Gemini Stuck On An Ex

Q: I was born on June 3rd 1987 at 6:52 am in Hertfordshire UK. I broke up with my ex a year ago. I am still heart broken and cannot seem to move on. I moved back to my home country but will soon be returning to the same city that my ex lives in. I am wondering if we may have another chance? We have been in touch since we broke up. I am trying to move on but I am still pining for my ex. I have no idea why I cannot just accept this and move on. I am starting a new career and I am wondering if this will turn out to be more favourable for me and help me to forget him. Please shed some light!

A: I've focused on your chart, as you have some exciting energies affecting you.
First, here is a quick rundown of your main planetary influences on relationships. Your 7th House sign is Capricorn, suggesting a traditional style of relationship suits you best. Ideally this includes commitment and longevity. Dreamy Neptune aspects your Descendant, (the relationship point), showing that sometimes you do struggle to see reality in love – this influence shows you can easily get swept up in the fairy-tale. Learning to be practical with partners, and focus on what is, now what you want things to be, will help you avoid romantic disappointment in the future.

Your steady, earthy and at times sensual approach to love is reinforced by your Venus in Taurus. This is a strong, positive placement for Venus, and shows your loyalty and reliability to be some of your most attractive qualities. Surrounding yourself with girlfriends you can trust and women than inspire you will always be a good thing for you.

You have the Moon in Leo (a fixed sign like Taurus), showing letting go of feelings takes you longer than it does others. Emotional change isn't your favourite thing, so be gentle and allow plenty of time when you do go through changes emotionally or to do with your living situation. Your Leo Moon receives a favourable trine aspect from Jupiter, indicating you have a generous side that knows no bounds with loved ones. A Moon/Jupiter placement like this has a love for both adventure and luxury. On occasions, be sure to treat yourself to both.

Active Cycles
Since November 2010, Saturn has made a hard aspect to your relationship axis, bringing a reality check about love. This usually means having to admit what's really not working, and make a mature choice about what to do next. Whether you're in a long term relationship or just enjoying the dating game, Saturn's love influence usually forces you to grow up and be clear about boundaries in love.

In June 2010, you started a new 30 year life cycle, showing that generally life is on an upwards trajectory. Sometimes the shift into the new this progressed New Moon cycle brings means leaving behind people/situations that are more about your past/the old you. In March 2011, you started a new career cycle, which bodes well for your career change and move. You're ready to head in a whole new direction, and show the world you're confident, assertive self. Even if you're moving back to where you used to live, you'll have a whole new experience living there, and getting back together is probably not part of it.

In April and May 2012, lucky Jupiter makes his once-in-12-years pass over your Venus, which typically brings opportunities for love and romance. Enjoy your time to yourself and to heal now, 2012 brings plenty of romantic excitement.
