Wolf dreams and love after death

All in a dream

I was running along in a large open field and there was a big wolf in front of me. I wasn't very afraid as he wasn't too menacing, but I stopped and backed up anyway. There was a girl from work hunching down nearby and I hunched down next to her. The wolf then came over and I stood up and started waving my arms over my head and made loud noises to scare it away. Then some other people from work came over and we all stood up and started walking along in a tight group, towards the wolf. We knew he couldn't hurt us if we were all in a pack. We walked right by him, unharmed. What could this mean?

Hello Jenna,

My first thought is that someone in your work environment, probably someone in authority, is abusing his power (the wolf is male, so I assume it's a guy). In the dream, the wolf is somewhat of a threat, but you feel confident that a synchronized effort will allow you to stand up to him. What's happening at your work? Is there a policy or person that is threatening you and your coworkers? Do you and your coworkers need to initiate a change together?

Another way to look at the dream is that the wolf is part of you. It's the male (animus) side of your psyche that is the source of your power. It's the ambitious, assertive, go-getter part of you. Perhaps you feel you need to keep these traits in check. Are you holding these qualities at bay for fear of standing out from the others at work? Do you have a dream that you need to go after? Meditate on the wolf to see what he has to say. Then get past the fear and make him your ally.

Sweet dreams,
Cortney

Is it love?

My husband passed away five months ago and a male friend of mine has been there for me ever since. I feel as if our relationship is taking a turn to a more serious level. We have been physically together and I know I have feelings for him. I just need to know if this is just something to help me get through this time in my life or if God put him here at this time for a more permanent reason. It is scary to start having feelings for someone so soon after becoming a widow. My birthday is 6/23/1970 and his is 11/01/1965.

Hello Sharon,

It's interesting that you connected with a Scorpio, because it's the sign of sex, death and transformation - all the issues you're currently dealing with. You and your guy have many compatible elements that suggest this could be a long-term relationship. For starters, you have Sun in Cancer, so you're both water signs. This means you're both feeling-oriented and intuitive. Emotionally, you have Moon in either unconventional Aquarius or sensitive Pisces, depending on your time of birth. Your guy has Moon in Aquarius, so emotionally you may share similar emotional needs for friendship and unusual activities that spark the intellect. As for Venus, the planet of love, you have Venus in Leo and he has Venus in Sagittarius, both fire signs. In a relationship, your love styles are enthusiastic, passionate and adventurous, which is excellent for romantic compatibility. Actually, he has Mars, the planet of passion, in Sagittarius as well, so he has an optimistic, lighthearted side and probably makes you laugh, not a bad thing at all! He may have trouble settling down, however. How this affects your relationship in the future will need to be discussed at some point because your Sun and Mars in Cancer needs emotional security. In the meantime, enjoy!

Best of luck to you both,
Cortney
