Hello to all signs!

We’re back with another installment of chart readings. If you’d like to send us your chart, you know where to find us: astropoets@gmail.com.

(Hope you enjoy this wild photo of The Lagoon Nebula, also know as M8, located in the constellation Sagittarius. It’s approximately 4-6 thousand light years from earth and in the general direction of the center of our galaxy!)

Love,

Question 1

Dear Astro Poets,

I hope you are doing well. I first wanted to take a moment and express my gratitude for your writing and wisdom. I have been subscribed for a few months now, and feel so guided and comforted by all of your content, and my passion for astrology has grown exponentially as I read your Love Sign and Chart Readings. I am obsessed. So, speaking of obsession...

I have a new found crush which I can only describe as what feels obsessive and delusional. A few months ago, maybe mid-October, a cute girl messaged me on a queer dating app. During Halloween, we matched again on another dating app (lol). At the time, I was occupied with school, and fleeting feelings from summer flings I had in Europe (where I am now, to finish research). I had messaged her back, but for some reason things never launched and I wasn't bothered by it.

I think it was the last few weeks of November when I realized that I had been following her on Instagram for a while, even before we matched on the apps. She is an artist and makes incredible local art, paintings and sculptures. To make things short, one tipsy night, I messaged her again after this realization, and she asked me to text her. We had a brief text exchange where I expressed my interest, but did not ask her out, and she reciprocated but was still aloof in many ways. I have gathered from her profile that she is a ~casual person, while I know that is difficult for me. I haven't messaged her since, but social media games have occurred (watching stories, liking a picture here and there) and now I feel obsessed, but unable to do anything. This is mostly because I am spending the month in Europe, and I am too frightened to start the conversation again and dissipate the spark before I am physically close to her, if that makes any sense. I feel intimidated and to a certain extent, "starstruck". I also have a lot of happy feelings as a queer woman, it just feels really validating to be seen by another queer woman, for some reason. 

I catch feelings quickly, and my crushes usually burn strong and derail everything. I've dreamt about her, or at least someone representing her, at this point. It just feels insane because I really do not know her! So I suppose my question is...should I just leave this as a crush? Should I message her when I am back in the United States? And what do I do with this volcano of emotion in the meantime?? I have been reading your Love Sign pair reading on Cancer and Sagittarius, and as a typical Cancer, it is taking everything in me to play it cool (even though I want to scream into a pillow).

I guess I also want to add that I am somewhat living socially isolated, Budapest has my heart but I don't have a lot of friends here, and my fling with another girl has dissipated, or at least I think it has, so I am just trying to focus on writing my thesis and gathering footage and interviews for my project.
