Hello everybody! It's another hot day here in GA. I hope you are all ready for a beautiful weekend and have great plans.
Today I am posting again about demonic possession. Yesterday I mentioned that I have met a few demonologists or "demon experts" over the years. Now I will tell you about the only person I have ever met that I truly believe was possessed. I've met a number of people who acted like they had a demon inside, but only one that probably did. This happened some years ago when I taught a psychic development class on a regular basis. Now I only teach them sporadically. At that time, we would occasionally invite a speaker to come to class to do a lecture. I had a recommendation for a man who was quite eager to do a lecture for free. After speaking to this person on the phone, I was unsure of his qualifications, because he sounded extremely vague. However, since he had been recommended to me by someone I knew well, I invited him to our next class. When he arrived, my doubts about him quickly multiplied. He had the appearance of a normal, middle-aged man, but still could not give me a real idea what he planned to teach. I did not suspect he was possessed, just a little off the wall. To put it bluntly, his speech was a little rambling and odd. It wasn't until he started to do his lecture that I began to suspect he was possessed. He very much started to spout metaphysical nonsense and his whole demeanor changed. This man quickly went from a seemingly mild, slightly unusual person to showing the real demon inside. The big tip-off that he was possessed was in his eyes. I can only describe this as he was no longer there. His eyes were flat, and evil. I was sure we were no longer seeing the man, but the demon. This is the only time this man was ever allowed to visit our class, though he offered to come again. I felt that it was best to cut off all contact.
In my many years of working with the public, I have met thousands of people. Out of all those people, I have only met that one man who I am sure was possessed. Maybe that will give you some idea how rare a real possession is. A true demonic possession can occur in some of the same ways as a spirit possession. It can happen when the human spirit is weakened, by an illness, grief, or even an emotional or mental instability. As I stated previously, these things can leave our spirits vulnerable to attack.
There are other ways that demonic possession can occur, even if the victim involved is not experiencing a weakness. The first and strongest reason is that the person has "invited" them in some way. This does not mean that the victim has wanted to be possessed, only that through some misguided actions, they have opened themselves to the possibility. As an example, let's say Bobby, who is an inquisitive fifteen year old, has started to delve into the occult. Now, I don't have any problems with that because I did the same when I was fourteen! Bobby though, has an attraction to the darker side and wants to contact a demon. This is really a fun and exciting adventure for him. He finds a spell on the internet and late one night, invokes a demon. Unfortunately for Bobby, he has neglected to learn how to properly protect himself under the circumstances. Instead of being able to control the demon, he finds himself being controlled.
Does that story sound like fantasy to you? It was only an example but it can happen. My strongest suggestion to anyone just learning about the occult and metaphysical world is not to conjure up demons! I can't imagine any reason other than evil to invoke a demon, and if you don't know what you are doing, I doubt it will end well.
You might also find yourself attacked by a demon while on a paranormal investigation. Sometimes a house or location may seem to be haunted by a spirit, but in fact it is a demon of some kind. It can be hard to determine if a presence in a haunted house is simply a negative spirit or a demon. Both spirits and demons can and often will lie about who and what they are. They may start by giving you some small indication that they are a little girl who is trapped on the earth. The next thing you know, you may see or sense a very dark presence that has nothing to do with a sad, lost child. That is when it is time to leave, people! It is also why I suggest never going on a paranormal investigation without wearing or carrying a protective amulet, symbol, charm, stone, etc. You never know who or what you are going to meet!
My next post will continue with demonic possession. We will discuss what a demonic possession is really like, and what to do if you think you are being attacked. Until then, blessings from Psykiksister.

Demonic Possession: Real or Fake?
Good afternoon, everybody! It's another hot day here in GA. After an unusually cool, rainy spring, summer has finally arrived. Can you believe it's almost June? Get out the swimsuits and flip-flops, and head for the beach!
Today I am posting about demonic possession, and if it is real or fake. Most of us probably think about "The Exorcist" movie when demonic possession is mentioned. There have been several versions of this movie which was supposedly based on a true story. I have no reason to doubt this, I'm only using the word, "supposedly", because I do not know for sure. If the story is true, I am certain Hollywood added a great number of effects for shock value. I find it hard to believe someone's head can spin around completely and survive it!
