Quick answer for CK, Cancerian from Glasgow..the big thing is Pluto and Saturn asking you to take charge of what you want to revamp and rebuild. Short term,tonight's new Moon (Nov 16th 09 at 19:14hrs) is good for helping you with mental focus..(in your chart,Mars rising in Virgo says you do need to have a challenge to feel good) and Jupiter will help you to get your vavavavoom back more noticeably from mid January..hope that helps! Read Virgo as well as Cancer, as that's your rising sign. Best wishes

Please help me with my love life!..from Aries
Hi Lynne, I have just come across your site and its fab :)
i was wondering if you could have a look into my love life? My husband and I split up a few months ago and its not been an easy time!! I feel as tho he is trying to worm his way back in, I  gave in to him before but really don't want that to happen (but he has a way of getting round me) he is Sagittarius
Also kind've seeing/speaking to a Scorpio man I have known for a while, will this go anywhere, I really do like him but with both our situations am not sure if it would work?! Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks M x x x


Wow, M, this has been an incredibly tense and unsettling time for you.  Your ascendant is in the 22nd degree of Pisces (Read Pisces and Aries horoscopes!) and you've had Uranus, the shake up planet there on your ascendant over the last year, opposing Saturn at your Saturn return,(the astrological reaping and coming of age time) so wow.. was this ever going to shake your partnership up!  Not easy at all to deal with, yet you have an inner "reveille" call coming from resurrection planet Pluto, saying it's time to let go of the past, embrace your true self and prepare to be reborn.  It's not easy for you as Neptune at the top of your birth chart makes it heard for you to always see the wood for the trees, plus you send out a signal to the world that makes all seem well even if it's falling apart. Confusion about what you should aim for can sometimes make it difficult for you to stand firm.

Time to move on, let go and be free for a while.. this is not an ideal time for you to form a new relationship..let go ..be you for a while, and if you can, plan an adventure..your wings need to flex.. freedom matters.. ever thought of signing up for one of those overseas adventures where you're raising money for charity while having the time of your life?  Maybe that's not possible, but you do seem to need to create some space between the past and the future, called enjoying the present.  Age 31-33 looks important for relationships.. Meantime, March and May 2010 have some amazing door opening aspects, and April could bring a bit of an awakening regarding your ambitions.. things can change when least expected.

Best wishes,
Lynne

Should I stay or should I go?
This question has been posed by a lady who knows the answer already. She finds herself unable to leave a cheating husband, with cultural issues that make it difficult for her to untie herself.  My advice is to start laying a few stronger groundrules for your cheating man. Show him you mean business in ways that you can. There is compatability between you, but you need more than you're getting, yhet you've been in this situation for years. Start loving life more on your own terms, that's the best advice I can give you. Maybe you feel you can't leave, but you can be more self assertive about the way you want to live your own life. Start turning things around a little, so that you're steering your life the way that'll suit you. You asked about going abroad. No great problem showing up with that, actually a likelihood that this could be good for you. A good experience. You have survived a lot as a couple, and I actually think with some kind of a show of gentle but firm strength from you, increasingly displayed.. that you might just improve your life.
Good luck! You know who you are, and I won't identify anything about you.

---

Sometimes we need to close the door, call time on a relationship, and yet as time weaves so many threads between a couple, untangling them and walking away can be tricky. Other than in an extreme or dangerous situation, where doors are needing to be shut swiftly and without looking back, there is a lot to be said for ending a relationship with dignity, for your own sake, above all else.
Clear communication about what it is in the relationship that's just not working for you, rather than slanging matches, will leave you feeling more at peace knowing that you did all you could, and left with your head high. And if you cannot talk at all, try writing, but as suggested below.. it's often a good idea to write several drafts, then reread and rewrite, until the message is less intense, depersonalised in a way... sometimes over a couple of weeks, before you can see that your words genuinely say what they need to, all the less important, petty stuff ( usually caused by hurt feelings) that can get in the way, cleared away. It may be that through honest communication of one sort or another that you can actually mend what's broken down, but if it's dead in the water, well, getting the final details right is akin to giving something you once valued and cared about a decent burial. Closure.

