Chart Analysis: Doomed to singlehood?

Susan provided a birth time and asked,

wondering why i have had so much success in the area of career, and one disaster after another w. relationships. am i doomed to singlehood?! (wouldn’t mind a kid too, but first things first!)

Susan, your two work planets (Saturn and Mars) — which are also the rulers of your Aries Ascendant and Capricorn Midheaven — are in a tight opposition, providing you the discipline to work through any obstacles that come your way.

Your Descendant (or Seventh House cusp) is Libra, and Libra’s ruler Venus is also in Libra, but in your Sixth House. Venus is in its own sign, which is a good placement. Placed in the Sixth House, you may feel that your relationships are intertwined with the idea of service. Although Libra concerns fairness and balance, the Sixth House is about power differences: mentor/apprentice, homeowner/service person, boss/employee. You may end up being involved with people who work for you, or vice versa.

Venus is also in a tense semi-square — a 45 degree angle — with Neptune. You may make too many sacrifices to meet your ideals in a relationship, only to be disappointed when reality sets in.

Your Libra Moon sits exactly on your Descendant, indicating a need for caretaking and nurturing in a primarily relationship. Your emotional well-being depends greatly on others, as this ‘planet’ is both in the sign and house of partnership. Do you people-please to much? Do you sacrifice your “ground” to get approval from men? Your Moon is also in tense aspect with your Saturn-Moon opposition (semi-square Mars, sesquisquare Saturn), which could manifest as difficulty getting your emotional needs met, irritability, conflict between career and home.

You are not doomed to singlehood. Bring some of your Leo Mars assertiveness into your relationships to help you focus less on putting others first. Also, a dose of Saturnian reality should clear the fog of illusions about love.
