Query: When will I know the man I will marry?

B:
How will I know that I've met the man I'm supposed to marry? When will that happen?

Dear B,

I used the Osho Zen tarot deck and i drew the card Maturity and Sharing. This tells me that you will soon reach a stage when you will know and understand and actually feel the possibilities everywhere around you. You will have all the resources to appreciate the world, yourself and all the changes that happen because you know that they do not truly affect the way you are. Once you are happy with yourself and you have the resources to not be affected by the ephemeral changes around you, then you will be able to identify the person who offers himself to you. You will know who that is by your ability and desire to share yourself rather than need or demand something of him.

Look out for that moment when your impulse is to share all your energy, compassion and love with someone and you will know that he is the one for you.

take care

Love life reading for NM

Dear NM - This reading is done with osho zen deck. Feel free to ask for clarification or other questions.


Past experience in love
Conditioning (beyond illusion)

Your past experience was one of being bound and trying to be someone you were not. That situation wasn't right for you and you weren't willing to change to suit the situation. You may have felt more comfortable and accepted in the past but that didn't reflect what you need out of your love life.

Current experience
Abundance - The Creator

It seems like you have already picked yourself up and put plans in place for starting something new. You are enjoying yourself by going out and participating in a lot of things as well. You seem to be surrounded by people but a lot of them are probably men and there is no real feminine energy around you at the moment.


Future
silence (transformation)

your future love life shows that you will come to terms with yourself rather than with previous experiences. You will finally be able to internalise the changes that you have come through and there will be great hope for the future. A big change will come along and there could be someone that brings up these feelings in you or you could sense yourself as ready to find a relationship that has real meaning for you. There will be a real shift of what you look for in the next person.

Horoscope Spread

This horoscope spread is for me and so I don't go into as much detail as I would were I to do a reading for a customer.

28th of October, 2007

Card 1 - First House: Physical body, Self, sense of identity, personal needs, appearance, health, vitality, the start of an enterprise, mother's father, father's mother.

5 of Swords - 5 of Swords

I am recovering from a cold that occurred about three weeks ago and am still feeling a lack of energy. I think that more than the physical there is a mental negativity that I have embraced this month where I compare myself to others around me and don't feel like I am gaining as much as they are. I come off worse in all comparisons especially since a co-worker who I constantly help out is earning more than me and this to me feels unfair. My self-hate is getting the better of me this month and I think it shows. I have only managed to meditate once and that was yesterday. I have to drop this comparison because it is draining away all my positive energy. I have also started working full-time again after a couple of years of study and I keep feeling that I am not earning enough to be doing all this work (Even though I was earning less for the last two years) and that I now have no time and that this is the end to my freedom. I feel restricted! and pressured and taken advantage of which are all ways for my self-hate to kick in and tell me that I'm not good enough and that there's something wrong. The rational part of me knows that there's nothing wrong so I have to focus on this knowledge and take care of me.

Card 2 - Second House: Money, income, finances, wealth, values, possessions, movable goods, resources.

3 of Pentacles (id)- 3 of Swords (id)

The knowledge that I'm not making as much as one of my teammates has been painful and made me feel bad. Also the fact that I'm not earning enough, even though I am full-time, to cover all expenses is making me quite upset and it is distressing.

Card 3 - Third House: Siblings, neighbors, close kin, local travel, short trips, conscious mind, writing, early education, communications, letters, phone calls, examinations, local environments

6 of Swords - 3 of Pentacles

My sister recently visited me and now she has found a job where she has to travel for a couple of hours each way. I can see how these cards definitely relate to her.

Card 4 - Fourth House: Father, elders, home, family, real estate, land, roots, foundations, internal needs, emotional security, the grave.

Knight of swords (world) - 2 of swords

My dad is travelling again (to China). My parents want to visit me but I am not looking forward to their arguing and I have a lot of work taking up my weekends so I'm not sure when I'll be able to do it. I keep postponing the trips and I have to get my passport sorted out as well. This is causing me some stress and i'm not finding any solutions.

Card 5 - Fifth House: Children, speculation, risks, hobbies, gambling, games, self-expression, romance, affections, pleasures, creative endeavors, fun, vacations, love affairs.

5 of Pentacles - 5 of Cups

I am starting to feel a bit miserable about my lack of romance but I think this is more of a mental problem than a realistic one. Neither me or my housemate have a significant other at the moment and we tell ourselves it would be better to find someone than be single but at the same time we can't afford to go out as much! So it could be a lack of finance in ruining our romance.

Card 6 - Sixth House: Illness, work, duty, daily routine, pets, perfection, tedium, drudgery, service, employees, father's siblings

Judgement - Lovers

I have been ill this month and I think that this is still affecting me. Work has a lot to do with it and I also have my studying to do which is draining in the thought alone. I'm full time now after a year of being on placement and then on temporary contract. This is it really and it has me in the 'lovers' position of wondering whether it's all worth it. I have to keep reminding myself that I actually love what I do and and I love the place I work.

