I understand the latter part. The male body (speaking just the body, not the Soul or whole person), is somewhat wired and programmed that way. Nature doesn't have or do "ethics" in the human sense of the term, but only cares about passing on positive genetic traits etc.

Souls that are connected to male bodies, if they are not immature Souls, will consciously redirect those body and/or ego based urges and feelings because they don't want to hurt their partner.

But understand that physically, hormonally, something like 7 out of 10 straight or bi guys (with normal levels of testosterone, not super depressed, etc) will be at least looking at other women to some extent whether you catch them or they admit it or not. Again, that is just how the male body is wired. And as mentioned, the decent ones, more in touch with their Soul, won't go farther than that though.

However, it's kind of crazy how many men AND women cheat, statistically, in relationships. I find it kind of amusing when people look down on, or are judgy, of those in open relationships, when such people are trying to avoid the whole "hurting your partner" part of things, and so many non open people end up cheating or contributing to another person cheating, at some point.

Boggles my mind the hypocrisy and inconsistency of it all, but then again, my non human friends did warn me before my first incarnation here hundreds of thousands of years ago, "humans are NOT logical nor particularly conscious beings." I think I said something like, "Yeah I know, but somebody's gotta go in there and help clean up that mess." (I had Pisces and Virgo axis strong even back then). Famous last words, before I spilled some milk...

Lol yeah.

BTW just felt like commenting... I think your style communication changed. I noticed it in other threads as well, like more compassionate lately? Not sure if compassionate is the right word, I guess being in tune with other people's take on subjects, acknowledging it I guess is a better description. Lol not calling you out on it just interesting. I mean 👍 cool in a good way.

I'll have to agree with you unfortunately lol. I'm to blame for it too, when I was still married I did end up cheating on my husband at the time. So I try to be understanding, and generally I do understand when guys do it. I guess I really shouldn't have made a statement about guys in general cuz it's true women aren't any better. I'm trying to find a logical answer to defend myself lol but I don't think I can find one 😂.

And BTW not judgy about open relationships, that's a mutual agreement there's nothing wrong if both agree to something. Was referring to cheating specifically, which definitely both genders can be blamed.

has it? guess i've grown up a bit i'm also not high and drunk all the time so that probably helps

i was barely ever sober when i first joined here now i'm nearly always sober 🤷‍♀️ been through plenty of **** too had a bunch of experiences

time to reflect, be human

it's interesting to hear that from someone i haven't really paid much attention, i mean i know i've changed quite a bit i don't feel much like the person i was in a lot of ways but it's not something i think about showing up in a noticeable way to another person

suppose that makes sense that it'd work like that though huh? 😁

I do think guys do do it more, and I was explaining that it was because it's a strong body urge in the male body. Female bodies are wired more cautiously and security oriented. Speaking only in generals and averages though.

Bodies are one thing, Souls another.

It is pretty interesting. I wonder if it's all those planets (Saturn Pluto Jupiter) conjuncting now (in your fourth?). I guess that would explain things.

But good to hear, hope you're doing ok.

And yeah it's definitely obvious no question.

Oh, I know you weren't being like that. I was just speaking generally, and comparing and contrasting different choices, intentions, etc. We have received a fair amount of raised eyebrows and the like when we talk openly about this. Women tend to be the most judgy about it. I think because it's triggering to the shadow and to insecurity.

Anyways, sounds like you made a healthy choice here. A percentage of guys need definite boundaries and to be told things directly and clearly. Most of us don't do the whole mind reading thing that y'all wish we would do.

True, thanks for bringing light to this though guess I should look at it differently next time.

Loll 😆 true. Actually it's funny you're mentioning it, that was actually the first thing he responded. That he 'really is happy that I'm honest and open about it'. I do have to say though that it's extremely difficult for me to be verbally upfront, it takes a huge amount of courage lol (blaming my Venus/Mars in Cancer but it makes sense it would be women in general) I do always hope that you guys would just get it 😆. I'm learning I'm learning.

Hahaha, yes, definitely there is a part of you and most straight to bi women that would like that from males, BUT I've also learned that there is nothing that scares a woman more than a man who does read them very deeply and more fully, and who can see through them.

At least, that's been my experience. My "secret" is that my Soul is slightly tipped to the Yin in polarization despite being connected to a male body, and I'm also very psychic/intuitive.

My partner doesn't seem to mind for the most part though, and she will even sometimes say,"Justin, sometimes you know me better than I know myself." Sometimes she says so begrudgingly, but sometimes humorously and/or in appreciation.

(But admittingly there are occasional moments where I'm completely baffled).

Those are some pretty strong transits, over the IC as well as square to Venus, Moon and ASC. Thankfully Jupiter is there to turn it into growth for you. It's anything but light going over water houses.

I hear you. Hope your situation improves whatever 🤷‍♀️ means lol. Limbo is good though? I mean stagnancy sucks. But maybe being in limbo is uncomfortable. But at the same time transformation is never comfortable.

Hope you feel better soon enough health wise.

