The Significance of Astrology Between Leah Taylor and Richard Hathaway
Leah Taylor is Libra (born three days before the cusp of Scorpio on 21 October); Hathaway is Pisces (born the day before the cusp of Aries on March 20). The basis for the soul mate link they share is in conjunction and in opposition. They are six years apart in age; Leah is 36; Hathaway is 42; which means they are opposites in the Chinese Zodiac. Since Hathaway is born closer to Aries, this makes for an interesting opposing factor to Leah's Western Zodiacal sign, Libra. Hathaway's moon is square to Leah's sun, which can also present some potential conflict. Leah's moon is conjunct to Hathaway's sun, which is a source of comfort between them. This union of souls has the best possible potential for growth, coupled with the deepest level of empathy and understanding.
As a Libran, Leah is flirtatious. Her character presents herself as quite shy on the exterior, due to her past trauma and a seriously lacking self-esteem, but beneath that exterior beats the heart of a passionate woman. She has a taste for the fine arts, with an avid love of music. She is creative in all aspects and enjoys writing songs, singing and playing the piano in her spare time. She appreciates beauty in home décor as well as ancient architecture and nature. She has a strong sense of justice and desire to help others, more often helping those who are only out to take advantage of her, and this is why she has a trust issue.
Like Leah, Hathaway has past issues with trust for the very same reasons. His kindness and generosity is sometimes taken to the extent of ignoring his own wants and needs. He is also creative in many aspects. His Piscean ways also make him an excellent teacher. His interests include things that stimulate the intellect, to include psychic and metaphysical subjects. There is little doubt that he is an avid bookworm. He obviously has some psychological background, but has even more of an intuitive ability to tune in to another person's feelings. Being highly empathic in his Piscean nature, he is able to take another's emotions on to himself to the point that he mistakes them as his own, thereby losing himself in the mix. In love, he is very romantic, loyal, warm, caring and forgiving. But he has another side of him, too, that can be very jealous. Because he is loyal, he also expects the same in return of a lover. If he is ever betrayed in love, he has the capacity to hate with just as much passion as he has loved. But he tends to keep this under wraps whenever possible, since he does not like to go against the flow most of the time. He is far from a pushover, but his understanding nature makes him very forgiving.
Leah's moon is in Pisces, which means she is an empathic person, too. But her sun sign, Libra, helps her stay a little more grounded most of the time. Leah's moon and Hathaway's sun signs are conjunct; which means both of them are very in tune with each other on many levels, to include mental, spiritual and transcendent. They both have an idealistic view on the perfect mate, and may be sorely disappointed to know that the perfect mate does not exist! They also have the potential to be swept away and distracted by their passions for each other. For Leah, this means that when she is in love, there is little else she wants to focus her energies on. It is no secret that Librans are happiest when they are in a relationship. A lonely Libra may sometimes feel they have very little to live for, whilst a Pisces tends to pine over unrequited love.
Leah is easy to get to know; Hathaway is much harder to get to know. Leah will bare her entire soul before a complete stranger and when betrayed, she is not afraid to lay the blame where it truly lies. Hathaway will cry you a river in complete emotionalism if he ever feels the need, but the complexity of his nature makes him somewhat of an enigma.
Hathaway is very affectionate and may even seem a bit smothering to Leah. We see this when she pulls away from his passionate kisses from time to time. The Pisces in Hathaway thoroughly enjoys getting deeply involved in his kisses, and as such, he doesn't take kindly to them being interrupted!
Because of Leah's past relationships with men who didn't truly care for her, she is used to fast-paced encounters that lead directly to sex. By the time she meets Hathaway, she has grown weary of those fast-paced encounters and wants to take things slowly her next go-around. Unfortunately, she is not used to a man who actually wants to take the time to gradually work their relationship up to intimacy. Because she is unaccustomed to anyone loving her the way she needs and prefers to be loved, she finds it difficult to know how to respond to a gradual approach to intimacy.
Hathaway views Leah's difficulty with accepting love as an ideal opportunity to help someone else on a much deeper level than ever before. He is the type of man who generally knows what he wants and knows how to get it. Taking into consideration the images he sees in the looking glass that reveal Leah's unspoken feelings for him, he pursues her gently and steadily until he wins her.
These two lovers have the potential to lose themselves in each other, not knowing where one begins and the other ends. Their identities merge so easily that it would be difficult for either of them to know themselves without the other. Their union is very comfortable for them because they are alike in all the ways that they need to be to make it work and understand each other on the deepest of levels. Telepathic communication can be attained if they are willing to recognise and nurture the link that already exists between them.
So, then, why did Leah have a momentary fling with the 'Grey Ghost'?
With Hathaway's moon in Capricorn, he is able to come to his senses and pull away from anything that stands in the way of success and his pursuit of being the best at whatever his life work is. Unfortunately, a romantic relationship will suffer, too, if it ever poses a threat to his need to be the best. This is a definite source of conflict between Leah and Hathaway. While Leah can be appreciative of her space at times, she does not like to have a relationship completely cut off. She especially does not like the prospect of waiting for someone for years before resuming the relationship. If a Libra's needs are not being met in a relationship, they tend to seek greener pastures.
