Gotta Quit Second-Guessing Myself
I quickly threw it into a chart program and realized that I REALLY need to quit second-guessing myself, because as you can see - Steve IS an Aries rising (as I originally mentioned) -
but noooooooooooooo...
I tried to get all philosophical and creative, letting my imagination and sagittarian mouth run.
But anyway - for some of you who follow astrology, I thought this chart might interest you - because it's like...... all there.
Peace.

Crocodile Hunter Shocks Again...
My thoughts and blessings move from him, and then to his family of his wife and two beautiful children. What a dark day for them. But, he loved what he did for a living, and died doing it. Who could ask for a better way to die?
There was a commentary tonight on the news that talked about why people like him are drawn to danger and risky adventures. They noted that it's something in your brain (I didn't catch the complete scientific word), along with another being genetic, and that it's a reward for thrill seekers. They continued to call these kind of people creative, along with rule breakers, who like to push the limit.
I call these these kind of people - Aquarians.
So after the shocking news, I did a real quick check and googled in "Steve Irwin birthday" and got February 22, 1962. Everything that they described him as on television, verified his Aquarian/Picses personality! Pisces as his dreamer side, but I would probably focus more on his Aquarian side as the rule-breaker, the independent, the thrill seeker, controversial, and the rebel. This is everything a Uranus stands for - and they are damn proud of it! And they should be. Change is good.
I found delight when I watched his Pisces glow as he watched his family on different interviews. He dropped the fearless act and became all mushy with love. He looked so adoringly at his family. Perhaps his Pisces gave him those pair of rose-colored glasses that helped him to dream the impossible dream, thinking that he was invincible.
For the heck of it, I decided to pull some cards on him, asking why he did it all. Call me weird and maybe even creepy, but looking into a person at a dark time is interesting to me, and it also takes some of the darkness from it all - and lightening the mood. Anyway, I pulled the eight of pentacles, the Fool, and the ace of pentacles.
Well, it's no doubt that financial gain was involved, (he had a Virgo moon too), but that is not the root of his reason. Basically he had true skill, raw courage, and talent for what he did.... and he would have done the whole act anyway... whether cash was involved or not.Why? Because he IS a thrill-seeker, and a natural one at that. He loved to take risks, and he loved challenges. He felt he was quite capable of handling whatever may have come his way - and usually succeeded.
Notice the Fool in the center of the reading? The stunt that he pulled when he brought his child into the crocs' den.. As a mom, I thought he looked like a fool doing something like that, but he's a trained entertainer, and obviously felt quite safe and capable of the act. As a thrill seeker, he not only challenged the croc that day, but also the crowd. He knew what he was doing at that time, and aimed to shock. And THAT he did.
But if you watch the folks ruled by Uranus... Uranus loves to shock. And they are tickled pink to shock you again and again. Usually when they shock, they do it big. They like it and do it for the attention. The Fool dancing in the cards represents Uranus. I looked up some quick planets for his chart, and noticed he has FOUR planets in Aquarius... so that's definitely alot of shaking that surrounds him. His Mars is in Aquarius just LOVES to push the limit, while Jupiter in Aquarius is his back-up system up when he decides to do it BIG. Then with Mercury in Aquarius... well... this would just be something that I would say that he KNEW what he wanted to do, and that this was in his blood, and no one would have stopped him. He knew what he was good at, and he entertained us tremendously with his skills.... and he did it all quite well.
I couldn't find his date of birth, so I grabbed his photo from netscape, to figure out a possible rising sign. He's got fire to me. His color is warm and golden. My first inkling to his rising sign was Aries for his magic, and his jaw. I then lean toward Cancer / Leo cusp - as he is definitely the entertainer, with a light fluffy mane, a large chest, and the setting of his eyes. Plus the stab in the heart and chest - which the chest is ruled by Cancer and the heat by Leo.
But my gut leans toward more like a Sagittarius rising. Although Leos are definitely fearless, they actually know when to stop.. unlike Sagittarius. Sag has a bade habit of turning it into a game, and pushing their limits - just to see if they can. Many Sags act as if they are invincible, also resembling that clumsy fool. Plus, Steve had the gift of gab, which is mutable. Sag doesn't know when to shut up, and he truly loved to talk, to teach, and to tell stories. I could be wrong with my guess of his rising sign, so if you got proof - please feel free to drop me a note.
But for now, as I look at that photo with that large friendly smile, the boyish features, the warm coloring, and larger forehead, long face, and stocky frame - I would probably bet on Sag. The archer (Sagittarius) is also the natural hunter, and loves a good game. They are naturally fearless, and enjoy competition (but who in their right mind would choose a croc as their opponent?) The fiery elements in the sun signs (or that might be prominent in their chart) are the people who run into burning buildings, while the rest are running out. Firey elements dare themselves to look down the hole, while the rest are safe and standing in the background. Their middle name is courage and bravery, and that was Steve Irwin.