A real demonic possession is similar to a spirit attachment that we discussed in my last several blogs. The human spirit is attacked deliberately by a demonic spirit. In this case, the demon does not only wish to drain energy from the human spirit, but it wants to completely encompass the spirit. It wishes to take over the spirit and use it for its own purpose. This is a much more severe attachment than the ones we discussed previously. Think about it this way: a spirit attachment is like a vampire draining your spiritual blood. Spirits desire our energy. A demonic possession however, is like a vampire that desires your entire being! The demon wishes to take your body over, and "push" your spirit aside.
Let's discuss demons before we move ahead. Simply, demons are evil beings, that often enter our world. They exist in a different etheric plane and are often described as being from hell. There are reports and stories about demons from very early in history. The traditional view is that Satan, a fallen angel, is the "head demon" or leader, and demons are his minions. They are said to do his work. Whatever your religious or spiritual view of demons, one thing is certain: they are evil.
Demonic possession has also been reported from early in history. We have to question how many of these reports and stories were real, and how many of them were simply about mentally disturbed individuals. In fact, that is still a big question regarding demonic possessions today. Is the supposedly possessed person really possessed by a demon or do they just believe they are possessed? Are they displaying signs of a mental or emotional illness, or have they truly been attacked by evil? There is no easy answer on this one; it is a question for experts.
I do believe in the possibility of demonic possession. I think it is really a rare thing, but does happen. Fortunately I have not felt called to work with cases of possession. This has to be very difficult and unhappy work. During my many years working in the psychic field, I have met several people who did work involving demonic possessions. None of these people were Catholic priests, by the way. The Catholic church is certainly a long established authority on possession and exorcism. I have great respect for any knowledgeable demonologists who are sincere about their work. Like other metaphysical work though, there are many scam artists in this field. They may claim to be able to perform an effective exorcism, or remove the demon in some other way. Of course, they don't do this for free! Other "demon experts" do this work because of their interest in the field, or for their own glory. Hey, if you become well-known as a powerful exorcist, it might lead you anywhere! The problem here is that if someone is truly possessed, a well-meaning but ineffective "expert" might make the situation worse. They may also put themselves in danger at the same time.
My next post will continue our discussion on demonic possession. Until then, blessings from Psykiksister.

Spirit Attachments: True Or False, Part 4
Hello everybody! It is a beautiful day here in GA with lots of sun. I walked my usual two miles early this morning before it got too hot, and before I ran out of ambition!
Today I will conclude my blog about spirit attachments. Instead of including information about demonic attachments or possession in this segment, I have decided to write a separate blog about that. It will be coming up next time.
Now we need to discuss how to get rid of a spirit attachment if you feel you have one. The first thing I would tell you is to decide for yourself if you have a spirit attachment. Please do not pay anyone for this information, unless it is someone you know well and trust. If you have a long-time trusted psychic advisor and he or she feels you have a spirit attachment, that could be all to the good. The advisor may be able to remove the attachment for you, or tell yow how to remove it yourself. I would not pay anyone much money for this information, as it is widely available on the internet and in books. If you are told by anyone that they can remove the attachment for several hundred dollars, please get up and leave. It is more than likely this is a scam, and you will get little or no help.
Let's start with the spirit attachment from the living that I discussed on the last post. The first step in removing this attachment is to make a genuine assessment of the situation. You are certainly aware of who is so needy in your life that their spirit has latched onto your spirit. Consider who you are allowing to drain your energy. Yes, I said "allowing". Most of us do not want situations in our lives where we are the caretaker of a needy person. These are situations that we are thrust into by necessity or fate. Before taking any other steps, you must first realize that you have opened yourself up to this attachment in some way. You have been too kind, too caring, and probably just too darn good. We must take care of our responsibilities to our loved ones, but we do not have to give up our entire soul in the process. We can not allow anyone to drain our spiritual energy.
Now that you have made your assessment of your situation, you can take a couple of strong steps to release yourself from the spirit attachment. First, allow yourself some space from the needy individual. Even if you take ten minutes a day for yourself, this may help your situation. During those ten minutes, do a short meditation, or simply sit and clear your mind. Release yourself from the situation. I know there are many times in life where all of our attention must go to a sick loved one, or an invalid. You must have your time alone however, your spirit demands this. It is your time to recharge your spiritual energy and release yourself from the spirit attachment.
Both spirit attachments from the living and from an unknown spirit can usually be released by a chakra cleansing. You can do these chakra cleansings for yourself, you DO NOT need to pay someone $500 to do them for you!
