Star Struck Chronicles

Recently, I had the pleasure of being hung up on by a caller when I told her that her relationship with her boyfriend had entered a period of instability, and it was likely to remain that way for quite a while. After hearing the phone click off, my first instinct was to be hurt...after all, I was only trying to help, and I am only human.  No one likes being hung up on. Upon reflection however, I realize this person was in a fragile state of mind, and like many of us, she only wanted what she wanted when she wanted it:  Assurance from me that all was really good, and I couldn't give it to her. Not that I wouldn't like to give her that assurance, I simply couldn't. I am an astrologer.  I look at the facts that your chart tells me about the time you/we are in, and the possibility that what you seek is actually going to materialize. If not now, then when your chances are much greater that it will materialize. I'm not going to lie--I can't, I won't, it ain't happening. To lie or mislead would not only do the caller a disservice, it would be a disservice to me as well. Not to mention the information would simply be incorrect.

Someone I know very well recently had a Saturn conjunct Jupiter.  The definition of this is generally problems relating to money, expense, loss of faith in the Universe. We had been watching this transit for a year, and she was warned in advance.  She took the warning seriously and paid off most of her debt.  She made house payments several months in advance, and saved all she could. The aspect finally hit in mid-April-May.  Lo and behold, along came a bigger tax bill than expected, and a number of reoccurring bills that all hit at once. It was overwhelming.  But, having paid her bills in advance, and having put some money away in savings she was able to squeak through, and see her way clear in a few weeks. It wasn't easy, but she made it.  Had she gotten angry and disregarded the information what would have happened? Probably excessive debt that would take a long time to pay, and she would have been in hoc with the IRS!  And yes, it was depressing, and she was feeling a loss of faith in the Universe.  But, the point is that she made it, and made the best of a bad situation and is now moving on with the next adventure in life as opposed to crying the blues over money for months to come.

Another woman I read for has Uranus squaring her Venus. The typical definition of this is an unstable love life. Again, we watched the transit for a while, it hit and..her relationship became somewhat unstable.  She is still hanging in there, and has decided to put the relationship she is in on the back burner.  She is not leaving the situation for good, simply putting it on hold while understanding (as evidenced by her boyfriend's recent actions) that the stability she seeks is simply not available now. Not that it won't be in the future--it's just not there now. In this way she is dealing with her life, looking for new adventures (or a new person) that might come her way until such a time that personal stability is available to her.  She hasn't given up on the dream of a happy home life, she is just pushing it forward for another day.

Situations like these represent "a Bad reading that is Good" We all want to operate on our own time frame-what we want, when we want it.  But, the Universe sometimes has other ideas of when the time is right. So, use this knowledge to empower yourself and build your life. The purpose of astrology is to know when the time is right and to be warned of situations that may prove problematic. In a nutshell, to overcome, and to accomplish whatever you seek.  This reminds me of the Bible verse that was turned into a popular song by the Byrds..