Oh I know... a lot of it was rather dumb on his part, but that is what made his act so entertaining. Kinda like the whacky acts of Harry Houdini or David Blaine. If there was no magic, there was no crowd. But you gotta admit, he was bold and brave with what he did.
Closing on this topic, I believe that if anyone would have said, "Hey Steve.. I got a bad feeling and maybe it's not a good day to head out today".... I think his Pisces might have appreciated your concern, but his proud ego would've chuckled at their nervousness, and asked teasingly "crikey mate... are you scared to go out in the water?"
I'll be looking at the stars tonight, to see if one star in particular catches my eye with it's brilliant twinkle. When I do, I will smile to myself thinking "Now ain't she a beaut!"
We'll miss your crazy entertainment Steve.
Peace, Starcana

The Pisces Challenge
Dear Princess... Yes, you are definitely swimming in the sea of love! But the currents are so dangerous. If you can't swim, I'd say get out, as someone is going to pull you down with them.
Personality-wise, both men can be beautiful, inside and out, since they are both ruled by the planet Venus! Nick's element is air, and can be alittle chilly at times, which can make water grow cold. Jacob's element is earth, which is warm, which can give Pisces alittle control of the temperature in the bedroom!
You and Nick make a fun pair, as Libra (air) feeds Pisces' (water) movement, change, and inspiration - but too much "air" can also dry up all the water (emotions) that was once plentiful.
Jacob the Taurus (earth) can seem alittle boring at times - because water likes movement, and earth can be consuming. But Pisces knows all about consuming, and doesn't mind it at all. Therefore, earth promises Pisces the security that you need, by keeping you grounded.
So far, I'd say Jacob is ahead in this first round.
Now with the help of the Tarot.... I pulled a card for each of you. First, I shuffled the deck, and the Death card (reversed) appeared to represent your situation. I pulled a card then for each guy. The 10 of Swords for Nick, and the Moon for Jacob.
You are intensely involved with both of these men - and the emotions and feelings that you are experiencing with Nick and Jacob are very, very real - which may make sense as to why I see this whirlwind of anxieties and fears surrounding you. The thought of having to make such a final decision is literally ripping your fast-beating heart from your chest.... so much already, that you are ready to say the heck with it all - and just leave these two loves behind, and everything else behind - just to escape from the rush of energy that you feel.
Your connection with Nick seems to have been confusing from the very beginning, but at the same time - you've both felt so connected to each other. There is a darkness that coats your relationship with Nick for a long tim enow, whether it was your reputation with the fear of getting caught, or possibly something deeper, where I might suspect there may have been some sort of physical or mental abuse. Although I see that there is a nervousness about leaving what you and Nick shared - there is also a sense of calm and relief. Perhaps because you are finding your self and your power through this courageous choice. In all honesty, I might think that you probably left the relationship a long, long time ago - whether I see you alone - either physically or emotionally. I see your decision being very good on this one, as your strength continues to grow, as you pull yourself above the ashes of what was left. This is truly something that needed to be taken care of before any next move of yours. Your direction is clear - and it lights your path.
There is a strong sense of love and compassion that is shared between you and Jacob. From the first time that you connected with each other - you both felt the instant chemistry. You both nurture and comfort each other. There is only light when you are with Jacob, and you are not afraid anymore. He is a genuine soul, and hides nothing from you. Trust and goodness support your connection together. Being with Jacob takes all madness away. The darkness is erased and the light continues to grow between the two of you. You are the woman you have always wanted to be.... when you are with Jacob.
It wont be a completely easy move though. I pulled a few more cards that suggest that Nick is (and always has been) quite the charmer, all to gain his control over you. If you allow him back into your life because of that poisonous charm, I fear that your uncertainty and unhappiness will continue to flourish for many more years to come. Nick knows you, and your weakness, and will aim to keep you powerless, to feel in control.
The choice is left up to you Princess, as to what you want out of this. Nick has a lot of growing up to do before he can graduate to becoming Prince Charming. I'd put my bet down on Jacob. I see him as your "happily ever after"!
The waters in the Sea of Procrastination are going to be pretty rough ahead - so choose wisely Pisces.
And until you do... invest in a life-jacket.
Blessings!

Scorpio and Cancer Compatibility
Dear Pamela, First, thanks for the letter. The one thing that I might want to mention, that this topic revolves strictly with the elements and the zodiac signs, because to be more accurate in compatibility questions, an astrological chart with the planets in the house, transits, and so forth would give us a lot more of information in regards to your specific needs.
