Question: Linda Goodman says in Relationship Signs that Sun square Saturn is about as binding an aspect as you can get. Does the “binding” feeling ever go away? I don’t have the book here, but she says something like, “You may not always get along, but oh well, you are stuck with each other forever, so try and make the best of it.” Any thoughts? It may appear on the surface that a Saturn relationship exists to tie our hands,…...

Question: My Pluto is exactly conjunct my husband’s Moon. We went on one date then got engaged. In many ways, he seems to be the living embodiment of some deep, half-conscious yearning in me.

Question: With a Mercury-Neptune aspect in my own chart, it appears to be a no-brainer indicator of gaslighting in synastry.
