Dear Ms. Joyce,
I've recently met a wonderful Capricorn boy that I've known for sometime. Every time I meet him he's coming out of a relationship
and this time was no different, however, he was prepared to date me and appeared to be smitten with me (he did say that he was
over his ex). I went on a date that was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING for us both and spent the night with him and then the next day he said "I've
just come to the conclusion that I'm still in love with my ex. Once again the wrong timing," he said. The thing is I think we're soul
mates and I don't know what to do HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!
James
Dear James,
You are a very bright boy, except when it comes to relationships. When it comes to love you are an idealist and
you don't see others clearly. You mistake a connection for a soul mate. I do not doubt for one minute that you
had an amazing time and that you felt very connected to this person, but that is not enough. It's what happens
in the beginning of a relationship. You are a very intense person and when you care your neediness comes out and
you can scare others away. What you need to do is start loving yourself more and don't depend on others to make you
happy. When you don't "need" a relationship, you'll have one.

Dear Ms. Joyce,
It seems that I have had a lot of bad luck lately. My father has left my mother and the family and my parents don't have
enough money for my education. I can't find the love. My attitude has been very bad and my friends are annoyed with me.
I feel as if people don't like me. Can you help me understand what is going on?
Miquel
Dear Miquel,
I know that you love your mother and your family very much, however, because things have changed with your
parents you are probably more upset than you are acknowledging to yourself. You are also angry, and this anger
comes from your childhood. Your parents are very different and it was hard for you to integrate both their
personalities. The sign of Aquarius rules the 5th house of the father, and my guess is he was not a sensitive man.
I'm sure your mother is a hard worker and she was not appreciated the way you wanted her to be. You are angry but
didn't feel you could express that anger. Now that your father is gone, you feel abandoned. How can this not affect
your work at school? Because your anger is coming out in your attitude, others may misread it and feel that you are
angry at them. You are so upset inside it is difficult to get close to you right now. Express your anger in positive
ways. Do sports, or take a martial arts class, or just scream in the shower, but find a way to express it. Be proud
of yourself and know that you can do whatever you put your mind to.
—Linda Joyce
Dear Joyce,
I am at a point in my life where I seem to have lost much of what I have worked so hard to achieve and not because
I wanted to. Over the last 5 years I was forced to give up a job I loved as a mental health professional in order
to retain my integrity. In so doing I lost all my friends and they betrayed me. To make matters worse I married
a man much younger than myself from abroad, a student in a similar profession. I supported him through his Graduate
studies and saved him from his very emotionally unstable parents and then I had a miscarriage.
I am very close to God and I am trying hard to trust again and start over, but how? My husband seems to have an agenda
of his own and although he claims to love me he is in the constant search for other women "friends" whom he says he needs
in his life. I feel isolated from the world and have no one that I trust to confide in. I am extremely intuitive yet have
a difficult time trusting self. I have given so much to assist others yet have always been left to myself in times of need.
I am deeply grateful for any insight that can be provided.
Thank You and GOD BLESS
Lisa
Dear Lisa,
You are a very good person and that's the problem. You want to do everything right while the world around you does everything
wrong. You are innocent and innocence is only good for children. It's time to rise up and begin to fight for yourself. Stop
doing for others who don't deserve it. You are idealistic and you don't see the bad in people. You need a voice and you need
the strength to tell others off when it's necessary. You are a strong woman with great charisma. Don't stay around and take
care of a man who isn't giving you the respect you deserve. Don't be afraid to be alone, you are more than alone with him, you
are being emotionally abused. So begin with learning how to say no.
Good
luck.