But in general, the two signs can be very compatible - and especially in bed! These two water signs can definitely understand the intensity of sex, the depth of an intimate relationship, and they both can wade in it for what may seem forever! Being the water signs, they both are in touch with their emotions and physical needs, and will understand on how to treat the other, in the most gentle way. Love, tenderness, and loyalty are all they need. And don't forget... more good sex.
Now OUT of the bedroom for these two shell-fished bodies can be a whole different story. Cancer and Scorpio both have a very hard shell (their physical appearance) on the outside. They appear strong, invincible, and ready to take on what comes their way. But on the inside of that armored shell is their soft, gooey mush. These two signs are such delicate creatures, that they must have this hard exterior to protect their weaknesses and vulnerabilities. This will make sense when the two of you try to challenge each other in words, and each appears to be so cool, calm and collected (on the outside)... but on the inside, both will feel feel nervous or terrified.
Where the two of them would have their differences would be how they would use their ruling planet.
Cancer the Crab's ruling planet is the moon. The moon, which is your ruler, is sensitive, reflective, and quite vulnerable since it's so lit up and exposed. Cancer (like the moon) enjoys the attention for awhile, but eventually go into hiding. Like the moon, Cancer too, goes through many phases, or cycles. Rather than fighting the moods, it's easier to adapt. They are peacemakers - and usually just go along, for the ride. This is a natural cycle, despite their unpredictable highs and lows. Stronger individuals will weather the crab's transitions and personal storms, while the weak joyfully jump off the boat.
*Note: Cancers are clingy and NEED security. Those big pinchers are for holding on for dear life and for their protection.
Then there's Pluto, your boyfriend's Scorpio's ruler. Pluto is transformation, dark, and secretive. Pluto is somewhere out there in the universe... like WAY out there, hard to see, but he's there. You may not notice Pluto and Scorpio in a room, but believe me, they notice you. They like the fact that you can't see them, as this is their own little way of protecting their vulnerabilities. Pluto and Scorpio like to be hidden and tucked away, so that they can study you. Once they feel that they have learned what they needed to learn, is when they become overbearing. The strong ones will respect the power of Scorpio and his Pluto, while the weak suffocate under his need for control.
*Note: Scorpions are guarded and NEED protection. That deadly stinger is for attacking and winning - at all costs.
With the watchful eye of your boyfriend's Scorpio, your Cancer sign would be flattered at first, and then later, exhausted from the pressure and questions. Living with his Pluto, would be like living under his twisted microscope, and your anxious Moon sign needs privacy. His Pluto would have no patience for the irregularity of your emotions, nor your constant need for change. Pluto would simply view that as a weakness, abusing his power, forcing one of you to walk away.
But this of course would be the worst case situation, and most extreme issue if the relationship lacked respect for each others unique personality. This doesn't mean that it can't work out Pamela... it just means that it could take a lot of bending, shaping, and molding.
Here are a few Scorpio and Cancer combinations to ponder....
Scorpion Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson (Crab
Scorpion Rose Anne Barr and John Goodman (Crab
Scorpion Mary Hart and Sly Stallone (Crab
Scorpion Condoleezza Rice and George Bush (Crab
Scorpion Julia Roberts and Crab Jason Patric (Crab
Scorpion Demi Moore and Jim Belushi (Crab
Scorpion Whoopi Goldberg and Danny Glover (Crab
Scorpion Jodie Foster and Gary Busey (Crab
Scorpion Hillary Clinton and George Bush (Crab
Scorpion Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks (Crab
Scorpion Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman (Crab

Illusions to Inspiration
And I really enjoy watching the others' expressions as well (especially the ones who just "hate" fireworks) as they tilt their heads and curious eyes, to see the colored attractions of the night. To look up and see the beautiful lights dancing in the wind, and then quickly fizzle into thin air.... It seems to bring out many memories in most of us, of being a child, as if watchingwe are watching fireworks for the first time.
The energy was just so pleasant. Whether the sun in Cancer had us feeling comfortable in our home surroundings, or the moon in Libra sweetened the contentment of the evening. But whatever it was, it had me totally careless over Mr. Mercury retrograde who was knocking at the front door. Mercury who? Nothing was gonna spoil the mood of the night.
I pulled a card to express my personal energy of the day, and the nine of pentacles reached out to me... which also represents contentment, satisfaction, and total awareness. Absolutely perfect.
May you all experience the fortune of peace.

Sagittarius Sunglasses
Later.... inside, at my computer.... I was rather disappointed when I finally checked out my photos, as those "so-called terrific" lunar shots that I THOUGHT I took - just weren't as impressive as I imagined them to be.