Hi Lynne,
I have been in a relationship for 14 years,I now feel it's time to walk away to find me again,my partner is an Aries and I'm tired of the heartache ,lies and manipulation he had a heart attack a year ago it's been a bad year in one way or another (how long have you got) i still love him, I feel so guilty writing to you but I am now at an all time low and don't know what to do     
 MC, Capricorn
 
MC,  I am so so sorry you are feeling this bad, so low, and can see from your chart that you have had an exceptionally turbulent time, also very stressful with Saturn and Uranus making for incredible mental pressure.   Are you really in a good place to make a breakaway choice right now though? Is there any hope for the relationship or is it really dead in the water?  You could do with having some time and space to think.  His heart attack could be followed by your own health breakdown if you are under such stress that you can't function. You are entitled to feel well and to be happy with your life, to live it your way.

You are either going to have to get tough and lay some new groundrules for this Aries man.. without anger.. talk about the relationship itself and how it makes you feel.. ie, this relationship has me feeling.... xyz.. not accusation..  and you do need to find the strength to tackle the issues rather than the man. Even if you are indeed walking away.  Whether you write it all down on a letter..and do lots of rewrites till you know you have the tone right..

Pluto is bringing big life changes your way, and his.  This is a time for sorting things out, but I suspect for now you could do with quietly pulling your thoughts and needs and plans together.  He may be the devil incarnate, but you have feelings for him and that's why you need to tackle the issues first, one last gasp effort perhaps?

Margaret, it may surprise you, but I believe your life is going to change..for the better...up to you which path you take..only you know the circumstances.

Best wishes,
Lynne

Hi Lynne, thankyou for taking the time out to reply to me. I know I have to find strength for my health and wellbeing. I have read your reply several times, and I now know I am not going mad. I will take a step back and try to focus on the positives for a while and see what unfolds.
Again, Lynne I really appreciate your reply,
MC.


Dear Lynne,
I hope you can help me I've fallen in love with man on the internet and am planning on leaving my husband for him is this the right move? I love him so much and me and my husband are more like friends.

Debbie, Sagittarius 

Dear Debbie,
You are asking me this question while Mercury is retrograde, which means the answer is not affirmative! I see you have a very idealistic, yet impulsive nature, and that you are given to escapist notions, yet you also need your emotional life to be settled, as your Moon is in Taurus. Maybe your marriage is dead in the water, maybe you do need to move on, but it could be that you would benefit from a phase of being solo rather than leaping from one relationship to another, because if indeed this is true love, it'll stand the test of time.  If you were truly sure, though, you wouldn't need to ask me.

I see a lot happening with work, and that does look promising.  Whatever you decide, the best of luck and happiness is wished for you,
Lynne


September 16th 09
Dear Lynne,
I am approaching my second Saturn return over 2010/11. I believe this happens around every 29 years or so. First time round that wasn't such a great time for me. Will this one be the same?
Catherine.

Dear Catherine,
Second Saturn return is said to be the harvest time. Very few people have reported it as a time that was tough like the astrological coming of age point of the first return around age 30. This one is often about putting your house in order now that you have discharged many responsibilities which were perhaps just at their start point 30 years back. Saturn is a demanding disciplinarian who says work first, then play. The second Saturn return tends to give more scope for the latter, although life being life, there will inevitably be news around you of endings and beginnings through this phase. There's more likelihood that you will deal with those and the great times, more sagely, more philosophically. That's the biggest difference. Best of luck,
Lynne : )

September 11th 09
Dear Lynne,
 I wrote to you in May 2008 about a split in the family with my daughter. You said you felt that she would one day find her way back. But that at that time Chiron was pulling at the heart strings on both sides. Having read your recent pieces on Chiron having a positive effect on people's lives in some ways. Do you see any change or movement on the situation with my daughter and her family. I know I can trust you to be honest.
M. Taurus.

Hello again, M!
There is a lot of longing, wishful thinking behind rigid barriers right now. For things to change, we too, have to alter our own approach. That's not to say you have to become someone you wouldn't be comfortable being.. Breakthrough energy is with us all for the next two weeks. Sometimes it's when we show we're living well, shaking off our own angst that some of those invisible barricades we have around us are removed from the other person's view.  Sometimes, in actually starting to enjoy our own life, mixing with the people who are good for us, who make us smile, laugh..that deep angst starts to crumble, to become lower down the priority list. Hun, this is YOUR life..time is precious for all of us.. and being a mother messes with your head.  Be YOU and try to remember who you were once upon a time before you had all of this family stuff going on, before you became wife and mum and somehow, maybe pushed YOU to the bottom of the list of important people.  Chiron is a big raw wound coming up for healing, but the healing is within YOU.. where it's actually needed. Once you are centred and strong again, as you deserve to be, you will deal so much better with everything.  YOU MATTER TOO!!



