Your Romance and Partnership
Horoscope - August 2007
from Vanessa Calderon
(Seventh
Sense Astrology)

Note
to all signs:
Venus, the planet of love, is in what we call, “retrograde
motion”…she appears to be moving backwards in the sky
during the entire month of August. During this time we are
asked to clean house, so to speak, in the romance and
partnership and materialistic areas in our lives. Think
about what you put the most value on in your
relationships. Keep the things that you know have been
working for you, and discard any old habits that you feel
might be hindering you in your quest to have love in your
life.
To read
Vanessa's article about Astrology readings, visit
Astrology and Relationships |
|
ARIES
(March 21 – April 19)
 |
You feel relieved by the higher energy voltage we are
having this month as
compared to last month, Aries. This is more your
style. And Venus will be
in backwards motion through your house of romance and
dating. This could be fun, as you take an opportunity
to visit an old haunt. Preferably some place where you
have had luck in meeting people in the past! On top of
that, lucky you! You have a little kick in the
fun-pants by Mercury this month. This also happens in
your dating sector, so if you ever had the charm and
wit to impress on the singles scene, this would be the
time. Even if you are in a romantic partner ship right
now, just go have fun and impress people you socialize
with. It will be so easy.
|
|
TAURUS
(April 20-May 20)
 |
Your world
speeds up again this month, Taurus. Last month, more
people did things your way, and were asked to have
patience. This month they are back to their same old
tricks. Also, Venus is your ruling planet. When she
appears to be moving backward in the sky, you feel it
more so than other people. She is teasing you, by
moving into your romance sector and back out again. Go
back over anything house or home related that you need
to put the finishing touches on. Partnerships that
have a very nostalgic feel to them will be
highlighted. Make sure that you have covered all your
bases and resolve some family related issues that have
come about over the past several months, and then you
will be ready to really concentrate on your romance
again in the fall, when Venus hands you flowers.
|
|
GEMINI
(May 21 – June-21)
 |
You should go
ahead and plan a night at a comedy club this month,
Gemini. You will have fun there, and the potential for
romance is high in places where people are talking,
laughing, or giving speeches on light-hearted topics.
Much of this action takes place in your own
neighborhood so you don’t have to go very far! If you
felt an urge to settle into a domesticated mode in the
last week of July, well, it was just another one of
your urges. It will come back after August, but in the
meantime, go out on that short trip you have wanted to
take, and spend time with people who you think of as
brothers and sisters, or even your own neighbors.
These people should bring you much luck and social
happiness in August.
|
|
CANCER
(June 22 – July 23)
 |
Saturn has been
in your solar house of finances and how you value
people and things, and you will feel a strong a pull
toward keeping a grasp on the things you value highly
in your life during this month. Venus, which is moving
backwards in that same sector throughout August, is
causing this sense of urgency and a need to hold on.
But fear not, you will get some relief as we all begin
to think in a more grounded manner, and your partners
start to get serious about how you want things
to be, by the third week of the month. Here’s a heads
up: people who you partner with at work or in very
public circles are keeping mum on things that are
going on behind the scenes. They might not be prepared
to tell you everything you want to know yet, so just
adopt an attitude of wait-and-see.
|
|
LEO
(July 23 – August 22)
 |
Ugh, FINALLY we
are speaking your language. Forgive us for being so
difficult to figure out last month, we know how you
enjoy keeping things light. Anyway, Venus is walking
out of your sign for about a minute, and then she is
walking back in for the remainder of August, albeit
backwards. This will be a good thing. You look great.
You have Mars’ passion on your side, and your romance
house is getting a hefty dose of him, so it is all
about sex appeal and friendships that include added
benefits this month! Don’t let it all go to your head
though, and do not be too extravagant with your money
spending. Just make sure that what you buy is what you
really want, or you might be asking yourself what you
were thinking come September. And HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
|
|
VIRGO
(August 23 – Sept 22)
 |
The answer you
have been searching for from a loved one will surface
during the last 10 days of this month. You might be
surprised by what you hear. Last month, Venus was
knocking on the door of your sector of
self-confidence, and you were so ready to let her in.
