I moved from Chicago to Las Vegas about a year ago with my now-ex-girlfriend. It has been a very difficult year: My car was repossessed, my girlfriend cheated on me and then broke up with me, and my father passed away. I've been struggling financially for the majority of this year and it's been challenging to find a decent job. Right now, I'm in a sales job that's not related to my field of study and although I'm doing well, my heart is pulling me to go back to Chicago.
I'm confused about the ultimate path of my career. I am thinking about a financial services career and getting into real estate. I was a very good products designer in Chicago. I have many goals that I wish to accomplish but they are unlikely to happen with my current job.
I had met with a psychic woman who told me not to give up on Las Vegas just yet. She said that there is an opportunity here if I'm just patient. I would have left months ago but am still here because of that advice.
On another note, there's a younger woman where I work whom I find very attractive. She recently ended a rocky relationship. I know she is still getting over him, so I haven't made any attempt to ask her out on a date or anything. Because of my regard for her, I feel I want to stay here in Vegas to pursue her when the time is right. I'm not sure she would even be interested in me because it's hard to read her. Do you see me in a relationship with this woman or is there someone else in store for me? If she is someone else, when and where will I meet her? I am contemplating returning to Chicago at the end of April. Do you think this is the right move for me?
VEGAS TANGO
Dear Vegas,
I see that you can be a success no matter where you live. If you want to move back to Chicago, that's OK, but I don't think you'll need to relocate to find yourself and your potential. It's important that you let go of the sorrow and the worry that you carry around with you because people can sense an internal struggle in another and may tend to avoid you.
The reason you're in Las Vegas is to meet the woman you'll spend the rest of your life with. Your career begins to take off when this woman becomes a part of your life. I know you can be patient when you need to be, and it's simply your job to be friendly with your co-worker for now. Adopt that attitude with every woman, whether you find her physically attractive or not. I want you to learn to see the best in the person, not the outside packaging.
For your mental and physical support, it's important for you to spend the next month getting a full seven hours of restful sleep each night. Also, adopt an ongoing exercise program of some sort because you need to shake up your vital energy again. Gambling, sex and booze don't exist in your life for the next month, even though it's all around you. This is not out of guilt, or any thought of "evil" or "bad"; this is about you reclaiming your power. Consider this your "Las Vegas Boot Camp"—and that you're a soldier of your own fortune. You'll know when your strength is back because "suddenly" women will be attracted to you. This I know to be true, once you have love in your life again, it won't matter where you live.
Try this: In your mind, go forward to November and then write about the sequence of events between March and November. This is the story of you, the hero, and the events that lead toward your love and success. Write about the best possible things that will happen in those eight months. Insert this "story" in an envelope, seal it, and place it on your refrigerator with a magnet.
You are very powerful; it's time you believe it.
Cheatin' Heart
I have been married for three years and my wife told me that she slept with a guy after we moved here from Texas. She left me right before Christmas and though we've been talking about getting back together, I'm not sure if I can trust her but I think we should be together for the kids' sake. Did she really cheat on me? What do you see for my love life?
LONELY STAR STATE
Dear LSS,
The cards say that if you both move away together, you can make it work again. If you stay here, I don't see the relationship lasting. Trust is exactly what you have to recoup; without that you have nothing.