September 9th 09  "Thanks Lynne, from Doreen"  

September 8th 09  .. Dear Lynne,
Sorry for writing this in such short notice.I am to have a pace maker fitted next friday the 11th sept.I am terrified, my heart beats fast,slow and has 2 second pauses between beats.Can you see if there will be a good outcome and will I truly benefit from this procedure.thanks from Doreen.(Leo)

Understand your anxiety, Doreen, and see a lot of inner stress that's not been helping you.  Think you will be in very good hands and that this could be liberating for you, but you do need to step back and take a really honest look at your life/lifestyle, to make this the start of a better chapter for yourself. Oh and there will shortly be some good news for a family member who has a bit of upset in personal life.

Best wishes,
Lynne : )

Hi Lynne, i am stuck in a rut with my job. Im now desperate to leave and find something else but nothing seems to be happening, i dont even know what it is im looking for. Can you give me some advice? is there anything new out there for me?
Thanks.
Taurus Jan

Hello Jan.. here is my Question: Are you stuck in a rut.. or fortunately secure in a wobbly world? 
If you are not that secure and not at all happy, go rock that boat and dare to bare your ambitions and go after what you really want right now..  Jupiter and Neptune and Chiron are reminding you that if you have a dream, you should (cautiously) explore it.
There is a lot to be said for being able to pay the rent though, and as a Taurus, you do need that.
Saturn is heading into Libra, your work sector..from October 29th this year (09) and you may contemplate self employment as part of a female partnership..  but Saturn makes you work your socks off for success, and is no picnic.. so you have to be willing to your your all into what you do next.  That said.. you could gain from further training, too.
Best wishes,
Lynne : )

Hi Lynne,
This is just a quick word, as i know you're extremly busy, my husband is 50 on 2nd October. I'm on the verge of booking a long week-end away. I'm feeling we both need a bit of time away, can you take a quick look for me?
God bless you and all you do, Linda. (Cancerian)

Hi Linda.. looks like there may be some stress around the arrangements possibly as you feel you are stretching things, but nothing insurmountable.

August 26th 09   So many Aquarians writing to me feeling as though they are out of control with it all, and to generalise, which I don't often do, let me say that Aquarius has two ruling planets, the ancient ruler is Saturn and the modern one is Uranus. These two planets are opposed and in mutable signs. (Saturn is in Virgo and Uranus in Pisces) This means that you are feeling the clash between past and present, between the way things "should be" and they way they are manifesting. This also means that financial and physical areas are stressed. Mutable signs means people don't feel like they know what to do and feel immobilised and stressed by inactivity, and yet the time for action is most likely yet to come, from the autumn onwards to some degree, even though these planets do remain opposed for some time, the difference being that you will be managing your life better rather than feeling oppressed and paralysed.  This year Jupiter and Neptune and Chiron are rubbing at raw old wounded areas, and that feels tough and painful, but actually what you are working through this year can strengthen you in understanding, strengthen your own inner core more than at any other time, so take that message and work with the angst for now, and know there absolutely will be light at the end of that tunnel. That is addressed to every Aquarian who's been writing in to @skLynne of late. Let me know how you go!

August 26th 09

Hello Lynne - I feel I have something missing in my life, yet I am so lucky and blessed, much more than others which I try to tell myself everyday, yet I feel so down in the dumps.  I would dearly love another child - do you see this for me?  I also would love to change direction in my career but need some guidence....can you help.
Aries Audrey

Hiya Audrey,

I am sorry you are fed up, that's a shame, and I think that you probably have something deep down causing that that's maybe hard for you to reach and sort out. Talk and talk and talk till you get there, hun, to someone who'll listen and understand, or even write it all down. Email me and pour it out if that helps.

As to what's there in your chart, well.. you are mixed up here.. asking about the career, wanting another child.. which is the priority?  Your Aries Sun and Moon suggest a great need for independence and to create security that's yours, and perhaps to be self employed, or to work as an individual expert/leader. Currently Pluto is heading through your horoscope house of the mind, of learning, and yep, Pluto can make you feel mentally isolated, and it's also likely that with your Moon squaring Saturn, you really need to be very sure of the love of those closest but keep your shell up sometimes and therefore can't always feel it.  Pluto is also the treasure in the chart and his current journey could take you into new education, training, something that may lead you to a post within local government of some type, but working in a pretty secure area is possible.

