As the high-minded idealists of the zodiac, no sign believes in the transcendent power of true love quite like Aquarius. These quick-witted souls are not so easily won over, but when they do get involved in a romance, Aquarians in love are one of the surest and most committed signs of the zodiac. As for how to seduce an Aquarius, it will take persistence and creativity to catch their eye. Ferociously independent and rebellious anti-conformists, those born under the sign of the waterbearer are notoriously slow to make hard-and-fast commitments, especially when it comes to giving away their heart. So don't try to rush an Aquarius into love — it'll make them feel awkward at best and sprint in the opposite direction at worst. These gregarious and socially agile signs collect friends like nobody's business. "Aquarians do tend to start with friendships and value friendships more than romantic relationships," astrologer Tess Lee tells NYLON. When looking for a partner, t...

LENEXA, Kan. — A record number of Kansas City couples are wanting to say "I Do" this year, but bridal shops and wedding planners say couples will be paying a lot more to tie the knot in 2022. "People always fall in love," said The One Bridal owner, Ashley Jones."They're always going to get married. The One Bridal opened in November of 2020, and Jones says sales at her store are up 30% compared to this time last year, but the supply chain crisis is taking a toll on her business. "It could be that they (brides) could come in one weekend and find a dress they love and the next weekend, we're not able to provide it if that lace is no longer available or shipping timelines have changed," Jones explained. The One Bridal carries several designer dresses. They say lace and other materials have been tough for designers to source. Before the pandemic and supply chain crisis, The One Bridal says brides were in good shape ordering their dr...

When it comes to how two people connect, chemistry is arguably the most important factor — and one way to gauge the chemistry between them is through astrological compatibility. Of course, there are tons of important things that dictate whether a relationship works or not, from life plans and communication skills to love languages. Even when looking at astrology alone, there are many important factors that go into assessing how two people will connect astrologically; however, comparing two people's sun signs can indicate a general camaraderie or frenemy vibe that describes how they align. Capricorn, the Saturn-ruled cardinal earth sign, is future-oriented, which means that people with a Capricorn zodiac sign focus on making plans and aligning with the person they adore. Odds are, the Sea Goat (Cap's symbol or mascot, if you will) will make a proposal that may seem a matter of fact to ensure that both parties are being given the respect they deserve and that is mutually b...

In 1938, the two stars ignited the screen in patriotic morale booster The Dawn Patrol about heroic British pilots in World War I. On the screen, they played plucky square-jawed chaps, idealised versions of an honourable, proper British male. The reality was very different. Apart from the fact that Flynn was an Aussie (born in Tasmania), the pair both became notorious in Hollywood for their voracious sexual appetites and had just set themselves up together in a home where they could indulge themselves freely. Flynn was already a major star after 1935's Captain Blood and the pair had starred together in The Charge of the Light Brigade in 1936. Niven's career was also blossoming fast. He gave credit to British actress Merle Oberon, with whom he lived during his first years in Hollywood. As well as teaching him about the craft and the industry, she wanted to marry him – but the young actor was having too much fun already with numerous affairs and did not want to b...

Lia Losonczy wasn't writing for anyone but herself. She was participating in a workshop that aimed to help health-care workers process traumatic experiences, and as an intensive care and emergency medicine doctor at two D.C. hospitals, she had accumulated plenty of those during the pandemic. The one she chose to pull from her mind and put into words that day involved a man in his 30s. She wrote about how she spent three neck-aching hours bent over him "pulling clot after clot out of his lungs" as the pictures of his children sat on his bed stand. She wrote about how afterward she went to the nurses station in the ICU, sat down and called his wife. She wrote about the words they exchanged. Losonczy allowed me to read that personal essay, and I asked her if I could share parts of it with you because it offers a powerful and raw glimpse into what health-care workers have been experiencing. It also presents a side of the vaccine issue that has been muffled by politics. The sc...

There is no other show that I enjoy quite as much as Friends . The episodes never fail to make me laugh (no matter how many times I've seen them) and, while I always love a good laugh, there is also no shortage of sentimental moments and Friends quotes about love to perfectly balance out all of the comedy. Basically, this show has it all, and it doesn't matter how long it's been off the air, I still can't get enough of it. It's certainly fair to argue that the central couple throughout the series was always Ross and Rachel, but that doesn't mean there weren't plenty of other amazing pairings over the years that left us with some fantastic Friends quotes about love. Obviously, we got to watch the amazing relationships between Monica and Chandler and Phoebe and Mike, but that just scratches the surface. Fans of the show will also remember love interests including Janice, David, Joshua, Emily, Tag, Kathy, Charlie, Richard, Gary, Janine, Mona, and so many more...

"In love there are two things: bodies and words," says Gemini and famous American author Joyce Carol Oates. Indeed, when astrologers look for love, we cast an eye at the heavenly bodies that inform attraction and attachment. Consequently, the interaction and angles of the planets within a birth chart influence who, what and why we love. Synastry is the art of comparing the birth charts of two people to determine compatibility and predict challenges. The placement of the moon which serves as our emotional touchstone, Mars, the planet of sex and aggression and Venus, the planet of love and attachment within the birth chart, help divine whether a relationship is rock steady or destined for certain ruin. Beyond the birth chart, a look at your Chinese zodiac sign can aid in understanding relationship dynamics. All signs, like all people, are capable of harmony and discord, attraction and apathy. Further, in my estimation, love i...
