This practice wastes your time, makes you feel used, and worse, gives you the feeling that you weren’t “good enough” for him to marry. I call these “engaged on principle, placeholder in action” kind of relationships, also known as Fool’s Gold relationships. This is because it looks so nice on the outside, but it’s actually a worthless and fake relationship in every sense of the word.

In the past, however, the subject seemed to be overlooked. Many women were subjected to being sexually harassed and assaulted by men who felt as though they were in the right and looking to gain positions of power. Sadly, years went by with a society that would rather brush things under the rug than face these wrongdoings head-on. Without support, even powerful women fell to the silence that follows a sexual assault....

The first thing I discovered is that I know an extraordinary number of witches. As I spoke publicly about my research, I started receiving private messages from mostly solitary witches sharing how they practice witchcraft and what it means to them. There were similarities in their stories, but there were key differences, too. While some were religious witches, others chose a secular practice without a deity. My research also took me to a psychic fair where I signed up for tarot card readings, palm readings, and a visit with a spiritual medium....

The West Side Story plot has won awards both on stage and on the silver screen and has inspired a score of reboots, references, and characters. Most recently was the 2021 West Side Story reboot, directed by Steven Speilberg — which, so far since its release date on December 10, 2021, has a 91% on Rotten Tomatoes (despite its lackluster ticket sales). The filming of the 1961 movie by the same name is not without both facts and controversy....

Obviously, those children lead very different lives and undoubtedly need to abide by different rules compared to a typical household.

It’s not your fault. It’ll be better this way. We’ll be happier. Of course, those words mean nothing to a 16-year-old girl whose life just fell apart. Divorce meant two Christmases, two birthdays, two houses. Two lives. I couldn’t even understand how different my life would be at that moment; I only knew that I couldn’t easily hold on to both my mom and dad while they lived miles away from each other....

In marriage, we also need rituals to deal with the good and bad times and these rituals will keep as well as increase the passion and aliveness in your intimate relationship. It’s what makes sticking to your vows so attractive. It’s what makes marriage so important. That commitment to each other, and seeing that commitment every day. The rituals I am about to discuss are best done on a daily or at least almost daily basis....

To be even more precise, I was burned out. I just didn’t realize it at the time. For certain personalities who like to be active all the time, it’s easy not to notice areas where a lack of balance could be an issue. That was me, and I needed to find ways to reclaim lost balance. RELATED: 3 Things You Must Stop Doing In Order To Survive Today’s Burnout Culture...

The future of your relationship after the discovery of an affair is often determined by how you, as members of the couple, recover. You could call these categories “bad, better, and best”, though Perel describes them as: “they never really get past the affair”, “they pull themselves up by the bootstraps and let it go” or “they leave it far behind”. Your chances for happiness hang in the balance. RELATED: The 7 Steps (Almost) Every Marriage Experiences Before A Major Affair...

This is exactly the kind of transit that makes people fall for the wrong person. Maybe we just want something so badly that we project it on to the people who pass us by maybe we want to be in love with someone special, and because that doesn’t happen at the time when we wish for it, instead of listening to our heart, we make up a story that tells us that ’everything is OK....

This crosses over into the realm of love and romance rather well. This is a very auspicious season for taking one’s relationship and announcing it as ’exclusive.’ It’s nice to date casually and it’s wonderful to get to know someone especially when we find out that this person is someone we’d like to know even better.

Moon sextile Uranus is the perfect time to forgive your enemy because this transit lets you feel the balance that occurs, once you set things straight. You let this ’enemy’ take it all, even your mind, and who needs that after a while? There’s no balance in giving it all to someone you consider to be an enemy, and when you finally give them up, you find peace.

For Gemini. Taurus, and Leo, when the Moon is opposite of Pluto a few challenges take place on April 9, 2022.

Accusations will fly and there will be a whole lot of backstabbing going on....

Sometimes it takes a life time to come to terms with who we are - and to love ourselves for exactly that. For Taurus, Gemini, and Pisces zodiac signs who learn to love themselves starting October 19 during the Moon trine Venus, acceptance is within reach. Sometimes it takes a spiritual revolution, or a change of perception - and sometimes we have to pinpoint what it is we DON’T love about ourselves that has kept us from knowing peace in our lives - as it’s very hard to live in peace when we don’t love ourselves - body, soul and mind....

The interesting irony about today’s transit is that it’s all about complexity; there’s no subtle lesson here, there’s just outright confusion with very little simplicity. And when this transit — the Moon trine Saturn — hits you, it will stir up the dire need for simplicity in one’s love relationship. It’s as if today is the day we wake up saying, “please, let this day be easy for me, love-wise....
