You build a relationship by making plans, blocking out a span of time during socially acceptable hours and enjoying an activity or time together. Not on the phone, not through e-mail - those actions are a very small part of getting to know someone and are not the locus of a relationship. I speak from experience by the way. [ Reply | More

interesting that you are concerned with your old age as you have three planets in the 4th house and it is your ruling house and it rules old age. You may become more reclusive, but you will enjoy wealth in your later years (jupiter in the 4th house) and you will enjoy your home more and more as you age. Live near the water in your later years. In a six year now - good time to expand your family or buy real estate or enhance your home. [ Reply | More

you would make an excellent psychologist and many people with this placement major in psychology. You fear it as well, and may have commitment issues and issues with trust within sexual relationships. You love your home and on the flip side need a career to feel secure. You are in a seven year which is a very contemplative year - not an easy year as you will be questioning everything. Next year you will gain financially and have an easier year. [ Reply | More

^^My sister has this in her household. I think you can potentially decrease infection with some super-watchful hygiene....always, always wash hands as soon as you come in the house and always always before meals (and teach ds to do this at school). Make sure all food is washed and/or cooked well done. Make sure the refrigerator is set very cold. Bathrooms should be squeaky clean and wash all linens in hot water. Spray Lysol after any diarhea or vomiting. This may sound paranoid, but with 3 kids in the house, it may help prevent stomach bugs. [ Reply | More

look at your sources of food. many times mild food poisoning is mistaken for flu. some estimates are food pois. is actually more common. People don't realize it. Think about it, are there any places where you are getting take out food for dinner? I also have had more probs when I order pre-prepared meals from certain "fresh" food delivery places (don't want to name names). Probably the food you are preparing at home from scratch is fine. Look upon all pre-prepared food with suspicion, esp if your family has been getting sick so often. [ Reply | More
