ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I noticed that at times you write in your column that one planet squares another planet. What exactly does this means? Is it unlucky?"
Not necessarily, although it represents a more challenging path than some of the other notable aspects. Astrologers say two planets are "squaring each other" when they are at 90-degree angle in the zodiacal wheel. Squares are symbols of growth, strain, success and long-standing conflict. Although "squares" create stress, they are the catalyst for change.
"Do you have any advice for a new great-grandmother? I am a Capricorn."
Capricorn natives thrive in their later years of life because they are able to let go of responsibilities they have carried from their earliest years. They are emotionally attached to their mate’s relatives, especially as they grow older. Despite this, a bit of eccentricity makes the Capricorn prefer living alone in old age. They hardly ever feel lonely. Good luck!
