking this ^ heheheh)

Well truth be told.. It really sux... but I sort of enjoy it... But I wish I didnt.. I wish I could be more stable in relationships... BUT then again I was married for 10 years... and I hated it... I was miserable.. I had no fun at all.. I became very "saturn" My Uranus is in H7.. My ex husbands Saturn was in my 1st.. Maybe why I became so "saturn" IP: Logged |

To be fair, men use the women that want to be used. Women aren't dumb. So I think that the male and female both use each other in that respect.

1)Neutral, I can be in a relationship just fine, I'm happy alone too. Sometimes I feel overburdened by a partner being too clingy or being jealous or wanting to spend too much time with me. Right now I'm with someone who expects me to say I love you all the time and I won't cos I said it once, and I act it, so he should know it. I break up with men when I feel I am no longer being heard in the conversation and they're not meeting me half way when there are probs. I have no probs ending relationships in a flash and not looking back cos I always know there will be someone around the corner, but I don't care if I don't find anyone the very next second that I like talking to, cos that usually takes a long time to find.2)I think most men are unattractive physically and that they don't understand the way I communicate and want to be talked to (which is fine, I don't want to be compatible with everyone). Most men also do not know how to leave a woman alone who is uninterested in them, they just keep going on and on and cannot read any kind of body language or verbal signal, even if I make it clear, I then look at them and they are still there. Most men are also obviously stubborn. I would like to have male friends, except that they want sex w/me as well as friendship. So the only male friends I have are basically men that I have to fend off every so often. I do have one male friend who's not like that and he's gay. He's super easy to be around and there's no weird sexual tension. I don't like flirting with friends I want them to view me as an equal. Also the man I'm with he has to view me as an equal otherwise I can't be interested. Oh and I think Most Women put too much importance on their appearance and if it's not up to snuff they feel bad about themselves. I think that is straight b.s. There is literally someone for everyone, everyone has their own quirks and there is someone who will like that quirk. It doesn't matter if every guy you want doesn't want you, who cares, why would you want them, you don't want everyone you want the one that's right for YOU. You want THAT MAN to DESIRE YOU. Most women also practically live to be desired, and they should be, but it has to be by the right person. If I were a man I would have zero problems making women feel that way, it is too easy. Omg, I'd prob be some lothario, lol. Aquarius Mercury, 7th, sextile Uranus, square Jupiter, conj Dsc . . . Interested to hear from Capricorn Mercuries! IP: Logged |

True... But being "dumb" has nothing to do with be lied to. I said this because the question was asked whats a negative way you see the opposite sex.. I have ALOT of male friends that confide in me and tell me what they are really doing.. Its been shocking... This is a big part of the reason I feel this way.. IP: Logged |

1. Its non-existent. Sometimes I feel like it absolutely sucks, other days I'd rather take fantasy over the real thing. Then I have to remember I'm super busy atm...not much time for a life anyways. =__= 2. I do like men, in both romantic and platonic settings. Most prejudices I have against men tend to be tied to the way I look. I always here my 'inner voice' saying to me if I were this many pounds lighter, this much taller, etc.,etc., they would probably give me the time of day. Also that they're all shallow and want a model or a sl*t. I've lived in citylife before so I've met many people from different backgrounds so I probably shouldn't say that, but I still do. And I'm still ever so hopeful and optimistic that I'll be wrong someday. =__=
Can't say I've had a best or worst relationship. I've had one that went dramatically sour in only a way that would happen between water suns, and 2 pseudo-relationships. Mercury is in Cancer/6th house -Opposite Neptune -Sextile Moon (mutual reception) -Trine Pluto -Square Mars (its wide, and I'm only beginning to recognize this aspect because I seem to have alot in common with two others that have it).
Gemini is on the 6th house cusp, Virgo is on the 9th house Cusp. And I have a mercurial moon and venus. IP: Logged |

I want to see if it works, so I’ll tally up responses and let you know 
1) My love life is a bit complicated to say the least. Been married for waaaaay too long to the wrong person. Love a Scorpio since I was a kid. Neither situation has anything to do with the other. Scorpio woman is married to wrong person to (her words). 2) I have one female who I consider a friend but I think she's very pretty and would make a cool a$$ mate so I guess at the end of the day I don't really feel men and women can be friends 95% of the time because one or the other probably likes the other. 2a) I'm a guy. I like to keep it simple. Most men don't badmouth other men. That's breaking man law. Its just not a natural thing for us guys to dedicate much thought into another dude unless he is directly affecting our life in some way (boss, friend, coworker, father, etc). So no, I don't complain about other dudes. 3) My worst relationship is the one I'm in. My Mercury is at 25° Gemini conjunct my Sun. Her Mercury is at 9° Aries. My Sun and Mercury square her Virgo Moon. Her own Mercury sextiles her Aqua Venus by 5°. 4) My best relationship, err well, been married since I was 24 and dated her prior for years so I haven't been in a good relationship yet. However when we split up for a while, I had a female friend I was interested in who's Mercury exactly trine my Mercury. Conversation was always awesome. Mental rapport was unbelievablely great. Rest of the synastry was quite weak though. Only other big aspect was her sun on my nn exact. ------------------ Gemini Sun Libra Moon Gemini Mercury Cancer Venus Virgo Mars Virgo Asc And yes, I'm a guy! IP: Logged |