This is a pretty typical scene to compare with the Sagittarian mind. We all have have these big dreams and goals. We imagine it. We see it. We create it. We make it into something that is bigger than life itself. Then one day, we print it out... and as in reality, our "work of art" resembles something smaller than a lightning bug.
But in the same sense... this is truly the way the expansive mind of a Sagittarian's mind works. We take something so small or even irrelevant, and see the Sun in it. That is our co-ruler Neptune, who gives us Sag's a pair of those cool rose-colored sunglasses, to dance in a world of neon and rainbows (also known as flashing disco lights). Now you know why we always got a big, goofy smile on our face!
The Gods like and protect Sagittarians - cuz we make them laugh.
Here we have the tarot which represents happy-go-lucky Jupiter clashing into dreamy Neptune (kinda like peanut butter bumping into chocolate) and then instantly coming up with a fantastic idea.
So with all of this, what's MY big bright idea?
To get a digital camera with night vision and zoom lens.
Keep on smiling!

Capricorn and Aries - Compatible Mates?
Do we have a happy future?
Bride-in-Waiting
Dear Bride in Waiting...
First thing that I might want to mention, is that you should never have to stop asking questions. We ask questions because we WANT to learn... otherwise, you end up second-guessing everything around you. Plus, when you ask questions, you won't have to assume. :-)
I didn't receive any birth date information on the two of you, so I am going to work with what I can. So in the area of looking at the Elements and Zodiac signs... I want to let you know that Capricorn is an Earth sign, and Aries is fire. His earth can be warm to touch, and make things romantically interesting behind closed doors, and your fire will definitely add to that heat, bringing intense passion. His earth can bring stability, as well as security to your busy, enthusiastic life. Capricorn men do like to be in charge and be respected as head of the household - but unfortunately - so does Aries. You could see some serious head-butting between his Goat and your Ram. Capricorn's ruler is Saturn - which tells me that your boyfriend has had many falls in his life, in which he had learned to get back up on his feet again. Because of those hardships and experiences, he will that he has experienced more, and knows more than you - and that you should trust him at his word. His " hard falls and slow, steady rises" are kinda like his personal Power now. These constant "ups and downs" in his life have taught him that tears doesn't get you anywhere (which can make him appear quite serious and unemotional). This display of emotionless and domineering nature can be quite chilling to the fiery Aries. Aries' ruling planet is Mars - which is passionate and hot-blooded. Mars is the Greek God of War, who naturally comes with leadership skills and raw courage. Aries doesn't need to hold on to negative situations to know that she is the Queen... she just is... which leaves Capricorn feeling alittle bothered that you are disrespecting him in some sense.. cause he's done SO much for you. He needs to feel that you need him, and you may have to sign a life-long "I Owe You" note, to show your deep appreciation. Capricorn is very traditional - which could stomp on some of Aries spontaneous zest for life. Capricorn is slow and cautious, while Aries isn't afraid of what's "out there".
If both of you are willing to take turns at playing boss, this relationship can create a very playful, loving union. Each of you are strong and unique entities that could bring a lot to the table - but on the other hand, if one of you claims to have more power over the other - this union will flop faster than Aunt Martha's famous fruitcake!
I pulled a few cards in reference to your question and received the 9 of wands (reversed), the 4 of pentacles, and the 5 of wands (reversed).
I feel that with some of the very real-to-life struggles that you have personally dealt with already with your Capricorn boyfriend - along with some of the elemental views I have shared.... that your future doesn't hold the brightest flame with him. I feel that you will be doing all the work to inspire him and keep the relationship going (which in some cases, is what the Capricorn expects of his women). I think that you have been through this sort if relationship many times, and your Aries armor is getting ready to go to war again, as you prepare to defend your self.
Although you and your Mars are true warriors, I feel that you are tired of fighting. You are bored with defending yourself and defending your intentions. It takes a lot more courage (and maturity) to "be the "bigger person" and just let it all go. Don't let your pretty Aries ego get upset, thinking that he won though. He may have won the fight, but in the long run, by laying down your weapon... you have truly won the war.
It takes much more Spirit and bravery to make a responsible decision that will be best for the two of you.... than to continue fight for what you solely believe in.
I feel that this particular relationship, has taken up a lot of your time, as you have many goals that have been on hold, and ultimately being on hold with your life has only added to the stress. Use this excess energy that you have now, and get focused. Write your future goals down on a sheet of paper, and see where your Capricorn fits into each of your goals.
- Does he encourage you to better yourself, and support your personal growth?
- Does he make you feel guilty that you do not put enough time into him and his goals?
