Marriage is a big deal. It’s just a really big deal.
Are you married? Do you want to be? What does it mean to you?
Yesterday I was talking this topic with my boyfriend.
He wanted to know what marriage meant to me and doesn’t this make sense?
MERCURY (talking) is in Libra (marriage!).
I am learning a lot. About life these days. A lot a lot a lot.
Libra is known for indecision.
Scorpio (where Mercury heads next, on September 30th!) is known for KNOWING i.e. NO WEAKNESS SHALL BE TOLERATED DO OR DIE FUCKERS.
(Scorpio hates losing more than they love winning.)
From the pleasure of the 5th to the work of the 6th to the contract of the 7th to the BED (soul union) of the 8th to the expansion of the soul (9th) and status change (now you are a wife or a husband in the eyes of the world) of the 10th.
It’s a soul union, I said to him. I have no proof for this. But I am certain it’s a soul union which is created BY the legal document and commitment. It’s a decision. To stop fucking around. In all the myriad ways.
I know not everyone agrees with me or has the same idea of marriage.
And I also believe ALL consenting adults should have this right.
And that their unions (with or without marriage) are NOT diminished at all due to closed-mindedness/bigotry.
So marriage CAN happen outside the legal system, but the ceremonial trappings (i.e. making it help) DO help. The structures that are in place (like having to go to City Hall to apply for a marriage license) create MORE possibilities, not less. More opportunity for… knowing yourself, knowing what you want BECAUSE you have to jump through some hoops. It really makes you stop and think: what is marriage, what is commitment, who am I, who is this person, what is my life about, what will change, what won’t change, what are my goals if I were to marry. And so on…
What are you talking about these days?
Love, MP

amazing… this is ultimately what is the core issue at stake between me and the gemini… My 7H ruler, mercury is conj his juno in libra, and trine his sun, my venus and his saturn in gemini in my 5H. when mercury hits 12 degrees libra it will conj his moon, my mars, my saturn in my 9H, then when it hits 18 degrees libra it will conj my MC, trine my mercury in gemini, oppose my IC and oppose the gemini’s chiron, mercury will then conj my pluto and moon at 24 and 28 degrees libra in my 10H, opposing my DC at 28 deg gemini. when mercury hits scoprio it will conj my natal jupiter at 0 degrees, and join the saturn/NN/venus conj… all in my 10H, which is trine my sun and the gemini’s venus and mars in cancer, in my 7H, and my NN at 13 deg cancer which is conj transit Jupiter and Lilith. right in time for transit pluto in my 1H to go direct!
forgot about his Uranus at 14 deg libra… years ago i had a special dream, where we met and got married… and it was a surprise… 🙂
Having been married twice, and these are just my personal observations, while the marriage legally happens on one day, the real wedding comes as a private moment, when you look at this partner and realize he or she is your “family” and you can’t imagine a time when he or she wouldn’t be there.
Not everyone gets to this point, and sometimes it takes years to do so.
Hi Beth! Funny you mention that. I was saying that just the other day. The point about “family” — and that, for me, there is that family or “natural” feeling (not sure how else to explain it.) And I agree with you. It IS private. A private moment. By ceremonial I didn’t even mean a big flashy ceremony/party. I meant.. just the ritual of having to fill out a form.
Wow. Beth just blew my mind. That is so eloquently and succinctly put. I totally agree. That also reframes my reference for looking at the men I consider dating.
Thanks for that perspective (and reminder… I was in common-law with a partner for many years and when it broke I was devastated; it felt like a true divorce)
That reminds me… when a long relationship of mind ended and I was talking to a friend about it, she said “it was like a marriage.” I know what she meant.
Beth, I so agree. Soul unions are one thing, legal agreements another … unless you are very aligned with yourself, and lucky.
