Abusive behavior isn’t always as obvious as physical abuse like being hit or shoved, or verbal abuse such as being called degrading names or cussed out. In fact, abuse can often be underhanded and subtle. You may find yourself feeling confused about your relationship, off balance or like you are “walking on eggshells” all the time. This is the kind of abuse that often sneaks up on you and occurs more often as you become more entrenched within the relationship....

What they say may not be crystal clear to us because women are more contextual and emotional in our thought processes. This is why it’s inevitable for women to try to find meaning in a man’s lightest utterance, especially when you’re trying to tell if a guy likes you. A lot of men say things in a way to try to get their point across without getting our feelings hurt or causing drama or an emotional scene....

Often, love can be expressed through actions to your significant other. As the saying goes, actions speak louder than words. Showing someone you love them holds more weight than a simple one-liner of those three magical words. You may wonder, “How come?” When you physically do something for someone, it takes more of you to accomplish the notion than rambling off “I love you”. Engaging in specific acts of love last much longer forming greater memories....

It seems like every day there’s a breaking news story warning us that this and that kind of food causes health problems. We know that eating lots of junk food increases our risk of getting sick, and we are told to steer clear of things like artificial coloring and preservatives as much as we can. Unfortunately for our pets, their food carries the same risks. As Dr. Marty explains in this video revealing what dogs really need in their diet, “even foods that claim to be ‘healthy,’ ‘organic,’ and ‘natural’” most of the time aren’t the best dog food for your furry loved one....

Happiness studies show that people need at least 1 significant relationship in their life to be happy. Because we are social beings, it’s natural and healthy for us to seek out others for mutual closeness. But what if that connection goes wrong and becomes toxic? Sometimes people change — or maybe we didn’t really know our friends in the first place. You now discover that this person doesn’t value or care about your friendship....

No matter how a breakup comes about, they usually have something in common — three secret reasons your ex is likely hiding — secrets that keep him from fully expressing how he feels. You may think: No way … this isn’t the case. Not my guy! Your man was sensitive, open, and cried at the movies. But, all men struggle with these issues, which confuse them and cause them to bolt....

When we have Sun trine Moon, we have harmony and peace. We are willing to take a deeper look at things so that we can understand them fully, and we are also able to accept things as they are. Acceptance makes us easier to be around, as we don’t come across as a threat. Human beings pick up on threats very easily, and when in the presence of such a thing, we learn to walk away....

The Moon in Sagittarius helps us to explore our desire for freedom and independence. It inspires dreams and visions. It encourages us to be brave and fearless. This transit is special and important because it has the capability of letting us see very clearly what is holding us back in this life. RELATED: 3 Zodiac Signs Who Want To Leave Their Relationship During Mars Sextile Saturn, December 30, 2021 - January 8, 2022 Falling out of love is a very common thing and one of the reasons it hurts so much when you are the one who it’s happening to us because of our expectations; we think ‘falling in love’ means forever, when it means nothing of the sort....

When we have a Moon sextile Venus, we have a choice: Forgive and let go, or grab on so tightly that our fingers break. When we hold on to pain, especially pain that comes in the form of people — we give that pain power to grow. If left unattended, that pain power can take over and ruin our lives. If we surrender our power to the memory of someone who did us wrong, then we might as well consider ourselves members of the undead....

Moon trine Venus brings people back together. Love relationships get second chances and broken-up couples reunite. RELATED: 3 Zodiac Signs Who Catch Their Lover Lying During Mercury Sextile Neptune Starting December 27 - 30, 2021 The entire break-up/come-together process is both tedious and overly dramatic. It takes its toll on the parties involved and prepares you for a life of super highs and ultimate lows. If this is the kind of life you enjoy, then you are probably one of the zodiac signs mentioned below....

Remember the days when people would judge others on whether they married for love or for money? Over the years, we’ve really played down the importance of money, as if we’re trying to convince ourselves that it really is the root of all evil. We begrudge others for having it, and we rarely admit to being jealous of those who do. Fortunately, not all of us are stuck in that ‘money is the devil’ track, which opens up the gateway for money to actually appear in our lives....

So, you want to have an affair, do you? This is where you get the chance to think it out before jumping on in. You can’t be blamed for your lusty desires, after all, that’s what happens when there’s a Moon in Scorpio. And while you may be feeling the push of the celestial bodies, pressing you on to conquer whoever is out there waiting for you, you may want to back up a tad, and think before you do the wrong thing....

The three zodiac signs who will have a great day on January 5, 2022, and we are all are still moving within the Cap Sun and Aqua Moon energy which prompts us to tap into our innermost feelings and create a plan for change because of them. This isn’t the forging ahead that we’ve done in previous years but instead shows up as a slow start to the New Year....

Today will be a great day, but only for those that have been telling the truth for Pisces, Aries, and Capricorn. This is the debt Pluto asks us to pay because, as we will begin to see, Karma isn’t a friend or foe-but our own reality based on our choices. Venus and Pluto aren’t just here to cause possible upsets in our relationships; they are here to bring them together....

Planetary activity picks up as we normally see close to eclipse times with three different transits occurring today ahead of tomorrow’s lunar event. Mercury trine Neptune and Venus trine Uranus are both beneficial aspects that will bring synchronistic and positive events to our lives both today and in the days that unfold. Mercury and Neptune help us get more in touch with our poetic side but also help us be more emotionally vulnerable in what we express to another....

There are many astrological aspects that go into making Wednesday particularly rough, but things will get better once the New Moon passes. The first is that we are nestled within the window right before the Super New Moon in Scorpio on the 4th, which is the official start of Eclipse Season. Adding to that we will be feeling both Mercury and Venus change zodiac signs just a few hours after that....

Depending on who we are, or rather, what our signs are, it could go either way up or down. As far as this particular blog goes, we’re going to concentrate on the rougher transits of the week, and who is going to be affected by them. After experiencing a New Moon in Aquarius, the end of Mercury retrograde, and a Full Moon in Leo a lot has gone on. We’ll be seeing some strange days indeed during Saturn in Aquarius, which happens to fall on Valentine’s Day....

And when it comes to relationships, let’s just say you better hope that luck is on your side today, because the Moon in Cancer is about to reveal more toxicity than you ever planned on seeing…in your own ‘romantic’ relationship. This is the transit that lets you see every single bit of all that you didn’t want to see in your partner. During this transit, you’ll see the toenails and the open toilet seat....

And perhaps best of all — or perhaps worst of all, depending on who you are at any given moment — our minds flood our hearts with a certain face that has overwhelmed our every sense and feel. If there’s a certain someone on your mind, you know exactly what I’m talking about. With that said, I have no idea about what you’re supposed to do if you’re married or in a relationship, yet your mind flashes shots of a totally different person other than your partner across the Big Screen behind your eyes every other minute....

Family relationships are bonds formed by blood and marriage and prove to be some of the deepest types of love out there. So now is the perfect time to express your love for your kids, too! When I was growing up and living at home still, my dad would make Valentine’s Day breakfast for me, my sister, and my mom. He would make heart-shaped pancakes decorated with heart-shaped candies for the holiday, and he would give each of us a loving Valentine’s day card with sweet messages of love inside....
