Lauren,

Apology more than accepted, and let us now move forward with your love/relationship reading as requested.

To err is to be human?

It appears that you do not have too many particularly happy memories of your previous relationship almost a year ago, as if you believe in your unconscious mind where it really counts that it is setting a negative pattern of heartache and disappointment which will continue with you well into the future, then this could be I feel a big part of your problem with regards to finding another man who will love you for being the wonderful person you already are, rather than wanting to change you into someone else who is more "acceptable".

If this is so then I can well understand your reasons for feeling a little cynical, and for wondering what thing you did or did not do in the past that has made you now deserve such disrespect from your partner(s). Your own feelings of self worth are currently fairly low, and the problem with this is that unless we can somehow dislodge this negative concept of yourself you have unintentionally built up and repeatedly reinforced over the last few years, then you will probably tend to attract the type of men who will agree with your own poor assessment of yourself, over and over.

In other words when our own feelings of self confidence and self esteem are at a low point, then we often continue to attract a partner who wants us to believe that we do not deserve any better from life. It is therefore in such a person's best interests in holding onto you to make you think that nobody else would ever want you, so you should feel humble that at least one person takes pity on you. Of course logically this is absolute nonsense and you do deserve to be valued and respected as a person, but who ever said that human relationships and the things that we come to accept are always logical?

When I asked my own inner guidance as to whether or not you will likely have another relationship within a period of the next six months or so, the phrase that keeps repeating itself over and over in my mind is "possibly, but hopefully not more of the same". I do get a distinct feeling with you that although there will be opportunities for having another relationship over the coming months (if you are willing to go out and create them for yourself), that anything you can possibly do to lift your spirits and increase your self confidence in the meantime would certainly not go astray, and could potentially make you more attractive to a very different sort of partner from the ones you have had up until now.

There is just one warning with these insights that is best described by the Tarot card called rather confusingly THE DEVIL. This does not have anything to do with the Christian Satan. It also does not have anything to do with evil or physical death. More I feel it is a friendly warning that while it is not a sin to enjoy Earthly and material pleasures and to have a good time doing so, that the pursuit of material pleasures to the total exclusion of everything else of much greater importance in our lives as a whole, is a recipe for disaster. Material pleasures and money are not the root of all evil. It is only putting all our faith in them above all other things and making them the guiding centre of our existence which is the road to our own personal hell (and not the hell of fire and brimstone in the Bible).

Will you be likely to have another relationship (or at least begin one) within the next six months?

Your reading gives you approximately a 50% chance of this happening, but you could do quite a lot yourself to increase your chances even further by not continuing to isolate yourself from prospective partners, and by working on your self confidence by whatever means you have available to you at the time.

If you do begin such a relationship within the next six months, will it be significantly happier than the last?

Effectively this is largely up to you in working to heal yourself and in changing your internal concepts about yourself and how lovable you feel (always easier said than done). If you can use these insights in a positive and practical manner, then having an enjoyable relationship during this period becomes much more likely as well.

Are you somehow destined to make the same mistakes repeatedly in choosing your partners well into the future, or even worse are you meant to spend the rest of your life alone without a man who loves you?

CATEGORICALLY NO AND NO, TO BOTH QUESTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love, Light and Healing,
