This Month's Questions;Each month, Madam Lichtenstein graciously answers those burning questions you've sent her. Consulting both your astrology chart and/or her Tarot cards, she uses her years of experience, common sense and innate talents to send you along on your journey well-equipped and well-informed. Here are this month's questions!
Q. I met a great woman at work whom I really get along great with. She is everything I've wanted in a girlfriend, and we've had the chance to meet outside of work for coffee, and it's been terriffic! I really like her a lot, but she's 15 years older than I. (Her b-day is 1-20-75) Is there any chance of us having a relationship, beyond friendship?
A. Don't even think about the age factor. The tarot cards say that it is a relationship of beauty, creativity and ferility (The Empress) and is a wonderful change in your (and her) life (7 of pentacles card). There will be dramatic changes and maybe some headaches over it but it appears to be something that is worth the effort. Good luck!
Q. When am I going to get my own apartment, and will I succeed in keeping it?
A. The tarot cards indicate that you will definitely get an apartment within six months - it is what you want (2 of cups) and you will change residences (7 of cups). New beginnings! Will you keep it? Up to you babe. The cards say it will be a lot of effort, but it is possible. Send me your change of address!
Q. I've got a crush on this girl that I know in school. I don't really know her that well. I really want to ask her out. My friends think I should find out if she's gay first, but it isn't really the sort of thing you just ask a person you hardly know. I thought that maybe I should just ask her out and see what she says. What do you think?
A. You have sun in capricorn, moon in scorpio and mercury, venus and mars in aquarius. Aquarians are willing to try anything and have avery idealistic approach to life. How you think (mercury), love (venus) and act (mars) are in this independent sign.But your sun (basic personality) is in conservative capricorn; the sign that doesn't take risks because it is afraid of failure. Why not apply the conservative sense of capricorn with the idealistic aquarius and approach her as a friend first? As you get to know her, you'll know whether you'll want to take it the next step. Heck, maybe you'll find out she is just too boring to bother ... then again maybe not. Take it one step at a time and good luck!
Q. Will I meet the woman of my dreams? I have crushes on 3 women mainly. Two of them are in positions of where I can't date them, and the other is a celebrity. It is so hard to move on. How can I? In addition to finding my lover, am I in the right major? I feel passionately for marine mammals, and yearn to be a Marine Vet.
A. The cards say that you are too wound up with inaccessible women. You have to give up something in order to achieve success. Are you in the right major? I'd say so --- and there are two (count 'em two) fabulous babes that surround you in your studies (7 of wands). One is a creative and a beauty the other is a practical, business woman. You are a lucky girl - forget about who you can't have and concentrate on who you can.
Q. will my money sitauation and my home life improve soon?
A. I see a little delay (of about 6 months to two years with the Temperance card) but the tarot cards indicate that you are definitely on the right track. You have turned 30 this year - indicating the end of your Saturn return. The SR is a three year period (27-30) of intense change, turmoil and frustration. You must learn your lessons before you can go forward. As you finish off your SR, you will begin to be more in control of your life and what you want to accomplish. I see you moving in the right direction. Be patient - it's happening.
Q. i've decided to concentrate these few years on my art work. can i make something big out of it? well...... i'm an artist. and will i meet my soul-mate lover soon?
A. okay girlfriend, You asked two sets of questions. Your artwork? Yes, the tarot says you can make a go of it but it will take an excessive amount of time, energy and effort to do it successfully (9 of pentacles). Make the decision (The lovers card) and it can happen).Your lovelife? I see two women in the next six months - one a tough babe (helps you overcome your roadblocks) the other a mother figure ( nurturer and spoiler). Ah the best of both worlds. Take your choice, sister.
Q. I am in a loving relationship of 4 years. Her birthdate is 3-31-58 (Evening, I don't know the time. Is this "The One?" I am truely in love, but find myself holding something back.