As for the kiddies, well Jupiter, the expander is over Venus next year, in your house of love and kids and pleasure, and this could well add to the family if that's your hope. I would also add that there could be a financial boost coming around spring next year, too. Jupiter will bring you new options, and life can perk up in the ways you'd like it too. Read Scorpio for your rising sign, Audrey, as well as Aries. Scorpio is the sign of rebirth, the sign of the Phoenix.

Warm wishes,

Lynne : )

26th August 09

Hi Lynne,
this is really about my Aquarian daughter. She is in an office job that she has been doing extremely well  for years now. She recently moved to another area and managed to find work doing the same job as before. Recently a boss, whom she had never met, came back from maternity leave and she is a the bitch from Hell ( sorry for this description). She has made her life Hell, due I think , to her own inadequecy.

My daughter ( birth data supplied) has recently applied to join the police force, something she has always wanted to do but never had the courage. Problem is, I am worried this person will put a spanner in the works if she thinks she can and attempt to give her grief over it.
Do you think everything will turn out alright and I am worrying over nothing ?
We both had an Astrology reading with you in February 1993 .I still have the tape to this day.
The readings were very accurate.
Many thanks
Worried mum

Hiya Worrying Mama!
This is a funny old time. You gave me your own details as well as your daughter's and I can see that the ongoing Saturn/Uranus clash is weighing you down and making you feel more anxious right now. Shame..it's a rotten feeling. And that same point of your chart is where your daughter has her birth chart's Pluto the Fate planet. Looks like you have had a tough time in recent years, missus, maybe the last seven years or more have taken their toll at times, and you really are looking now for some peace of mind. No wonder.
There's a tide turning as we head into the autumnal months, Saturn shifting sign at the end of October takes a lot of immediate and personal pressure off of your chart. 
As for your daughter. Well, I think she has unintentionally ruffled the lady in question's feathers and needs to get the pwoer balance back in line now. Back from maternity leave ( and we all know how confidence can dip after you have a baby) to find someone efficiently working away and maybe, yes, a bit of a threat.

Like many Aquarian women, your daughter may not readily "own" her own power. Seems like she's working on it with the idea of joining the force, and I could see her working well in forensics and detection incidentally.  The thing is her own chart shows great mental clarity and strength with an undermining aspect from Neptune that can fool her like a trick of the light into seeing this "bitch from hell" as actually more important than she really is. 

Your daughter has the chance this year to learn something of importance about herself and the way she relates to some people in other words disowning her own power for the sake of courtesy and harmony, whilst feeling frustrated and sending signals that seem to get interpreted as "okay you seem amenable but there's something else going on here.. "  She has a magnificent, potentially assertive Mars that can come across to some as being more in charge than maybe she feels she is, yet she is indeed a natural take charge person who has to get the details right, and who operates best within the framework of a democratic team.  She has a courteous quality and the ability to relate well to most people.  Jupiter gives her an interest in psychology and alongside the Moon, a personal generosity of spirit that will see her through tough times as it'll draw more decent folk to her than the other sort.

But maybe this She Devil needs to be demoted in terms of the power she appears to exert over your daughter.  Next time she feels that abrasive stuff going on between them, deep breath and imagine the perpetrator shrinking before her eyes as she's breathing in.. imagine a wind tunnel pulling her away..defuse the intensity of this. .. but also see that the "bitch" is reacting to the power she feels your daughter is exuding.. it might not seem that this is possible to your daughter, with her sweet Libra Moon, but I can see a lot of good qualities and strength there in her chart that suggest she isn't owning her whole self here. She is a capable lady!

I can appreciate that in this climate there are complications..we can't just walk away from our work, but there is a power loaded resolution point around mid September concerning all of this and a new start feeling that turns the tide for you both. So yes, I do think that things can work out well.

Love and best wishes to you both,
Lynne : )

Posted Tuesday August 4th 09:

Lynne, You are probably the only person who knows the answer to this.What is going on?Last week, I hurt my back, my car had a puncture and a car service proved costly.I feel irritable and frustrated as things are not going the way they should, despite mybest efforts. I feel the energy is very heavy at the moment.  Friends have also been poorlyand suffered car breakdowns and various mishaps. When will this energy lift? Phyllis x

Hi Phyllis, I have selected your question for an answer because your chart actually reflects something that is happening with quite a lot of folk right now.