Chakras are simply the energy centers that run through the body. Chakras get "clogged" or out of whack as a normal process during life. It is always good to do a cleansing if you feel off center or not yourself. Spirits, both living and dead, attach themselves to our chakras and "feed" off of our spiritual energy. The usual places that you feel this is in the heart chakra, or the back. It can feel like discomfort, or even a real, nagging pain. Cleansing the chakras can remove the spirit from our energies. It may require several times for the process, but you will feel better. Cleansing the chakras should leave you feeling renewed, lighter, relieved. You should certainly feel that way if you are trying to remove a spirit attachment.
I am going to give you two websites that have clear, effective descriptions of how to do a chakra cleansing. You do not need any tools of any kind for this, unless you wish to light candles and incense during your work. You can do these cleansings alone, and that is why I have chosen them. The sites are: www.mysticfamiliar.com Look on the left of the site and click on chakra cleansing, that should take you to the page. This is a wiccan site, so if you are very Christian, you may want to try the other site. It is: www.wikihow.com/open-your-spiritual-chakras I hope I have that one right! If you can't find it, just go to wikihow. com and type in cleansing chakras. There is much information online on this subject, but these two sites are good. I have nothing to do with either site, other than recommending them.
After you have done several chakra cleansings, you should feel a strong sense of relief and a lightness in your spirit. If you still feel there is a spirit attachment, it may be time to find a spiritual advisor to help you. Please be careful about choosing someone. A good spiritual advisor should have a reasonable price, and give you good results. Ask a trusted friend for a recommendation.
Next time I will blog about demonic possession. Until then, blessings from Psykiksister.

Spirit Attachment: True Or False, Part 3
Good afternoon, everyone! It's a hot day here in GA, but I'm sitting here in air-conditioned comfort. I grew up in a little frame house with no air-conditioning, and still remember how hot the summers were. We were used to it at that time, but now I bless whoever invented AC!
Today I am posting about spirit attachments, from the living. That may sound complicated, and indeed it is. I'm sure you are wondering how a living spirit can attach itself to another living spirit. These type of attachments are different than the ones we have discussed previously. These are usually spirit attachments from people we love, or care about. A spirit attachment from a living person often occurs because we care about them too much!
These attachments do not happen because we are in the wrong place at the wrong time, unlike the attachments we discussed earlier. They also have nothing to do with haunted houses or places. They occur for two very complicated reasons: we have a needy person in our life and/or we accept too much responsibility for that person. Now there are many occasions in life when we have to accept responsibility for another individual. We must care for our children, sometimes our spouses or partners, and often elderly parents. These responsibilities are part of life and do not automatically mean we will develop a spirit attachment. Sometimes we accept too much responsibility for another person, even if that person does not need or want our help. We open our heart and spirit to this person, and give too much. This can cause a spirit attachment if the loved one becomes too needy, and begins to lean on us more than necessary.
Some people in our lives can simply be too needy in themselves. Think of the example I gave you yesterday of a "energy vampire". What if your partner, child, or elderly parent, is so needy of your time and attention, that it simply drains all your energy? This can be the beginning of a spirit attachment by the living. These types of spirit attachments can start in a very positive way when we are simply caring for someone we love. If the loved one is too needy however, or we give too much, our spirit becomes drained. The person's spirit has attached itself to our spirit, usually at the heart chakra.
The heart chakra is an energy center in the chest, one of a system of energy centers in the body. The heart chakra is where our emotions reside. When we are grieving or "heart-broken" we often feel great pain in the heart chakra. It often feels like a physical thing. A spirit attachment from the living is often felt at the heart chakra, the center of our emotions. Someone we love or care for has attached their spirit there, and is draining our emotions. This is not a deliberate act. The "care-taking" person has given too much of themselves to the needy individual. Their spirit is being sucked away gradually, even if the other person has no desire to harm them.
If you have a spirit attachment by a living person, you may begin to feel a slight discomfort or emotional pain in the chest area. This is the heart chakra speaking to you. There may be a feeling of heaviness in the chest. This can feel physical, so be careful here. If you have chest related problems such as heart, lungs, etc. please do not confuse this with a spirit attachment! Spirit attachments can seem vague at times, heavy at others. They can be very temporary depending on the situation or last for years.
You might also feel this kind of attachment on the shoulders or upper back. If the love one feels like a true burden to you that you must carry around, this may be where the attachment lies.
