The Pisces Challenge

Dear Starcana! I NEED HELP!!!!!!!! I am SO in love with 2 wonderful men and I don't know what to do anymore!! I KNOW that I have to make a decision some day - but I'm soooo torn!!!!!!. Nick is a Libra, and Jacob is a Taurus. Please help me!!!!!!!! Princess Pisces

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 Starcana, I have a question about the astrology signs. I am a Cancer and my boyfriend is a Scorpio. I like to read those little zodiac books that tell you how compatible your signs are. Alot of the books say that me and my boyfriend are real compatible, and although in some ways we are, there is also much to be said about us not being compatible. If you could shed some light on this subject for me - I would really appreciate your thoughts. Thanks, Pamela

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

Hope you all had a great Fourth of July! I set some personal time aside in the morning to extend positive energy out toward our troops. And despite the news of the Korean missiles, I did have a pretty awesome holiday. There's nothing better than relaxing and having some good conversation with friends, neighbors, music, cooking over the bonfire, and cold beers. Oh yeah, and the fireworks, I love fireworks. There's something magical about sparklers and those bigger-than-life light shows. Complete darkness... with colorful sprinkles of fire pouring from the sky... like stars, meteors, and comets performing a universal performance for all of us.

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.
