Excerpt from a weekly newsletter by the amazing astrologist Carol Allen:

"You can be CRAZY about a man who doesn't fully GET YOU. You can have FABULOUS chemistry with a man that doesn't make you feel listened to or understood - and it can be SO confusing. Women especially BLAME themselves for this stuff. If you've ever been in a relationship with lots of good stuff but something "off," you may not have understood that it was the energy BETWEEN you and a man, and the limitation of THE RELATIONSHIP. You may have thought the problem was somehow YOU. Perhaps you settled for the good stuff but you paid a HIGH price - making "the negative changes" and squelching your creativity and true self. You have different ways of seeing things and being in the world - and it's no one's fault."


I think this post is truly for myself. That although rationally I know all of those ideals, it doesn't make disappointment any less pervasive. It does however, help me remember that sometimes things just aren't meant to be but that doesn't make you any less fabulous. It's another lesson in the plan of life. And, you always have YOU. Listen to her. Or him.
