It’s a typical case of the “love addict” and the “emotionally unavailable”.
Tom is the love addict and summer is the emotionally unavailable.

They attract each other like perpetrator and victim,

I think it is significant that in a scene early in the movie Summer states in a plaintive tone that her parents were divorced. It appears pretty clear that this had impacted her and her general view of romance and relationships in a quite negative way. I noted that in my relationship with my now ex-wife that her long-term view of our partnership in life – and specifically the potential for expectation that it could last forever – was much different than mine in the end. I am from a very solid family background in which my parents were always very loyal to each other and the family, and her parents were divorced when she was 8. It would appear that in order to protect herself from being hurt by separation, she had decided to remain somewhat guarded and less than fully committed to the relationship.

I observe irony in the fact that although Summer refers to Tom’s view of romantic relationships and his view and feeling that they were a couple as “fantasy”, she apparently fell in love and did a complete reversal from not wanting to be a girlfriend to being a wife, which indicates that she apparently fell in love with either her husband or the romantic notion of husband and wife and the actual sharing of life – which I would venture to say could be described as the essence of romance.

In her yearbook, summer quotes the song “The Boy with the Arab Strap” By Scottish band, Belle and Sebastian.
She quotes “Colour my life with the chaos of trouble.”

Whoever wrote that line is seriously misinformed, astrological influence on human life, extraordinary as it sounds is too swayed by pompous romantics which end up in the ‘no such thing as fate’ audiences’ heads.

The true essence of the whole cosmic art is that we are all in this together. We are an actual part of the universe, just as a human, just as a star.

Astrology should be given vigorous scholastic practise, instead of just playing with words people should actually approach it themselves and actually realise that it isn’t so generalized as they think.

Astrologers dont have time to study Barnum effects and cold reading methods, astrologers aren’t frivolous.

Astrology, the divine art form of the ancients , appreciates the human personality and it’s elaborate consistency.

The big misconception of fate which people follow is that FATE is apparently out to get everyone, that we have no choice etc.

Astrology has never implied that people have no choice, if we truly are left on own to make our successes then why isn’t everyone successful? Not everyone has the ambition and drive to achieve, due to what? a poor un-educated upbringing that renders the person helpless or stubborn, or someone who simply does not want any fame, just wishes to be passive for the rest of his life.

The only way someone can be convinced that astrology has any merit is when you actually have a natal chart composed, not just for yourself, but for your family members, then the correlations between theirs and your own will show.

If there is any contradictions within that report, then read it carefully as the human personality itself is full of many contradictions. At the end of the day all people, good and bad, love, adore, relish the idea of positive feedback from others on their sense of self. But dont let this supposed generalised, ‘we have something for everyone’ idea tactic sum up what astrology is.

Astrology isn’t perfect, it needs perfecting, it has never ever claimed it was perfect, it is an amazing tool to track patterns within the human spirit and it’s consequences. It IS mind boggling to think that Saturn so far away has any impact what so ever, has some sort of influence on peoples’ work lives, yet LOOK, ACTUALLY LOOK at history and you’ll find many patterns, patterns that grant a whole more attention than the pessimistic view point, ‘there is no fate’ this most probably coming from a working class mild mannered intellectualist, who dowdy and unkept sees Mother Earth as a transport for his brain, so he can discover more big monsters of scientific value, that in the end do quite little to uplift the human spirit.
