This is a podcast for navigating the ins and outs of modern midlife dating. Here, we will discuss the challenges that men and women face in today's dating world. Like many industries, this one is forever changing, and I believe this platform will help those who need or want it. Today, it is the best time to take control of your desired outcome, whether it is a marriage, significant other, life partner, or just to gain the confidence in dating once again. Every other week, we will dive in and talk about different viewpoints that seem to be challenges in today's dating arena.

So let's get into today's episode. Hi, and thanks for listening with me today on podcast number 14. So I wanted to talk today about the season of being a Virgo. Yes. You may have guessed that I am a Virgo. I mean, I really can relate to so many attributes that Virgos display. And I really thought that that was the end all be all for me. Like I was a Virgo down the line, everything matched, but I actually dove deeper into my charts and realized that I had so much more about me, about my personality. anyways this last weekend i visited a wellness resort retreat called miraval i'm not sure if

any of you have ever heard of this uh but they have three locations one in tucson arizona austin texas and in the berkshires in mass uh so i've been to the one in tucson arizona about a year and a half ago. That is their flagship location. That just means it's the biggest. It's the first. It has a lot of options. And now I've been to the Austin location since it's in my backyard. Why not? I really try and create balance in my life and focus on healing, pleasure, and obviously to do some introspective work. I really do believe that it helps me stay focused and grounded for my personal and professional life um you know they offer the absolute most amazing spa treatments ever that I've ever had and I've

had a few spa treatments um they offer some of the best and different types of exercise classes as well as cooking classes equine therapy challenge courses and all different types of meditations and unique forms of introspective work classes this time I had this spa Thai type of massage it's called naga it is only offered at Miraval and I'm not sure where it was created if it was in Asia somewhere. But it is like this deep stretch massage that you literally cannot have without this style. I mean, somebody steps into these like things that are hanging from the ceiling. So they're using their body weight, but not all of it. And they're holding on to this while they're massaging you with their feet, with their hands, they're stretching you.

It's absolutely amazing if you have really tight muscles, if you just want to be stretched. Anyways, I highly, highly recommend it. I get this, I get this the last couple of times and I'm super excited to go back and get it again at some point. I also enjoyed a deep tissue massage because I just absolutely love those. I got this amazing coffee pedicure and I got this nature's bounty, natural chia seed facial. And I even tried Reiki for the first time. I've always wanted to try it. I wasn't quite sure what would happen or what it would do, but I've heard really great things about it uh it is an energy healing practice so it kind of figures out like I guess the the practitioner is just the energy releaser or something I don't know I'm still a little like

not sure about it uh but it was interesting uh I enjoyed Pilates um which I used to take for years and miss very, very much. I just like the stretches and being an ex-dancer. I danced from the age of 14 all the way through college with as about ballet and jazz and a lot of Pilates instructors used to be dancers. So I think it's a kind of a great way to really lengthen your body and strength in your body. I also did like a bike class and a hike through the natural preserves surrounding the resort. And that was really fun. It was really good just to be in nature. Something about being in nature really kind of sets you and really kind of, I don't know, I don't know what it is because I'm just a city girl. So every time I go into nature,

it's kind of a struggle, but then I'm like so happy in there. Anyways, there's so many options to choose from that there's just literally not enough time you can go and just like load your schedule and just do all these things but anyways my whole point of this I took some very interesting classes but the one I really want to talk about today that really stood out to me it was a class that went over my astrological chart or any of anybody that was in this class and if you don't know what that is. Well, it's a chart that is unique to everyone. Based on the time of day, day of the week, your month, where the sun and moon were positions at the moment you were born. It is also where in the world you were born in the time zone. So I'm sure I'm not doing it justice,

but from this, you can kind of, this kind of chart, you can learn so much about yourself and how you interact in relationships. You have the sun, the moon and ascending or rising sign for me personally, obviously, like I said, it's a Virgo season. I was born in September and the Virgo sign is my sun sign. I found out that my moon sign is in Aries and that describes your comfort or past lives. And I found that my ascendant or rising sign is a Pisces. I was like, wow, that is a lot of information. And I apparently, there's so much more to learn than that. So I'm going to kind of go over some of the qualities and intricacies that these signs mean for me. And now let me preface, I did take from multiple websites for information. So I will

mention them throughout. It is said that your sun sign determines who you think you are, so your personality. Your rising sign determines yourself or your identity. Your moon sign determines your inner world, so the way you respond to external factors. Whereas your sun sign influences your dominant personality traits, your moon sign influences the way you feel about and process your experiences as well as how you then respond and regulate your impulses and emotion your sun sign placement determines your strongest most noticeable personality traits your sun sign represents your conscious mind and life force as the sun itself is known as the giver of life the sun is your ego as well as your point of reason when making decisions just

Just as you find your life's purpose from looking at the sun, your sun sign provides the motivation driving your actions. Overall, the sun directs you on the path you should travel and represents your vitality as a person. And while it is the main sign in your birth chart, your chart contains other planetary placements that are important in your unique personality.

Your moon sign, rising or a sunnet sign, your Mercury sign, your Venus sign, your Mars sign, your Jupiter sign, and more. like i said it's quite complicated but okay so let me just go over about my sun sign virgo this may relate to some of you virgo stands out for its analytical nature attention to details patient outlook and gentle spirit they work just as hard as the other earth signs but are focused on the bottom line and making sure everything is done to perfection due to their superb organizational skills.

