Dear Anita,

I’m posting this separately as it’s about something completely different, but something I’d like to share with you.  I’m sorry it’s a lot to read, hope that’s okay?

It’s about a situation where I feel very challenged as I have been too afraid to get close to people after all the deception and disappointment I experienced, having discovered many of my so-called friends were actually frenemies.  But I want to embrace life again, so …

An acquaintance of mine is coming to visit me today.  We are going to talk about the possibility of setting up a business together (plants/garden centre/agriculture).  It is still very much theory though as neither of us has money, so we would have to look for an investor.

I set up our horoscopes as a relationship.  It is overall amazingly excellent for setting up a business and working constructively together, but there are two things I’m not so happy about, and they are “old friends”.

The first is that it shows a lack of balance: one person is more “advanced” in some way that the other.  What if each were to feel that?  She has land, machinery and contacts, but I have much more practical knowledge and a much broader range of practical talents.  How to craft a fair deal under those circumstances?

I am concerned because I always chose love relationships which were unequal, they were either intellectually or otherwise not really on a level with me.  I don’t know this person that well, but maybe there is something I need to be aware of to not attract unequal partnerships, or how to fix this?

Secondly, there is a very worrying indicator regarding relationships (Neptune, in case you know about astrology).  This  planet represents deception and is the indicator I’d have paid attention to with my husband, had I known astrology back then.  However, this doesn’t mean she is the deceiver, it could mean we both have to be careful of being unrealistic, and unfortunately definitely indicates the possibility of being deceived by our clients, or lawyer, accountant etc.

BUT – if you are very consciously aware and spiritually active, then you could make this into something positive, as Neptune also represents spirituality.  I don’t know if that’s a lot to ask of oneself or another person though. I suppose you could say Neptune is like the god of Mindfulness in a positive sense, but those who don’t find the positive entrance end up lost in addictions and fantasies.

This relationship horoscope also shows a Neptune-Mars connection which means you could realise your dreams through taking action, and you can sell your clients the realisation of their dreams.

I love all the beauty and art and spirituality of Neptune, it’s my life’s blood, especially when expressed in nature, but I have had so much negative experience with its negative aspects, like getting caught up in illusions, fog, fantasy.  I’ve never had problems with addictions of any kind, Neptune always turns up for me negatively through relationships (though not all).

On the other hand … I realise everything is going to have ups and downs as we are all only human and I urgently have to do something to become financially independent again and never have to see my husband again, and I certainly feel very good about plants.

I will speak with my friend about this today too, of course, but I am very interested to know what you think of all this and what comes to your attention?
