TO EVERYONE---PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR INITIALS WHEN ASKING QUESTIONS!!!~~~

This is Ms .Q,

I am once again getting people asking me questions but they are posting to me as Anonymous.

This causes problems for me.  Serious problems.

Because I can have 10 or more people post as Anonymous under the same heading and it could be nearly the same question.

THAT IS WHY IT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO AT LEAST PUT THE INITIALS OF YOUR FIRST AND LAST NAME.

I am not asking for your full name only initials so I can credit the right answer to the right person.

IF THIS KEEPS UP I WILL STOP ANSWERING QUESTIONS!!!

As you can see this is getting me very frustrated, so here it is----IF YOU POST AS ANONYMOUS I WILL NOT---REPEAT NOT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.  

Don't even bother to beg!   

Put your Initals at the beginning of your question like for example "Dear Ms. Q,  this is FC....." then continue with your question.

If I don't see intials I won't reply to your question.   I'm old, I'm tired, and I have medical problems, so PLEASE make life a little easier on me.

Thank You,

Bright Blessings,
Ms. Q

  1. Morning Ms. Q

    This is AG. I wrote to you a while back. Things have changed in my life. I desperately wanted my husband back. I sought out help for this matter. Then, I realized the more I was trying to get him back, the more distant we became. I took that as a sign to finally let go.

    Since then, he's been living his life with the other woman. Sadly, he seems to have forgotten about me and our son. Needless to say, I've been happy since I've parted my ways to get him back.

    My problem is, an old friend came back into my life. This man has been nothing less than motivational. He truly helps put peace into my life. Now feelings are involved and honestly, I'm hesitant. He knows my situation but he claims he wants to fight for my son and I. We're taking things slow but I wonder... was he sent for a reason?

    I was told by a few physics that a man from my past would return and he was the "one" for me. I just never looked his way. I'm wondering if us conversing again is a good idea.

    I think we genuinely care for one another. I don't want to push him away because of my hesitancy. May I ask you for your advice?

    Thank you
    AG

    1. Dear AG,

      I think it’s a shame that your ex-husband has lost desire to see his son, it wouldn’t hurt to occasionally remind him especially now during the holidays.

      With that said now with this friend back in your life, if he is that motivated to help you that is a good thing, I think it wouldn’t hurt to converse with this man, go out for coffee, talk, take in a movie, get to really know him, that will be important, I’m not saying to avoid extreme intimacy, but really get to know him, his likes and dislikes, his personality.

      Over a period of time you will know if he is good for you.

      I drew a card from Tarot to do a one card reading for you and I drew the Six of Pentacles (Success)

      This card means a time of prosperity and profit. Success and generosity in material things. Power and influence turned to noble pursuits. Philanthropy, and the balancing of physical and spiritual life. May suggest gifts or aid to one in need.

      The 6 of Pentacles is often a sign of a turn for the better, particularly with regard to money. It's one of the more positive Pentacles cards. It speaks of equality, fairness, and the cyclical nature of life. When this card appears, you are likely to be heading into a positive cycle.

      In matters of Love, the 6 of Pentacles points to a happy, generous, fair and balanced relationship for at least a while. Allow this person to give to you (whether that's in the material or spiritual realm,) and at the same time, make sure that you are doing your fair share of giving to the relationship, but do over do, it needs to be balanced, when this card shows up, you are likely to meet someone new who is positive, kind, and generous.

      The 6 of Pentacles is often a card about generosity, meaning that you are either about to be the beneficiary or the giver of something with value. Share what you have as there is always someone who needs it. This generosity does not have to be fiscal, of course; a listening ear, spiritual support, etc. is often far more important than anything money can buy. Don't be too proud to accept what is offered, if you are the intended recipient.

      Make it a point to learn from others about their spiritual understandings. In short, undertake dialogues, in whatever way you can; don't keep it all to yourself. Your life will deepen immeasurably if you reach out.

      This seems to confirm what the other psychic readers predicted, but don’t fall head long into it, always keep a wise head on your shoulders, especially in matters of the heart. Take the time to really know him, and I think you may be pleased but remember don’t wear blinders to any faults he may have as well. But it’s possible he might be the one, just keep a wise head on your shoulders.

      Bright Blessings,
      Ms. Q

    2. Thank you so much for your advice Ms. Q. Our chemistry is beyond anything I've had. We agreed to take it slow and rebuild our friendship. The feelings are mutual between us. He really came and guided me through this dramatic change. I thank him for that. He's trying to help me get a secured job to benefit my son and I. I'm truly thankful for him Ms. Q.

      My husband and I spoke about our son but his main interest is moving with the other woman and starting his life. We agreed on how the breaks would be established. It hurts my heart but the I've fought all I could've. I feel like a failure but I understand life must go on.

      Again thank you for helping me from then to now.

      Much love

    3. Dear AG

      I am glad to have been of some help to you, I’m glad you and your friend are taking it slow and that he is helping you in many ways.

