Question:

I am a very pretty 21 year old Taurean girl. I know a 20 year old super cute guy who lives on my street. He always used to stare at me for the past 3 years. I am very shy, and I don’t talk to any guys on the street. To look nice in front of that guy I don’t even talk to the guys in my building. We almost always keep looking at each other, sometimes even for hours. He is always discussing me behind my back with his friends and I feel he likes me. But he is from a different caste, moreover he is younger than me.

He came and spoke to me once and ever since then, we have exchanged pleasantaries when we bump into each other. Now I am starting to get really very restless, and all I can think of is him. I keep thinking of him all the time. If I don’t see him I become very sad. I was otherwise very good at studies but now I can’t even concentrate.

Is there any way I can get him to come to me and acknowledge his feelings?. Or can I go and tell him somehow without making him feel I am very needy? Please don’t tell me to forget him!

Nina Gryphon:

When I read your e-mail, I couldn’t help but think “that is so cute!” But I can also sympathize with how you feel, mainly because I, and every other female who has ever lived, has been there. Before we get into your reading, I would just want to point out that I don’t know all the rules on castes, so I don’t know what is possible in terms of a relationship with someone outside of your caste. Is it feasible for the two of you to get married? Would your parents freak out and disown you? When I do the reading, I am going to treat the relationship as a Western relationship, in the sense that I will not go into the caste issue unless it comes up in some obvious way.

I cast a chart for the moment I understood your question, which is a technique known as horary astrology, by the use of which one can answer questions without knowing the person’s birth data. This method, which has been around since the ancient Greeks, is especially good at answering specific questions about a specific person, such as yours.

In this horoscope, you are shown by Mercury in Libra, while your level of physical attraction is shown by Venus in Virgo. Your emotions are shown by the Moon in Cancer. The guy is shown by your seventh house of partners, and its ruler, Jupiter in Scorpio. His physical attraction and desire to find a mate is shown by the Sun.

What is interesting in this horoscope is that Venus in Virgo is in the detriment of Jupiter. Therefore, Venus dislikes Jupiter. While you may be physically attracted to him, you know that your relationship could never be, and marriage to this guy is not possible. Notice that Venus is within 11 degrees of the Sun; Venus is under the Sun’s beams, and the Sun is in the fall of Venus. It looks as though your deep attraction to this guy is overwhelming your judgment, and as you mentioned, it is afflicting you. Emotionally, you are definitely infatuated with him; the Moon in Cancer is in the exaltation of Jupiter. This very well describes your ga-ga feelings about him, and that you are putting him on a pedestal. Jupiter in Scorpio is not very strong, as it does not have very much essential dignity. This tells me that he cannot possibly live up to your high expectations and fantasies. Moreover, Jupiter is in the fall of the Moon, which tells us that he cannot do a lot in this situation to live up to your expectations.

Thus far, it doesn’t look as though he is very interested in you. However, when we look at the Sun, which shows his physical attraction and urge to find a mate, we see that it’s in Virgo, and therefore is very interested in Mercury, which is you in this horoscope. Mercury, however, is in Libra, the fall of the Sun. This means that Mercury has little regard for the Sun; intellectually, you know it could never be. Here is another piece of evidence showing that you know the two of you could never have a serious relationship.

Will the two of you ever get together? The potential is there, but I don’t think it will amount to much. The Moon is applying to sextile Venus in the 12th house. Because Venus is in the malefic 12th house, it shows you are not in a position to act. After meeting Venus, the Moon will trine Jupiter, translating the light between Venus and Jupiter, and connecting the two of you. Ordinarily, this might show at least the chance for a relationship, but Jupiter is cadent because of its location in the third house, so the guy is not in any position to act, either. What is more problematic is the difficult mutual reception between Venus and Jupiter; the two planets are in each other’s detriment, showing not much of a bond that would make the relationship last. Perhaps this refers to the problematic caste situation between the two of you — you each know the other person is unsuitable.