If you feel that a spirit attachment from a living person has occurred, you must first and foremost look at your own involvement in the situation. Often for our own reasons we have opened our spirits a little too much to the other person. We have been too kind, too giving, or accepted too much responsibility. There are times we have to accept these responsibilities, and give every bit of energy we can to our loved ones. This is a good thing and we should be applauded for it. It is only when we knowingly or unknowingly make someone too dependent on us that our spirit suffers. That is when we develop a spirit attachment from the living.
Until next time, blessings from Psykiksister.

Spirit Attachment: True Or False, Part 2
Hello everybody and happy Memorial Day! I hope you are all enjoying a wonderful holiday and maybe some barbecue, too. Blessings to all of you who have a friend or family member in the armed forces, and to those who have a lost a loved one serving our country.
Today I'm posting again about spirit attachments. A true spirit attachment may be hard to identify. This may begin as a very small feeling of tiredness. You may think you simply overdid at the gym, or work. The spirit attachment may start to affect your sleep and dreams. You may go to bed exhausted, only to toss and turn, unable to sleep. It may even feel if someone, or something, is whispering in your ear. You may not be able to discern what is being said, but the whispering continues. Your dreams may range from slightly disturbing, to nightmares. There may be strange, unknown people in your dreams, all of them seeming to want something from you. A true spirit attachment will often leave you feeling more tired in the morning that when you went to bed.
Does any of that sound familiar? Please don't immediately assume you have a spirit attachment. There are many everyday, mundane reasons that the same things could be happening to you. We should always look for "normal" reasons for seemingly occult happenings before assuming that something bizarre has occurred. You may simply be experiencing some restless nights from being overtired, or the subconscious could be working out some problems through dreams. I have many nights when I don't sleep well, and have nightmares. I can promise you though that the only spirit attached to my body is my own!
If you seriously think you may have a spirit attachment, there are two things two consider. First, when did the attachment occur? Second, why is this happening to you? Before we try to answer these questions, let's look at why a spirit would want to attach itself to a living person. I do not believe that a positive spirit would attach itself to anyone. These spirits do not have to be negative, nor demonic, but they are always needy. They want our energy; it is very attractive to certain low level spirits. As an example of this type of spirit, think of someone you know who you might call a "psychic or energy vampire". This person could be friend or just an associate. I am talking about a live person here, the kind of person who is exhausting to be around. This person is always needy, and always wanting help. They may talk for hours about their problems, but never take your advice. After a visit from this person, you are left feeling drained. This is someone is extremely self-centered, and often attaches themselves to stronger, more positive individuals. They can easily suck the life out of you and your friendship, then move on to someone else.
Now imagine a spirit just like that. This spirit may have been a "energy vampire" in life, and continues the role after death. The spirit has not been able to move on to the next level of existence, or has chosen not to. He or she hangs around the earth until they run across a weakened individual with their defenses down. They latch onto this person eagerly and start draining their energy. Think of our energy or life force as a type of "food" or power to these hungry spirits. There is nothing personal about this attachment. The spirit may not be anyone we have known in our lives. This may answer our second question: why is this happening to us? The answer is simple: we were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The answer to question number one can be more complicated. When did this attachment occur? Spirit attachments can last for a short time, or for many months, or even years. Since they may start in a very small way, as I discussed above, they may not be really noticeable at first. If you feel that you have a spirit attachment, try to think of a time recently when you felt vulnerable. Have you been ill, either physically, emotionally, or mentally? Not just for a day or two, but maybe for several weeks or months. These are times when our psychic defenses are low, leaving us open to attack.
If you have been to haunted places, by choice or accident, you may have taken a spirit home with you. Sometimes we go to places that we have no idea are haunted, until we get some very uneasy feelings there. Or if you are part of a paranormal investigation group, you may have made a stronger contact with a spirit there than you desired. The spirit could have attached itself to you simply because it felt your energy. If you have gone to a haunted place while you were not feeling well in some capacity, this could have given a spirit a stronger opportunity to latch on to you. This is why I advise anyone doing paranormal investigations to stay home if they are not feeling well. Never leave yourself open to attack if you can possibly avoid it.
My next post will be about spirit attachment, from the living! Until then, blessings from Psykiksister.

I have many nights when I don't sleep well, and have nightmares. I can promise you though that the only spirit attached to my body is my own!
