I know this is a strange and maybe difficult question to answer... but who would you say is more important in your life... your close friends - your close family members - or - your romantic partner? OR - Do you feel like they are more or less in the same basket... like you care about all of them in different ways and none of these people are more or less important? Please post your Moon/Venus signs and houses. --- 'Tseems... a lot of magazine articles assume that everyone puts their romantic partner first. I'm just trying to check.. because it does not apply to me.. So I wanted to see how others felt about this. IP: Logged |

I have an extra question for the boys... Another media 'rumour' out there.. seems to be that apparently hetero men would feed their best-friend to the wolves for a night of awesome sex.. with the 'perfect' girl..I'd like to know - from the male-knowflakeys - Do you really feel like you care THAT much about romantic relationships - that you would throw out a perfectly good friendship in the name of love, if you had to? Having Venus in the 11th I cannot imagine doing this. But I am curious about the guys... and also your placements. IP: Logged |

BB~I would have to disqualify myself, I have no family members I truly care about. I have obligations or- duty if you prefer. Then again, I am not married. Nor do I currently have children. When I am in *they* usually eclipse all other thoughts. However I would never kick a good friend to the curb for my love interest. Moon Pisces 7H Venus Taurus 9H The question for the gentlemen sounds 'Maxim magazine', I would say that the first part sounds more true, the second is phrased around love not sex. I would be interested in the answers, with that distinction too..... IP: Logged |

I married my best friend, with whom I share the best sex, and I come from a birth family of bums to whom I have zero allegiance, so I wouldn't be able to answer your question IP: Logged |

for me the partner is the most important and keeping it close is a priority....scoring 1stfamily-not very strongly connected... either conflict or complete apathy.... scoring 3rd friends-friends tend to be good but not very important as they come and go in my life and i had my share of traumas with close friends.... scoring 2nd moon in leo in 7th venus in scorpio in 9th

I feel a pull toward making the most of my social contacts with everybody: friends, family, my husband, strangers. My biggest priority is my family, though.

Compared to my wife, I would sell my birth family on Ebay and ship them COD, with a frequent buyer discount. Nobody matters to me but my wife. I DGAF about anyone else. Blood? I'll pour it down the toilet bowl and flush. IP: Logged |

Family doesn't matter to me.Friends come and go (but atleast I do care about the close ones) I believe that if we were close friends and stuff, we would maintain communication regardless. Lovers come and go too. At this point I think the most important would be my friends!!! Sun in Libra 12th H Moon in Libra 11th H Venus in Scorpio 1st H IP: Logged |

How can you assess JUST signs and house without looking at ASPECTS.... you will never have a proper picture. What are you using the collected data for exactly please? for fun or some serious study?

Re: my Venus in 3rd - that's the House of siblings, and I have peaceful relationships (Venus = peace, relationship) with both my sisters (Venus, female siblings). In terms of primal instincts, they are my biological insurance. Same genetic mix. Younger, therefore higher fertility. So they're given priority. I'd sacrifice my life for them (Neptune in 3rd) if it ever comes down to that. Friends....they're a source of entertainment. Until they start breeding, then I pull a disappearing act before they get a chance to hint about free babysitting. I'm not wasting my resources on perpetuating THEIR individual DNA. quote: Originally posted by YoursTrulyAlways: Compared to my wife, I would sell my birth family on Ebay and ship them COD, with a frequent buyer discount.

LOL! "Love and hate are two sides of the same coin"... and Capricorn is at one end of the polarity belonging to family.

Sun - Scorpio - 8th Moon - Gemini - 3rd Venus - Capricorn - 10thFamily...I have a large family, but the only person I am truly close to is my mom (and my maternal grandparents when they were still alive). There is a sense of obligation in the back of my mind because she sacrificed a lot for me, but I also believe that's how a mother ideally should be. She is and always will be a person I know who, without a doubt, will never betray me. Trust and loyalty is very important to the both of us, but we've both established that there are some things we don't and don't need to know about each other. Partners...I've only been in two relationships in my 22 year life, both relatively short. They knew me on a different level, as expected. Right now, I don't see myself finding that unconditional, all-consuming love, but I still hold on to that hope because I know it exists. I've seen it with my grandparents. Friends...come and go. Like what another member said, they're more for passing time. They think they know more about me than they actually do. But I've realized that it's better to have friends than to have enemies.

Honestly, I think all three are very equally important, but I guess if I had to rate them...1. Friends- I make and keep GOOD friends. Friends who have shown me that they have my back. I can rely on them for pretty much anything, AND vice versa. I have my share of acquaintances of course, but my core group of friends are the ones I rely on (which is good because I live out of state away from my immediate family). To be honest, I feel like I learn a lot more from my friends than I do from my family, which is part of why friends gets the number one spot for me. 2. Family- I lucked out and got a great family that also always has my back (for the most part). I love them, but I've never been super close to any of them. They are a great support system. 3. Partner- The ONLY reason this made number 3 is because I have had my share of bad partners, and unfortunately, until I meet a guy who will be truly loyal and there for me when I need him, I'm not moving this out of number 3. I've had a lot better friends than I have romantic partners, sadly. I know that will eventually change though. Aries Moon in the 5th Virgo Venus in the 9th IP: Logged |

Moon in Sagittarius - 3rd house Venus in Taurus - 9th houseLover would come in at first. Like Node, when attached they eclipse all else. Friends will take 2nd place. Family rounds out at 3rd. If a lover/partner asks me to choose between them and a friend, I will instantly choose friend above a partner. IP: Logged |

The difference is that I've settled for good, and my "family" is the one I have chosen and built by personal choice, not the one that I was involuntarily born into. The family that I have has two girls, two boys and my wife. They are what I live for, and whom I will die for. These are the only people who would come to my aid. If I have to go to hell, they would sacrifice to join me. I marry once and once only. I neither believe in past lives or future mortal lives, so this is the only marriage I will ever have. I'll never marry again. The rest - as in everyone else - can go F themselves. IP: Logged |

1st is family.2nd is friends. 3rd is partners. (With the exception of one man. An ex of mines was of equal importance to my family.) That's the usual way I'd order it though.

That ^ for me is ideal. I always valued my (true) friends as my real family (what is the value of blood relations when your so called family are a bunch of f*ckwits?) and I expect any boy who is close to me to be my best friend and family. IP: Logged |

The difference is that most of you ladies are not married, or do not have children.Your priorities will change immediately after you have you first child. Tell me that you would value your parents more than your own child? This to me is the priority: God, then married family, then birth family (whatever f@cXhe4d nitwits wanna be nice to me), then friends (if any). IP: Logged |
