| Kanaka's Oshun necklace for love |
What area of life do you find
yourself needing the most help with these days? For a lot of people,
relationships are a constant problem because they involve others who can never
be controlled. No matter how much you love someone, you can’t make that person
do what you want them to, how you want them to, or when you want them to.
Gypsy
Stars suggests for those of you experiencing frustration in your love life to
try understanding what it’s like for the object of your affection. Even though
it’s perfectly human to want to enjoy love the way you want to with that
person, you must remember that everyone has his or her own way of loving you
back. You can also ask for Oshun's assistance, but that's another blog.

| leaving eggplants for Oya at Santa Monica cemetery |
One irritant that I have
personally rubbed up against more than once in my life involves legal issues.
Whether you’re dealing with a lawsuit, lawyers or judges, it’s not easy for a
layperson to navigate the increasingly complicated and elitist legal system.
The Astrological signs most associated with law are Libra and Sagittarius. The 7th House rules 'open enemies' (as opposed to the 8th House
of 'secret enemies'), while the 9th House rules higher education and law. Jupiter, ruler of Sag, is the planet of justice. If you have a
preponderance of planets in Libra or Sag, be prepared to have to confront
someone in a courtroom at some point in your life.

But know, too, that there are
ways to protect yourself against lawsuits and help you prevail in them. One of
the most effective is the Yoruba deity Oya. The warrior goddess of lightning
and sudden storms, wind and fire, Oya is also the administrator of justice. Her
number is 9, interestingly the same as the House that Sag rules.
Take 9 eggplants to the
cemetery where Oya lives. Wear purple and silver. Light a purple candle, or light 9
of them. Give yourself over to the mama of righteousness who won’t see her
children trample on by lowlife liars and thieves. Oya has her own special way
of dealing with those without principles who cross your path and steal from you.
Probably one of the most misunderstood deities, Oya’s fierceness is not without
good cause. A believer in fairness, she will not sit by idly and watch the
innocent suffer.
