What Planet Is Your Relationship On?

2009-05-29T07:35:00.003-05:00

If men are from Mars and women are from Venus, what planet is their relationship on?

John Gray's bestselling book used a planetary analogy to understand relationships. It proved very popular as a way of understanding and interpreting the behaviour patterns that men and women display.

Astrology also uses planets to understand and predict character traits and behaviour patterns. It is an extremely effective tool for analysing relationships. Venus and Mars are not the only planets looked at, although they are important. In total there are ten planets to consider and 12 different signs that each planet could be in. This gives a very high number of possible combinations, which can lead to an insightful and detailed analsis.

One of the reasons astrology is such a useful tool is its neutrality. By describing a relationship astrologically, a distance can be achieved. Difficulties then become a shared problem which could be resolved through co-operation. Identifying the problem as 'We have a Mars opposition' is a much more neutral way of saying 'We argue all the time' or even ' Why do you always argue with me?' What's more, astrology can even help to identify the timing of both good and difficult times. Knowing that things will get better can dissolve a lot of tension.

In any relationship there will be combinations of harmonious and challenging aspects, but there will often be a way of relating to each other that seems to work most of the time. It becomes a habitual way of interacting, the line of least resistance. Sometimes one particular planet provides a dominant theme for the relationship. In effect, it is the planet on which the relationship is based.

It could be the moon, signifying that emotional rapport and domestic compatability are the foundation on which it is based. Or it could be Mercury,indicating that both partners are on the same wavelength, can communicate well with each other and enjoy chatting or even writing to each other. Or perhaps it is the Sun, suggesting compatability at a deep level and that fundamental values and ways of approaching life are in harmony.

Only three examples have been given here, but there are lots more. It can get very complex, but the fundamental principles are simple and can be grasped by anybody sufficiently motivated to understand them.

If you want to understand the dynamic of a relationship, you should first try to understand each person as an individual. Astrology is a great way of doing this. It can help identify what matters most to you. If you are fundamentally an emotional person, emotional rapport will be the most important aspect of any relationship you have. A relationship that is great in lots of other ways, but does not meet this need, will ultimately be unfulfilling. Equally, you may tolerate all kinds of other difficulties if you are in a relationship where you feel a deep emotional connection. Discovering which planet you want the relationship to be on, is crucial. A great relationship on Venus may be fine for some people,but you might personally be happier with one based on the moon.

Astrology is a fascinating subject. After all, what could be more interesting than studying yourself, the person you love and the relationship that you have? It's worth investing some time to understand it yourself, rather than relying on other people's predictions and interpretations. It can be easy to place too much faith in an expert interpretation. There are some very experienced astrologers out there, but you are the most qualified person to understand yourself and your relationship. Astrology gives you the tools to do so in a neutral way, and it's also great fun. So, if you do feel inspired to look at it in more depth, be sure to enjoy yourself whatever planet you are on.

How to Improve Your Romance Luck Using Your Cell Phone

2008-06-12T12:34:00.000-05:00

The cell phone has become a daily necessity for everyone of us,since the beginning of the millennium.But very few people know that the cell phone can be used to create romance luck.
Now,I know what you are thinking.You are probably expecting me to tell you to call up the chat lines and try to get a date.Or you might be expecting me to tell you to go out and exchange phone numbers with more people.Well,these are logical things to do.But there is an easier way out.Something that you will be doing every 2 to 3 days,depending on how much you use your cell phone.

Yes,you probably already guessed it.That's right.Charging your cell phone.

So how can charging your cell phone increase your romance luck?Let me explain to you...

The cell phone and the cell phone charger are Fire objects.If you have read my newsletter and articles,you probably know that the Romance Flying Star,the 9 Purple Star also represents Fire.If you want to activate the 9 Purple Romance Flying Star,you need to use Fire.

Now,the next thing is how do you know where is the position of the 9 Purple Romance Flying Star?

It is time for me to help you out now.The position of the 9 Purple Romance Flying Star changes every month.Last month,Fire Snake month (5th May to 5th June),it was at South sector.If you charged your cell phone at the South sector of your house last month,you will have activated the 9 Purple Romance Flying Star.

This month,the position of the 9 Purple Romance Flying Star is at the North sector.You might want to move the charger to the North sector of your home.

If you have problems trying to figure out the sectors in your home,I suggest you refer to "The Secret Handbook Of Creating Your Own Good Luck".You can download it for free at my feng shui website.

