Madam Husna's answers to some
querents.
Dear Husna,
Am I progressing on the path most harmonious for myself
and the universe?
Forest Enchanted
Dear Forest Enchanted,
You are on a guest, a search for perfect oneness, a search for totality.
You have to realize that 'harmony' is not a physical plan in the outside
world but as inner quality of relaxation and acceptance . Our condition
is such that in our day to day living we have complicated our lives
by adding unnessary complexties. We want to break out of the 'rut' but
hour forgotten how is the simple. We have to loss All to be simple.
We need to learn not to get 'trapped' by the enternal trapping.
To illustrate
my point. I would like to shav a beautiful poem of thing David Thorean
with you
" I went
to the woods because
I wished to live deliberately
to front only the issential facts of life
and see if I could not learn
what it had to teach,
and not, when I came to die,
discover that I had not lived."
You are most
certainly pursuing the right rrack and Nature will show you the way.
We sometimes fail her but she never fails us.

Dear Husna,
I am planning to quit my present job (e-commerce) and start my own business.
Is the time good for a new e-commerce portal?
RM
Dear RM,
The central focus of your life is on this desire to run away. Seven
of Swords says you want to be alone, on your own. The cards, however,
say a venture is not advisable at this moment. Four of Swords says you
need time to work on plans for the future. A business is going to cost
you much by way of mental anguish. ``It’s a long hard road to success’’
and you have to be prepared to accept responsibilities. You can wait
and learn more in your present job. A person in your life who is honest,
straightforward and sets high standards for himself can teach you valuable
lessons. Don’t always think that you are right, enjoy working in
a group, avoid being high-handed and arrogant and gather strength, capital
and learn new skills for use at a later date.

Dear Husna,
I have been going out with my boyfriend for six years, he still does
not know if he really wants to get married to me. I am afraid if I stay
with him, he wouldn't propose. I am turning 30 this year and I feel
this is the time I should do something for myself. I am going to a gym
hoping I’ll find a great guy. Can you please tell me what this
year will bring me? I am at a crossroads right now. I am finishing my
studies this April, so everything is pretty mixed up. Help me please.
Thank you.
KX
Dear KX,
You say you are crossing 30, but my cards tell me you are still a child
at heart, and need to enjoy life in a lighthearted way. You need to
have victory over your will – The Devil card says you have let
yourself be controlled so far and your current relationship is unhealthy
and unproductive. The High Priestess urges you to give priority to the
spiritual over the physical, which could be asking you to nix any idea
of living in with your boyfriend. Learn from the energies of the Queen
of Swords, be honest, straightforward and play by the rules in your
next relationship. You are right in keeping an eye open for a new friend
and companion. The good news is that the cards predict a good source
of income for you sometime real soon should you choose to work in a
creative profession. Right now, make sure your self-interest comes first.

Dear Husna,
After separating from my ex-husband in 1987, after 15 years of difficult
marriage, by the grace of God, I raised my children and now I am free
after my daughter has got married and my son has gone to college. I
am being pulled between the desire to settle with someone whose thinking
is similar to mine, and the wish to just leave everything and wear orange
cloth. What will allow me to fulfill the purpose of this life?
C
Dear C,
You have been through a lot of pain, anger and humiliation, haven’t
you? And the Justice card tells me there have been legal hassles in
your life too. You are now contemplating change, looking for deeper
meanings in life. The cards, however, tell me that the final solution
will take some time to come. You still have a lot of living to do. Don’t,
advises the Hierophant, look towards a group preaching spiritualism.
Sometimes that can stifle your thinking. You can find God on your own,
and time will bring a divine guide to point out the right path to you.
Don’t, however, deny your physical needs. It’s time now to
pamper yourself, lose yourself in the material as well as the spiritual
and sensual worlds. Enjoy life and its gifts. It’s just a matter
of finding the right balance. Give time to your work, but learn now
to focus on your higher self, and on your needs. Who says a companion
and spiritualism cannot go hand in hand? What matters is focusing on
the people you care for, and finding others who could benefit from your
loving care. Eight of Wands says you will get your message very soon
about following the path, but you have to stay grounded. You have to
be there for your children.
Dear Husna,
I want to start a Net enterprise. Preferably customer care. Please advise.
ST.
Dear
ST,
The cards had a lot of conflicting messages for you, and
all that I could glean from my readings was that you
might be indulging in daydreams and planning lots of
things at once, which could be making you lose focus
where your career is concerned. If you bring discipline
into your life, advises the Emperor, be responsible and a
figure of authority, you are going to go places. Five of
Cups says you might be moving out of a dull phase,
recovering from a trauma and perhaps already on the way
to finding a new direction in life. This might also
indicate travel in connection with your new enterprise.
Queen of Cups proclaims that your mental make-up is right
for this venture and yes, you’ll succeed.