- Does he feel threatened that you may grow and forget about him?
He should only be interfering if you happen to be going down the wrong path or making a terrible mistake. Earth-related signs are about having firm foundations in their life. They are the ground and stableness that hold us up - and they need to feel just as grounded - if not MORE! Earth can feel easily threatened that you may try and grow something better elsewhere.. and forget about them. This is where earth may put out your fire. Sometimes your Capricorn boyfriend becomes too focused (and obsessed) over status and reputation, that you end up putting your own inspirations on hold - just to help him build his. That's when the relationship really becomes one-sided, and you begin to ask questions. You have a right to ask questions.
Your questions and issues are not just with him though, but also within yourself Bride. There is, and has been struggle - and it's for a reason. You have had opportunities that came into your life, and you also have had opportunities to learn from your mistakes. One learns from changing their thinking, changing their attitude, and eventually changing their circumstances. You've been through this situation a few times now, and you are experiencing it (again) for a reason. A reason for personal and spiritual growth. You have learned a lot from the two of you being together, and your heart and eyes wide open, want to see more than what he has been offering to you.
I believe that your Capricorn boyfriend came into your life for a reason. He came to teach you something very important - just as he was supposed to learn something from knowing you. And now, years later, I feel that that you have learned what you were finally suppose to learn from him.... because I see you leaving him. I see you leaving him because you learned, from him. Your job with him is done, and I see you leaving because you have a new journey that awaits you, as it is time to find your Self again, and enjoy walking into your own aspirations.... rather than walking into his.
Peace.

Meeting the Page of Pentacles
Okay, now gimme a break - as I am not much of a writer, but I am trying to add a little more to my blog, other than some readings here and there. So let me think and hear me ramble.....
la la la la......
But as I was saying, when I need a solution, I tend to be that of a seeker. Rather than waiting for life to happen, I prefer to make it happen. When I am bored or dissatisfied, I can TRY to do the "respectable" thing, and just hold on a little longer to TRY and make it work, but that isn't always a wise choice. You know... when you HAVE to try.... and then try so hard.... then it really isn't meant to be (at least at that specific time period).
Life should never be so hard, and when you understand that - it is when you start to live.
So as I mentioned earlier, I have this situation and now looking to do the "respectable" thing and find out ways to make things work. Answers will usually come to me in different forms, from listening to music, to sitting outside, but it's mostly when I am driving when I get most creative. My best ideas are when I am out driving around, listening to the music.... and there I am, fumbling with my purse to grab my phone and record my thoughts before I forget them!
After a few days of seeking guidance, I received an answer to my problem (yayyy!). This time the answer came to me while I was surfing on the net, and came from a nice, friendly site. A few things that this woman spoke about within her website spoke to me, along with some of her other writings and her wit. I was so relieved to have reached a conclusion to my problem, that I decided to take a moment to thank her for sharing her site, and her words of wisdom. And since, we've had some motivating conversation.
If you havent noticed by now (LOL) I am an inexperienced blogger, and I've received some helpful blog tips from this wonderful woman! So I found myself with another unexpected gift from her. She shared her blog goals with me - mentioning a problem that she was having with the look of her banner, so I decided to surprise Lady Skye Frye with a gift... a new banner, as a way to say thanks. She was thrilled, and of course I was happy that she liked it.
Here is her new banner, be sure to visit her website TheSpiritMovedMe.blogspot.com
Now here I start thinking... hmmmm, now how can I turn this into a Tarot related topic? And it came to me, that this was a nice experience to help some inexperienced readers to interpret the Page of Pentacles. While pulling this card, I am this child-like energy who searched for something, and I find that gift (within her site). The inspiration I was looking for, along with her blog tips, were both that very same energy of the Page of Pentacles, as she holds an unexpected gift for me.
As that Page of Pentacles, I too offer a gift to her. Which this may sum this card up pretty good... symbolizing that "you get - what you put out", or "passing the wealth".
Thanks for listening. :-)
Starcana Tarot - Life Path Readings

Reading Useless Mom
Dear Feeling Useless Mom, Obviously this is a very important concern for you, as would be with ANY mother. The Ace of cups, in a reversed position, immediately makes me quite aware of the obstacles the your son has been facing. Teenage years can be very hard for our young adolescents (as well as for us parents!) as they are pressured with so many growing demands that seem to come from so many sources. Whether theses demands are coming from their home life, school life, peers, love, grades, bullies, appearance, etc. Plus the amount of raging hormones can make them feel quite confused and lost, with so many decisions to make! Your child in particular is dealing with alot, and feels very alone. He is incredibly sensitive, and struggles with teen choices and teen responsibilites. I might also want to add that there may be a deteriorating friendship (possibly a young love) that may also be adding to the dark cloud above his head.
