ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "My birthday is June 12, 1976, and my problem has to do with love. Should I go out with someone I like very much but don’t seem to be physically attracted to at all? I keep thinking things will change in time. I think he’s attracted to me. His birthday is May 31, 1974. I know looks should matter. What should I do?"
Venus, the planet of love and sensuality, joined with Mars, the planet of lust and passionate emotions, are the two planets to examine in assessing the astrological basis for romance and attraction. Since Mars is more specifically about physical attraction, we’ll focus there. For you, Mars is deposited in the attention-loving sign of Leo. Your friend has Mars in the noble sign of Taurus. Leo and Taurus are both fixed signs, creating an unfavorable hard angle to each other. Your Mars in Leo says romance should be an exciting ride through bumpy waters. Physical attraction is a priority. His Mars in Taurus says stability and financial security enable you to be passionate. After all, luxury and opulence are sexy. If you don’t feel he would be fine with your friendship only, move on. When you meet someone with Aquarius, Libra or Sagittarius influences, you’ll know it. The attraction will be there for sure.