We are ruled by Mercury, which is like a cosmic detective who will uncover truths and help others gain clarity when needed. We won't rest until matters are unearthed and revealed. And this sign won't necessarily go snooping, but we'll pay attention to the details in order to make a case for their claims.

So at work, we really are great colleagues. We like to get to know our colleagues and are always the first to ask about their weekend. We're really reliable and loyal. And we revel in working in a group which will always cheer on their coworkers. And we are always coming up with innovative ideas and looking for the next best thing. Now, Virgos in love are specific about the type of person they commit to, but they enjoy having fun with possible romantic contenders along the way it can be hard for us to commit but once we do we're in it for we're in it to win it

um many of us are overly critical and nitpicky due to their due to our meticulous nature and as such dating and relationships can be difficult but however we are incredibly loyal and won't run at the first end of conflict. And when we love, you'll know. So that's a little bit about the sun sign Virgo. Now I wanted to go into a little bit about the moon sign. So your moon sign is one of the most important aspects of your astrological chart. It explains how you connect with others on an emotional level, acting as an emotional compass while influencing your experiences and perspectives on your relationship with others, especially your love life, as well as what you need to feel safe and secure. So mine happens to be an Aries moon. People born with the moon

and Aries are idealistic, fiery, and energetic. They're quick to easily fall in love, short tempered, easy to forgive. They're swift, enthusiastic, and impulsive. And they seem to be full of energy, dedication, and passion. So this kind of contradicts a lot of the Virgo, but I have a lot of Virgo and apparently the moon is very important. So I see a lot of Aries in me as well. Now, let me go into what they mean when you say you have also a rising or ascendant sign. And that can be telling, can be a telling indicator of the way you appear to others. think of it as everyone's first impression of you. So your rising sign governed your physical appearance, your mannerisms, and overall way you project yourself. The ascendant sign also rules

your first house of the self in your birth chart, which represents your body, outer appearance, and temperament. However, remember that genetics, habits, and aging process of life influence your appearance as well. So take these descriptions with a grain of salt. So I am a Pisces rising. And what that means is the Pisces rising is kind, receptive, and sometimes lost looking. The persona can seem diffused and changeable. I often morph into a new mask to match the company with this changeable mutable rising um i am impressionable and easily overwhelmed by stronger personalities so that's just a little bit about it uh so let's go let's get to the most awesome part of all astrology in my opinion and that is your venus and mars this has to do with

your love life. So obviously, let me tell you a little description that I found online. Your Venus sign illuminates your values and desires surrounding love, romance, intimacy, sex, and belonging. It reveals the deeper facets of your love language and how you convey the most magical feeling that exists on the emotional spectrum. On the other side is Mars. which describes passion, how we actually put action behind what we value and desire, how we find it. So Mars in your love life can show what activates you, what triggers a need to chase or be around a person. And that's from zora.medium.com. Now to top all that off, my Mars and Venus sign happens to be in the same sign, which is Libra. It means that they

are aligned at the same time I was born. So if your Venus and Mars sign are in the same or fall in the same element, it doesn't get spicier than a Venus-Mars meetup because Venus rules our love language and Mars rules sex, among other passionate topics. This connection means there is innate carnal attraction present. PopSugar.com. A little bit about me is Venus and Libra makes me a true romantic to the core. I thrive in relationships and I'm often looking for a mirror image or perfect partner. Because of this placement, I crave balance, peace, and being surrounded by beauty. So true. I strive to keep the peace and establish harmony wherever I go. And it's so interesting because if I look at my past relationships, I really have had an

unbalance or an inequality in them. If it wasn't an age difference, it was finances, education, or some other values that I found was very important to me in my life. I realize now that I'm very much looking for this in a partner have you ever dated based on your astrological sign or have you ever thought by some people would really work why some people would really work well together and others completely are disconnected I know I have and I'm just not sure if that plays a role but this could be a factor that will match you to your perfect partner. First, you should understand your natal chart though

and what that means for your personality, your traits, how you deal with people, how you deal or what you crave in your love relationships. If we start with ourselves in any capacity, it gives us confidence and power to be able to navigate relationships with more clarity. When we decide to start dating, I know that so many people may look for the missing pieces of themselves and others. I know I have like, oh, this is perfect. Now we're whole, but that's totally a big no-no. That's so wrong to do. We have to be complete before we can find our partner. they cannot fulfill us in that way they cannot fulfill those holes that maybe we're lacking

we can't find that in another person only when we are whole and confident and are healthy can we truly attract the right partner astrology is not everything but damn if it's not spot on for me i will be looking in the near future to explore this some more so that i understand what it is that I desire and what it will take to get that perfect partner for me. I hope that it was helpful or at least interesting. And I recommend that everybody should just get a chart reading. Why not? It just explains so much about you. And sometimes we need a little bit of help understanding why we do the things we do, how we do them and how we can overcome that or who we can be attracted to and why we're attracted to that person. I just wanted to list a few other

resources. I got this information from stylecaster.com, yourtang.com, cafeastrology.com. Anyways, have a very beautiful day. Thanks for tuning in to today's episode.