The Page of Swords who also arrives in a reversed positionn adds that your son's mind is truly not involved or interested in his studies. Life in general just seems to be more fun and interesting to your son, rather than sitting quiet and still in school. He is an active child, who is obviously athletic and does well in sports. The thought of reading a book quietly seems to be almost torture or unnecessary to this young sportsman! And although it is a frustrating experience for you as a parent, be sure that it is also quite infeasible for your son. It seems that you both are separating yourselves apart from each other... rather than staying strong, and opening up to one another. Communication seems to be failing between you both, and it may be a good time to sit down with each other, and simply talk and get the communication lines back open. Ask him questions about how he feels with life lately, ask him how his day is going. He needs to know that you care. No one likes to assume that. Grab a book and sit quietly with him, while he does his schoolwork. Ask him if you can help him study. Loneliness is one obstacle between the two of you, and it doesn't seem to be working for neither of you. Plan time for a nice conversation. Make each other laugh. And most importantly, always remind him that you still love him. No one likes to assume that either. Teens act as if they are too cool for mom's little words of endearment - but secretly deep down inside - they can never hear it enough.
Last, The Magician appears with the final word - and I believe that your son will definately graduate from school. If he decides to proceed with his education after high school, I might add that with the right amount of encouragement, that he will continue to succeed! He is intelligent, and capable of pulling himself out of the hole, and come out shining. He knows exactly what he needs to do, and knows how to go about it, to get what needs to be done - done! Your son has alot of confidence, as well as common sense - buried beneath all that careless exterior. You are an incredibly important figure in his life to help boost his self-esteem when he feels hopeless or uninspired. Don't be afraid to compliment him on occasion, and make him aware of his capabilities... and always let him know how proud you are of him (even when you feel that it won't help). You will be always be guaranteed a light of glimmer (and hope) in their watery eyes. Remember: Patience is a mother's middle name, and also the test of our mothering skills. Just give him some time... and don't be afraid to give yourself alittle time.

What's in YOUR cards?
May 12, 2006
Tarot for Inspiration
Dear Starcana
Oddly enough, I've had goals for success since a very early age, despite some of the unusual complications that have interfered with my plans. I guess my main question would be "Should I continue with this dream that I see as my true path - or is it a hopeless journey where I will one day wake up and realize it really was just a dream?". Thanks. Yours Truly, T.J. from California
Dear T.J. According to the personal birth information that you have provided - along with the tarot cards that have been chosen for you.... the Tower, Strength, and the 5 of Wands.... I can see that you have many serious struggles within your life, starting at a very young age. It has obviously been a very long and hard climb toward the top. I do feel that you will find that success that you have been searching for - at the top of that mountain. I see you reaching your goals - despite the times that have been quite hard on you. You have dealt with more hardships than one can handle, and have always got back up on your own two feet, only to experience another downfall. In some odd way, you feel as if this dream is worth all the agonizing effort that you are investing into it.
Some define the word "success" in so many ways. Reaching one's "personal wealth" may range from financial achievement, to renewed health, spiritual well-being, or possibly the whole package. The list continues, because it's a personal interpretation to that specific individual. So depending on the certain type of prosperity in which you are searching for - you may feel that it all serves a purpose - to reach this point.
Unfortunately, the last few years of negative experiences had developed from your own personal resources - as you struggle with personal power, and change. It seems that you were presented with several gifts from the universe, in hopes to help you with your weaknesses, and your stubborness refused to accept help. When a negative situation like this continues longer than it should... the force of the universe can be quite overwhelming - taking everything away from you, and leaving you to feel as if it may have been the worse thing to happen to you - when in all, it was really just for your own good.
You should expect to have many admirers who look up to you with both respect and envy. You earned that publicity with the enormous obstacles that you have ovecome, and now others want to be like you, or possibly want what you have. Learn from your past lessons about issues concerning self-control and understanding. Whether you fight for it - or against it. The process should be a naturally one, not an aggressive one. Whatever is suppose to happen.... will. Do not be threatened of what MIGHT be taken from you. At times, you will feel in need to protect what you have worked hard for, but from what I see - this is not what is reality, but only within your own mind.
No matter how beaten down that you may have been, or felt... your moon which resides in Aquarius (which interesting enough is related to the Tower card - ruled by Uranus) has been your loyal savior. Your lunar guardian Uranus, has helped you to approach the darkest challenges as a responsible adult, and conquer.
