Read More »It’s not exactly the most cheerful way to ring in the new year. For years, January has unofficially been dubbed Divorce Month. Many legal experts believe that the reason for this trend boils down to one idea: the holidays. People don’t want to get divorced during the holidays. If couples, especially those with children, have started to consider divorce before the holidays, they make a point of staying married through the end of the year so their family can have one last holiday season together before they split. Watch out for these signs that your marriage is headed for divorce. As Russell I. Marnell, principal lawyer at the Marnell Law Group told Reader’s Digest, the holidays lead to an increase in January divorces in a combination of ways. “Stress levels during the holidays are exacerbated by the stress of the marriage and they don’t want to deal with both of these situations,” he said. “A couple that is struggling to maintain a marriage may often be prompted to consider divorce as part of one or both of the partners’ self-evaluation that comes with the new year. Many people make New Year’s resolutions to put their personal lives in order, even if that includes ending an unhealthy marriage.” Others may get so swept up in the alternate reality of pretty lights, joyous music, and surplus merriment that they believe they can really try to make their relationship work. But once the clock strikes midnight on January 1, real-life problems start piling up again like snow on the county courthouse. “Another reason why people divorce in January is tax issues,” Marnell said. “You may have filed a joint tax return in the past and you don’t want to deal with that going forward. You may want to get any tax issues resolved before the year’s end.” Taxes certainly aren’t the only excuse couples are giving these days. These are the top 10 benefits of being divorced. This trend is not just an urban myth, lawers definitely notice the January difference. Marnell adds, “The University of Washington did a study showing most divorces filed in the state happen in March. That may be due to the time lag of several months from the first meeting with a lawyer in January to then preparing and filing with the court the legal documents necessary to start the divorce action.” Family law attorneys Kelly Frawley and Emily Pollock from Kasowitz Benson Torres LLP shared this with Reader’s Digest: “We don’t necessarily see an influx of new clients in January, but it is common that clients who have been on the fence about whether to file a divorce action or even start the discussion about divorce with their spouse, may use January as a starting point to move forward with the process.”

Read More »The most important planets/luminaries in synastry are the Moon, Venus and Mars. The Moon rules the emotions and the way each individual responds naturally, making it an important factor in love relationships. Venus rules the love nature and determines what type of partner a person is attracted to.
The Sun and Ascendant are also critical factors in synastry. The core personality of each individual is expressed by the placement of the Sun sign, while the outer demeanor is expressed by each person’s Ascendant. What makes the Sun and Ascendant so important in synastry is that they are more immediately recognizable than any other planets when two people first meet. In the beginning, people are attracted to each other based on the interaction between their Sun signs and Ascendants. It is only after the two people have interacted for a while that the traits of the Moon, Venus and Mars sign become apparent. Basically, the Sun and Ascendant attract two people to each other while the Moon, Venus and Mars determine whether the attraction is strong enough to sustain a relationship. Aspects Conjunction (planets are in the same sign) – This aspect brings two like forms of planetary energy together, amplifying the effect on each. The conjunction is the most powerful aspect in synastry and can produce either harmony or disharmony depending on the planets involved. Too many conjunctions between two birth charts can create tension because the people involved are too similar. Trine (planets form a 150° angle) – This is the most positive aspect in synastry. The trine creates compatibility and a harmonious blending. Despite the clear compatibility of this aspect, it contains the risk of boredom and repetition in the relationship. The two energies blend together so easily that the relationship may be lacking the passion or urgency accompanied by other, more challenging aspects.