Dear
Ms. Joyce,
I
have had a problem for years, when I get on my feet I seem
to get knocked down again. I try to trust people and give
them a chance, but every time I do it seems those are the
people knocking me down again. My mother passed away when
I was born and it seems that since then I have had a bad
luck omen. I tried to reunite with my family, but when I
did, all they seemed to do was hate me. I am a spiritual
woman and every time I look at the stars I get a feeling
something bad is about to happen. Can my luck get any worse?
What can I do to break this curse or bad luck omen?
Thank
you,
Asking
For Help
Dear Asking for Help,
Your
problem is your concept of spirituality and ticker tape
you have going in your mind (“Something bad is going
to happen). Many people mistakenly believe that a spiritual
life is one without an ego or the ability to take care of
oneself. Your chart shows a big heart, a loving person,
and one that can easily be a victim if she doesn’t
have faith in herself. You need to know how to discriminate
– that is not trust anyone until they prove themselves
worthy of your trust whether they are family or someone
you don’t know. You have to be tough for you and you
have to begin to give yourself a new message Try “things
are improving, my luck is changing. I’m getting stronger”.
You
have very strong abandonment issues. Anyone who has had
a parent die when they were young is afraid of separation,
and your mother died when you were born, in some way you
feel responsible for her death – you are not. Your
mother had her own karma and you must learn to believe in
yourself. Because you fear being abandoned you give up your
power to please others and then they see you as weak and
take advantage of you. The only way to never be abandoned
is never abandon yourself. Take responsibility for where
you are, start setting boundaries, and see the negative
in others, not just the positive – you need to do this
for self-protection. The world is a dangerous place when
you don’t have faith in yourself and an ego. If you
know what to expect, there are no surprises. And do look
at The Star Within. The reason I wrote the book was to give
everyone a guide as to how to have voice in life and become
successful.
Good
luck.

Dear
Ask The Universe,
I
moved this summer from West Palm Beach, FL to Boston, MA.
I have had a great deal of difficulty finding an appropriate
place to market my services as an alternative healthcare
provider. Recently I have gotten more opportunities and
now find myself at a crossroads where I actually need to
start making decisions. I still have some loose ends and
possibly a few business opportunities in FL, but my girlfriend
and various new job possibilities are in Boston. My
question is: Would it be better for me to return to
FL for the winter and work the season down there, or would
it be best to continue with my professional and personal
development in Boston this winter?
Dear Ward,
I looked at your astrocartography which show an energy line
of the planets and how they run through the different parts
of the world. There are no planets close to either of those
cities (states) so the choice is up to you. However, if
you read your own letter you would know that you want to
stay in Boston, but feel insecure. You’ve been having
Pluto making a trine to your Pluto which rules your fourth
house of the home, and there is a deep desire to transform
your life. Because you are being pulled toward the new,
the desire is to hold on to the past out of fear. Move into
your new place and commit to it. You can’t become a
powerful magnetic field that will attract business and success
without making a full commitment.
San Francisco or Sacramento would be a great place for your
spiritual work. Neptune the planet of spirit runs close
to those cities. However, wherever you feel good, whatever
you commit to and believe in, will work for you and bring
you success. So go for it.
Sincerely,
Linda Joyce
Dear
Ms. Joyce
I
have moved from my hometown. Moving has been a major goal
in my life for many years, however when the opportunity
came I moved to Illinois. I choose Ill. because I had became
involved with a man there that I had fallen in love with
and could not see myself any farther away from him. He is
a cancer born 7/1/56 and he and I are not together. He is
now involved with someone else, but tells me he is still
attracted to me and it's more than physical. The last time
I was him he tried to make love to me, but I didn't because
he is involved with someone else now. He says he did not
know how I felt about him, he thought we were friends, and
he got involved with this person since I moved there. He
says he's in love with Charlotte, but he still wants me.
I am thinking of moving back to my home town very soon,
please help, because I don't really know what to do. Do
you foresee any promising outlooks for Carson and I?
Sincerely,
Roberta
Dear Roberta,
You moved for the wrong reason – you moved for someone
else. You were planning this move for a long time, and it
was difficult for you. You have 28 degrees of Taurus rising
and that is always a difficult degree, it wants to hold
on to what it knows rather than take a risk in the unknown.
Because you were afraid you leave home on your own, it was
easier to follow a man that was not committed to you. It’s
not about this man; it’s about you taking control of
your life. Do you like where you are without him? Give yourself
time to set new roots. I would not trust or believe this
man. He was willing to cheat on his girlfriend which means
he would cheat on you. Start opening yourself up to a new
relationship. You didn’t mention if you worked or not.
Get involved in your community – take some classes,
join a club, do something that helps you connect to others.
Chances are you are a loner, so you don’t have a way
to feel connected to others. If you want to make friends,
then put it as a priority, and you will. The answer is not
going home; it’s building a new life.
Sincerely,
—Linda