The strongest form of energy is where you have traveled from the darkest areas in your life - to your brightest. You have walked many spiritual journeys throughout the years, to reach "who" you are today. Your self-esteem beams with total awareness, and a new understanding.... learning that life isn't suppose to be this hard. You have taught yourself what is important to hold onto... as well as, what to let go. Your maturity level has increased, as you welcomed the comprehension of "choice". You now make less demands on others, and less demands on yourself. You don't need to hold on so tightly anymore. You've worked hard for this knowledge, and you've certainly earned it.
You are on the right path TJ, and by the age of 38, you can expect to reach your personal goal. You will feel safe and secure within your dream come true. What you dream TJ is truly happening and materializing - because YOU believe it is. Life will be good as you reap the rewards.
As you walk WITH life now (rather than against it), your future holds even a brighter star for you - just when you thought you knew what you wanted in life. After you reach success - you accidently (or possibly, coincidently) find your TRUE calling in life - and without a second thought, I see you giving it all up, all that you have worked so hard for, for the true inspiration of your life!

Boyfriend Problems
Dear Sleepless, I can truly see the dark gloom that hangs over your relationship. Shuffling through a deck of Tarot, you've been dealt the 10 of Swords (reversed). Wheel of Fortune (reversed), 6 of Cups (reversed), and the 3 of Swords. You've really have experienced pain, and have been hurt over and over again, and I find you are preparing yourself for another hurt. All your present thoughts on what has been happening within your home seem to be sharp and concise, leaving you absolutely no room to see any hope at all. In all honesty, you both have suffered with plenty of upsetting experiences in the past, but I don't feel that either one of you have grieved completely on your individual losses. Without letting go of the past, this leaves unsettled conditions within yourselves, which are upsetting your personal relationship. I see emotional attachments to the past, along with present insecurities on both of you. Because you have both experienced loss before - anything that has been purchased during this time will hold sentimental value - which neither of you will want to give up (all over again). These unsettled conditions suggest a future tug-of-war on who owns what, so you may want to get yourself prepared legally with that bit of information.
This move seems as if it was based on a spontaneous decision, with lack of preparation and planning - appearing to be not the best choice at that time. You are feeling like you are being held back by that instant decision now, by ways of losing your independance. There is also a sense of unstableness around your boyfriend regarding his anger, and I might suggest that you talk to your friends or family, or seek professional advice on this matter.
When moving in together, you seemed to think that he was going to make your every dream come true, and now you find yourself quite aware that this isn't going to happen. Either he was a pretty smooth talker, or you were a quite naive. Being in a relationship is hard work, and neither one of you are willing to put the extra effort needed to pull it back together. Unfortunatley, because you both aren't fighting for what you want - I do see the two of you parting in the middle of summer, towards early July.
As I mention regularly, readings are NEVER set in stone Sleepless - as we all have a choice, as well as free will. Your feelings are correct, as the two of you are headed towards a near departure IF both parties continue to let everything that you have built - to slowly decay.
Blessings.

Relationship Advice
For the last few months, my wife and I have been experiencing some real difficulties in our marriage, and I want to know if you see the two of us ever being able to work things out.
Signed, Concerned Taurus
Dear Concerned Taurus...
I found interest in your detailed letter, and felt your desperation, so I chose your question to answer this week. Like the other readings in this journal, I've excluded all of your emotional information for privacy purposes.
From the Tarot deck that I chose for you, I had drawn the 2 of Swords, the Hanged Man, and the Devil in regards to your personal request. From what I pick up on your energy, I can feel that you are a warm, gentle person despite the emotional storms that surround your torrid relationship. I see that you are a very balanced person, as patience seems to be one of your special qualities. With control of your emotions, your thinking is crystal clear and you are determined to bring peace to your marriage.Your confidence and faith is strong, despite the rocky path that you both have been traveling on. Fortunately, there have been positive efforts from both parties, where I find that to be a HUGE first step toward saving a marriage. Despite the ongoing obstacles and regular frustrations, I can see that both you and your wife have tried to be upfront and honest with each other - although you don't see eye to eye on many issues. The true key to "staying power" is effort, and that has its' reward, when the timing is right.
I can see that you often feel very alone while living together. You are the rock in your marriage. You are solid, secure, and strong enough for BOTH of you. You are a very patient man during her outbursts. She is so controlled by her thoughts and emotions, that she doesn't even realize that your peaceful nature is the piece of string that is actually holding the two of you together right now. Your wife continues to struggle with many personal and professional issues, and for the last few months she has been feeling incredibly overwhelmed. With all of that occurring for her, those overwhelmed feelings are now creating the illusion that make it appear as if you have not completely fulfilled your end of the marriage bargain. She is feeling cheated from you... cheated emotionally.. basically because there has been no immediate resolution to your situation, so she feels as if she needs to now take this matter into her own hands (along with her other workload). She is overburdened, and feeling under-appreciated.