Yes,it is as easy as that.Just charge your cell phone at the position of the 9 Purple Flying Star.That will help you improve your romance luck.

Before I end,let me also share with you some feng shui problems caused by the cell phone charger.You see,many people like to charge their cell phone by their bed side.It is not very good to charge your cell phone at your bed side,especially when you are sleeping.The radiation from the cell phone will affect your brain when you are sleeping.

This also poses a problem to the people born in Summer(6th May to 7th August).If you are born in Summer,Fire is very unfavorable to you.When you charge your cell phone at your bed side while sleeping,you are in essence sleeping with Fire.This will greatly affect your luck cycle.You may find that things are not very smooth for you.

During this Summer period (May,June and July),it is worse for you to do that.

But even if Fire is favorable to you (i.e. you are born in Winter or Autumn),I would still advise against charging your cell phone at your bed side while you sleep.The radiation from the cell phone is harmful to your brain.

I hope that from today onwards,your romance luck will improve,since you already know how to maximise it.

Long Distance Christmas Relationships
http://www. Heart-of-Mine.com

This Christmas, if you find that you are separated from the one you love it does not mean that you have to be lonely and sad over the holidays. There are plenty of ways to keep the romance high in a long distance love affair. If you are not normally separated and your lover is leaving on a business trip you have a chance to add some special presents to their going away bag.
Send your woman or man away with some toys that you can surprise them with. You might send a female with a vibrator or a clitoral massager. A man might end up finding a love doll or a masturbator. You could even add some racy photographs of yourself to show them what they will be missing while they are gone this holiday. If they will be gone on Christmas as well, you should add in a small present that they can open on Christmas.
You have a number of options for communication when it comes to long distance love. Email and telephone time are the two most common methods of communication. Of course, with the computer being so popular these days you can toy with the idea of using an Internet (web) cam for some added fun. Consider the following options as a way to feel a lot closer than you may be this Christmas.
Telephone Time
Set some time apart from your day when you can be alone together. During the first phone call you can reveal the special present you left for your lover if they have not found it already. If it's late you might find yourself thinking about the moments you will be spending together soon and might find your lover using those toys for you or with you, while you use your own. This may not be the same as the real thing but it is certainly interesting enough to tide you over until you can be together and make love again.
Another nice idea is to send your lover some romantic voicemail messages if you know they are going to be the only ones to hear them. You might go traditional and talk about your feelings or you might want to get racier and tell them how much you really do miss them this Christmas.
Email
If you find yourself at the office or with a few minutes to spare and you know your lover has an Internet connection then you should send along an email. You could send a standard love note. You might also want to tell them what you are wearing, what you wish they were doing with you right that second, or how much you want to make love to them when they get home.
Your lover will be thrilled to see your email, especially if it gives them something to think about while you are apart. Chances are they will respond with a declaration all their own and soon you will be having a sexy email romance throughout the holiday until your lover comes home to you.
Web Cam
A person with practically no computer knowledge can set up a web cam. With that in mind, why not give your lover a special treat this Christmas while you are separated? Even if they do not have a web cam, as long as they have an Internet connection and an instant messenger program they will be able to see you. Imagine their excitement when they see a sexy strip tease and a one woman or man lovemaking show just for them!

Online Dating: The New Way To Date

2007-09-20T18:27:00.000-05:00

by Steven Cancel
In the past couple of years, people have been meeting each other through this lovely place called the internet. It is called online dating, and chances are you or someone you know has met someone through an online dating service.In 2004, Americans spent over 469 million dollars on online dating services. These people didn't like dating the old fashioned way and looked to the internet to help fulfill their romantic wants and needs.Online dating, in general, is pretty darned simple. All you would have to do is fill in your interests and match up with people that have similar interests that you do. You would then strike up conversation with each other over the web and decide if this person is worth meeting.There are many online dating websites that all do things a little different from the others. Some sites, like the one explained above, use a detailed matching system. Others give you the option of writing a small biography on yourself and allow other members to browse by locations and interests. Some more expressive online dating sites have webcam use and options to post pictures and write day to day blogs.Online dating is a way to meet people with out that awkward back and forth questioning that many of us would rather avoid. Seeing that you already know each others interests, making conversation with someone you met online is easy and less demanding.The massive business of online dating has even been the subject of mainstream movies like You've Got Mail, starring Hollywood heavyweights Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. The two meet online and find love through their interests and conversation with out even knowing who each other are.Finding a mate online has made rejection almost a thing of the past. With all the people online looking for love, it is hard to not find someone to connect to. The thing about looking online for people and not choosing them doesn't hurt you or the person because both of you will never know each other since you don't match.In 2002, a Wired magazine article said that, "Twenty years from now, the idea that someone looking for love without looking for it online will be silly." This alone forecasts a strong future for the world of online dating services and since the community has grown at an incredible rate.With some patience and a good personality, anyone can find love on the internet because there is always someone for you.

