Hello fren, I'll keep this short, could you give an opinion about my love life? And how will 2022 fair in general?

There we go, that's what I been looking for.

Damn. Some really good signs here, but there's a couple things frustrating the matter.

Biggest problem here is that ascendant degree so early in the sign. When the degree of the ascendant is in the first or last two degrees of a sign, it creates an interpretative ambiguity which can interfere with clear results. In some instances the difference is minor, but here it changes everything, especially in response to this question. 

In this case, the question is whether or not to interpret the ascendant sign as being Gemini or Taurus - and thus by proxy marking the descendant sign as Sagittarius or Scorpio. This shouldn't be too hard to establish, because the way the houses shift between these two will lead to radically different interpretations.

You're an older guy, so you can answer me a couple things from your own experience that'll clear up some confusion on my end, and from there I can give you a straight answer about future predictions.

So first off, if we were to assume that the ascendant sign is Gemini, then that would mark Jupiter in Cancer as ruler of the seventh. This should have produced at least one decent marriage by your age, however with Mars in this position, it would have either led to divorce or she would have died prematurely.

On the other hand if we were to assume that Taurus were the ascendant, then Mars in Libra would be the ruler of the seventh, and it's in a much more unfortunate position. Here, I would expect someone like this to have most of their early relationships fizzle out before ever reaching the prospect of a marriage, or they would have had little to no dating life whatsoever in their early years. This is not only because Mars is in a bad sign and house(being in the sixth in this case), but since he has the lower degrees, he overcomes the positive Venusian implications brought by having Venus in her own sign.

First of all thanks for your fast unexpected reply.
During my youth I dated a lot of guys. One, at my 20s, lasted about two years and it was a quite strong relationship. After that one I had some affairs again, one or two more serious relatioships; but for the last 5 or 6 years I'm in complete celibate.

I'm a female, and I believe my ascendant is Gemini according to what I read about the quadrature between the Moon and Venus, and thus the source of my troubles throughout my life (problems with my mother/family)

That description sounds much more like the Taurus ascendant angle than the Gemini one, especially with the note on the mother. I've read from multiple parts in the tradition that the third house represents mother, as well as siblings, and since I've started trying it out in these threads I've gotten some pretty accurate hits using 3rd for mother and 4th for father. In a chart like this, the difference is more subtle since the third house in either case would be a little overbearing, but with Taurus ascendnat that puts Moon as ruler of the third, and moon is in Capricorn which is the sign of her depression. Even though Jupiter is present in the third house itself, because the ruler is in such bad condition(and afflicted by both malefics I might add) I would read the Taurus ascendant as having a much more difficult relationship with her mother in this case compared to the Gemini ascendant; although the Gemeni ascendant would have had difficulties with an overbearing mother, because it's Sun in his own sign with no affliction from malefics, it would still tend to be a more positive and supportive relationship. I guess the true lithmus test here would be to gauge your relationship with your father, and if you feel warmly towards him then that would settle the issue in favor of the Taurus. 

Besides that, I've taken to the custom that Venus is the marriage significator for men and Jupiter for women, and if Gemini were rising then there would be no symbolic reason that I could so for why things haven't worked out for you, since Jupiter would then be the only primary indicator for this matter, and there's nothing happening in this chart with Jupiter which would suggest the problems you've been having. Mars on the other hand is in dreadful condition, and the average between the two sounds like what you've described.

Anyway that's my rational, next post will have my predictions based on it.

Now to finally answer your questions.

Going by Mars as the lord of the seventh, I don't know if I can tell you things are gonna get any better than they have been in the past. Mars cools and becomes more temperate with age, but there's really not a lot helping his situation. I would say you're definitely in for more of the same, but whether things improve or change altogether at any point, I cannot say and I am not overly hopeful. Some of us simply do not find love in this life, and sometimes whether we do or don't is not within our control. Then some find love at fifty or sixty, after so many years given up, and it is all the more precious to them because of it. I've known people who had no successful LTR until their late forties/ early fifties, and I've known people whose second marriage at sixty was far better than their first at 32. These things happen as well, and they're not all that uncommon.

Now as for how 2022 will go in general, doesn't look too bad. That'll be an eighth house profection year with Jupiter transiting through the eleventh in Pisces at the start of the year. Could be a good time for work, a good time for public exposure, or a good time for money. After that it's gonna transit through your twelfth house of Ares starting in May, so that's gonna be a pretty noticable shift that's gonna feel pretty rough as it happens. Fortunately around August things will improve as you enter into a ninth house profection year with Saturn transiting the tenth through Aquarius. Closing out the year with more of the same you started with. So overall, looks like a good start, a weak middle, but you're gonna stick the landing. I suppose if you wanted to defy my predictions here and try for one last shot at love in your time, that's the last good chance to do it up until 2025 when Jupiter makes its return in Cancer - which in turn is the last good time to find love before you hit 50.

Good luck anon, and sorry I couldn't deliver better news.
