I'd like to just ask you a question about love in my life. I'm sure this is the most popular subject, but it's an importantone to me.
I'm a Cancer woman (born 7/5/69 at 7:53am) and I feel fulfilled in my life in all areas, except for romantic love. I feel that I am ready to give and to receive it, but have had no luck in finding the right situation.
I have deep feelings for a Libra man (10/2/68), but he is involved with someone long distance.
What path am I clearing myself to take? Thank you!

Dear Moonchild...
This is your lucky day!
No...not because I'm writing about your question...but because your SUN (at 12 1/2 degrees Cancer) is Trined by our current Pisces SUN and Scorpio MARS.
It's also under the effect of a MOON Conjunction today.
The Grand Trine I was talking about in today's daily horoscope is precisely what you're experiencing at the core of your consciousness.
It's like a few days of winning the Triple Crown of any sport. Lots of prizes, trophies, fame and schmoozing.
Be careful, though. This is a Water event...it's not a nice warm Fire, where you can pretty much see what everyone is bringing to you. (This cosmic event also holds true for anyone with a natal planet in Cancer...especially at about 9 degrees...like my URANUS!).
Okay...now to the Real question...EROS.
You've really answered your own question, you know. You're clearing a path. To what, you might ask?
To really liking yourself.
In Jungian terms...posessing your own Animus rather than being posessed by a projection of one.
Partners are the mirror of our Soul.
Unfortunately...once we've got one, we rarely spend any time looking at what's reflected of ourselves.
We see only the OTHER...him or her. What your Psyche is doing is forcing you to look at yourself. If we seem to be ignoring the chance to see ourselves when we're coupled...we usually find ourselves alone. Not as some kind of punishment...but as an opportunity.
Psyche wants you to really like yourself whether you're in a relationship or not.
Trust that information.
Relationships, like almost everything else that's important, are meant for you learn about and learn to love...yourself. Nobody finds real fulfillment without satisfying that basic criterion. Because of that, we're really all on the same quest.
By the way...your current Animus is metaphorically involved with your Shadow. That's the part of ourselves we must get to know first. There's usually some difficult, annoying and awkward material there...but there's also real gold, as well.
