To what extent are you invested in a close partner, and have you considered whether you might be overinvested? This isn't necessarily an easy question, though you may be getting some new information on this topic in the near future. This is, however, not a new story. Indeed, it's the latest step in the process of your rewriting what may be a very old story, and that relates to certain fixed patterns of how you tend to think of yourself, your relationship partners and your mutual role in one another's lives. This question is valid whether or not you currently are with a partner. The underlying material remains the same. The question gets more relevance if you tend to repeat patterns in your relationships. It gets even more relevance if you tend to come up against certain emotional issues and then skip them over, expecting a different result than last time. The current astrology is, to use a strong word, demanding that you be real with yourself. You know it's also time for you to be relating to others on real terms, and call nothing less than that intimacy. I know there is a temptation to have the pleasure, security and emotional contact of relationships without taking the risk of vulnerability. Yet it's never long before this runs out. If you're someone who does value depth and intimacy and who takes emotional risks, the next few weeks promise to be a daring, meaningful, and beautiful time in your life.