Dear
Husna,
My boyfriend dumped me after a one-and-a-half-year old
relationship. Both of us are 24. Everything was OK, we
were in love with each other and often talking of getting
married. But we fought a lot over his parents. They were
never kind to me and always looked at me as if I was
taking their son away from them. Beside this 'big
parents-problem' everything was good. Last month he was
on a ski-vacation with his parents and he called me every
day to say how much he loved me and missed me. After a
week, he stopped. When I called him myself, he said our
relationship was over and he said he had never been happy
with me (and some time ago he said I was the woman of his
life). When I asked him for a reason, he couldn’t
give a satisfactory answer. His father, too, called my
mother to say I had to leave them alone and that I must
not call any more. His father also said that he didn't
know that our relationship was already that serious and
that he would do everything to ruin it. My question is,
shall my ex-boyfriend return to me or shall he stay with
his parents for at least a few more years and then marry
another girl? I miss him. We have already lived together
and now I don't see or hear him. What must I do? Leave
him alone saying to myself that he's not worth it, or
fight for our love? Life can be so cruel.
L
Dear
L,
The cards put the onus on you to make a decision about
your life. While you don’t hear or see your
boyfriend, it doesn’t mean he does not care for you.
It’s just that he’s weak. The card for you was
10 of Cups and to me that can be interpreted as family
– his family plays a major role in this
relationship, they are overly interested in this
boy’s life and this unreasonable, possessive streak
makes them assume you don’t have snob value. Your
boyfriend might be totally under his father’s
control and may not be able to strike out on his own or
take any bold step. Dear L, do you want a man like him in
your life? The Star card says there is hope yet for the
relationship, but in the long run the focal point of this
problem may never be resolved and you might be left
feeling frustrated at your boyfriend’s ``helpless''
attitude. Six of Wands says this battle could end with
you being the victor, but it might come at a price. The
best solution offered by the cards was: Withdraw. He
doesn’t seem worth it.
--------------------
Dear
Husna,
I got married in May ’97. I had to get a divorce due
to some psychological problems my husband had. I am a
computer professional and am located in the US. My
parents and I have seen another boy over here who has
also been divorced before, but the two of us are scared
to get into another relationship and are not sure how
it’s going to work out. Will you please reflect on
the relationship and let me know if I’ll get married
to him?
M
Dear
M,
You and this new man in your life, both lack courage to
step ``into the world of shadows’’, a place
where you’ve been before and experienced nothing but
pain. Ace of Swords says you might have to get ready to
face another challenge or trial soon, and I see that as
your marriage – only by being honest, ethical and
straightforward will you be able to adjust to each other,
and if I were you, I wouldn’t worry myself to death
thinking about it. You have to change, M, this man is
worth it, but he needs your love and care and it has to
be a two-way process. Both of you have to get yourselves
out of this rut of fear you’re stuck in. Your
association has the potential to turn into a happy,
friendly relationship, that will finally teach you that
marriage is a celebration, not a trial. I wish you much
joy.