Well... I'm always in a relationship or at least have some guy in my life. The last time my life was devoid of romantic interests was when I was 15/16. When I'm single, it's only for at most, 3 months at a time. In those 3 months I'm very promiscuous. Most of my relationships last more than a year. I do get bored, though. I think that I'm missing out on something. But, I'm miserable single. It sucks (this part is perfectly described by my Venus square Uranus and Saturn). quote: 2. Do you usually like members of the opposite sex, whether romantically or otherwise (as friends)?
Yes. I find it easier to make friends with guys more than girls. Girls intimidate me. I'm not as nervous around guys. I feel like I have to really impress a girl in order for me to get to know them. =/ I wish it were easier to make friends with girls. quote: Would you ever be caught complaining and saying something along the lines of “Most men are…. insert negative adjective” … or “Most women are… insert negative adjective”.
No, I"m a feminist. quote: Please post your Mercury sign… house… and aspects --- And also which houses have Gemini and Virgo on the cusp!
Mercury retrograde in Aquarius in my 9th. Conjunct Sun, trine Moon and Chiron/ASC (grand trine), sextile Mars, Jupiter, Saturn/Uranus. Semisquare Neptune. quote: 3. Think of your worst relationship/s – Tell me what Mercury aspects you have! (and don't neglect to mention if one person's Mercury happens to be un-aspected).
THE WORST we had Mercury conjunct Mercury lol. It was bad because all of his arguments were riddled with logical fallacies lol yet I could see what he was trying to do, but I couldn't really say "LISTEN, I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GETTING AT, WE HAVE THE SAME MERCURIES" in the middle of a political debate. Aquarius is a notoriously argumentative sign for Mercury to be in anyway. My Mercury also opposed his Moon. The best relationship I think was either my current one or my first long term one. Current Mercury aspects: His Mercury opposite my Neptune, Saturn & Uranus. My Mercury trine his Jupiter and conjunct his NN. First Long term: My Mercury trine his Venus His Mercury square my Moon and Jupiter. IP: Logged |

1. Love life is non-existent, and I'm not happy about it. 2. I tend to have more girlfriends than guy friends (I'm gay) but don't usually have any generalized negative feelings for men or women as a whole. Mercury in Cancer in 7th house, sextile Venus and Trine Saturn Gemini 7th house cusp, Virgo 9th house cusp. 3/4. I only really have one relationship that I can draw from. It was a mess. My mercury trined his Moon and his mercury opposed my saturn. IP: Logged |

1. Hovering between either non-existent or always picking the wrong guys in terms of a) men who don't want to stick around and generally just use me, and b) men who do want to stick around but are insanely jealousLoads of short romances and the only ones who do spring out were the insanely jealous ones. 2. Yes on both accounts. My best friends are male, I always find myself intellectually more attracted to men and even though I do have some valued female friends, it does appear that percentage-wise, I seem to have more male friends than female friends. I do often find myself saying "sheesh, why are most me [insert neg. adjective here]" but it's more often to get a rise out of men rather than actually stating something I believe, and to take the mickey out of already established male prejudices. One might argue that that is my Eris's fault  Mercury --- Sagittarius, 1st house --- conjunct Asc, conjunct Uranus, opposite Moon, opposite Dsc, opposite Chiron 7th house - Gemini cusp 10th house - Virgo cusp
3. Worst relationships... Hmm, depends on how you would view "worst". Worst experiences or worst feeling getting over? The worst experiences were no doubt both partners I had who were insanely jealous, because I can't even begin to describe in which ways this exerted itself.
Number 1 had Sun and Uranus conjunct my Mercury, and Mars sextile it. His own Mercury was conjunct my Venus/Neptune. Number 2 had Neptune conjunct my Mercury/Uranus and that's about it. Worst feeling saw men with Sun/Mercury trine my Mercury/Uranus (Leo sun, Libra moon - could also be Scorpio moon but I'm guessing Libra), Neptune conjunct my Mercury/Uranus (and their Mercury conjunct my Venus/Neptune... argh, déjà-vu! and their Moon square my Mercury/Uranus - That's the most recent one, did have a short spell of seriously suffering from it, but it's over now - Sagittarius sun and Virgo moon, of course) and another Uranus conjunct my Mercury/Uranus and their Mercury sextile my Mercury and their sun square my Mercury/Uranus (Virgo sun and for all intents and purposes Aquarius moon - could be Capricorn moon but again I'm guessing Aquarius). Interestingly, the man I've never really been able to get over, has never been a bad experience to me  Which brings me to: 4. My best experience (yet sadly enough a past experience) has his Sun/Mercury conjunct my Mercury/Uranus and Asc. Of course that means he also has his Mercury opposing my Moon but that's only a minor detail... My Mercury seems to only have minor aspects, so I'm not going into that. ------------------ [Insert catchy signature here.] IP: Logged |
