• When to find love?
• Where to find love?

And that's it... Well, ehh,... almost ;-))

While it should be no secret any longer to know where to find love, the question on when to find love still remains open.

Though we discussed the question when romance or love will be in the air by checking some specific degrees in your progressed horoscope, some other simple methods were still missing.

Not for long anymore as you will find here some very simple and straightforward methods that will give YOU the opportunity to look up for yourself when to find love!

Just know that part of this article has been published before in our monthly Love Letter (Issue #16 of April 2006). Yes, our subscribers are always informed first ;-)

• Check the transiting Venus and Mars positions
• Check the progressed Moon-Venus aspects
• Check transiting Jupiter and Saturn and the ruler of the 5th house
• Check the position of the progressed Sun or Moon
• Are you in a Venus love cycle?
• Check the progressed Moon-Vertex relationship

Check the transiting Venus and Mars positions

Whenever both the planet of love (Venus) and the planet of instinctive drives and desires (Mars) transit your Sun sign, romance can be in the air. These are periods in which attraction rules and when you can increase the odds of finding love.

Also, when both transiting planets are in a sign that trines your Sun sign (i.e transiting Venus and Mars are in a sign of the same element as your Sun sign), it's a good time to find love.

The trine is a "no friction" aspect and love may enter your life "as unexpectedly as a thief in the night."

For your convenience, with the help of Solar Fire Deluxe, we have calculated the dates when both transiting Venus and transiting Mars are in the same sign from 2006 till 2010, so that you can easily look up the dates when to find love!

• October 1 - October 23, 2006: both planets are in the air sign Libra (favorable to Gemini, Libra or Aquarius)
• October 25 - November 17, 2006: both planets are in the water sign Scorpio (favorable to Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces)
• December 7 - December 11, 2006: both planets are in the fire sign Sagittarius (favorable to Aries, Leo or Sagittarius)

Check the progressed Moon-Venus aspects

Another very simple way to answer the question when to find love is by taking a look at your (secondary) progressed horoscope (1 day for a year).

If you don't have any astrology software to calculate your progressed charts, just visit Astrodienst's Web Site to get your free progressed charts, and so much more.

When to find love is easy because any time the progressed Moon aspects Venus with an orb of 1° love and romance may be in the air. Use all the aspects that are a multiple of 30, starting with 0° (the conjunction) and disregard the square (aspect of 90°).

Also, do not underestimate the converse progressions, they are as valuable as the direct progressions -- if not more!

Check transiting Jupiter and Saturn and the ruler of your 5th house

Whenever transiting Jupiter and Saturn both make a major harmonious aspect (conjunction, sextile or trine) to the ruler (or co-ruler) of your 5th house of love, be prepared for an important and radical change in your love life. Use an orb of 3° and list the periods when both planets build such a soft aspect to know when to find love.

Note that we use the Topocentric house system because this system has giiven us the best results. Also try out the equal houses as they are most valuable too and give some additional information.

Also note that Aquarius, Scorpio and Pisces have two rulers:

• Saturn and Uranus rule Aquarius
• Mars and Scorpio rule Scorpio
• Jupiter and Neptune rule Pisces

Often, the outer planets, Pluto, Neptune and even Uranus conjunct, sextile or trine the ruler of the 5th house may bring a profound change too. Uranus is often more short-lived though.

Check the position of the progressed Sun or Moon

This rule is quite simple too if you want to know when to find love.

If you're a woman, check if the progressed Sun conjuncts your natal MC. Don't forget to take a look at the converse progressions too!

If you're a man, check if the progressed Moon conjuncts your natal MC. Don't forget to take a look at the converse progressions too!

Often, this way the Lights indicate when to find love when they culminate by bringing the archetypal male or female principle in the spotlight.

Are you in a Venus love cycle?

In our March 2005, Issue #4 of our Love Letter we discussed the 8-year cycle of Venus, planet of love.

Indeed the ages of 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48 ... (and all multiples of 8) are ages ruled by Venus, planet of love, relationships and encounters. In these ages (new) friendships and, eventually, love almost always will come your way...

• If your solar return for one of these ages shows favorable aspects to Venus, your love life may prosper for the coming (eight) years.

• If your solar return for one of these ages shows unfavorable aspects to Venus, your relationships may bring sorrow and/or endings in the coming (eight) years.

There is something else too about the Sun-Venus Synodic Cycle.

If the transiting Sun-Venus conjunction is exactly conjunct one of your personal planets or points (Sun, Moon, Ascendant, MC, Pars Fortuna, Mercury, Venus or Mars) expect a profound change and transformation in your (love) life, the more far-reaching when Venus is retrograde!

Below you can find the transiting Sun-Venus conjunctions for the next couple of years so you can check whether or not this duo conjuncts any of your personal points:

• March 30, 2005 at 10° Aries (Venus direct)
• January 13, 2006 at 23° Capricaorn (Venus retrograde)
• October 27, 2006 at 4° Scorpio (Venus direct)
• August 17, 2007 at 24° Leo (Venus retrograde)
• June 8, 2008 at 18° Gemini (Venus direct)
• March 27, 2009 at 7° Aries (Venus retrograde)
• January 11, 2010 at 21° Capricorn (Venus direct)
• October 28, 2010 at 5° Scorpio (Venus retrograde)

Check the progressed Moon-Vertex relationship

Check if, and when, the progressed Moon is EXACTLY (in the same numerical degree) conjunct your (natal or progressed) Vertex. This configuration also tells you when to find love!

The Vertex is said to bring "fated encounters", which we have found to be almost always true, one way or the other.

Also, don't underestimate the influence and importance of Venus or the ruler of your 5th house of love conjoining the Vertex regarding your love life.