Card 7 - Seventh House: Spouse, mate, partners, marriage, committed relationships, contracts, lawsuits, open enemies, opponents, personal consultants, those on equal footing with us, father's father, mother's mother

8 of Wands - King of Pentacles (High Priestess) - Knight of Wands (2 of Wands) - Queen of Wands (Star)

Changes in my partnerships - fast moving changes and socialising. Not sure who this can be - my housemate is pretty much my family and he does have a project which he is working on. I do give him a lot of hope and support in this and I do believe that it will present itself as a great project in potential. I think that his new venture could be what this house is picking up.

Card 8 - Eighth House: Sex, death, taxes, other people's money, loans, legacies, goods of the dead, other's resources, insurance, partner's money, research, personal transformation, deep understanding, occult interests

Devil - 7 of Pentacles

My debts are getting to be a problem and they feel like such a burden. I am now giving serious thought as to how to deal with them because one of them has a ridiculously high interest rate.

Card 9 - Ninth House: Long distance travel, religion, the law, higher education, philosophy, higher mind, foreign interests, broadcasting, publication, forecasting, spouse's siblings

9 of Pentacles - 7 of Cups

I am now working on my writing - lit review in particular. I feel quite confident in the way I am progressing although I haven't worked as much recently as I could have. I am also very excited about the future and am trying to find funding for some more post graduate work. I think I could definitely do it but I just have to get through this degree first.

Card 10 - Tenth House: Mother, career, profession, ambition, superiors, governors, success, public standing, reputation, status, society, discipline, structure, destiny

7 of Pentacles - Hierophant

I have finally joined the company as a permanent member of stuff and there has been some lack of motivation on my behalf. Maybe I feel dwarfed by the hierarchy and the management? I do feel like a professional however and I have my own business cards and everything.

Card 11 - Eleventh House: Friends, groups, clubs, social activities, societies, advice, detachment, hopes and wishes, humanitarian concerns

Ace of Wands - 2 of Cups

A lack of energy and motivation means that I have been sticking very close to home recently and that it has been me and the housemate more times than not. Doesn't make for much socialising.

Card 12 - Twelfth House: Solitude, confinement, hospitalization, retreat, sacrifice, hidden matters, secret liasons, psychological problems, undoing, secrets, meditation, the unconscious, the subconcious mind, mother's siblings

Queen of Cups (Ace of Cups) - Wheel of Fortune

I think this relates to romance in my life and the secret hope that someone I have been thinking of will make the necessary moves to approach me. Wishful thinking, or lazy? either way it is still a thought that I keep hidden.

Overall: King of Pentacles (4 of Pentacles) - Death

Financially I am making a big effort to budget and to record all expenditures so as not to get into more debt. I think that this is a time where things are changing and there's a lot less freedom in how I lead my days. This is getting to me and I have to accept it, mourn and move on.

The situation that Katie faced

10 of pentacles - 10 of wands - Empress
Ace of cups


The cards add up to 23 which breaks down to 5 - the hierophant. This situation has to do with traditional positions and the way things should be. Perhaps roles within the house. I think perhaps that he is too tired to do any work around the house and is content to let her do everything. Pleasing himself and not thinking of her needs. There is a contentment and passivity here. It's the end of the road in terms of family and in terms of energy being put in. Someone is letting go of all other aspirations to achieve and do and is seeking only to make themselves happy.

More Tana - still quite good

Oh and I especially love Tana Hoy for the following prediction:

2008 will be the year of defeat for the Republican Party. Many Americans will come forward claiming that they usually vote Republican but because of their disillusionment with President Bush they decided to vote Democratic. After the win of the Democratic Party, America will experience large strides, especially in the areas of international relations and affairs.

I would love to see this one come true and I have lots of faith that it will.

A reading is about $250 dollars which is a fraction of what Sylvia Browne charges. Sylvia and her son charge over $500 dollars (when I checked - I think - don't quote me but I know that it's a huge amount!) and if you're paying with UK pounds then it's half the 250 ! Bargain people, after all it worked for Will & Grace.

oh and the prediction on Britney:

When we interviewed Tana we asked him what we could expect to see next with the couple. Focusing mostly on Britney, he told us “We are going to see some very bizarre behavior from the pop star. Partying will take over her life for a while and then she will go as far as to admit herself into a treatment center.”

Romance Reading for Matt

10 of cups - 7 of pentacles - ace of swords (id)
9 of swords

harmony achieved at the moment and you're quite content to simply reevaluate the past and see what has worked for you before. You don't go far enough to find new ideas but there's nothing wrong with realising that you are not yet ready to move on. You are leaving a situation of great stress about your love life and realising that there is now nothing you can do. There's no motivation or external stimulus to force you to move on or to make decisions about your situation.

Allow the confusion to settle and this too will pass.
