Question 1
Hey Astropoets,
Hope you guys are well! Just wanted to get a reading on myself I guess for the remainder of the year or to see what the next few months have in store lol.
My Astrological placements are: ☀️ - Sagittarius 🌙 - Taurus ⬆️ - Capricorn Mercury - Capricorn Venus - Sagittarius Mars - Virgo
I have 2 questions. My main question and concerns are about my finances and my career, I feel like this year I have taken this aspect of my life a lot more seriously but I am curious. And the second thing would definitely be about my love life. Me and my girlfriend of almost 3 years broke up due to my lack of effort in personal growth, which is why I’m also going so hard right now. I just want to know what that’s gonna look like with her in the near future, are we done for good or what does my love life look like for me?
Thanks so much, have an awesome weekend!
Dear Sagittarius,
Thank you so much for your question and for writing!
It’s awesome to connect with your fire sign energy. You’re a Sagittarius sun, with a Taurus moon and Capricorn rising. This means you’re definitely governed by the main goals of a Sagittarius, which is to feel free and happy. But you’re also affected by an overwhelming amount of earth sign influences. Your moon is in steady and grounded Taurus and your rising and Mercury are in go-getter Capricorn.
You may feel a tension with these forces in terms of your main optimistic and breezy outlook on life, and a competing pressure to think practically. Your ambition is boundless and is aided by your Capricorn rising to get things done and excel at life. Your Capricorn Mercury helps you with this excellence as well, as your speech and writing tends to be focused, calm, and deliberate. When there is a task at hand, your Taurus moon and Capricorn rising and Mercury get the job done.
Your Sagittarius sun supplies you with plentiful ideas and drive. Your Sagittarius core may at times feel like it wants to be the star of the show and will push past your practical instincts. This can lead to great things, but it may also lead to some practical mistakes. However, your Sagittarius sun knows it will learn along the way.
In terms of love, your Venus is in Sagittarius. You can be impulsive and passionate in love. You might be really into someone one day—only to find that you don’t feel the same way the next day. Your Mars is in Virgo, which means that you are attracted to practical, loyal lovers, who give you enough space to be yourself but who also care about you deeply.
With your questions about career and love, we definitely think you are on the right path. Taking things more seriously is great. It’s important that you protect yourself from spending too much money too quickly, as your Sagittarius sun will want to experience everything immediately at all times. With your career, make a career plan with set dates and try to reach these goals systematically. Your Sagittarius energy has all of the pizzazz to make things happen, but your Taurus/Capricorn forces will be on your side to see your plans through.
With your love life, we’d love to know your girlfriend’s sun sign and other placements. It’s wonderful that you want to grow, but be careful that you aren’t doing it for her benefit. It’s hard to say what will work out with her, but we know it will if you want it to. You are extremely magnetic and maybe if you come back to her after some time, you both can reconcile. We hope that is what will happen, if that’s what you want.
If you’re looking for new love, we recommend a Libra with an earth or water moon!
Lots of luck to you!
Love,
The Astro Poets
Question 2
Dear astro poet friends,
Almost 20 years ago I had a brief and passionate fling with a man. It was love, unexpected but I was ready for it. Due to circumstances it had to end and I was heartbroken but I picked up the pieces, moved on, lived my life. We stayed in touch a little, the ember smouldered away between us over the years but nothing more.
Last summer I gave that ember a tiny poke and in moments it all lit up between us again. 20 years just disappeared with a kiss and now we’re as passionate for each other as we ever were. But the circumstance that kept us apart still exists and so we are stuck burning for each other but not together.
He is - Sun: cancer Moon: Scorpio Rising: Virgo Venus: Gemini Mars: Aquarius Mercury: cancer I am - Sun: libra Moon: Sagittarius Rising: Aries Venus: Virgo Mars: Gemini Mercury: libra
Why this person? Can we make it through this time and be together? We’re both creative artistic types. He is dutiful and plays it safe. I am decisive but guarded.
I feel at peace around him like no other person. Our chemistry is real and it feels grounded and somehow spiritual at the same time.
Signed,
A slightly singed Libra.

Dear Libra,
Thank you for being a paid subscriber! We love you!
Thank you also for sending us your love story! It certainly is so beautiful. We definitely believe that love and chemistry are outside of time. And that when you feel something real, 20 years can vanish in an instant—especially with a kiss!
Cancers are extremely charismatic lovers and it’s no shock to us that you feel so much around this person! They are so caring and empathetic and want to make everyone around them feel comfortable. This Cancer must do amazing things to make you feel special, which is what a Libra most wants. Cancers love to listen and Libras need to be listened to, so there is a lot between you that just works.
Astrologically speaking, Cancer and Libra have a forceful attraction, but do have some differences. They are both Cardinal signs, but Cancer is a water sign and you’re an air sign. Your Cancer is more outwardly emotional than you and will feel things very deeply. You feel things intensely, which is a slight difference and you tend to be more cerebral about your feelings.
Your moon sign is in Sagittarius and his moon sign is in Scorpio. This adds to his wateriness and deep emotions. He definitely remembers everything and has been thinking of you somewhat obsessively all of these years. He loves your energy and the sparks you bring to every room. He particularly loves to listen to you speak about things you care about and loves what a good and idealistic person you are. His Venus in Gemini is very attracted to your airy nature and tends to fall in love quickly. His Mars in Aquarius adds to his attraction to you and in many ways, he is always looking for someone just like you. Your Mars is in compatible Gemini, which is one of the many reasons why your kisses are so magnetic.
As mentioned, Libra and Cancer has a strong attraction, but they are very different. In brief affairs, everything will go super, but a long-term relationship might not be the same way. You’re both leader signs, so when there are things that need to be controlled, you will both try to control them. You might each try to set the pace of your day to day in your respective ways, which could lead to some conflict. With a love like yours, this surely will be able to be smoothed over, especially if you can talk it out. But without clear communication, you might fight a lot over who is in charge.
Your moon signs have a karmic connection and a strong attraction, but are also very different. When you really express your emotions to each other, you will find that they are coming from opposite places. We know you are in love with him, but he may not always know that as clearly. He needs a lot more reassurance emotionally, especially frequently, than you may realize. Taking the time to tell him how madly in love with him you are (and why!) will be good for the dynamic.
Without knowing the obstacle that keeps you apart, it’s hard to know if it is something that can be gotten over. Not to minimize whatever it is, but to romantics like us, it feels like whatever it is can be overcome. True love that hits you twice is worth trying, we feel.
We say go for it! (But again, this is easy for us to say.)
We wish you all the luck!
Love,
The Astro Poets
