ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "The guy I’ve been seeing for almost three years is a Scorpio. Everyone in his life seems to adore him, but I’ve noticed his friends have only known him a couple of years. He seems to do a "house-cleaning" every two or three years. Lately he’s been distant. I feel as if I’m trying out for a spot. Am I going to make the cut?"
He wants more out of relationships but doesn’t know how to go about it. He has a tendency to be too generous with people as a way of getting close. Later, he resents the fact that they come to expect this from him and not give much back in return. The type of people he wants out of his life are those he feels responsible for, especially those who have come to depend on him for help whenever they need it. Anyone who continues to keep in touch with him in a gentle non-intrusive way and love him for who he is, and not for what he does, will "make the cut." Let him know he is loved and valued for himself, and that you’ll be there for him whenever he needs you. Being confident enough to give him space is key.