You are right, very heavy energy around right now. Astrologers are not immune either, and I am heading for the chiropractor myself this very day! In my own chart, this is the general, current influence of Saturn, and in general there is a building square between Mars, Saturn and Uranus which makes for breakdowns and back breaking stuff.. Saturn slows us down when we have been pushing things too far,  and Uranus has been inclining some of us to go too fast.  There's been a rather dark Venus/Pluto opposition which makes for some darker relating issues, and matters affecting women, affairs of the heart, finance and issues of self worth, have been well churned up by the sense of being in some way a hostage of fortune. Think about that one for a bit, as it's not always so obvious at first glance.

For you personally, Phyllis, Mars transitting your own sign of Gemini, is also semi squaring your birth chart Saturn, as well as opposing your ascendant.. fiery exchanges can be anticipated at such a time, and will continue to be a potential for a few weeks hence. But your personal new Moon happens tomorrow August 5th 09, which is when the current Leo Sun conjoins the exact point of your natal Leo Moon, so actually, things are about to perk up for you. Good luck!
Lynne : )

 

Hi Lynne, I have been on my own for many years,bringing up my 2 children meant more to me than meeting someone. Now they are older and no longer need me as much do you think I might be meeting someone at last. Jan (Taurus)

Jan: Yes..you will meet with someone.. overseas connections are underlined for some reason..within the next two years a lot could alter.. and your own approach will become stronger, more confident, too. Just take your time to enjoy life with less demands for a wee while.. oh and this September could be eventful, with new friendships sparkling away there..

Quick answer for Pisces Sheila:
HI Sheila..Things Will get Better.. turning point September 15-18th : )

From Aries Bev:  Absolutely believe you can and will be back on track, Aries lady, as you enter a transformative chapter that'll last for some years to come... you'll see an opportunity, grab it and go for it and a change of surroundings could be part of this. So sorry about the pooch.. ours died too, in September 2005 ..and it is just awful..sympathies to you!

From Virgo Jo: We have had our bungalow on the market over two years, sold twice and each time it has fallen through due to our buyers buyer having mortgage problems. Can you see us moving in the near future please. Also if we do sell will we be moving locally, or back to the midlands where we came from. Thankyou.

Hello Jo!..Looks like you were meant to stay put for the moment.. September 15th is a turning point for future plans. Around your birthday things start clicking together . A lifestyle change is ahead , and the cosmos suggests within the next 12months it'll all become so much clearer.


Hi lovely Lynne,
I read my stars for this week, (Cancer) how can they be so spot on? after reading them I was extra carefull with saying what I think, I'm also feeling a bit paranoid, and exagerate things, which is everything you said, feeling a bit tense now, when will there be a bit of relief from these feelings, im usually such a happy person.  bless you xxxx

Linda: Big hugs coming at ya.. looked at your chart and see all the tension and it's about feeling you can't go one way or the other thanks to circumstances hemming you in.. there will be an easing of this within a fortnight, but you do have some heavy weight Pluto stuff going on, and watch around August 1st and 26th too, when Pluto is opposed first by Venus then by Mars, which can also stir strong emotional tides.  You can also do things that amaze yourself though, achieve the near impossible.. just do it wisely, and try not to lean over too far into the bottomless pit of an impossible to satisfy demand.. stay safely back where you know fine well, it makes sense to.
 
The cosmos is unsettling.. and a solar eclipse on 22nd July is already heralding changes that say this is the time for parcelling the past up.. Cancerians never do THAT easily.. no wonder there is unease.. and of course, with Pluto opposing your sign, a good ole clearout can feel both incredibly daunting and wonderfully liberating.
 
Your stated tensions will ease when you have news concerning a work or family issue that answers a concern, and that will come within a fortnight.
 
best wishes,

Lynne : )
thankyou so very much for the time and trouble you take with your replies, iIshall keep this to read and come back to in times of unease. God bless you, Linda  xx

Hi Lynne, I recently emailed in to ask about my husband's career "My husband,(Aries)was made redundant a couple of years ago after 30 years with the same employer (his details supplied)".  You replied advising he would find something around July and something more permanent in December/January. 

Well, I am happy to say that he has a new job (a little earlier than you said) - at the moment it is temporary to December but it is hoped that it will be made permanent after six months!  I am hopeful that this is the more permanent thing you saw on the horizon and it is in a 'green' job - making all electric delivery vehicles so we hope it will last well into the future!   A big plus is that he is fitting in very well and enjoying the job.

Thanks for your uplifting reply to my enquiry. 
Best wishes,
Denise 

Yayy!!  Great news Denise.. .. brilliant.. such a good feeling from your letter, too.. excellent and thanks for sharing with us all!

Lynne : ))