The things you believed about your partners and about
your relationship philosophies might be challenged
this month, but it’s all for the best. Even though you
do not like to have to make changes in how you
categorize everything in your life, you will survive
any jolts to your comfort zone, and you Virgos always
do. You will have your own ruling planet on your side
by the last week of the month, and it will make angles
that put you back on top of the wisdom heap again.
|
|
LIBRA
(Sept 23 - October 23)
 |
Venus rules
Libra, so when she appears to move backward in the
sky, you feel it more strongly than other signs do,
(Libra and Taurus have this in common). Your partners
will be more flexible than they were over the last two
months. Now is a good time to you cover old ground
with friends of yours who have been relying on you for
relationship or other advice. You might have to remind
them that their best allies are their own ethics, and
a sense of when to act and when to hold back,
especially in sticky situations. You will be in an
energy pattern that brings luck when people from
foreign countries are involved. You should keep those
ears open for a new acquaintance who has an intriguing
accent, and watch for an opportunity to go somewhere
you haven’t been before. Chances are you will feel a
certain strange familiarality with the places you
visit and the people whom you meet.
|
|
SCORPIO
(October 24 – Nov 21)
 |
What to do, what to do? If ever there was a time for
you to have your passionate cake and eat it too, this
is it. Just be aware that one of your slices is a work
or career acquaintance, you might want to think it
through more carefully. You are likely to be attracted
to a coworker or a friend this month. Maybe it is a
coworker or business contact with which you have
developed a strong friendship. However these energies
intertwine for you, you are probably going to be
presented with a small dating or partnership dilemma.
What do you value the most, and how much do you value
it? It is not really so important that you choose one
type of relationship over another right now; It will
be important that you are still happy with your
decisions come autumn, when you will deal with the
repercussions. Just don’t be sneaky this month.
|
|
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov 22 – Dec 21)
 |
Your words will mean a lot to other people this month,
especially around the 20th. Good thing you are
meticulous about how you present yourself because
people will be listening intently. You are likely to
be the one to shake up a scene or a situation that you
know needs to be changed. You are especially ripe to
deal with changes in partnerships and marriages this
month (not only yours but others’ as well). You will
either be the voice of reason or the one to take a
stand. This will apply doubly to family situations and
issues that will effect peoples’ living situations. On
a personal level, astrologers may have been raving
about your ruling planet being in your own sign and
how lucky that is for you. I am here to tell you that
if you find that to be hogwash, it is because you are
in a cycle of character building, which is not always
a bed of roses. You should take advantage of the
planets this month and go vent to someone about how
strong you have been for everyone else. You deserve a
break.
|
|
CAPRICORN
(Dec 22 – January 19 )
 |
Capricorns are endearing because you are all much more
sensitive than people realize. This is because the
sign that rules your solar partnership house is
Cancer, and there is no more emotional sign than that.
It is you who is expected to be the one who can take
care of anything, and everything (or is that just your
lofty expectations for yourself?). Some sensitivity
will return in the first half of the month that you
thought had passed in June. In addition, everything
personal this month points to the material resources
of your partners. You might be asked for your advice
in this area. The good news is, don’t be surprised if
you meet at least one important contact who is
financially well off and/or in the financial business.
In fact, if you have been thinking about taking a
course on finances, this would be the time to do it.
This arena will be lucky for you in the first half of
August. Toward the end, all of the emotional energy
will give way to a more practical energy, conducive to
getting down to business.
|
|
AQUARIUS
(Jan 20 – Feb 18)
 |
You
are getting flooded with planets in partnership areas
of your chart this month, Aquarius. If you are feeling
like you can accomplish almost anything you want to on
the dating and social scenes, it is because you can.