A. First I checked your personal planets - you have mercury and venus in Aries; a sign that knows what it wants and has no trouble going after it. Your moon sign (how you express your emotions) is either in pisces (wishy washy) or aquarius (hard to pin down). Now we may be getting somewhere. Your girlfriend has sun in aries - strong willed but venus in aquarius (maybe she gives off a hard to reach vibe?). Is she the One? You both seem well matched astrologically but may need to discuss intimacy and the expression of feelings to be sure that no one feels ignored. Sound right?
Q. I am living with my girlfriend, Amanda (6-12-80). I love her, and she wants to get married; however, I've been hurt before, and want to know if I can really trust her committment to me.
A. Has Amanda hurt you before? Try not to judge her by what others did. The cards say that you need to put your emotions aside and think logically about this. It is a good match! She happens to have a load of gemini in her chart so be sure to keep her interested mentally as well as physically - leave her little love notes and mysterious puzzles and games (with you as the prize!) Enjoy!!!
Q. i am going to visit an aquarian who i had a brief affair with a couple years ago with. will it be a good visit?
A. The tarot cards say that overall it will be a great visit (3 of cups) but there may be an aspect of it that will not be worth the effort (8 of pentacles). Is it a far journey? The cards seem to indicate so. If so, it will be the travel that may be problematic and not the visit. CHeck to make sure that you have packed everything that you will need. Enjoy, you wild Leo lass, you!
Q. What does life have in store for me? Will I be happy, sad, in
between...? Let's see...oh...I am bisexual. I've been with my boyfriend for three years now and he totally supports me but is he the "man" that will be in my life for a long time to come? Will I have a significant woman?
A. I believe that we can control our fates and make of life what we want. Will you
be happy? Well, that's up to you - I've seen folks with just about everything - great looks, loads of dough etc and they are still not happy. (How's that for a cop out answer:)? )That being said, the cards indicate a significant woman coming into your life - you lucky girl! She will be beautiful, creative and will give you a sense of place and wisdom in life. Right now you are in suspension (The Hanged MAn appears) about relationships (3 of wands). You have to decide where you want to be and who you want to be with. And when it all comes down to it, only you can decide.
Your man gives you a mixed bag - there is love but he may be high maintenance (or is it you??).
Q. ive liked this girl for almost 3 months now. her birthday 06-30-83.
ive really wanted to tell her how much i like her for soo long. im really afraid of wut she'll think and her reaction to it. im really not sure that shes ever thought about a girl like the way i think about her. everyday in school, i try to maneuver my way in the halls just so that i see her in between each period. shes really funny and i just wish we could be better friends. we met on a retreat on march 5. i didnt actually start talking to her til the 6th and we had a great time playing ping pong. i want to know if we will be able to build a stronger friendship and if we do, will there be anything more than a friendship. i would also like to know if i should tell her or not and what her reaction would be if i were to tell her. thanx so much.
A. This is always an interesting situation. Let's see what the cards say.The question is - can you be closer friends with her and the answer is a qulaified yes. I see an excellent partnership (three of cups card). She pops up as the Queen of Cups - beautiful, creative and kind. But I see that your efforts to set foundations with her may run into a snag - maybe there'll have to be a big compromise on your part, maybe you will have to give up something.
I suggest that you proceed as you are doing, getting to know her better and better. You can then better ascertain what she is really like and who she would really like. Good luck! My thoughts are with you.
Q. I'm in a fairly new to this relationship almost 4 months, i know i love her and she loves me but i sence a wall up between us. Her b-date is 7-16-66. she askes me my feelings i answer and she holds them against me for future dates so i have been gun shy to open up with my feelings? i'm very shy and quiet around new people, but when i'm around her i dont talk. will this relationship work? or am i just holding on to hold on? i've made an extreme change (S/M lifestyle) for her but she's not willing to give up her computer room chats? compromise and meeting half way isnt working... am i being petty?
