Often when I am perusing discussion forums or websites that have questions about astrology, I see the most common one: “How does (insert zodiac sign here) get along with (insert other zodiac sign here)?”
I do see some trying to take a stab at answering, giving the typical, “…you are both Fire signs, so you should get along great” response.
Not only are these nuggets of wisdom misleading to the novice who is reading them, but, just comparing the Sun signs of two individuals as the end all of whether they would make a great couple is a disservice to astrology.
Friends with benefits ~ Is it a good idea?
Love comes in many forms and expresses itself differently with each individual in your life. It’s a wonderful thing to be able to talk comfortably with someone and share your thoughts without having to “impress.”
That’s what friends are for, to be able to connect with them on a deep level and share a little piece of yourself with them without feeling judged or ridiculed. Friendship is a form of love that binds people, gives them joy, makes them have fun.
When there is a friendship between two people, this feeling of comfort and compatibility can take on a different level.
Ask a Psychic: Is it Time to Move On?
This week’s question comes from a woman who was blind-sided when her live-in boyfriend pulled the plug on their relationship on the eve of their engagement.
She’s since moved out into her own place a few miles away — taking their dog with her, which is one thing that has kept the two of them in ongoing contact as they’re sharing custody for now.
She feels like her life is in limbo, despite having made new friends and gotten involved in different community events as well having taken steps to disconnect emotionally.
But it’s been hard for her as the ongoing contact makes it difficult for her to detach completely. In the meantime, she’s considering moving back to her hometown where she has a large support network of family and friends.
True Love Or Just In Love With The Idea Of Love
Christmas, New Years, Valentine’s Day are all holidays that seem to bring out the marriage proposals. Now with those holidays in our rear view mirror, it’s time to take the next step and get caught up in the frenzy of wedding planning, or is it?
Maybe I watch too many Life Time movies but it seems to me that not all the proposals were well thought out before they were made. In olden days, the prospective groom went to the father of the prospective bride to ask her hand in marriage before he actually proposed. Some families still have that tradition but for most it has gone by the way side. Fast forward about twenty years, the couple fall in love, you buy the ring and propose.
What I’m seeing more and more today are the way out there, over the top wedding proposals and I just can’t help but ask myself, are they saying yes because they really want to get married. From the looks on some of their faces it brings me to the conclusion they are totally caught off guard in front of a lot of people and they don’t want to embarrass themselves or the prospective groom by saying no.
Ask a Psychic: How Do I Know Where I Stand?
This week’s question comes from a woman who’s been seeing a man she met on a popular dating website for the past four months.
While they’ve been seeing one another semi-regularly, he does make a point of reminding her how much he loves his freedom. While he hasn’t expressed a desire to become exclusive, he has expressed jealousy over the prospect of her seeing others.
She feels like she’s getting a lot of mixed messages from him. She also wonders if there is a potential for things to develop into a more serious relationship or if that prospect will continue to be just out of reach.
Is Your Soul Mate a Jerk?
That first night, you stayed up all night talking. Sharing hopes and dreams. Talking about the past, dreaming about the future. True Bliss! Your head is in the clouds for weeks.
This is it! This is the one you have been waiting for. This is the one that makes you forget about all the losers you tolerated in the past. This is the one that made all the heartbreaks worth it! Or is it?…
Months later …
It’s all you can do to hold on. You wonder why they aren’t as open. You wonder what you could have done wrong.
You wonder if they are losing interest. You wonder why they no longer communicate the way that they used to. You try to change yourself into what you think he or she is looking for in a relationship. You lose you, you forget who you are.
Ask a Psychic: How Can I Attract Love into My Life Again?
This week’s question was submitted by a widow who recognizes that she’s developed some blocks in attracting a new relationship into her life.
She’s been single since her husband passed away 9 years ago and is now in her 50’s. She is young for her age and very active physically and mentally.
She has many close friends and is active in her community. She’s involved in study and loves to travel and has a strong spiritual connection to life.
While she has many interests that are very fulfilling, she longs to have a partner to share things with. After having grieved the loss of her husband and learning to accept his passing, she now wonders what she can do to attract a relationship for this time in her life.
Social Media, Helping or Hurting Your Relationship
Every day I log onto a social media site, someone is spreading their intimate life secrets across the globe. Not just their thoughts, anger, disappointments, but some even add complete details. Funny how someone else mentions some things are too personal and they get a nasty reply that it’s none of their business. If you post it for all your friend’s list, not to mention the public, you just made it everyone’s business.
Silly me, I use social media to promote my business, keep in touch with family and friends, find recipes or interesting ideas and get to share pictures or memories with loved ones that live far away. I have a smart phone and tablet, but most times don’t even know where they are because they are not tethered to my hand.
This brings up a bone of contention with me, people who are so busy posting and texting, their phone never leaves their hand. Sitting down to dinner should be family time where you talk to each other, nothing important is happening you can’t wait until dinner is over that you need to constantly check your social media pages. It should be more important to stay connected to your partner and children than people you don’t even really know except on social media.
Ask a Psychic: Can This Marriage Be Saved?
This week’s question comes from a woman whose marriage has suffered a series of what seem like insurmountable setbacks over the past two years.
She and her husband have been separated for more than a year, after confirmation of his earlier infidelity. She’s filed for divorce and has tried to go through the motions of moving on, but is struggling with that decision.
She still loves her husband and he says he loves her and wants to try again, but hasn’t taken steps to make that happen. In fact he hasn’t kept any of the promises he’s made.
Soul Mates and Soul Contracts
The philosophies and knowledge that psychics and all metaphysical teachers embrace, are all something we as individuals come to through study and what feels right or what has proven out to us in reality on a personal basis.
The lessons never end.
I am of the philosophy that Soul Mates are people with Soul Contracts.
The soul contracts are soul agreements that were made together between both souls before you and the other soul ever came to this world.
These Soul Contracts make the two individuals Soul Mates. I believe that those soul contracts are to be fulfilled, as they are what you have chosen together, before you came to this lifetime.
Have an Amazing Romance Instead of a Whirlwind Disaster
Are whirlwind relationships delightful breezes that propel emotional and physical attraction; that time when we can’t get enough of the other person’s presence?
Or, are whirlwind romances a hurricane gale force wind that will inevitably send us crashing into the rocks of relationship disaster?
It depends on how successfully we meld the zing of attraction with the discernment of our strength and authentic selves.
When we meet a new person, the temptation to throw ourselves head over heels into a whirlwind romance is heady. After all, we’re trained that whirlwind romances are desirable.
Romantic fiction, movies and media all tell us that real love is intense, destined, and can progress at the speed of light. “He swept me off of my feet,” they say, “I knew right away that this was perfect.”
We’ve all heard stories of the person who meets a guy on Monday and by Wednesday they’ve declared a new relationship status on Facebook.
