I also don't think it's unusual to have not been kissed by 18 years old. I didn't get my first kiss until I was 19 and that was only because some drunk leaned over and kissed me (yuck!).

Age aside however, you have your North Node in your 7th House. Your lesson in this incarnation is to work on your one-to-one relationships, with marriage being the ultimate challenge. 7th House North Node people are very independent. You are born knowing how to go it alone and be fine with it. So....I think the reason for your not being in a relationship yet is because you are fine being independent. But, cooperation with a partner will lead to the evolution of your soul in this lifetime, because that is unfamiliar territory. Your vertex is in Libra, so you WILL draw in opportunities to work on relationships.

You should get out there - go to places you like - do things you enjoy... where you can meet like-minded people.

Some people are late bloomers and I really wouldn't put much stock into astrology and depending on the stars when love will arrive in your life. The time will come and then you get to experience the adventure of being in a relationship.

The words that repulsed me the most when I was 18 was "Oh you have your life ahead of you, concentate on your life and don't be so worried about being in a relationship." However, how extremely repulsing it was to hear and it really nagered me so - the person actually knew what they were talking about. I was too blind and believed a relationship was the be all and end all for me.

I'm surprise with Jupiter in the 5th, you don't have a line of suitors knocking on your door. Maybe with Saturn con Moon in Pisces, you might not feel emotionally esteemed to become like Sadie Hawkins and ask guys out for a coffee. If you want to be in a relationship bad enough, one must pursue it. (I have seen my friends do this and poo poo being single).

You seem 'picky' romantically - so you probably won't go for just anyone.. with that Leonine Mars trine Aries Venus.
You need a larger pool of men to choose from - so you have to meet more people basically, to find the right one.

I am really surprised to hear you have never been kissed with Aries in cusp 5th you are suppose to be aggressive in romance and like to have fun. The cusp where aries is at is the house were you tend to start over a lot and it means that part of your life you tend to put FIRST. Maybe the cancer in venus trine moon in pisces makes you really shy but I would think that the Mars in Leo and 5 cusp aries would make you put yourself out there and make you pursue what you want romantically as I am.

There's a bit of a correction factor with my chart. I don't have my exact time of birth, its actually off by fourty minutes or so, but my mother has told me my house placement. I have moon in pisces on the cusp of fifth and jupiter in aries on sixth. Does that change things up?

Aries Venus & Leo Mars are both very idealistic placements - everything has to be perfect and feel exciting/interesting - more like a movie script than real life.
A person with these placements would need a high level of emotional intensity in a lover.
Not everyone is intense enough for them ^

Betty Boop - I actually just started college in a great city, so I really am optimistic about things changing for me, romantically speaking. Pickiness is the most probable culprit for my inexperience; I just could never find anyone to really share myself with. I really am idealistic about love as you suggest! Thanks for that

Have a look at the lilith corridor thread. I think there is something to be said about this and scaring men off.

I just find it amazing to look at the charts of others who it isn't as obvious as me to tell why they aren't in relationship.

Earthbound- Follow your NN in Aries not your moon in Pisces. Aries initiates, so you should ask, not him.

I haven't ever had a relationship either and I'm 21, my first kiss was when I was 20 and I kissed him (mainly because I didn't want my first kiss with some gross aussie guy)
My chart is here: http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum24/HTML/208155.html

H5 energy is appropriate for this thread, as it signifies the start of romances, general relating patterns before commitment.
Earthbound you have Virgo on H5 cusp which can be a picky sign, and it's ruler Mercury is conj Sun and Asc so your romantic energy may have been funneled into self-expression, making sure you were heard by others in general and that you were seen as a person of serious substance, you were prob preoccupied with plodding towards a practical goal. Mercury is in the 12th technically which can add a secretive element to romantic house 5 matters, maybe you held the torch silently for a few people but for whatever reason didn't feel comfy coming right out and saying it and getting the ball rolling there. Sun/Mercury is opp Pluto and sq Saturn which can in itself thwart self expression but you still try v.hard to get your ideas out there. Your father is implicated here, maybe he had a close eye on you and you didn't want to disappoint him or he didn't want you dating just anyone, I'm not sure, but there could be some inhibition on your part thanks to his influence and it would directly affect your romantic life. You have ruler of h4 opp ruler of h7 across asc/dsc so maybe there was marital tension between your parents and that led you to see relationships as unequal and doomed on some level. There are a few possible interpretations there. There's a danger of attracting partners who might steamroll right over you or you doing same to them. With Scorp Pluto in the 7th it's prob not an area you see as frivolous.

Lonake, your interpretation is quite spot on. I know that I am young but I feel that my life thus far has been invested in succeeding academically, probably due to the Mercury conjunction. Now that I'm in college, I feel like it's time to really focus on things of a more personal substance, like romance and friends. My need for academic success does stem out of my need for approval, particularly that of my father. I am also the youngest in my family, so there's always been a tone of sentimentality as far as my personal life is concerned; I'm the "baby" so it can be disconcerting to my family when I act like an adult. I can only imagine how sensitive my father will be when, or if, I do find a romantic partner! Needless to say, I am inhibited. As far as my parents' marriage is concerned, it definitely was very volatile growing up with an emphasis on money issues. I think that it's caused me to want a marriage different from theirs, stable and financially secure (I am a taurus ). With Mercury and Venus interpreted in the 12th, the types I've always been attracted to are musicians and intellectuals. The one person in my life that I was intensely infatuated with was in fact a teacher of mine! Naturally, I couldn't really act on that... I guess also that I am concerned about the emphasis of Pluto in my chart. It seems quite intimidating! I am a bit worried about the types I may attract and how the plutonian influence will play out in any future relationships I may have. Any thoughts?

You've got a heavy eighth house! So do I. Any who that makes you extra choosy when it comes to people and relationships. You've got a highly attuned radar even if consciously it might not seem that way. You can cut through and see people and that makes it hard for you to just get down with anybody. I'm the say way. I had my first kiss at 18 like many others. I didn't feel a connection with anyone in my high school so it happened right after I got to college. I actually wasn't interested in relationships at all in high school.