A. Heck, I thought relationships were two way streets. Since when does one partner have to compromise while the other does not?You have sun in virgo, moon (emotions) in aquarius and venus (love) in libra. You can bend so far back in love that you can touch your forehead to your heels, but why do that?
She has sun in cancer, venus in gemini (I would need her time of birth for her moon sign). This means that she can be flirtatious and somewhat fickle. Forget about trying to pry her away from her chat rooms. Venus in electric, dual Gemini has no self control there.
In fact, astrologically, you two make a pretty good match, but as I always say, it takes two to tango and if she is not into givng in a bit and making you feel good about yourself, then you should look elsewhere. Astrological compatibility makes the rough spots smoother but we always have free will to create our own new rough spots. Too bad.
Q. My girlfriend of a year wanted to have an open relationship, so we tried it for a while. i began to date this other girl who didn't understand the concept of an open relationship and when i tried to explain it to her (about a month into the relationship) she got very upset and left me. she then sent me a very angry letter, but feels guilty for it now. she is a wonderful person and i want to continue a friendship with her, but she will not return my letters. she says she feels bad for what she wrote to me and doesn't want to talk to me. her birth date is 02-04-82. will she and i ever regain a close friendship?
A. open relationships are so tricky. Well, I asked the cards and the cards say yes, it is possible to restart your relationship with gal #2, after a while. But your #2 has Venus in Capricorn, a low-esteem placement. (Oh if you had only asked me first!) You have to go overboard to convince her that she is the one. Is she the one? Pleas don't try to repair the relationship unless you want to commit solely to her. It will be too painful for her otherwise.
Q. Me and my crush of two years have always had trouble with timeing (one of us is always in a relationship when the other isn't)until a couple of months ago when i went home and saw her and told her how i felt about her and she said she had the same feelings. we ended up having sex and I broke off a relationship I'd had for a year. When I got home I thought everything was cool between me and my crush, but now she won't return my phone calls or answer my letters. What's a girl to do? She told me that she wasn't ready for a relationship and I told her the same, but she still seems weirded out. Was it not meant to be? She's a Scorpio 11/9/78
A. Oh those Scoprios! Passionate and controlling and just too darn sexy for their own good. Most of us are simply moths to their flames and flies to their webs.She not only has sun in scorpio, but her moon (emotions) is in romantic, dreamy, creamy Pisces and her venus (love) is in Scopio. You have a ladykiller, sister. But let me let you in on a secret - women with those sign placements can fall hard when they do fall and that weirds them out big time. Maybe you simply hit the spot and she needs to catch her breath?
You have sun in libra, moon in aquarius and venus in scorpio. You can match her for passion with your venus, but your airy sun and moon is more open, trusting and friendly. Give her time. Do your thing. She'll come back. They always do.
Q. i am in love with a woman who's birth day is may, 9 1952 and we want to get married will this work? and will we be able to get her a USA visa to live here in mississippi? she lives in vancouver canada now.
A. The tarot cards say that the relationship can work but there will be some delays (the Temperance card) of about 6 months to 2 years. There are dramatic changes taking place (The Tower) and some stress (Ace of Swords). However, I see a business opportunity and that can certainly help.Will she be able to get a visa and stay in the US? The cards don't seem to indicate this is possible at this time (The Devil - problems that you are aware of that must be solved before you can go forward). However, there may be a change in plans because of a job.
Q. I'm a Gemini, and I'm dating a Scorpio. Will this match work?
A. I need to know more than just your sun signs. For example, you have sun in gemini, moon (emotions) in sagittarius and venus (love) in leo. You are very friendly, honest and generous in love and relationships. If your girlfriend has any air or fire signs in her chart, especially for her moon or venus, that is a great match. Plesa send me her birthdate and I'll have a look.
Q. about my relationship with my partner
A. What about your relationship?
Will it work out? The Tarot cards indicate there is some stress going on - frustrations, money concerns, having to make a decision to get out of a rut. Am I warm??
