شهر الحب


People call February; the month of love.

Despite Valentine’s Day and the ambiance set by the “enterprise”, this particular month (and I mean 2007) is exceptionally romantic! Isn't it?

Almost everyone I know is desperately in love. Not necessarily in happy relationships, but definitely elbow deep in love (translation: لي الكوع)!

Is it a coincidence?

Does the weather have something to do with it? Entering spring and all?

Well... guess what?

I just discovered the craziest reason!!!!

Venus is in Pisces this month!

There you have it :-)

What on earth am I talking about?

Well…

At the risk of being labeled:
Stupid, by liberals;
A witch, by religious fanatics;
Crazy/ kharboota, by everyone else;

I have been reading more and more in astrology. And that does NOT mean predicting anyone’s future. Astrology is the science of interpreting how planets affect our moods, personalities, and feelings. Subsequently, how all this affects our relationships.


So, since Venus (the planet of love- as per the Roman Goddess Venus derived from the Greek Goddess Aphrodite) has moved to the Pisces constellation (Pisces is the last sun sign – 7oot; not only is it the best sign ever, it is the most romantic sign- think Elizabeth Taylor and Drew Barrymore); the combined power of the two have made us all go KoKo!!!

Hope this makes you all feel better :-)

Why don’t we take it one step further?

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could share your date and time of birth (if known)? & answer these questions:

1. Could astrology make sense? Or is it all garbage?
2. What’s your partner’s sign?
3. Who’s your favorite astrologer?
4. How true is your sign to you?

Then we can have our own statistics on bloggers’ personalities and their sun signs :-)

Dear Thomas,
What if a person thinks he has more than one soul mate and is having difficulty picking the one whom he wants to spend his life with-and each soul mate has different attributes about them that he loves. How to decide? -- Tom


Dear Tom,
At a certain point in life, many of us find ourselves in the difficult situation of loving two people and feeling the need to choose one over the other. The situation can be torture, and anyone can feel torn apart. I don't mean to take anything away from your feelings, but your language hints at a solution. You sound as though you're standing back and judging these people. I suspect that if you let yourself get closer to each of them, the choice would be made for you. As a therapist, I listen closely to the words people use. When you use the word "picking," my ears prick up. The way I imagine a deep soul connection, love picks you and your partner. The "soul" part of soul mate is the depth of the connection. It goes beyond reason and control and seems to be ordained by fate. Maybe you need to take more time to be involved with these people and let a decision emerge. If you really are soul mates, you should be able to talk with enough honesty and depth to know what to do. If you yourself acted like a soul mate, you would describe the situation as two people together making a decision, not one sizing up the other. You have to ease up on your desire to know everything and to be in control-so you'll see the signs of real love. When you make the shift from being fully in charge to letting life happen, you'll discover how to be-and have-a soul mate.