A Case for Dating via the Internet

P ersonals.Yahoo.com

Believe it or not, there are some men and women who have not ventured into
internet dating yet. By not exploring this avenue, these people are missing an
important avenue for meeting wonderful men and women like themselves that are
having a hard time meeting someone decent to date through more traditional means
and their normal daily activities.

A coaching client, Sally* is a 40 year old woman who has never married and was
having no luck meeting appropriate men. She is a shy woman who dreaded singles
events and “putting herself out there”. So I encouraged her to explore her
perspectives on dating on the internet.

“It’s scary out there” came up first. She was afraid of the unknown and the
“crazies” that she would encounter during her search. Also, she was afraid of
any undesirable types who contacted her. I told her that it was a possibility
that some unstable people where on the net, however, the process of weeding out
by scrutinizing emails and talking to them on the phone would screen out most
men she would felt uncomfortable with.

“What other perspective on internet dating comes up for you?”, I asked her. She
hesitated. Then I continued with, “What would your mother think of you trying
internet dating?” She laughed and said her mother would say, “What do you have
to lose by trying?” “What would that look like?” I encouraged her further. “It’s
kind of like the nothing ventured, nothing gained perspective”.

Then, I went one step further, “What would your best friend say about you trying
internet dating?” “Oh that is easy, she would tell me to go for it!” Sally went
on, “Also, there’s a whole world out there for me to explore.” She continued to
tell me that “Go for it” perspective felt as though it was possible to meet
someone this way and that it was hopeful.

“What could be fun about dating on the internet?” I asked. “Well, I could meet
interesting people, do interesting things and go interesting places.” “So would
you say that this would be the It’s fun out there perspective for internet
dating?” “Yes, I could see that”, she confirmed.

Then, a negative thought (a gremlin) came to Sally immediately. “Aren’t only
desperate men dating via the internet?” she expressed as a concern. We then went
on to explore why someone would be dating using the internet. We came up with
the following positive reasons:

1. These men may be time constrained due to demanding jobs and family
obligations and don’t have much time for traditional ways of meeting women such
as singles events and activities.

2. Men like convenience. This is an easy way to meet appropriate women to date.

3. Men like to be efficient. The internet provides an efficient use of their
time and money. You can go to a singles event and not meet anyone. You have just
spent your time and your money without any results! Your chances seem better of
actually going on dates.

4. The internet provides a lot of information that you don’t get when meeting
someone at a bar or a singles event. It weeds through the chit chat.

5. You get to engage with someone and get to know them through emails and phone
calls before you meet them. Therefore, physical chemistry does not become the
only factor for wanting to meet someone.

6. Internet dating is a one on one vehicle. It is not like some of these meat
market singles events where you are standing around with dozens of other women
around.

7. The internet is great for shy people who don’t have an easy time at parties
and group events.

8. The internet is actively being used by all ages now, especially those 55
years and under.

After we brainstormed and uncovered these reasons for trying internet dating,
Sally seemed ready to give the internet a try. Then, one last gremlin came up
for her!

“It all sounds good, but this may take too much time for me” Sally said. “How
much time could you give to this activity during the week?” I countered. “A
couple of hours a week” she offered. “How many hours are you willing to commit
to spending on internet dating a week?” I asked firmly as her coach. She was
willing to commit to 3 hours a week.

“And what perspective do you want to take on as you go forward with this
venture?” I encouraged further. “I want to take on the go for it perspective”,
she answered. “I know you will go for it and you will be courageous about it!”
was my acknowledgement for my client that ended our session.

