Oh My Dearest God in heaven, Is there any one out there who can point me in the right direction?

I am Ronald, age 46, just right now going through a separation and divorce after 24 years of living with the same woman who I loved beyond imagination. My crime is never having made it financially to support my wife in the manner she would like to be. It’s caused me heart ache and pain beyond imagination... I have reached a point where I now at this age when I have absolutely no income or home.

Now here's the problem. I have been to 3 of the best Hindi astrologers in the past 4 years and all have said that I am going through this period of time in my horoscope called Shani, which is a bad period lasting for 16 years. During this time one can accomplish nothing and marriages will fail and so forth and it has all been true. No matter what I try I cannot move from this space, where once were opportunities and good luck now there is nothing but failure after failure.

I need to know if this astrological reading in my horoscope is something I change through will power or prayers or through Shamanistic rituals or am I bound to suffer and not be able to move in any direction? Will prayer help in such a matter and to whom do I pray....how do I pray, I am looking for an answer some guidance some help I am so desperate and so fined in my should that I don’t know what else to do but cry quite honestly. If any one out there can help me to get back onto my feet, help me somehow to be the man I want to be to provide for my children, create a good creative income, own my own space on this earth on day and help others ...then please, contact me and direct me to someone or something who can help me.

Bless you and thank you,

always best wishes

Ronald

Dear Ronald,

Any psychic or astrology reading can only point out phases and current influences; but you do have self-will, and can steer yourself in a different direction to achieve what you want.

The most important thing to remember is intention and belief. Work on your belief system, reflect on your life and see how you made that movies happen, what script did you write for yourself? And when you understand that our minds, beliefs and thoughts attract situations in order to help us learn and improve, you will begin to create the life you want for yourself.

I strongly suggest that you read

Your perception of reality and how we create will change. If a cycle goes on and on, it is only because we have not really learnt the reason why and the beliefs that feed it and allow it to go on.

You might want to read the Power of Intention too by Wayne Dyer. Please take a look at my Sahar's Spiritual DIY column, there is a lot of information and exercises to help.

I also suggest that you read the following article too, I do not, personally, believe in the old fashioned 'doomed' astrological forecasts: Why Visit an Astrologer?, a fascinating essay on the art of visiting an astrologer. 

And please listen to:

Podcast Interview with US Astrologer Jessica Murray

A common misconception is that modern astrology makes predictions... centuries ago astrologers did, and some schools of astrology still do; most notably in those societies...where the predominating world view follows a more fatalistic bent. It is psychology, however, rather than divination, that underlies most contemporary astrology in the West. In this interview I asked Jessica how astrology today compares to traditional astrology of the past; and about the most common things that come up in an astrological reading. I hope you will enjoy our conversation.

I hope this helps all the best

Love and light,

Sahar
