My mother was married to my father for 37 years. They truly loved one another, and if soulmates exist, they definitely were soulmates. Nothing, even a hyper-rebellious daughter like me or the crazy world of education, could tear them apart. As a couple, they were very unique. Though they married only a month after meeting, they defied the odds and embodied what true love looked like. They overcame struggles like moving to a different country, learning different languages, and being dirt poor just to be together....

It is as simple as that. The fear of failure looms in my heart every single day because I have no idea what it means to succeed in parenting. Maybe I do and I simply suffer from a hefty dose of self-doubt. My marriage is happy, and my kids are happy . . . so why am I so worried all the time? What, exactly, am I so worried about?...

There are 3 big reasons why men don’t commit. Fortunately for you, they are all things you can do something about. RELATED: The One Way To Know If He’s Ready To Commit To A Relationship With You While he may have many excuses as to why he can’t commit right now, the solution boils down to these 3 secrets: 1.

I tell the story of their son or daughter’s entrance into the world. The struggles, the fears, the pain, the joy. These stories are beautiful. But in the birth world, I see a certain type of birth held up as ideal, and in my work, I capture many that would fit the standard. The fictional “first place trophy of childbirth” always seems to go to the un-medicated vaginal births where the mom and partner are active and unhindered by doctors or nurses....

There are many factors that come into play when a couple is about to break up, and lack of trust seems to always be one of the ’tick points’. Our relationships tend to fall apart way before the actual breaking up of the partnership, and during Moon square Saturn, we’ll be witnessing this happen in our relationships, and in the connections that others make with their partners. It’s a precarious time for three zodiac signs in particular, and it is going to prove hard to remain balanced and centered right now....

There’s just something about how the people of your particular sign of the zodiac radiate their own special kind of beauty, during this transit. This is also about how people react to you during this time, which starts on November 14 and lasts until the 17, 2021. It’s an ideal situation — everyone finds you attractive. You’ll be getting high compliments and nods of approval; you may even find it funny....

“Best” is subjective. Hey, for some “best” might be all about being alone, in love with one’s self, happy and unbothered. In this case, it’s none of the above — not with Mars In Scorpio in our sky, doing its transit. Mars In Scorpio is going to bring out our fiercest side, and for lovers, this will probably mean…lots of intimacy. Some believe that a good, healthy intimate life is essential for a relationship to last — and they may very well be correct....

Well, for three zodiac signs who want friends with benefits during the Moon sextile Venus starting October 14, 2021, this might cross the mind. At first, it feels silly and maybe even a little wrong, and yet, the two of you can’t help but notice how sexy that moment was, and how maybe there’s something there, something worth exploring? It happens. It happens between friends all the time - friends of the opposite sex and of the same sex, and if you’re not ready to admit certain things to yourself, it could go any number of ways....

We’re looking at false starts, many stops, procrastination, and confused goals. It’s as if we all have great intentions for the day, yet we can’t get it together to even try. When we have a Quarter Moon in Taurus, we can expect serious laziness. Many of us will be ‘all talk’ and very little action.

In fact, astrologically speaking this Sunday is brutally rough and all zodiac signs will discover one hard truth: if we don’t take care of ourselves first, it doesn’t matter what anyone else does. It’s a solar season for growing, for learning for Capricorn, Scorpio, and Virgo zodiac signs. For all of us, this is a season for realizing what things no longer fit, (and it doesn’t help that Pluto is in Capricorn, either)....

Even though the full moon energy is one of the high points of the week alongside Jupiter and Mercury direct, today we also are experiencing a Mars Pluto square which brings about that aspect of wanting to control others or feeling constricted or oppressed ourselves. With the current energies coming in we are feeling more driven to pursue what we feel drawn to. What represents our authenticity and what we are passionate about; what feels like calling to our souls....

With the transits come poetry and imagination. Just saying the words, “Sun sextile the Moon” evokes something grander than what we might expect from everyday life. The mixture of the two ever-present cosmic constants seems like a cocktail that can only be prepared in the heavens, and that it is, my friends. That is is. So, what does Sun Moon sextile mean for us? Let’s talk about imagination and our ability to desire, to dream — to live in the truth....

Between all that we’ve come to believe about ourselves and all the lies we took on that eventually made us think we weren’t worthy of goodness, we are finally on the edge of a true discovery: we’re not so bad after all. What this transit brings up in us is the idea that we may finally be closing a chapter in our lives - one that was hard fought and brought with it much sadness and heartbreak....

In our minds, we don’t foresee an ending — why would we? Love is eternal, it’s what holds us together…until of course, it doesn’t. And this is also reality. Even the best relationships have the potential to fall apart, and it’s especially tricky during Moon Trine Saturn. Why this transit, why now? When we have Moon Trine Saturn, we speak unkind words and treat people disrespectfully. It’s just what Saturn does, and when Trine with the Moon, our dark and nasty side seems to become amplified…even enraged....

Venus Square Pluto has the power to reduce you to a blubbering mess or make you into a dark warrior that will fight like hell for your right to say what’s on your mind. And when it comes to relationships for Aries, Taurus, and Cancer zodiac signs, this transit will most definitely put any couple to the test. This is the season when couples duke it out, emotionally, mainly because this transit makes obvious the one thing couples always fight about: money....

One day, she made a move on me. The next day, she asked me to do her a favor. She said that if I could help her finish her assignment, she’d hang out with me. Of course, I said yes. RELATED: 11 Signs He’s Not In Love — You’re Just Convenient I spent hours on that homework just to have a chance with her.

You delight in one blissful date after the next. You like the same food, enjoy the same movies and have a taste for the same kind of furniture. You’re inseparable. You finish each other’s sentences. Time passes. Anniversaries are celebrated. Holidays are shared. Then, one day, you abruptly discover something is not quite right. You start to miss those Bellini brunches with your girlfriends, trips to the theme park with your nieces and nephews, and that occasional beer with a cool cohort who just “gets” what you mean when you go off on a riff about the biz world....

Turns out they’re not not consummating the marriage because they’re exhausted from the big day. Rather, the results of a poll published in The Daily Mail reveal that 24% of couples admit that they skip the lovemaking because the groom is too drunk, while 13% skip it because the bride is too wasted. Take that, marriage vows! But if you ask a bride what her biggest wedding day (and night) regrets are, the answer probably won’t have anything to do with the marital bedroom....

According to astrocartography, the branch of astrology concerning how planetary placements affect the way we feel and respond to certain places or areas, some locations around the globe are actually more positive places for us and favor the accomplishment of certain desires or qualities we want to focus on in life. When you calculate an astrocartography map, you see a map of the world (or whichever area you are interested in looking at) with lines drawn through different localities....
