Talking to the man you are dating
Explore attraction, communication and the choices that make a relationship feel right for you. These guides connect the astrology to questions you can bring into your own life.
How can you ask him for clarity?
Start with a recent conversation and the answer you still need. This guide focuses on how a woman can state her needs while dating a man, then notice whether he responds with consideration. Astrology can provide a prompt; his response supplies the observation.
For your relationship
- How can you ask him for clarity?
- Which observation would help you decide what to ask him next?
Keep your own experience in the picture. You can enjoy the symbolism and still ask directly for clarity, consideration and the kind of connection you want.
Bring it into your relationship
Choose one recent conversation and describe what each person actually said. Then separate the words from what you assumed they meant. An astrological description may suggest a difference in style, but a direct question gives him a chance to explain his own meaning.