I'm doing ok thank you, I think my life's starting to fall into place. I hope. Yeah my life's changing a lot, those transits are in my eighth now right on top of my NN. Playing with my brain lol. I'm doing better though thank God, felt mostly like **** up until a couple of months ago.

I wish lol are you kidding me? I mean you're right there needs to be a certain level of manliness there which some might interpret as not intuiting situations, I mean I guess testosterone would be left brain slash on the logical rather than emotional/intuitive spectrum. But both would be probably a dream come true lol. I mean it obviously depends on the guy, the way he portrays intuition and all... But at the end of the day I would absolutely love it no question about it lol.

It depends more on the individual's attunement. I've noticed that the few women who are more strongly attracted to me, are like me in the sense that they are unusually balanced and integrated between the inner Yin and Yang.

These, whether connected to a male or female body, are fairly rare. Would be classed as "very old souls". (I'm not being egoistical or tooting my own horn, but just being Jupitarian matter of fact and direct).

I went through a very lonely period awhile back when trying to make deeper connections with others (platonically and with males and females), but wasn't having much success. I deeply wondered about it and why. I had a dream I was at a school I didn't normally go to, and I saw self sort of in the background helping the other students at this school. Helping them felt good, but when I tried to connect more deeply and personally with them, they just weren't interested, and it almost felt like I was invisible, like I was a ghost to them.

I felt very lonely, and I wondered why there was such a lack of interest in me on their part. I happened to catch a glimpse of self in a pane of glass and saw my reflection. I was much older looking than the other students. Most of them ranged from children to teens, with a smattering of a few young adults here and there, and I had a beard and a look and feel of deep maturity (in age terms, I was like in my 40's or 50's).

Guidance was telling me, it is nobody's fault or wrong, just different wavelengths. People tend to want to connect most deeply with those on a similar deeper wavelength, as the great Law of creation that runs through all dimensions, is "Like attracts, begets, resonates with, and likes Like" on the deeper, Soul levels.

Thankfully I do have some of my Soul group incarnated who do like and want some connection with me. And interestingly, the one person that I have met who I felt completely understood and accepted me, HAD the SAME friqqin dream, and also has a hard time connecting more deeply with others.

Problem is, is he lives on the other side of the country, and while we have met up a couple of times in person, it's mostly an online connection, which is kind of unsatisfying. But the path of the true initiate is not to surround themselves with like minded/being people, but to be amongst and interact with the whole spectrum, especially those more suffering.

Even with as close and loving a connection as my partner and I have, we are on somewhat different wavelengths, and I feel my friend Albert understands and accepts me more than she does in certain ways.

This is probably a deeper and more metaphysical answer than you were looking for, but then again, your Venus and Mars are in my 12th, and this is what yah got :P lol.

Go by your intuition and possibly nip it in the bud.

Lol @Galactic it's actually interesting. I'm literally having the same issue, the connecting with others on a deeper level. I can never seem to find anyone that matches what I'm looking for (in a friendship that is). Which is why I was giving this friendship (which this post is about) a second thought. He isn't the same as the others I've known. But still doesn't feel right on a lot of different levels.

I guess your dream kinda gave me clarity to be honest, cuz lately that was literally on my mind, couldn't figure out why in the world I can't find people I feel ok with. The answer now seems so simple. I genuinely appreciate you sharing this actually.

You're welcome Brenda.

It would likely be helpful to go within and ask guidance about it more specifically.

This subject matter is always so bizarre to me, especially when someone takes an extreme point of view like "Never befriend a married person."

Why not?

Anyone can be friends with anyone. My ex had tons of guy friends and I had tons of girl friends and, in the end, it all boiled down to trust and being adults about it. There is no fast and hard rules about this type of stuff regardless of how hard some try to make them.

Potential temptation of a weakness.

It might be better not to be in a position unless strength is present.

it's been a lot yeah, even without jupiter some of its been for the better, but ultimately there's no real going back to what was when things change so drastically

not a bad thing just is

i'm not a fan of being in limbo, patience isn't something i have much of and it's all been trying when something does happen along with dealing with everything that's changed and that i've already come from

it's cool though life lessons and growth and **** at least, needed that where i was headed if things had stayed wasnt any good

you and me are both hoping for that 😁

glad you're at least seeing some light at the end of it, that sounds like a lot, and it's been really heavy energy i think even outside of how it's affecting individual charts

but 8th house and north node, damn i imagine you've had some intense **** come out of that

i wonder what your vedic chart is like

i'm in venus ketu dasha right now, venus dasha is roughly 20 years long and before that was ketu (and i have them conjunct in my 1st house which is virgo in vedic) and i was born into mercury dasha (moon is in revati nakshatra in pisces) which affected my first house so after this i'll be in a period that moves away from venus-ketu-mercury for the first time ever (sun dasha and i have a 12th house leo sun)

so the drastic changes fit in well there all things considered, it's interesting to see how western transits mirror these dashas and i just wonder if maybe you're about to cross from one major period in your life to another with your north node being hit

anyway i'm glad things are more settled, hopefully it all gets better, seems like you havent had a good time