On the other hand, your personal experience feels that time and love heals all, and that this will all work out in the end. Hard effort does not have to be applied in your mind - when love and faith is on your side. She doesn't have faith. She feels that without hard effort, that you are not offering something solid for the marriage, and she does not want to be the only one incharge of making the marriage work. The union between the two of you is a priority, and fixing it immediately is necessary, as it lays an extra heavy burden across her weary shoulders. Her thoughts are jumbled with confusion and frustrations, that is creating an murky gray aura that resembles stagnation, making her feel that there will be no room for growth for the future.
I do see that your marriage will last, but it will also have a few unresolved issues that seem to be too sensitive to discuss in an adult manner.. at least for the next few months. I see the two of you holding on to what you have built together, but see you living separate lives while living together. Love and passion still exists between you, so if you are both willing to take some additional steps (as in marriage counseling and inner work) to find peace, contentment and trust... you can overcome those feelings of limitations and roadblocks toward happiness. If the two of you consider professional consultations with a trained person in this field, I see late August will be a joyful turning point in your lives. Without the help of a professional, you can expect to see your marriage take a promising turn toward forgiveness and reconciliation by as early as late fall.
Best Wishes.

The Same Dream - Night After Night
Dear Starcana - I have a dream that frequents my sleep, and I hope that you can help. I have this dream where I am a close observer (but invisible) to my boyfriend's life. I will often see him flirting and having sexual relations with other women right infront of me! Now I am worried that he might be cheating on me, and that this might be a sign that he isn't the one for me! Please help! Nightmare in Oregon
Dear Nightmare in Oregon - Your dreams are actually bringing up sensitive issues that have been upsetting you regarding a distant relationship from years back that did not work out. Old feelings of insecurity still haunt your thoughts (and dreams). Because of the same dream that is recurring, you lack confidence and trust that this partnership can stand on solid ground. You feel that you must pay attention and keep a closer eye on him now (as you even watch him in your sleep!). He really isn't aware that you are watching his every move (even though you are right beside him in the dream) because you are unseen, and invisible. This will make you feel that you aren't getting the fair attention that you need, and have you feeling abit ignored - or have you feel as if you are invisible.
In your dream, your boyfriend has a choice between being with you, or the other women - and because you are there watching him mingle... you will wonder if he desires something more than what you offer. Because of his promiscuous behavor with the other women, your personal fears are exposed in your dreams, which consist of infidelity, secrets, and rejection.
This is not a dream that will validate any future unfaithfulness. It's more of a sign that the two of you lack communication, and that there are important things that you want (and need) to say to him - but you have chosen not to approach him on it. Your fear of opening up to him is what is causing your life (and sleep) to be disturbed. I feel that until you are honest with him and yourself, that you will continue to feel at odds.
On May 9, the moon is in Libra, where honesty and open communications offer balance and peace that you need right now. Invite him for an evening walk in the park, and you will get the positive response to move forward... together.
Peace.

Good Intentions Grow Good Results
I started a blog some time ago, but never made time for it. But since I am on a "10" cycle path this year - I wouldnt have made time for it anyway. Now it's the right time to start using that energy, and occasionally throwing my thoughts into my journal. I guess what inspired me to write, is that this month features Mars, and he's quite serious about getting things taken care of. But also, because I have this particular woman who emails me a few times a month, with the same email address and same question. So hopefully she reads through the site, and finds my journal, where she can find my thoughts on her particular situation. :-)
Dear Starcana... I've recently started my own business, and I want to know if I will succeed? signed, Lady in Business
Dear Lady in Business.. In my personal opinion, there is ALOT of hard work when it comes to starting your own business. Not only do you have to sell your product or service, but you must also know how to sell your self. I see that you have plenty of energy and self confidence to face any challenge that comes your way. Your feet are planted, and you are prepared to reach your goal. You have struggles with inspiration at times. A particular friend seems to be feeling alittle left out during all your time of hard work, and sometimes she can say some hurtful things to you. Her intention is not to cause you sadness, although it may look that way right now. Make some time for her, and let her know that you havent forgotten about her. With situations like these, life can get in the way.. so when it does, do not let it stop you from your plans. Sometimes doing something completely out of the ordinary is just the right medicine for you, which can help to get those creative juices and energy back in groove. A light-haired female will be offering you advice, along with a new way to organize your life. She has good intentions, and will give you the faith you need to believe in yourself. Success is in the stars, and you will proceed to take control of your business, and your life with pride. You are willing to do what ever you need to do to make it successful - and let nothing come inbetween. Good Luck!