Dear
Ms. Joyce,
(May
12, 1959\ Ann Arbor, MI\ 12:40am)
I have always dreamed about having a family and a career.
Due to infertility issues, I have not been able to have
children. I still have a great desire to have children,
even at my age. My husband is opposed, saying that he is
too old (47) and my career too demanding. Should I pursue
my dream of having my family and career, or am I beating
a dead horse?
Sincerely,
Elizabeth
Dear
Elizabeth,
The ability to have children is often hampered by emotional
or psychological issues that are subtle, but real. With
your ascendant at the last degrees of Capricorn (28 degrees),
you are asked to face your fears in this life, in order
to be strong. With your Sun in Taurus you do not have a
strong and secure sense of self, especially with Pisces
ruling your second house of values – you are not sure
what your values are or what you should fight for. The Taurus
rebel in you was somehow wiped out in your childhood. In
a past life your parents where innocent and naïve;
they did not protect you from the manipulation and deception
of others when you set off to pursue your dream of performing
( I think it was as a dancer). You were taken advantage
of and hurt. Their inability to teach you how to cope with
the world made you feel that you were missing something.
I’m here to tell you, you are missing nothing but a
voice – your ability to stand up for what is important
to you. Through your chart, I see that your husband is a
man filled with fear and insecurity. He does not know how
to express his feelings and support you, because he is having
trouble coping himself. He will not give you permission
to do anything that requires effort. You need to be strong
in your desires and beliefs and take a stand for what you
want. I believe that the reason you have not had children
is because you have felt that you would not be able to protect
them. You feel your voice is not strong enough to help them
forge ahead in the world. Whether you decide to have children
or not, getting your voice is an essential step to happiness.
The steps are all laid out in my new
book The Star Within. It will be released some time
this September. I would advise you to study the chapters
that lead up to Taurus as well as the chapter on Taurus.
You need to be able to say what you feel, not worry about
disappointing others, protecting their feelings or their
illusions. You need to be able to be you, express your thoughts
and desires and not worry about what others think or feel.
This will not make you insensitive, on the contrary, it
will give you greater compassion for others because it will
come from your heart and not fear. When this happens you
will remove the psychological barriers that are preventing
you from having children. Then it’s up to you and God.

Dear
Ms. Joyce
(May 24, 1957\ New York City\ 6:30pm)
When will I get a “real” job, the one that I will
feel passionate about?
Sincerely,
Looking for Passion.
Dear “Looking for Passion,”
You are a Gemini, and Saturn has been in your sun sign since
August of 2000 -- challenging you to look at your choices
and why you’ve made them in your life. How much faith
did you have? How much did you seek security? If you are
afraid to take a risk, if you are afraid of change, then
it will be difficult to hear your inner voice and connect
to your passion. Gemini’s are idealistic and so choice
is difficult because they don’t want to let go of the
illusion of the dream in order to create it. That means
to make it real, you might have to take the menial job,
work for little or nothing and learn your trade; it doesn’t
mean you have to give up on the dream just because it doesn’t
arrive easy or neatly packaged. It’s important to be
able to separate from what others expect of you, choose
one path, and follow it into the unknown. When you can do
those three things you are ready to discover your passion.
Saturn moves out of Gemini this June, if you’re ready,
the universe is ready. This could be what you’ve been
waiting for.

Dear
Ms. Joyce
(January 26, 1964\12 noon\ Geneva, Switz.
I have traveled the world and I love my freedom, but suddenly
I want roots and a family too. Why does it feel that I have
to choose between one or the other? Shouldn’t I be
able to have it all?
Yours
Truly,
Help!
Dear “Help”
You are an Aquarius with Venus in Pisces and Neptune in
your seventh house of relationships. Yes, freedom is important,
but you see freedom as the need to isolate yourself from
commitment and intimacy. My guess is that you have trouble
not living up to the expectations of others when it comes
to love (not business) - you want to be seen as perfect
- and you want others to be perfect too. It’s images
that are getting in your way, not freedom. When you can
be you and compromise what is nonessential (because you
know the difference) then you are ready for a relationship
that won’t make you feel in prison.
