Often affairs start at work say the stats.  We all know that plenty of affairs do happen at work.  I have always been ablet to transcend these because as a dancer I've had to move pretty sexually with men while dancing and it's just work to us.

Have you  ever had to transcend feelings for someone you work with?  Have you been able to transcend these feelings or have you met someon at work and dated them?

Ha! I wish I could say yes! I never work with anyone attractive, LOL.

Mr. Gemini and I started at work. We've been dating for 4 years (we "broke up" once or twice, but I don't think either one of us stoppd being invested during those stupid periods).

But, yeah. It was pretty intense when we met, like a punch to the gut, so we were pretty "doomed" to be involved since day 1.

My life in the Navy was just peachy for the first 6 or 7 years, there was no women in my rating, weapons and explosives, then with the stroke of a pen women appeared.

At first it was ok, and then it happens you see your first woman in full combat garb, with the ballistic vest and helmet, the shooters gloves and glasses, and of course the M-14 rifle in their hands and a M1911 on there hip.

My My, you know Annalisa was the person that got me in to weapons, she outshot me as a teen with my own gun, so I practiced and practiced and got better, but alas the answer is in the question, because I married her.......she was sexy with that gun

I've dated co-workers. The worst is when an unhappy married man starts thinking you might be the answer to his problems. Luckly I handled it well, but it could have been aweful.

True, Tam!

yes, I've dated a coworker. I wouldn't recommend it. Especially since if the relationship ends you still have to deal with them everyday. It can be hurtful to be in that position--trust me. And it makes work an emotional roller coaster. At least it did for me.

I never hunt in my backyard.

No. Plus I have Saturn in the 6th house.

I guess I have a very Pisces view on this. I mean, partnering is important to me. If I find someone that affects me in a way that I want them in my life, I'm going to do what I have to to keep them there. I can't see that working together should prevent me from having them.

That is to say - they may be part of my life permanently; my job won't be. Jobs come and go and can be changed with sufficient effort. Finding people that hit me hard enough I want to be in a relationship is something special; I won't turn my back on that simply because we happen to work together.

I've had to keep from throttling my boss on various occasion. Also my boss' boss. But I don't think that's what you had in mind.

LOL Rachael haven't we all!

Ahahahahah @ Rachael! ROFL!

Wow, something in creative world I could totally see this being hard to avoid!

But for me, no, and I have worked with some very attractive men. But I don't know, wonder if there is astrology for this - I always view co-workers like siblings. No interest because it's just....no. Even if I recognize they are attractive or we're in sync in some way, I don't let myself view them as anything but a co-worker and therefore, hands off. And when I have felt a smidgen of similarity with someone....I limit contact as much as possible and don't have small or social talk etc.

Just never do this at work, or at home if in a building or complex. Never where it could affect your job/income/home.

lol, at Rachael!

luci, some of the best relationships begin at work!  It's true  that many long lasting marriages started at work.  Often people have much in common that work together.

Let me rephrase .... never where it would affect career. A job is a job. A career position is something else. To me at least.  Too much work goes into that.  Besides, I have a chart that doesn't exactly make love relationships priority number one so I'm screwed that way anyhow. Born to be a workaholic.

you are so  right, Caribou.  A career is totally different from a job and one treats it as such.

My first full time job I had a thingy with a peer co-worker,  dated for a good while.  No biggie.

But recently I had to get over the vapors for one of my bosses.  :::phew::: It was tough but it stayed so deep in the back of my brain no one would have ever guessed.  Way to professional to entertain those thoughts. 

sounds tough, daisy!

hahahahaha Annalisa that's the funny part, but keeping it that professional no one knew what you where suppressing so the fantasies where that much better.  It's like if it leaks out and someone *gets* it then you have to be really,  really, vigilant, and then it get's hard.  Really secret is so much more fun

ha  ha, daisy, so true.

Oddly, I'd say 90% of my relationships have been work-related. Or work induced. Both husbands, I met at work. I do crazy shit like have affairs with bosses. Or meet someone directly related to my work. I was attracted to almost every prof I had in university. Moon in Cap in the 6th????

Or is there a rogue planet I should be checking out?? Aquarius descendant. Neptune in the 4th. I don't know what all else...

But I am planning on NOT seducing the incoming boss. For one he's married with little children, thank fuck. If they pick the other guy, though, there might be some trouble in Michele-land.

I hang my head in shame.

poor Michele!  Sounds like a tough life!

Maybe I should get out more?

Yeah. It's weird to me that work is the site of all my romances and other lustful activities.

But work is always intense for me. And these intensities just... grow.

Hmm.

I have learned the hard way to not shit where I eat.

Now I can transcend like crazy.

Aqua Moon, Merc, Venus conjunct in the 6th (square Uranus/IC, trine Pluto & sextile Nep). Wound up losing a job once when I got too distracted by my interest in a Taurus co-worker with amazing eyes - after T. Uranus had trekked across the stellium and T. Pluto was sextile it, no less... That was one crazy/intense couple of years, and it took many more to get over the residual emotions.

I'm much more cautious now, but the antennae still pop up on occasion. Guess that will always happen.

yes and yes.  I agree with wildrose.

Michele - I feel the same way although not as intensely.  I was once told by an astrologer that I would most likely meet my future husband at work.  It was always in the back of my head until I got burned.
