and it's all because of Uranus in Taurus! Thank god haha, as a Pisces dom romcoms have always been a delight for me! When Uranus was in Pisces I remember how heavy and prominent the romcoms were. I would just sit down for hours watching them with my mom when she came home from work. But then Uranus went into Aries and we saw Hollywood start to transition into those horrid "one night stand and a frat party going booze crazy, everybody kills everyone in a big apocalyptic brawl full of screaming and shooting and the world is gonna end"-esque movies. The romcom died for a little while because of the snoozer Aries put on Uranus but it will not go away for a while, since Uranus has several more love-struck signs to go through before making its way back to aggressive Aries.

Maybe when Neptune goes into Aries, though, there will be a bit of a snoozer at times but I have seen Uranus has the most effect on what types of movies get played out in Hollywood, whereas Neptune tends to effect the famous people behind those movies (directors, producers, actors, actresses, musicians, famous people in general)

I was noticing this too! Had some similar thoughts and was also thinking Uranus...very happy to see this as I'm also Pisces dominant Netflix has some cute new ones: The Kissing Booth, Set it Up, etc

Oh, and the biggest venture by Tosca Musk is Passionflix. They develop romance novels into movies, a subscription service only romantic movies. Very exciting stuff. Love Taurus energy

Hmmm...I'd have thought people here would associate rom-coms with Scorpio. So many of them are filled with obsession, stalking, creepy behavior that would get many real life men and women a restraining order if they were to try it, or even prison time (examples here that include male and female characters who'd be facing prison time if they did it in real life, and not only includes stalking behavior by men--though it leaves out far more disturbing scenes I can think of--but even a woman who gets a man to fall in love with her by tying him up and raping him in Wedding Crashers and considered a fun scene in 40 days and 40 Nights).

Not to mention that they so often include breakups with someone else as an element to a happy life (rebirth), even leaving a wedding with someone for someone else, and I'd think only a Scorpio could find that romantic (though there is the fixed nature and loyalty thing to conflict the rebirth by death/destruction thing, but then Taurus is also a fixed sign, and unlike Scorpio, isn't into rebirth so I wouldn't associate that with Taurus energy at all, though MAYBE Taurus Uranus). I wonder if the diarrhea scene I heard of in one movie doesn't sound a bit Scorpio given the taboo nature of it.

Granted, I wouldn't advise anyone to do some of the things in a rom-com to a Scorpio (like the male love interest who yanks the woman into the pool when she's fully dressed, probably has electronics on her, and in the movie it's seen as romantic, but holy crap my Scorpio mother would crucify you--perhaps literally if she could get away with it--for that even if she thought you were cute).

Just saying. If someone wants to explain rom-coms in astrological terms, especially how they relate to Taurus, then I'm ready to take in that perspective.

Pixie, I see where you're coming from, but I think you're looking at specific scorpio/pluto infused rom-coms. To me, Venus=love, what we love, beauty, romance. Taurus and Libra are romantic signs by nature. Sure, you can add Scorpio to a romance, then maybe you would have a 50 shades of Grey Venus/Pluto type of movie, but in its essence, the surface value of the rom-com is purely Venus...at least to me anyway.

Ohh yess I was watching Set It Up when I made this thread! What a beautiful and funny movie! I really missed Rom Coms so much, my Piscean soul was craving it; I'm getting so tired of watching old romcoms, I need MOOOORE!

Yeah, most romance nowadays is a joke, and an insult to love and relationships. Also gives a lot of really unhealthy expectations, especially when idealized.

Oh gosh I hope not. So few actors/actresses have enough charm nowadays to pull it off.

I see more "super hero" movies on circuit lately. Not much substance in those either besides stuff exploding, people flying and car chases.

I've noticed this, too.

They either know how to be raunchy or retarded. I also think part of it is because celebs are so jaded. It's the whole culture that ruins them.

So true. So many actors and actresses these days are pulled up from social media or nepotism and so they just don't have the natural charm and grace of many older actors and actresses. So many older actors worked their way up and learned to be humble and graceful and charming in their acting but nowadays literally anyone can half-ass a script and get paid thousands for it. I put this fault on Uranus in Aries lol. Uranus in Aries is also to blame for the ridiculous amount of superhero movies and movies where stuff just gets blown up for the majority of the movie. It's too much for me!

But you should definitely watch the movie Set It Up on netflix. It is being heralded as bringing back the romcom and I agree! The actors in it surprisingly had that cute charm that makes a romcom GREAT! I looked them up and their names are Zoey Deutch and Glen Powell. Zoey is Scorpio sun/Aqua Moon and Glen is Libra sun/Pisces moon. Perfect combos for a romcom and it sure showed in their acting! Such a nice movie.

^^^thought I was the only one. My friends are indifferent and don't know what I am talking about when I try to explain this to them.

Only one friend (Sag Asc, Cap Sun, Aqua Moon) gets it when I say that most movies are so strongly commercialised that the script is an afterthought.

They (execs) hope car explosions, naked women and lots of people getting killed for illogical reasons, is enough to get our pulse racing.

I really hated "The purge". I thought the concept demonic.

I didn't appreciate "Fast and Furious". Its overkill now.

I cringed my way through the Thor movies. Poor Chris Hemsworth has to always take his shirt off to save the plot.

I will look out for the Zoe film. I like irreverent actors. They are a breath of fresh air.

the unconscious does not discriminate if information is given as comedy or as a order. these rom-comm are to shape unhealthy values... i advice to not watch them if you do not want to start seing as NORMAL many of the sick behaviour there. that is my humble opinion
