- Best friend FINALLY got engaged to her boyfriend of 5 years last week (good or bad?)
- Ex-boyfriend reached out to tell me he and his girlfriend have broken up (thanks for sharing?)
- My boyfriend randomly reunited with a good male friend he hasn't seen in over 5 years on the weekend

As for myself, I've had a lot of ups and downs in my relationship lately and have taken a lot into consideration, yet I feel like with every hurdle we're stronger, so it seems we're surviving!

I start a new job today! In a few minutes actually. I'm not sure if this is positive or negative, but I was officially hired BEFORE venus retrograde, but I'm just now actually starting. (Good or Bad?)

I lost the last of my set of childhood friends the very day Venus turned retrograde so I guess it's time to start fresh in the friendship department. I guess I'm getting older.

Feelings for my first love came creeping back during the shadow period and the BAM! I contact him a couple of days before the Transit only to be disappointed once again and having an emotional, hysterical breakdown.
(Transit Karma was in opposition to my Moon EXACT during this time also)

I am moving back to an old house I moved out of right before Saturn entered Scorpio. (Unfinished business?)

I actually posted a topic in Personal Readings about it. Long story short, we met online, hit it off and last week he cooled off, but still wants to pursue it, I guess. He's a Gemini...so, this wasn't so much of a shock. I thought I came so close, but not quite, I suppose.

Sincere thanks to Ami Anne, for encouraging me to live healthier, and thank you Leeloo, Amelia, Indigo, Chiemi and other astrologers who helped me out big time in the Interpersonal Astrology posts.
You guys gave me the right advice (4th house stellium synastry/composite may sometimes make a karmic relationship look like a soul-mate relationship xD), but I ended up not listening :'(
A year of my love life wasted~~ but still a fair learning experience xD
well.. now that I think of it was meant to be xD

Oh my Lord, me too!

It's been a long time since I listened to Nickelback, Avril Lavigne, Blink 182, Sum 41, Kelly Clarkson, Good Charlotte ... Yet, I find myself listening to music from when I was 13-16.

This retrograde threw me back to music habits I had a decade ago. It's good though. I was far more in touch with my feelings back then because I used to listen to music which would allow me to relate or daydream.

I usually listen to "happy" music that have no real meaning and which are only supposed to make you dance and upbeat. This time around, I had to channel my inner teenager! I feel like I'm 15 all over again, it's great ha. I can't wait to return to my 24 year old self once this retrograde is over though!

It's also not a coincidence that I bumped into my best friend from high school. We were so tight at 15! She hasn't changed much since she still lives in her small hometown. I became a totally different person. It sort of allowed me to feel grounded again.

I've also checked a bunch of my HS friends/crushes on Facebook but I won't add them. I want to know what they're up to. Some got married, some are nowhere, some are living your typical middle-class life. Most of them are in a relationship though! I'm the only one who seems to be eternally single, good times

I met a new guy when Venus went backwards, but I lost interest all together pretty much out of the blue! Weird.

I feel like crap about my looks and weight
I see my depression coming like a tidal wave
I feel so isolated and alone. I'm listless and discouraged

Also I handed in my resignation letter to my boss, but my director had a meeting with me to tell me that he really doesn't want me to go...bizarre situation but its nice to know that they like me that much

During this retrograded I have finally realized what I really want to do, which will require going back to school again lol and starting from the beginning with my career

It's like tVenus has forced me to look at myself(retrograde) and take responsibility(Saturn) for my moon which is acting out in an unloving way.

I feel like such a weight is lifted, like something that's been holding me back now I have a better idea of what to do to overcome it. I see what I'm doing and how it's not supporting to my goals or life path, it's destructive to me because I'm ruled by love(Venus chart ruler) and these behaviors are not loving to anyone.
I also see the guys I've allowed into my life have been mirroring what I was feeling inside and acting out unconsciously. They were hurting me and holding me back through those behaviors.

Now I know what direction I need to grow and how to help myself overcome my own self. Yeah!!
One more issue down, only a thousand more that still need to be seen! Lol
