I am on a journey of 'spiritual growth' but my husband of 45 years does not share my views, let alone discuss it with me ... he says some hurtful things which are not pleasant and I am finding it very hard to let go of the hurt, let alone forgive. How would I address this situation?
Dear client number 5,
Thank you for your email.

You are obviously aware of the fact that to change your husband now, after all these years would be futile and that is fine, as long as he doesn't interfere with YOUR karma, it will work out fine. The most important point here is how YOU handle the situation, keeping in mind that we cannot enforce our spiritual beliefs onto others.
I don't know if he is your soul mate (that concept is very often misunderstood, because soul mates are not always necessarily good for each other on the earth plane, but may be very necessary for us on a soul level growth) but there is one Universal Law that is important - we all have our own journey and must take responsibility for the results of our actions, spiritually as well as physically. You have already taken that step intuitively and you have done your soul justice. You do not have to feel guilty for that. Your husband has no control over your soul, no-one has. We do not have the right to interfere with the karma of others; they must handle that on their own.
You have three planets in the house of communication and three other planets in the sign of Gemini, showing that urge to merge and network with other human beings. It would be a sin to not allow your networking skills to be developed. You have a natural talent for interacting with people, having a caring approach and always willing to lend a hand to those in need. You have explored spirituality in great depth, and you have had to face the dark side to see the light. I am sure that you have discovered the light, and you already know that your spiritual happiness is not negotiable. Your husband is lucky to have someone as dedicated as you are, and he should accept your spiritual dharma unconditionally.
You have Neptune placed at 29 degrees of Virgo and are thus coming to a completion cycle with regard to spirituality. Neptune also conjuncts your part of fortune, which bestows spiritual gifts upon you. You also have Sagittarius on your ascendant, ruled by Jupiter, the old ruler of Pisces, the spiritual sign. You also have your North Node in the ninth house of higher learning, philosophy and spiritual truth. Do I need to say more? No, you already know that spirituality is a part of you, you understand the spiritual laws well and you have the potential to help others.
We are about to enter an extremely exciting spiritual era, and there are many souls like yours out there right now, souls who are dedicated to raising the vibration of our planet. The exciting part of all this is that there are now many light workers out there, however, sadly only the bad news sells on television and the media. The good news never seems to hit the headlines. Perhaps we'll conquer that one some day. Sadly, many focus on the physical pleasures and security, and end up doing injustice to their soul needs, wondering why they can't find that inner peace. We cannot lie to our soul and we can also not be held accountable for other people's journeys. This is one of the toughest spiritual lessons to learn - DETACHMENT.
You currently have transiting Saturn crossing over your ninth house of international travel, higher truth, higher education or spiritual development. It makes sense that you are now questioning your belief system, higher philosophical ideas and spiritual truth.
This push-pull effect will wear off over the next year or so, and then you will be tested to face your truth. A situation may arise where you are forced to face any unresolved issues, starting around the 18th.December 2007. This energy will last about two years, throwing some big challenges your way in terms of what you are meant to do.
Whilst Saturn transits your tenth house, the Universe just throws in another whammy, just in case you get comfortable. At about the same time you have transiting Pluto going into your first house, bringing about a complete transformation of your personality, and subsequently, your outlook in life. It may be very subtle, but it certainly is very powerful. Something has to symbolically die for that issue to be resolved, ultimately for your benefit. Pluto does not take prisoners, Pluto sorts out the problem, whether we like it or not. It is ultimately for our highest good, even if we don't acknowledge it at the time. You also have Jupiter about to enter your first house, which makes the Pluto transit perhaps a little easier to bear. Jupiter bestows good blessings on you as a person, showing good health and prosperity for about a year. I know that you will experience revelations that will strengthen you.
I wish you well; stand in your own truth.
With gratitude,
Harry