Dear Husna,
I am a 26-year-old girl in love with a 27-year-old man.
We are considering marriage and our parents met last week
to discuss our marriage propositions. However, the
wavelengths of his and my parents don't match and on top
of it, my mother-in-law seems to take it for granted that
I'll be giving up my job when I have children -- which is
something I don't want to do. My parents are very worried
about how I will get along with my would-be in laws. I
want my parents to go through my wedding with happiness
and not with sadness and worry in their hearts. Also, I
want my boyfriend's mother to know from the very
beginning that though career is not all-important to me,
it is of considerable importance and I do not intend to
give up work at any point of time. But I want to make it
clear to her in a way that does not hurt her feelings.
S
Dear S,
I do not have your photograph or your date of birth, or a
description of what you look like, so my cards may not be
very accurate. However, do loosen up, young lady. Unless
you realise that you can't please everybody, you're going
to become a wreck and that could affect the most
important relationship in your life right now -- the one
between you and
your husband-to-be. You are in a really sad Nine of
Swords situation, worrying about and trying to control a
situation that really at the end of the day shouldn't
concern you too much. You have to know that your parents
still see you as a child who can't control her own life.
Prove them wrong. Also, your parents don't trust your
in-laws. So what? Don't expect both parties to start a
mutual admiration society immediately. The cards tell me
you should bide your time. Don't react harshly to
situations. Don't explode or lose your temper. Just
calmly go ahead with plans for your marriage. Tell your
parents firmly that you intend to go through with it and
the success of your marriage depends solely on you and
your husband. Not on his parents. You can ultimately find
a release from this self-inflicted torture by drawing
upon the energies of the Emperor card. Be stern,
confident and in command of the situation. Go ahead with
your plans for marriage and for work afterwards. Explain
to your mother-in-law why you need to work. Do it gently,
but be firm, because you are the one running your life,
not her. At the same time, however, try to understand her
situation -- don't expect her to be around babysitting
when you have your children. It's her life too and modern
grand-moms may want their own space and time. And
finally, understand, if your parents don't have a smile
on their faces on the day which is supposed to be the
happiest in your life… the problem lies with them.
Not you. If you love your husband to-be, be happy for his
sake, and urge your parents to respect his parents.
Otherwise, your Mr Right would be one hell of an unhappy
man.

Dear Husna,
I have set up my own business. It is almost five years
now. I have my own building but my ` business does not
seem to be taking off. There are unforeseen problems that
crop up every time I seem to be making progress. Why is
it happening and till when will I stumble along?
T
Dear T,
I'm afraid my readings for you might not be accurate
because I neither have a description of yours, nor your
date of birth or a photograph. The cards, however, seem
to give me an inkling of what you might be going through.
Seven of Swords says you probably like doing things on
your own, and fancy yourself as some sort of a lone wolf.
Sometimes you run away from a situation without facing
it, and where business is concerned you don't do your
homework properly. You are caught in a very unhealthy,
unproductive work situation and are likely to have a
bumpy ride unless you stop fearing the unknown, stop
getting infuriated with minor setbacks, work towards
cooperation and strive for excellence in everything you
do. The cards lay a lot of stress on cooperation. You
need to have people to help you out. Probably you are
relying too much on your own self. The cheering news is,
you are soon likely to get a chance to improve your lot.
But you have to be very enthusiastic about it. Your
mindset HAS to change. If you don't respond adequately to
this chance, and get rid of the feeling that life's not
dealing you aces, you are going to remain in this
situation for a long, long time. Your key words are
cooperation, taking the help of others, being aware of
the competition, recognising it, and because of that,
improving your performance and giving your 100 per cent
to your work.
--------------
Dear Husna,
I am absolutely disillusioned by the way my career is
moving. I am just not able to get a good enough break for
a switchover. How long will I be stuck here? What efforts
should I put in to get what I desire? My date of birth is
April 16, 1970. I stand tall-180 cms, weigh 75 kgs, and
am fair.
AD
Dear AD,
I got a number of contradictory readings for you. Blame
it on the lack of a photograph or an accurate description
of yourself, but I'll try my best to translate their
message for you without confusing you or myself. I have a
feeling you are taking life too seriously. I drew the
High Priestess card for you, and she always focuses on peace and serenity. Are
you not being calm? Are you too impatient? Do you really
need that change in your career? Do you need to change
yourself in order to make that change happen in your
place of work? The cards say you need to be tranquil and
relaxed and find an inner stillness which will help you
make the right decision about your career. Eight of
Swords tells me you are feeling trapped, looking for
guidance, a way out, but Knight of Wands adds a note of
warning: Don't be reckless or impatient. And keep a tight
control over that temper. You
have been advised to draw inspiration from the Queen of
Cups: She stands for compassion, energy and kindness. Ask
yourself? Are these qualities missing in you? I can't say
if there are going to be immediate drastic changes in
your life, but try a change in approach, whereby you
lighten that load a little bit, inject some vitality in
your approach to life and work, and try to understand and
be considerate towards others. That, the cards say, might
make you view your work life in a different light.
--------------
Dear Husna,
My parents want me to get married and last month I met
this man. We met twice but I refused to get married to
him. My parents are highly disappointed by my decision.
They feel I won't get a better husband than him. The
problem is that since a few days I have started feeling
the same. I feel I wont get a good husband and negative
feelings creep up. I am 21 years old.
X
Dear X,
What is this? You are 21 years old and are worried about
not finding the right husband? Child, how you make me
laugh. Relax and learn to enjoy your youth. Always be
natural and never ever suffer from this complex that
there's something lacking in you. You need to have
maturity to marry. You are too young now, my Queen cards
tell me. There is a period
of learning and creativity before you. You will succeed
in many creative enterprises, you will mature into a
confident, delightful woman who will settle down and find
much happiness in marriage. Seek out knowledge. Study
some more and then work. Have the satisfaction of getting
your first pay cheque. Learn to spend and use your own
money. A
husband will happen later. Convince your parents that you
need to find a place in the sun, not under the shadow of
some man right now. And don't let them browbeat you into
making wrong choices or making you feel that your worth
can only be judged by the husband you manage to catch!
And there is only one place for negative feelings. In the
dustbin.
All the best.

