“Dear Kyra”

Dear Kyra,

I need your help. I feel like I’m stuck in regards to my employment and being involved in a relationship. I can’t seem to get a break in finding work or more income. I don’t know how much more I can take. I’m a single father and I even had to let my son stay with relatives until I get more money coming in. It’s tearing my heart apart being away from him.

I would love to be involved in a relationship, but right now that wouldn’t be right to the other person; they deserve someone who is more financially stable. I haven’t seen anyone since my divorce and sometimes I even wonder if anyone will ever come into my life.

Dear Hopeful,

You have Sun, Moon, Mercury, and Uranus in Leo with a Scorpio Rising, which means that you are a natural leader and it is best to work for yourself, whether that would be running your own business, being a motivational speaker, independent consulting for a company, or working in marketing and sales. You aren’t meant to get stuck in one organisation working with a limited number of people because your likable, charming, electric personality is supposed to touch and inspire more lives than that. If you’ve ever been something like a restaurant manager, you might have realised that even though you are well-cast as an authority figure with your abundance of Leo, you will not be comfortable following corporate rules for very long because a South Node in Aries makes cooperation a challenge for your self-reliant nature. This is tempered somewhat by Venus and Mars in Virgo, which can make you helpful, detail-oriented and responsible when you feel respected at a job. A major reason that some jobs in the past haven’t worked out (other than global economic changes) is because they weren’t aligned with your destiny, so you were taken away from them time and again to direct you onto a new path. You will get some good news on or after June 28th, once Mercury moves into Leo. A positive shift in your circumstances takes place by August, and the next big break for you in employment and love should be coming by October, when Venus moves into your relationship sector in the sign of Virgo.

Saturn in Capricorn means that your greatest challenge in this lifetime would be centred around fatherhood. It indicates many life lessons related to fatherhood, both in your relationship to your own father and in this current predicament with your son. Your son had a previous lifetime in the 19th-century when he was your uncle and guardian and chose to leave the family for a period of time to find work during the stressful transitions of the Industrial Revolution. As painful as this must be for you right now, you are allowing him to work through that karma and, believe it or not, repaying this karmic debt will make his adult years easier. This is also a very temporary situation and he will soon be living with you again. He should be coming for a visit in August, when the moon and Sun are in Leo, and will most likely move back by December, if not sooner. August is a wonderful month for you in new beginnings and you should be seeing some positive life changes at that time.

The good news is that your highest destiny in this lifetime due to a North Node in Libra is romantic love. Spending time alone is a challenge for you with a North Node in Libra, yet a temptation to isolate will be strong with the presence of perfectionism stemming from the Venus and Mars in Virgo in your chart. Now is the time to fight that tendency, reach out to others, and perhaps join a support group such as Debtors Anonymous. The dynamic of the group will renew your faith in mankind, heal psychological trauma from the recent past, and build social skills that will ultimately ensure success in your upcoming love relationship. You can gain significant wisdom by practising sharing, listening and acceptance in this group, which not only gives your next relationship a better chance of lasting, but will also be a meaningful example for your son. Until all this chaos turns to order, try a prayer to get through this time with increased peace of mind. Hold your hands up to the sky, palms up, and say or think, “I am giving up ____(money fears, worry about the future, or anything that’s on your mind more than you would like it to be)_____ just for today.” If the worry returns, repeat the prayer until you are not thinking about your concern anymore. Wishing you luck along the way. Please keep in touch and let me know how it goes!
