In the Netflix one-season hit series "Baby Reindeer" Donny's real-life girlfriend Teri notes that he seems to be enjoying the phenomenon of stalker Martha Scott. Teri, a therapist, may be onto something.  As a Tarot reader too often I encounter both parties being sucked in, deeper and deeper, into a force field of illusion. Reality could be too mundane. Usually it's not enough fun. Overall, their everyday existence is, well, disappointing.  Typical is this pattern: creating a momentum in a relationship that has no basis. Or shouldn't have.  An example is that the connection is experienced as the platform for a deep long-term permanent exclusive commitment. Then somehow a bit or even a large chunk of real life intervenes. There is then a tragedy of heartache. That could apply to both. There had been a shared-craziness bubble. It is possible but difficult, of course, to explan the dynamics of this to the devasated former lover or lovers. The New York Times   docume

 In the Tarot the Empress card symbolizes what goes into that archetype Mother. The everything ranges from nurturing to the ability to pick up intuitively what's wrong. Without hands-on mothering, even the most primitive kind, no human being would survive. And here we are celebrating in 2024 such a lifeline to being able to make it: Mother's Day. But,what about celebrating the opposite end of that continuum. That is, those who stayed alive (and thrived which we will come to) despite not having The Empress in their early lives. Those are The Unmothered. They had to become their own mother force field.  According to recent research, there is much to celebrate. Psychology Today explains the benefits of such a difficult childhood. They include: Accurate ability to size up situations, quickly identifying threats and risk. Ability to navigate uncertainty. Not getting stuck, at least for long.  Incidentally, these traits make for an effective employee. There is that old joke that emp

  " Codependency is a dysfunctional relationship dynamic where one person assumes the role of 'the giver,' sacrificing their own needs and well-being for the sake of the other, 'the taker.'” - Psychology Today Yes, as a Tarot reader I know there are many healthy relationships among partners.  But also I too often pick up the extreme pain of connections which erase one of the parties' sense of self, worth and even desire to live. The fancy term for that is "codependency." Typically it has roots in a difficult childhood. The setting embedded chaotic patterns of thinking about yourself and behaving. The codependent keeps replicating them.  Like alcohol and food disorders codependency can be a downright addiction. Those are the most tragic calls I receive. A human being can't let go of a relationship that has become all-consuming - and self-defeating. They "swear off" and then go back. The good news is this: There is a solution. Professional

Founder of The Elite Psychics Cassandra Vanzant introduced herself to you last week.  Your response nudged me to invite Cassandra to be a regular columnist. Here she talks about the power of voice communications.  ************************************************************** Exclusive by Cassandra Vanzant, founder of The Elite Psychics  Some readers may not recall that there was a common form of communication called talking face-to-face with someone. Then the telephone arrived, which largely helped with more connections with the people we spoke with. The round dialer on the telephone was replaced with buttons, (making it faster to call). If that speed wasn’t working then we paged the party, (meaning this is urgent!).  The internet introduced emailing, (instead of the traditional “snail mail”), again the “faster” aspect of communicating. Pagers fell by the wayside and cell phones were the preferred way of being in constant contact instantly, (unless there was no signal). But, alas,

  " ...  nobody has risen to replace the late Christopher Hitchens on the lecture circuit, on cable news, in books and in the pages of our best publications. If he were resurrected today, who would hire him? And if they did, how long would it take for the staff to petition the bosses to fire him?" - From Jack Shafer's  Politico  article "The Collapse of the News Industry Takes Its Soul Down With It," May 6, 2024 It was a different time when Christopher Hitchens not only threw journalistic grenades but was respected and trusted. Without fear he positioned and packaged Mother Teresa as a menace and told us to forget that god was on our side since there was no god.  Today, those contentions, even if well documented, probably wouldn't reach the final stage of being actually published. The reasons include: Fear of lawsuits.  The nuclear verdict for the plaintiff in "Hulk Hogan v Gawker" has a long half life. Also there are plenty, like Peter Thiel, who