Dear Husna,
I immigrated to Australia a year ago with my family,
since then mine and my husbands health has not been good
and my husband does not have a good job. I am unable to
work because of my health too. What do you see in my
future ? Will our health improve and will we hold good
jobs?
C
Dear Christine,
Don't lose hope. A chapter is ending, and you might feel
a sense of loss, but the cards strongly advice that you
be kind to your physical and emotional self. There's
still a bit of an uphill struggle left, but that calls
upon you to pause, reflect, focus on your inner strengths
and resources to prepare for the time ahead. Is your
husband pushing too hard at work? I drew out the Four or
Swords for you, which advises that you give time to your
body to heal through rest and relaxation. At the same
time, Page of Wands makes a cheerful appearance and
advises you to spread some light
in the gloom. Be confident, he shouts, be creative, be
courageous. Do you and your husband have some talents
that you may not be exploiting? Which can help you gain
financial independence without having to go through a
nine to five grind? Focus on your hidden potential right
now, when you are wrapped up in your own world, absorbed
in your problems. Also, at the same time, don't forget
the world around you. Try to walk back into it and start
living with it. Be aware of that world, and learn to
enjoy its sounds and lights. What makes me really happy
for you is the Ten of Cups. It speaks of a ``great
blessing'' upon your family. Things will definitely
improve, and your bonding together as a family, of
finding harmony as a unit will be the key to that
happiness. There will be security, peace and laughter.
You will have to focus on your spiritual and creative
energies and hang in there with gritted teeth. Victory
will be yours. And quite soon.
Husna

Dear
Husna,
I was ditched by a girl three years ago. Since then I
feel so insecure and I need someone close to me, to love
me. But I
can't figure out what to do. I love music... soft
music... I am so SENTIMENTAL. What shall I do?
Shom
Dear
Shom,
Get moving. My cards tell me you're in a state of
lethargy, clinging on to memories and indulging in
foolish fantasies. I call these the low-level blues and
know it can make you feel as if your life's going
nowhere. Snap out of it. The cards suggest ``you open
yourself to your surroundings''. Appreciate the finer
things of life. Are there any children around you? You
have been advised to spend time with children and learn
from them how one can derive pleasure from something as
simple as drawing with wax crayons, having an ice cream
or reading a comic book. Learn to be happy with yourself,
let that music be your companion, learn something
creative, join a class. Meet people. Let there be order
in your life and discipline. Love will take some time,
but it will happen...
--------------
Dear Husna,
I am an employee of a well known organisation (name
withheld as per querent's wishes) in Vienna and would
like a transer to London. Could your cards tell when I
will get a job as I have already been trying for the
change since 1994. Please help me in this matter.
A
Dear A,
You have not given me a clear picture of your work
situation, but my readings tell me there is a feeling of
loss or loss associated with your current employment.
Five of Cups tells me that you are much discouraged with
your work environment. However, you need to ``clean up
your act'' before you move on. Is life disorganised? Are
you feeling burdened by numerous responsibilities? This
trend might continue for some time, but the cheering news
is, change is inevitable. It will happen. ``When will I
get the job?'' you ask me. The answer is: The time for a
move is RIGHT NOW. The delay in getting the break has
probably occurred because you may have tried an old,
tired and subtle approach towards your new employers..
The cards say you have to make `` a creative and bold
move'' to get their attention. ``Something that will
knock them off''. Give yourself free rein and you'll get
good results immediately.
