Three days ago, Nathaniel – my boyfriend and co-host of the Providence Moishe House – surprised me with an early birthday present: a 2-hour session with a fabulous astrologer. While discussing my chart, naturally we landed on the topic of Nathaniel and my relationship. Although our overlapping charts make 5 trines (three planets within the same element together forming an equilateral triangle), which indicates incredible romantic compatibility, we both have Mars in Scorpio, which makes us very competitive, manifesting itself as a difficulty engaging in intellectual discussions together. (Don't worry, this is gonna relate back to Moishe in a sec.) The astrologer suggested something Nathaniel and I had already been considering, namely reading a book, watching a movie series, taking a class, or doing some other intellectual activity together about a topic that is not too asymmetrically situated on either of our 'intellectual turf.' Meanwhile, as mentioned in my house post for this month, Nathaniel and I are recently looking to expand our programming into more Jewish learning. So when the astrologer gave his advice, of course I thought of Moishe, and of doing an intellectual activity oriented towards Judaism. As a Moishe House hosted by only two people in a romantic relationship, Nathaniel and I are well aware of our sensitive situation and the fact that it's the last of its kind. But in this case, our Moishe House goals and our relationship are beautifully aligned. So.....yo Moishe community, do you have any books, online classes, or other activities to recommend? We're thinking Kabbalah, but open to other possibilities.
