LoveCast Q & A

A sad dream makes a woman wonder

 

Is it love

I've put my social life on hold for the last two-plus years to take care of my parents. I'm concerned if I'll ever be able to pick up my social/love life.  I'm over 48 and still unable to leave them. I can't work and only go out once a month and then I worry about them. Do you see anyone coming into my life that can handle this situation? My birthday is December 31, 1956.

Hello Trip,

Your parents are fortunate to have such a devoted son. You have Sun, Moon and Mercury in dutiful Capricorn, which makes you ultra-responsible. Your Venus, which represents your love life, is in fiery, philosophical Sagittarius. You definitely have a fun-loving side that needs expression. Expansive Jupiter has been transiting through Sag all year, which is no doubt making you restless for more socializing. Spiritual groups, travel or outdoor clubs and college classes are great ways for you to meet a romantic partner. But the best news is, lucky Jupiter transits into Capricorn in December and stays there through most of 2008, moving over your three Capricorn placements. Your life is about to improve! You know, Capricorns are so self-sufficient that they seldom ask for help. Perhaps it's time to seek out some assistance in caring for your parents. Is there a senior center near you that can perhaps point you in the right direction? Jupiter in Capricorn will bring people into your life who can open personal and professional doors for you, but you need to be open to receiving help. As for love, Jupiter conjuncting your Moon in 2008 will likely bring in a professional woman who is Jupiter-like (spiritually inclined, optimistic and just plain fun!). So don't give up hope. With your natal Jupiter in partnership-oriented Libra, which is a lucky placement for marriage, you'll not be alone forever.

Best of luck,
Cortney

All in a dream

I dreamt I was watching my funeral. I was at the foot of the coffin at the gravesite and the priest was saying she died from sorrow and a broken heart. I am all alone now - my husband left me after two years of marriage. I will be going back to my country in a few months and I am hoping to get back with my ex-husband. What is my dream telling me?

Hello Del,

The dream is reflecting the death of your relationship - or the part of you that was connected to your husband. It could also mean the death of your hope of successfully getting back together with him. Before you attempt a reconciliation, make an effort to fill the void with other people who are close to you. Being an Aquarius means you connect at a deep level with your friends. You also have a genuine interest in all kinds of people. And with Venus (love) and Mars (passion) in compassionate, sensitive Pisces, volunteer work that helps the underprivileged would be a great way for you to contribute your skills and insights - and meet new people. This Pisces influence, however, also indicates a tendency to get stuck in the past.

You may also be stuck in the role of victim, with your ex being the "villain." You need to rely on your Aquarius nature, which embraces change, to put you on a new path. And change has certainly been a part of your life recently. Pluto, the planet of death and transformation, has been bombarding your Pisces planets. This "death" came in the form of your divorce. The danger of such a strong Pluto influence is obsessing about the one who has left, instead of truly letting go. If you fill your emotional needs through family and friends who love you, it will help you heal. Then you'll be able to see if you and your ex are meant to be together. Good luck on your new path!

Sweet dreams,
Cortney
