Need some of our Leo Love...

Yup, the earth signs elude me as well (except for taurus) yet they are the main element i attract both romantically and platonically. For some reason, with taurus people, I can be very blunt, direct, and forthcoming with my words/self. As long as I tell them exactly who I am and what I stand for then they, in turn, are very accepting of me. I just have to be consistent and they take it just fine. Virgos and caps on the other hand... whew! No one completely blows my mind but these 2 signs are a real head trip for someone like me.

Anyway, it will all work out in the end and we leos are known to bounce back with optimism. Remember, we are in a venus retrograde right now and venus rules love and relationships. It's gonna cause rifts even in the strongest of relationships and let the weak ones fall into the ether. Not to mention that it is retrograding in scorpio no less. Scorpio is known for its sting and association with jealousy, possessiveness, and control. Add its intensity in the concoction to our love lives and its bound to stir up some unpleasant.

I just read a bunch of crap on it and it has affected me rather significantly. My mars is in scorpio. The storm is still abound but I feel like the peak effects are just now finally starting to subside. I was having a hard time there, for the past few weeks, riddled with internal struggles regarding my relationship with my cancer. Old issues were dredged up. Not issues with my cancer but issues that I had in my past relationships. I was starting to aggressively project left-over insecurities onto my cancer without meaning to or being fully conscious of it. There were times of little, impulsive emotional outbursts that I am not normally inclined to do. I was becoming quite frustrated with myself and then with him. He took it much better than I expected but I still think I caused him to retreat into his shell a bit. I was kind of a mess and he ended up taking the brunt of it all. He was still there but was obviously more introspective and not as communicative.

Last night felt like a breakthrough of sorts. It's not that we didn't have good times in the midst of all that. In fact, we had some pretty stellar nights but it was inconsistent. It's like we'd be really hot and heavy for a couple of days straight and then completely detached for a few days. It was weird and unlike us. Last night, though, had an air of healing and normalizing about it. It feels nice!

Sorry, I know you were looking for more sympathy. I went off on a tangent in hopes that it would re-direct your attention, even for a moment, on something other than your heartache. I guess I went more with the empathy route instead by trying to let you know that you're not alone right now (or ever, really).