Q. What signs are compatible with cancers?
A. A not so simple answer to a simple question: We have to look at the entire chart to see what signs are compatible with someone who is a sun sign cancer. You happen to have moon in taurus. Moon sign are how we express our emotions. Your venus is in cancer (how you express love). So you may be more attracted to beautiful women who you can mother or who mother you. Who are more home bodies and who love to cook... and eat.
The sun sign alone doesn't explain it all. If you have a particular gal in mind, please send me her birthdate and I'll take a look at her moon and venus signs.
Q. what will my lesbian relationship hold in store for the future and will we have a sucessful life together financialy and loving. We have been with each other for two years now.She is a cancer I've heard thats a good match for my sign is this true .Could you also tell me what my calling in life is I've tried modeling and don't feel very happy with that you see I well let me refraise that we have two children ages eight and nine and I just don't know how to find a work schedule for me and my lover because she works second shift and I don't want to lose any time with her 'the children will be upset when shool starts because they will lose time with their stepmom whom they love very much. Please respond I really need some good adivce. Thank you madam for taking time for the lesbians in the world.
A. The tarot cards indicate that while it is a stressful time, ositive changes are possible. You have to think logically (Two of Wands) and practically though (Page of Pentacles).You have sun in capricorn, moon in virgo and venus in aquarius. If you can send me your partner's birth information I can let you know how compatible your planets are. A sun sign cancer is good because it aspects your moon (emotions) and sun (personality) well.
I believe you have Aries rising which places Capricorn on your house of career. You need to achieve status and financial success to really feel happy. Try thinking about changing ot a career that really pays off. How about internet design? You can work from home and it pays well. Just a suggestion.
Q. I am only 16 years old and still a sophomore in high school (yuck!) I am so terrified to tell anyone I'm a lesbian for fear of what might happen to me at my small hick school where they have never seen the likes of anyone like me. I wanted to know if I tell, will people care? and when, O when will I ever meet my girlfriend?
A. Don't despair! As your self appointed big sister, I can tell you that all will work out well for you with a little patience.The tarot cards say that telling others in your school at this time is inadvisable. It is bad speculation (The eight of Pentacles) and may cause more trouble than it's worth. Wait until college or until you make your own way in the world after high school - which is not that far off in the scheme of things. Will you have a girlfriend within the next three years? The cards say yes!
Oh and by the way, 16 year old high schools sophomores are not yucky at all! Ahem!
Q. So, what does the future hold for Tracy and I?
A. The Chariot card came up - success! The Ten of Pentacles - long term profitability! But I do see a surprising business offer that could cause a temporary separation. All's well that ends well but it will create a few minor snags along the way. Maintain your mutual admiration society and all will go extremely well.
Q.ok i really like this guy, the only problem is that i heard he is a player. he always talks to me and tells me how we should hook up. i also heard that he might do drugs. what should i do? his bday is march 8, 1982. remember that i really like him.
A. This is a Lesbian astrology site. What do you want me to say about this "gem" of yours? You are young and impressionable and have a lifetime of potential ahead of you. Don't waste it on any man especially PISCEAN ones. Nuf said.
Q. I've just moved into a new city (been here for nine months now), and I am just starting to meet some nice girls. The problem is, I'm not sure if I like them because I like them, or I like them because I'm lonely. There is one girl in particular, smart, funny and with the same interests as me. She's a gemini (June 8th I believe). Is there hope for a romance between us? She hasn't had a relationship with a woman before, but I know she does want to try it with someone special...
A. You have sun and mercury in libra, venus and moon in virgo and mars in cancer. While I know that your friend is gemini, I would like to see where her moon (emotions) and venus (how she expresses her love) is.With all that Libra, you may have a tendency to get lonely since Libras are very sociable and need a crowd. With your moon and venus in virgo, you are loyal and steady in love and I would like to see you with a woman who can provide you with the stability and loyalty you deserve.
Can you give me a bit more on your friend - birthdate with year? I'll see what's going on with her.
