he's got <strong>to</strong> s<strong>to</strong>p treating you like some voluptuous Aphrodite <strong>and</strong> recognize that<br />

you're a woman with a mission. All he has <strong>to</strong> do is support (or even join) you in<br />

waging the war you're so determined <strong>to</strong> win <strong>and</strong> he'll soon discover there's plenty of<br />

heat behind your cool facade!<br />

The fact is that you're feeling pretty excited by the pressures you currently face. They<br />

are stretching your mind, helping you learn new skills, allowing you <strong>to</strong> plan great<br />

enterprises <strong>and</strong> creating chances <strong>to</strong> give plenty of people their orders!<br />

There are moments when everything seems <strong>to</strong> be on <strong>to</strong>p of you - but each time you<br />

conquer another difficulty, you feel on <strong>to</strong>p of the world.<br />

Romantic problems are only likely <strong>to</strong> emerge in the next few months if your partner<br />

fails, somehow, <strong>to</strong> show sufficient faith in you - or worse, undermines your own<br />

faith. If, in this way, he triggers your secret fear of failure - or if you allow the fact<br />

that you currently have no partner <strong>to</strong> do the same, you may end up playing out the<br />

Persephone syndrome.<br />

This typically involves meeting a man who is deeply, desperately unsuitable yet<br />

finding yourself falling head over heels in fascination with him - because he 'seems <strong>to</strong><br />

know something that you don't'. For a while, he becomes able <strong>to</strong> manipulate you as<br />

nimbly as a suave playboy might hypnotize a teenage girl. You eventually outgrow<br />

the obsession, but not before it has done some serious damage <strong>to</strong> your pride <strong>and</strong><br />

wasted time you could have spent far more profitably.<br />

If however, you watch for that - <strong>and</strong> make sure you keep your eye on the battle you'll<br />

not only emerge from your current worldly struggle with a sense of triumph, you'll<br />

also emerge from it with the kind of love life you really want!<br />

Demeter<br />

Demeter<br />

Introduction:<br />

Introduction:<br />

Demeter, known <strong>to</strong> the Romans as Ceres, the goddess of the grain, will always be<br />

known as the goddess of motherhood. This is partly because both are symbols of<br />

fecundity - but also because of the myth of Persephone, Demeter's daughter, which<br />

must also be read in order <strong>to</strong> truly underst<strong>and</strong> the 'protective spirit' that this goddess<br />

represents.<br />

Demeter, like Hestia <strong>and</strong> Hera, was a daughter of Cronos. She <strong>to</strong>o married Zeus. This<br />

though, was several thous<strong>and</strong> years before her sister did the same. The Greek gods<br />

may sound like a strange, incestuous lot but, when you live for all eternity,<br />

presumably, you play the game of existence by somewhat different rules. Certainly
