hope your respective summer is goin great? (as an aside does anyone else mis-type "intelligence" in the site address and then laugh at the irony? *snort*) i've had a very tough 2010 so far after one final death match with mr. not-so-wonderful, and five years evil was enough...and have finally walked away for good (mine). long boring story....suffice to say i'm dealing with my PTSD day by day.
interestingly, a familiar face has resurfaced as that was happening and i would like to ask for a little feedback. mr. soulmate from my old town wants to come visit mid-august, says he has not renewed his cell contract because he might not be there much longer, has not registered his teenage son for school there either....i'm skeptical and will believe it when i see it. much as i would love for this to finally happen, can't afford to get my heart crushed again. thoughts?

Of course, as you know, with natal Venus in the 12th, you have an assignment to do a lot of reflection upon how you relate, to notice patterns of mistakes, and to recognize and shift any blind spots that operate in ways that impede you from getting the results you want. It's never easy work, but often it's those "others" who are right there to be our teachers. Venus in Aries often has a fine line to walk upon in terms of being in relationship while being able at the same time to maintain a strong sense of Aries independence and self-direction. And, a 12th house Venus often needs alone time to get in touch with her feelings as well as to watch for balance in relationships (no victim/rescuer themes). So, before Mr. Soulmate arrives, be sure you've done some homework along these lines so you are better prepared to not fall into any of the same patterns that may have been troublesome before. Ok, so once that work is done, you may then be quite ready for some dancin' and romancin'. Your Progressed Moon is about four months into the 7th house and will remain there for roughly a couple of years more. This represents a time to bring your restructured self to relationship. So, you must be honest with yourself and with whomever else you are spending time. When Mr. Soulmnate comes around, you should explain to him the ways in which you have changed and what your needs and expectations are for relationship. Some of your new wisdom may be tested - with him or with other people who may show up over the next couple of years. But, you probably will have a chance to test your "new you" and your new approaches. (Since Saturn's been sitting on your So Node, you've probably been *encouraged* to get into the 12th house/Pisces mode of relinquishing control and doing more inner reflection). By the time Mars moves into your 7th (Sept. 15) things should heat up. Other interesting transits will be Saturn opposite Venus (exact Dec 2) when things can either feel solid and committed, or the opposite, and when Jupiter conjuncts Venus (March 2011). I think the best thing you can do is to step forward with the knowledge about yourself that you have accumulated to see what transpires. Keep expectations realistic. You have enough earthy resilience to do so! Please let me know how things shake out.
