Lusting After Her Boss

I hope you can help me. I’ll get straight to the point. I suffer from the most unbearable lust for someone that I’m not particularly fond of: my boss. It’s ridiculous, I know. I dreamed of him twice. The first time, he smiled at me and said, “43.” In the second dream, I saw his face and his eyes were looking at me: They were so black and shiny. The situation obviously bothers me because I’m married to the most wonderful man on the planet, but seeing my boss on a daily basis just confuses me so! I love my job and do not want to leave or jeopardize it, yet I see him and it’s like my body is on drugs! I know we met in a past life because it couldn’t be so strong otherwise.

Hello Lynda,

A past-life connection indeed! It seems you need to resolve some karma with your boss, but you don’t have to have sex with him to do it. I often combine dream interpretation and astrology, so out of curiosity I looked at your chart. Here’s the scoop: You’re experiencing a potentially life-changing influence. Two of them, in fact. Pluto, the planet of transformation, obsession, secretiveness, power, and lust (sound familiar?) is directly opposing your Sun-Venus conjunction in Cancer. This is a test of how you handle your personal power. And of your emotional mastery. Will you let your desire for your boss overwhelm your good judgment? Or will you strive to analyze these feelings to discover the source so you can resolve the karma?

Because sex and power are often closely linked, I suspect that your boss is triggering an issue about personal power already inside you. Do you feel powerless? Are you too controlling or distrusting? How do you express your passion (other than in the bedroom)? These are Pluto questions.

As for your dream, the black eyes are both threatening and enticing (very much like Pluto!). Such astrological influences often send us into therapy or on a spiritual quest so we can release unneeded things, attitudes, and people. The whole point is to live more authentically. It’s time to go inward to illuminate and make peace with the dark spaces within you.

Sweet dreams,
Cortney
