The first individual has the Sun and Venus in her twelfth house. She was
for three years, her life suddenly changed. She met someone at work and
instantly fell in love. The connection between her and this co-worker was
very strong and undeniable. The feelings were mutual between them, but
they both were married with children. She described to me how devastating
it was for her to feel that way about someone else other than her husband.
She felt intense guilt and shame for the love she had in her heart. That love
was ignited and it seemed that nothing could ever shake it. This individual

There was a female client that I met recently, who has the Sun and Venus in
suffering with her husband for seven years. She was in an emotionally
abusive marriage and did not realize that she was unhappy and lonely. One
day she reconnected with an old childhood friend from her past who she had
loved deeply. There was a long history between them and a deep bond that
was always there no matter how much time passed. They started out
writing to each other on email and the next thing she knew, her heart was
ignited, opened up and energized for the first time in six years. Feeling
intense love for this man again, she realized that love was always there
locked deep within her heart. She felt alive for the first time in ages.

life forever. She was walking into the fire with a bomb strapped on her back.

his life. She knew that he loved her deeply, but she knew it was not fair to

desperately seeking love. She just did not realize she would find it with him
all over again. The day she saw him changed her life forever. She decided to
stop the communication with him, because it was too painful for her.
Eventually she separated from her husband, even though she knew she was
in love with someone she could never have. To this day she still loves him in
secret and keeps those loving feelings in her heart hidden from everyone
she knows.
