wow--what an interesting horoscope today...

[Blue_Roses]

I get a daily horoscope in my email everyday and today this one hit home with me. I already talked with a friend this morning who is running from her abusive estranged husband and shortly after, I checked my email and saw this:


"Maintaining equilibrium may not be the easiest task today, but if anyone can do it, you can. You may find that strong opinions from others crop up to challenge you. You have a great deal of ammunition in your arsenal, and you will find that you can learn quite a bit by accepting this challenge and engaging in a heated debate. Have faith in yourself."


Do you find that some days words resonate while on other days, those same words go in one ear and out the other? Wonder what makes us more "in tune" some days but less connected on other days?

Please send some light to my friend. She is in a bad situation and won't call the police because she is afraid the report will cause more trouble, especially since she is trying to get custody. I told her for the sake of her safety and the kids, CALL or I will. She begged me not to call. She can't go home because this guy is camped out in her driveway:crazy: I think I'm going to go over there and try to talk to him...

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated:-(

1. Oh no.

I don't like the sound of that. Why not have her seek out a shelter with a staff who can advise her? They have a lot of experience in these matters. There have been too many news stories of late about men gone deranged. I worry for you, regardless of your horoscope. I think someone like Rick would discourage you from using it this way.

You asked. Maybe consider my post the strong opinion from others that challenge you.

3. I think you're right...

I had someone call me after I talked with her and they discouraged it as well.

Thank-you:hug:

6. Good! I read this but couldn't respond until now.

Please stay safe, Blue_Roses. :hug:

I will send light to your friend; I hope that she's able to completely free herself from this man's control. (I know that they have a child, so that will complicate things.

:(

11. Exactly

IT'S NOT THAT YOUR IN TUNE OR OUT, the horoscope writers for the most part are GUESSING.
SOme are good.
Don't follow that stuff, what we need to see is what aspects are happening to the person in question. We need the birth chart and time.

Don't fool with this character, call the Police
good luck to her

2. Horoscope accuracy varying--absolutely

When I have something big going on in my life, it seems that more daily horoscopes speak directly to me and are highly accurate, while when I am in a fallow period, just kind of going along day to day without any drama, the horoscopes don't really apply to me.

As for your friend, sending her light for a difficult situation. I would think that her reporting an abusive spouse would actually HELP her case as she tries to get custody. :shrug:

4. that's what I said...

but it's the ex-spouse from her first marriage. They have a ten-year-old daughter and he doesn't like this guy she is married to (can't blame him) so he is seeking full custody. My friend has filed for divorce so she's hoping this will help her case. She and her husband now have a baby together, so she is confused and feels all alone. I feel for her cause she's not that strong right now.

She needs to kick this guy to the curb for good and get to know herself again! But, what can I say:shrug: other than be supportive. I couldn't put up with someone like this jerk over and over again like she does. It's sad.

5. Oh! I see--that is entirely different

The first ex could say she's an unfit mother for allowing an abusive man in a house with his child. I get it. That IS sad. She has enough to worry about without having to deal with her first ex trying to pull her child away from her. Poor woman. Yes, I guess all you can do is be supportive and try to steer her toward social and legal professionals who can help her because they've dealt with scenarios like this hundreds of times before (unfortunately). Does she have a lawyer yet?

[Blue_Roses]

9. yes and she is paying so much for him..

I can understand her ex's concern for his daughter, but good grief...

I tried to call her and got her answering machine. I had to go to work so I haven't talked with her yet. I told her to call me no matter what time or wherever she was if she needed me. My daughter and her daughter are good friends so I've tried to not let on what's going on too much.

Geeze...

7. I wouldn't confront him.

Try to encourage her to seek help from a women's shelter. If she doesn't or can't do that, keep a close eye on her. There may be a time that you feel that you NEED to contact the police for her.

I had a coworker once who made alot of excuses for the way her SO treated her. She was almost 9 mo pregnant when I saw him yelling at her in the parking lot at work. He shoved her to the ground, stood over her and kept yelling. I called the police then and they were there in a very short time. Her immediate office coworkers called me to thank me for calling the police, because they could not get her to call them and they didn't want to get involved in her personal life. It was after that, that she actually did make a break from him and get herself and her new baby into a women's shelter.

I'll be keeping you and your friend in my thoughts and prayers.

8. Your reply reminds me of the story

I saw on Oprah about a supervisor and her employee. They devised a code word for the victim to use if she were ever in a situation in which she needed to escape immediately. The time came when she indeed had to use it. Her supervisor knew exactly what to do at that point.

[Blue_Roses]

10. thank-you...

actually, he shoved her down and caused her to go into early labor. She keeps saying she knows she is bringing this on herself by not dumping him.( easier said than done!) But today, she said she wanted him out for good and told him to please leave her alone, but he won't. I'm just sick, 'cause she has been struggling with this guy for two years now. She split with him for a long while and that was the happiest I've ever seen her. It seems the stronger she gets the more he wants her, but as soon as she gives in, he treats her like shit.