Your ability to be flexible, your ability to size up a
partner, and your ability to get your point across all
come together this month. With the exception of a
slightly serious tone in the beginning of the month,
you are all set to go. Everyone will be wishing that
they were Aquarians in the third and fourth weeks of
the month as you get a nice combination of romance and
friendship energies to play with. You will be covering
some old ground for most of the month, possibly having
some contact and conversation with an old flame or old
business contact, but things are lighthearted enough
this month to make all things tolerable.
|
|
PISCES
(Feb 19 – March 20)
 |
Home, family, and domestic service are highlighted for
you this month, but there might be someone you have
met recently who is lurking in the background, and is
staying behind the scenes. You would like to carry
through with things and people you have noticed
recently but there seems to be too much going on at
home, and you will have to take care of that first.
When you meet someone nice in these next couple of
weeks, be it a romantic or a business prospect; keep
all lines of communications open and save that phone
number. Keep in touch, because in less than two months
you will have more freedom to roam and explore the
possibilities. During the last week of the month, you
have the power of the spoken word on your side. Use it
wisely.

Things that make you go hmm...Personal Ads |
|
I was talking to a female friend the other day
about how frustrating it is for most guys on the personal ad
sites. She confirmed a lot of what I already wrote about
in a prior blog entry "
Why men dont get responses from Personal Ads",
however added a few additional interesting nuggets of
information.
Things have gotten so out of
hand for her and her friends, that they have developed a new
strategy to deal with the amount of emails they get.
What is the strategy? It is the recruitment of their
married friends who are at home with the kids, to sift through
the email responses for them.
So when you think you are
responding to someone, you may not be. It could be a
friend who is weeding through the emails.
When I asked why such extreme
measures were needed, my friend said "reading through the
responses is like a full time job. I just do not have
the time for it. Plus, a lot of the responses are
garbage, obviously cut and paste jobs the guy sent to
everyone. My girlfriend who is home anyway can save me
the time of looking through. Even worse is that guys
send you an email, and then a month later he sends you the
same exact email! I have even had circumstances where I
dated someone from online, and a month later the guy sent me a
message introducing himself on the same personals site we
initially met from.
Her advice?? Be original, show that you actually read the
profile and do not send the same email to everyone. "I
compare my responses with my girlfriends to see if they are
the same."

There is something you can do
Competitor's event |
|
Several
of you have complained bitterly about one specific woman who
runs speed dating events on Long Island. You have asked
for refunds to no avail, and told me that you felt "ripped
off" and "misled" by her poorly run unorganized events.
Well, there is something you can do to prevent this from
happening to anyone else. Please email me at
Info@Weekenddating.com
or call me at 718-757-6933 for details.
Thanks, Jay.

How to choose the right singles organization?
|
|
It has been
happening a lot lately. I receive emails (see below),
and lots of people pull me aside at the events to share their
stories about recent experiences with a particular competitor
who operates in the Long Island area. This woman has
unfortunately left many of you with a very sour taste in your
mouth about speed dating and singles groups in general.
Please understand that not all events are the same.
There are some very good groups (besides Weekendating) who
have your best interests at heart. If this woman's event
is the only group you have tried, I hope you will give another
organization a chance.
I will share with you the actual email received this week.
If you read the article
How to choose the right singles event,
you will find that many of the issues the email complained
about were already addressed.
Jay, I must tell you...I tried a
different speed dating service the other night. It was { }
speed dating...It was awful! After having attended hers, I
realized how much better and organized your events are. I
even might have gotten you some new customers...because I was
telling my "dates" how much better you are and gave them your
website. :)
What I didn't like about hers was...she actually started at
9:00, after telling everyone to be there at 7:30. A lot of
peopel looked uncomfortable waiting around the bar for over an
hour. She didn't introduce herself. She didn't give us a
separate piece of paper to take our own notes, nor did she
give us time to take notes. I can't remember who is who. :)
The next day, all she does is give the guys the phone number
(I would prefer email) of the women they were a match
with...she does not even contact the women at all with the
names of the guys who said yes to her. Oh, and yes, the worst
