Want to Get Your Ex Back?

Astrology can help you get back your love

Did you know Venus Retrograde is a great time to rekindle lost love?! So stop moping and crying, downing a pint of Haagen Dazs a night or starving yourself with manorexia. It's time to act.

Love can hurt hard, especially when the one you want is out the door. But if you weren’t so busy feeling sorry for yourself, you could get busy winning back your ex. But how?

There are some basic rules, of course. Practice patience, don’t act needy, maintain your dignity, keep up with your own life and your personal appearance, and just try to be the awesome person your ex fell in love with in the first place. Often, just moving forward with your own life happily is enough to make your ex think again about letting you go.

That said, timing is everything. And if you really want to maximize your chances of winning back a lost love, get Astrology on your side. Some dates and times are simply better than others for approaching an ex in hope of a happy ending.

Retrograde romance

Two of the best times for winning back a lost love are when Mercury, the planet of communication, or Venus, the planet of love, are in retrograde. When these planets appear to spin backward, people get more introspective and thoughtful about relationships and people and ideas from the past are more likely to resurface. That means your ex is more likely to be thinking about YOU, too.

Mercury goes retrograde three or four times each year, and Venus goes retrograde every 18 months. When Mercury is retrograde, it’s not the best time to start a new relationship, but you are more likely to find your exes looking back. They’ll be wondering if they made the right decision breaking up with you, and depending on how you behave (no whining or stalking or begging or crying), they may realize they made the wrong move.

And when Venus is retrograde (as it is in 2010 from October 8 to November 18), it’s an even more powerful time for past loves to come calling. This is the time to play it cool and let your ex come to you -- don’t worry, if it’s meant to be they will. Venus Retrograde is a potent time for lost love to re-emerge, and when it does, just focus on being your happy, confident self and see how your relationship redevelops.

Keep your eye on Venus

Venus is not just a love power tool when retrograde, but also when the Sun is transiting through the signs Venus rules -- Taurus and Libra. This happens every year in April/May and September/October, making these months a good time to reach out to an ex (and by “reach out,” no, we don’t mean “stalk” or leave pictures of kittens and rainbows on their Facebook page).

Look to an astrological calendar to find out the exact dates the Sun will transit Taurus and Libra, signs of stability and relationships, then prep to make your move. Send a casual note during this time suggesting you meet up for a coffee or cocktail. Then show up looking your best and on top of the world. Present the outward picture of confidence and vitality, and your ex will be more open to seeing exactly what they’re missing.

Librakitkat...You wrote every word for how it is for me as well.... I share your pain...I also want to practice Deborah's 6 month rule...however I'm the type to process for 6 years!! Knowing 'attachment is our greatest form of pain' doesn't make it a cake walk to release..Sometimes Karma needs to be played out so we know what NOT to do next time, and to have a chance to see ourselves more clearly...I too gave, and the other received, and all for Divine reasons...Love never dies, it just changes form. We humans are not taught the art of release, like Tibetan Monks who build exquisite Mandalas and when finished ~ they blow it to the wind.... Creations are eternal.... not just a one time event. Whether they are Painful creations or Harmonious is our choice. There are no answers, only choices.
Me personally, I've chosen to drink my brains out over Love many times. The only result is deteriorating mentals, and a liver hard at work... Damn that Neptune in Scorpio placement!!! lol

“Hello Dr Gboco! You were my last hope and after all the spellcasters I tried before, you were my last chance, and you kept your promise! My wife wrote me such a touching letter last week! She wants to live with me and the kids again! I really feel I’m living again! Thank you for making all this possible!” gbocotemple@yahoo.com

I have been reading so much about people getting back with their ex recently, I am exhausted. Basically, if they are with someone else respect them, if you truly love them you will want them to be happy and if their happiness is with someone else then that is were they should be. It does not matter how much you love someone, loving someone does not make a relationship work. If they come back through rejection from someone else does it mean they were meant to be with you? Should you put your life on hold for someone? If someone has moved on with someone else and you are left behind, are you really behind? After three years of being apart from my ex, not contacting him, praying he would contact me and try to make it work, waiting for his words of realization, breaking my own heart and his, wanting to put words in his mouth just to hear him say them to make it work, not being able to say how I felt through fear of him telling me what I wanted to hear, watching him move on, watching him fall in love with someone else, pouring my heart out to him. I have come to the conclusion that I do love him and want the best for him, I fear sometimes he may end up in a bad place. I do not want him to because I want to believe in his new love as he does, I want it to be real. As a friend I will always care for him even though we do not speak or see each other, If I saw him my heart would skip a beat as I know his would but our love was different. I gave and he took, my love was selfless and his was greedy, we were soul mates, my soul was torn as was his, he filled a void and I stitched myself together again. I am grateful that he was a part of my life, his friendship was the hardest part to let go of, he would never have loved me as I loved him and even if he came to me and said he could, I know no matter how much part of me would want to believe him. He could not.

Why bother, if they couldn't respect or appreciate your awesomeness when they had you completely, why waste your time. Give yourself permission to grieve, suffer, cry, whatever, for a few months, then move on. Move on and recreate a better, happier image of what you want in your mind, then act as if it has already happened. Wake up & give thanks for the goodness in your life now, and for what is to come. Be strong, have faith in yourself & project a smiling, happy, healthy image. Everybody loves a positive, happy person. So even if you're not there yet, fake it til you make it. Soon, you will start to feel the warmth within, and find the peace you seek. Have faith-- don't dwell too long on your pain. 6 months MAX! Then force yourself to start the "new & improved you" attitude. Take time for self reflection & redirect your thoughts toward better things to come.. Awaken with Gratitude daily, Smile, feed you mind & Soul positive self love. Project confidence & expect Good things. It will be come, have faith in yourself & look for the good. Block negativity. Be grateful. Love yourself first! Your Inner light will shine again once you forgive yourself and believe new love can be yours....Meet you out there!

From my own personal experience, trying to get back a lost love is just going backwards. It hardly ever works, and by going backwards you give up some wonderful chances to learn from the experience and go forth to find someone far more compatible. It is painful, but with pain we do grow.