If you seriously think you may have a spirit attachment, there are two things two consider. First, when did the attachment occur? Second, why is this happening to you? Before we try to answer these questions, let's look at why a spirit would want to attach itself to a living person. I do not believe that a positive spirit would attach itself to anyone. These spirits do not have to be negative, nor demonic, but they are always needy. They want our energy; it is very attractive to certain low level spirits. As an example of this type of spirit, think of someone you know who you might call a "psychic or energy vampire". This person could be friend or just an associate. I am talking about a live person here, the kind of person who is exhausting to be around. This person is always needy, and always wanting help. They may talk for hours about their problems, but never take your advice. After a visit from this person, you are left feeling drained. This is someone is extremely self-centered, and often attaches themselves to stronger, more positive individuals. They can easily suck the life out of you and your friendship, then move on to someone else.
Now imagine a spirit just like that. This spirit may have been a "energy vampire" in life, and continues the role after death. The spirit has not been able to move on to the next level of existence, or has chosen not to. He or she hangs around the earth until they run across a weakened individual with their defenses down. They latch onto this person eagerly and start draining their energy. Think of our energy or life force as a type of "food" or power to these hungry spirits. There is nothing personal about this attachment. The spirit may not be anyone we have known in our lives. This may answer our second question: why is this happening to us? The answer is simple: we were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The answer to question number one can be more complicated. When did this attachment occur? Spirit attachments can last for a short time, or for many months, or even years. Since they may start in a very small way, as I discussed above, they may not be really noticeable at first. If you feel that you have a spirit attachment, try to think of a time recently when you felt vulnerable. Have you been ill, either physically, emotionally, or mentally? Not just for a day or two, but maybe for several weeks or months. These are times when our psychic defenses are low, leaving us open to attack.
If you have been to haunted places, by choice or accident, you may have taken a spirit home with you. Sometimes we go to places that we have no idea are haunted, until we get some very uneasy feelings there. Or if you are part of a paranormal investigation group, you may have made a stronger contact with a spirit there than you desired. The spirit could have attached itself to you simply because it felt your energy. If you have gone to a haunted place while you were not feeling well in some capacity, this could have given a spirit a stronger opportunity to latch on to you. This is why I advise anyone doing paranormal investigations to stay home if they are not feeling well. Never leave yourself open to attack if you can possibly avoid it.
My next post will be about spirit attachment, from the living! Until then, blessings from Psykiksister.

Spirit Attachment: True or False?
Good afternoon, everybody! It is a lovely Memorial Day weekend in GA. Hubby and I went for a four mile walk in the park this morning, followed by a great lunch at the Texas Roadhouse. Delish!
Today I am posting about spirit attachments. Some of you may be familiar with the term, "spirit attachment" or it may be new to you. A spirit attachment is when a spirit attaches itself to your spirit or energy. This can be a mild, very temporary situation, or at its worse, it can be a full demonic possession. Our big question today will be: is there really such a thing as spirit attachments?
Even if you have never heard of spirit attachments, maybe you have seen the movie, "The Exorcist" or other similar movies. This movie was an extreme dramatization of a demonic possession. With lots of Hollywood effects, of course! Spirit attachments and demonic possessions can be similar, but also very different. I will start by discussing spirit attachments and later move on to the much more severe demonic possession.
There is much disagreement in the metaphysical world about spirit attachments. Some people believe a spirit can not attach itself to our spirit or energy. Others not only believe that spirits can attach themselves to us, but that this happens often, and by multiple spirits. In fact, there are numerous psychic advisors of various kinds who offer to remove these spirits from you. Usually at a high price, too! Some of these so-called spirit attachment experts are knowledgeable psychic workers, but others are not. You will find quite a few scam artists in this field, I'm afraid.
I am somewhere in the middle in the theory of spirit attachment. Yes, I believe that such things can happen, all the way from a simple attachment to a full demonic possession. Do I think they happen on a regular basis? No, I do not. I think spirit attachment is an unusual event, and that actual demonic possession is rare. There are many reasons that someone may think he or she has a spirit attachment that may have nothing to do with spirits. Those reasons may involve emotional and mental illness or even just misinformation.