Local Dating Online

2007-07-24T21:35:00.000-05:00

http://personals.yahoo.com

While of course if you are looking for a date then you could go around the bars and clubs in your area on the off chance that you might meet someone you click with and start up a romance by dating. However considering the amount of people all out there looking for the same thing, depending on the size of the area in which you live and what's on offer there, this might take a huge amount of time to accomplish if at all. There is a far better way of meeting people in your own area, by going online and trying a local dating site.

Online dating sites are becoming more and more popular, so popular in fact that know they are divided into different categories making it even easier for you to narrow down your save and therefore save you even more time and energy than before. If you are looking to get into the dating scene and in particular want to actually go on to meet people in life then choosing a local dating site is your very best option.

Finding a site in your area is simple, just go to one of the popular search engines and type in your location when looking for a dating site. The majority of sites in your area will then let you narrow down your search even more to a smaller area of your choice and of course the biggest benefit of this is that all the people you meet in the chat room are looking for the same thing as you. This of course saves a huge amount of time and as the majority of sites offer many ways of communicating when it comes to dating online then you can quickly find someone that you click with.

Of course when you have found someone using local dating online and have got to know them and it comes to meeting in real life then there are safety factors that you have to take into consideration. Firstly make sure that you have communicated several times online with the person before actually meeting them and never give out any personal information such as your address. And when meeting up with someone for the first time do always arrange to meet in a well populated and well lit area and tell someone where you are going and who you are going with.

Quiz - Does Rejection In Love Scare You?

http://personals.yahoo.com

Many of us want to love. We want to go forward with love and have a partner for life. But we are afraid. Are you one of them? Sometimes when we are afraid with the right choice we land up with somebody we never wanted. I remember a man who was in deep love with a woman. The woman was also in love with this man but was shy. The man thought of telling her many times about his love but was afraid of being rejected. This fear stopped him whenever he attempted. He could never tell her that he loved her. Slowly they drifted apart. For some years this man did not know what to do, because the memory of his love and his own cowardice did not allow him to develop a new relationship. One day a woman who loved him asked him to be his partner and he agreed though he never loved her. The consequences were disastrous.

Why do people fear rejection so much? Are you one of them? Do you feel that it is better not to ask rather than hearing a no. Do you think that it is OK? Will you be happier that way? Does that not show you that you are little weak in handling such situations? If yes, why not overcome this fear and go forward. Let us think about the consequences. Nothing worse will happen other than hearing a no. But you can at least ask why and find out the reason of no. Probably the reason has nothing to do with you and your loved is saying no for some different reason altogether. it is always better to fight every fear that dwells in our mind and conquer them. Win over the fear of rejection and you will find everlasting love forever.

Scents And Sensibilities

2007-07-12T11:26:00.000-05:00

http://personals.yahoo.com

The nose indeed is choosy and you can only want to leave a lasting good impression. From varying emotions to different personalities, there will always be that unique fragrance that will surely suit your every mood. That is simply why most of the perfumes are named after emotions and feelings. Aside from the scent, they come in great and stylish packaging, too. Unfortunately, adding that information will surely make your decision-making more confusing, not to mention difficult, so here are some pointers that will cut down your options focusing on the more important factors. This will help you decide on your favorite signature scent.

Notes

This guide will help you determine as to what scent will surely suit your taste. Just let the fragrance linger a little longer and you will have no regrets.

Top notes - This is your initial take on the perfume.

Middle notes - You usually smell this 10 minutes after wearing the scent.

Base notes - This is the scent that stays on you while the perfume dries down on your skin.

Concentration

This shows you how different kinds vary according to the concentration of aromatic compounds.

Eau de cologne is used best in tropical areas because it is only light and it helps you stay fresh. This is most of the time used by teens since the scent is not overpowering.

Eau de toilette may be used when you're staying in an air conditioned room since this is a bit more concentrated in terms of aromatic compounds.

Eau de parfum is your best bet if you want a long and lasting fragrance.

Preservation

Perfumes stored in plastic bottles may evaporate over time. It is best if you keep them in aluminum bottles and at relatively low temperatures somewhere between 3-7 degrees Celsius. Also, keep your perfumes away from direct heat and light since these may destroy the quality of your perfume.

Lastly, do a test drive each time before you choose a fragrance. Spray on some and let it settle for a while and see how your body reacts to it. When you've finally decided on which one works best for you, always remember that when wearing it, spritz it on your wrists, elbows, behind the ears, behind the knees and on areas where you can check your pulse since those places can effectively send off the fragrance as well as those areas where the scent really lasts long.
