ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "Now that I’m part of a couple (we got married last year), I find that I’d like to spend time with other couples – that way, I can spend time with my husband and socialize, too! But where do we meet other couples? It seems most of the people I meet at work are single. We are two Scorpios in love."
Everyone, regardless of sign, ahs been having trouble finding friends, and the problem seems most acute with young couples. The fact that you are both Scorpios – the sign that is considered one of the most self-reliant and reclusive of the zodiac – probably makes the situation more difficult. Since you are both of the same sign – and this is true of all partnerships with people of similar signs – you duplicate talents. Therefore, you can’t rely on the other person to bring diverse people into your life and vice versa. However, what this does do is make your choice of friends mutually suitable. You Scorpios find new friends usually connected with a hobby or a sport. Also, art plays an important role in your extracurricular life. Events or outings connected with artistic organizations would be a good place to start. Good luck!