Let me give you some ideas of a typical spirit attachment, if there is such a thing as a "typical" one. A spirit attachment can manifest itself it numerous ways, so it may be difficult to tell what is really happening. The first and most important manifestation is that you feel drained, like all your energy is slowly slipping away. Now, who hasn't felt that way? Maybe your job is becoming increasingly busy, and as a natural result, you are just plain exhausted. It could also be that over a period of months, your vitamin level has gone down, leaving you with little energy. Do you see now how other things can resemble a spirit attachment? A feeling of low energy, of your life force draining away, do not mean that you have a spirit attached to you. It's possible that you just need to up the vitamin B!
However, one thing that spirits are attracted to is weakness in a living person. That weakness may be physical, such as a illness, emotional such as grief, or mental, such as clinical depression. These are things that leave our spirit weakened, too. Think back on a time when you were going through a weakness in your life, whether it was a serious illness, or the loss of a loved one. We all have times when our spirits are more open to attachment or even attack. This is one reason I posted about psychic shields in an earlier blog. A good psychic shield is your first and best defense against spirit attachment.
I will continue posting about spirit attachment in my next blog. We will look more at identifying a real spirit attachment and how to get rid of it. Until then, blessings from Psykiksister.

Astrology: Spice It Up, Part 4
Good afternoon, everybody! It's sunny and hot here in GA today, following a huge storm yesterday. It hailed so hard that my back porch looked like it was covered in snow. Five minutes later it was sunny!
Today I am posting about astrology again. We will look at astrological connections that can bring two people together, but maybe not for long. Previously, we have examined certain conjunctions and oppositions that can represent long-term connections. There are other astrological configurations that can heat up relationships, but may work best for mature couples. Not everyone is seeking a life-long commitment, in fact, they may be looking for a night or two of fun! There is nothing wrong with that idea, as long as it is agreeable to both people.
The main planet positions that can bring people together briefly but not always forever are Uranus, Venus, Saturn, and Neptune conjunct or in opposition to the moon, sun, Venus, or Mars. All of these conjunctions or oppositions can bring attraction and interest into astrology charts of couples. They can represent an initial attraction, can be very exciting, but they can also give an indication that the attraction might fizzle out quickly. If there are other, stronger astrological ties between the couple, these configurations might just add spice. If there are not other, stronger ties, I would proceed with caution. No reason to give up a hot possibility, but you might only consider enjoying it while it lasts.
Let's look at Uranus and other planets first. When the Uranus placement of one partner conjuncts or opposes the Venus, Mars, moon, or sun, of their partner, this can initially be a very strong attraction. The two people feel very drawn together and it may be difficult for one or both of them to see their partner as they really are. It's like a beautiful romantic, dream world! It's great for a while, but usually doesn't last long. If there are no other strong ties between the couple, they will soon see the reality of the situation and move on.
When Venus and Mars conjunct or oppose the sun or moon, this can also represent a romantic or sexual connection. This connection is often found in charts of mature people who are not seeking a permanent relationship. One partner may be married, or otherwise committed to someone else. The romantic and sexual attraction is strong, but doesn't always last. This two people want to be together, but it may only be in a physical way.
If Saturn conjuncts or opposes the moon or sun in the charts of a couple, this can be a whole different story. Saturn is the planet of responsibility and restriction. This connection between people can be difficult, but sometimes lasts for years. As an example, let's say Ben and Barry meet and initially are attracted. Yes, they are a gay, male couple. I use them only as an example. Saturn connections can occur between any two people. Ben and Barry quickly move in together, and then buy a house, along with two terriers, a year later. They feel a strong sense of responsibility to each other as years go by, not to mention all the things they have acquired together. The love and passion quickly fade, and they often resent each other. Still, Saturn's sense of responsibility keeps them together. Unfortunately, Saturn's restrictions often makes them feel they can not leave the relationship.
A Neptune and moon, sun, or Venus conjunction or opposition between two people is usually a spiritual tie. These two people may have similar ideals or even religions. As an example, let's say Laurie and Lamont meet at a political rally when they are young. There is a initial attraction, mainly based on similar beliefs and ideals. They may feel more excited to meet someone with the same passions, than someone they feel passionate about!
This couple talks hours on end about their beliefs and ideas. Even though they don't have other strong ties in their astrology charts, they do marry and have a life together. Their problems begin as they mature and start developing different goals and beliefs. Life often leads us down different paths, and the things we felt so passionate about at twenty, no longer interest us at forty. Laurie and Lamont may need to develop some new interests together if this marriage is to last.
Until next time, I'm hoping you all find your astrologically perfect match!
