Jeff, I just saw this thread for the first time now -- or maybe I saw the subject line and skipped it because I know nothing about astrology.
I also know nothing about helping people through transitions, or how to tell for sure whether the people I want to date want to date me. No one has ever baked me a cake, and I defrag my own computer if and when I remember to. (I sound so pathetic that I have to mention that I am actually married, at least for the moment, and have been for 13 years.)
So anyway, I don't have any helpful advice to offer but I figured after reading through the thread I could at least offer my support and my hope that it works out for you guys.
