Looking back, a large portion of my exes probably weren’t relationship people. In fact, of the ones that I talk to, every single one is still single with a trail of failed relationships, broken engagements, and false starts. Yet, some of them still try to be in relationships, despite the fact that they really don’t seem to be into commitment, marriage, or anything that the lifestyle involves. Most of them are unhappy being single, and even more miserable when coupled....

When you can’t seem to stop thinking about someone, it’s only natural to wonder if they’re thinking about you, too.

After you get your adorable puppy, the first step is to find a name that perfectly suits her personality. You should put thought and consideration into this decision since it’s what you’ll be calling the dog for years to come. Don’t use a name that sounds similar to a command. For instance, a dog named “Kit” could get confused when they hear the command “sit.” Many pet owners also pay homage to their favorite movie characters or T....

After you’ve spent years experiencing body hatred, it may feel like the only other option is body positivity. That’s a big leap to expect from people. For most of us, body hatred is a given and body positivity feels impossible. There is another option: body neutrality, and the focus is not whether we love or don’t love our body’s appearance, but rather to acknowledge the purpose of our body — that is it allows us to live....

This is a serious head trip of a transit, and it will have us changing our minds again and again. Especially for the zodiac signs who change their mind bout breaking up during the Moon leaving Taurus entering Gemini. The feeling of uncertainty is what will be driving certain signs towards insecure decision-making, especially in terms of our love lives. We may feel an impulsive desire to break up with the person we’re presently involved with, only to regret that choice instantly....

Well, maybe not smelly, but big! And, as predicted, in love, we will be throwing out the trash, so to speak.

Because Sagittarius is oftentimes associated with bluntness and independent behavior, it is also a strong transit when it comes to weeding out the people in our lives who are no good for us, in favor of those we can call ’tribe.’ Moon in Sagittarius acts as an assistant; if we are looking for someone to love, to be loved by someone trustworthy and true, this is a very good transit by which we can find that person....

In fact, several zodiac signs who see heartbreak during Mercury opposite Uranus from November 13 to November 18, 2021, will be impacted.

And, for three zodiac signs who will have a great day on November 9, 2021, this is a wonderful time for a change. Joining this astrological energy are two other transits: Mars conjunct Mercury and Mars square Saturn. Mars is the planet that rules the masculine, he governs our deepest passion, motivations, and ambitions to take action on the things that matter most to us. Mars doesn’t give up. He doesn’t waver in this determination yet does remain flexible in his plans....

Depending on what your zodiac sign is, you may feel the effects of these transits very strongly. And while this day doesn’t seem to look particularly upsetting, it may end up as a day where things just don’t go right.