      It is sad that your ex-husband is more interested in moving with the other woman and starting his new life, irregardless of the pain it will cause his child. In the end he will discover, perhaps too late how much he will have missed out in his child’s life. It will be his loss, and never to be re-captured.

      The one thing you must always remember is this, You are NOT a failure, not to the marriage, not to your son, and not to yourself, the person who is really the failure is your ex-husband, it was never you. You did all you could but your ex-husband behaved in a selfish manner. He is the failure, not you.

      The Divine Presence is giving you a wonderful chance to continue building your life, bringing to you a man who is worthy of you, you’ll have a wonderful life with your child and it will be successful.

      The Six of Pentacles is saying that to you. Enjoy your new life with joy, not tears.

      Bright Blessings and Much Love,
      Ms. Q

  2. Thank you! Lately, things have taken a downward spiral. My son's father is trying to gain clarity with me all of a sudden. The old me would have been more open to it but I told him there's no need anymore. I felt great doing so. My peace means more to me now than before. He's trying to tell me about his problems but why? I think guilt is bothering him. The special friend and I had a discussion. I fear that I'll drive him away. To my surprise, he told me that he's not going anywhere. It really shocked me because I was too demanding. I'll admit it but I apologize and he told me he understands. There's a love that I have for him that I can't explain or understand. I don't want to lose him again.

    Thanks AG

    1. Dear AG,

      First calm down.

      2nd, feelings that are so deep that they cannot be put into words are very special feelings, especially about your special friend, yet you are afraid of losing him because you can be demanding.

      Well that is sort of easy to correct in a way, but it will be hard for you because you’re fighting for everything and for your son, you have to learn to “turn off the demanding button” when you’re with your special friend, you’re trying to control everything and you can’t do that, sometimes its best to let go, take a giant step back and simply say to your special friend that it is hard to control your nature because you’ve been fighting for so long, now I’m sure he understands that, so instead of speaking to him in demands ask him as suggestions, for example “Do you think it would be better for me to (insert whatever it is here)?” instead of saying “I think we need to do this I know we should do this” the first statement is a question or suggestion and it’s softer, the 2nd statement is hard edge and demanding.

      It’s hard but it can be done.

      Now about your son’s father yes it is guilt that is bothering him and he’s trying to explain away his guilt by trying to clarify what he’s doing with his problems, but he needs to know that sometimes his problems are not yours or your son’s problems but he does need to own up to his responsibilities and work things out with you, to be a responsible co-parent. He may not see it that way, but don’t let him put his problems on you, tell him it is his problem and he needs to deal with it. Tell him to stop being so hard-nosed about things and to just take care of things, he cannot control the river, he has to sometimes let it flow.

      Focus on working on your relationship with your special friend and learn to turn off the demand button and just relax.

      Bright Blessings,

  3. Thanks so much Ms. Q. The problems between my son's father and I continue to increase. Especially, now that he's moved in with her. I don't know anymore. I'm trying to gain peace but I allow his negativity to blind me.

    Besides him, my special friend is gaining my heart and it scares me. He wants to be there for my son as well. I'm not sure about any of this. I guess I'm truly scared of the unknown.

    1. Dear AG,

      I can understand your feelings of negativity from your son’s father especially since he’s moved in with another woman, that is to be expected, BUT you have to remember to not feed into that negativity, it can adversely affect your decision making.

      2nd this special friend in your life is what you need, but you are afraid of giving up some control over your life, if you don’t relax and allow your friend to help out you could lose him, so why are you pushing away a relationship that can be beneficial to you and your son?

      You have been fighting so long and trying to be in control for so long that when something wonderful comes along you don’t know how to handle it, RELAX! And work with him as a team, as a partnership, something which you obviously never had with the boy’s father.

      You’ve been independent so long that this is hard for you, I drew a card on you and it is the Queen of Wands

      This is the essence of fire behaving as water, such as a rainbow. A radiantly vital person, cocky and charismatic, who sees what she wants and goes after it. Career-oriented · Hard worker · Honest · Independent and home-loving · Thoughtful this is an outgoing and friendly personality, indicating you are extroverted but self-contained but with an independent streak

      You have made wise decisions especially to allow this special friend into your life and this ability to think soundly will help you in the future. This friend will give you helpful advice, show gratitude and return the favor.

      By following the advice of your friend, you will achieve success. Your home life will be fulfilling and without intense conflicts. You and your loved ones will be content with your environment.

      The Queen of Wands is a lively, passionate, and independent woman. She suggests a person who is career-oriented and successful. Honest, thoughtful, and confident, the presence of this card shows someone seeking positive self-development, the card instills confidence within you and gives you the power and self-assurance that you can achieve anything that you set your mind to.

      The Queen of Wands asks you to be bold and courageous in your undertakings and actions, so do not be afraid to allow this special friend to help you out and be in your life, this friend will help neutralize any negativity that your son’s father tries to project upon you and your son.

      Do not be afraid to step into the Unknown, if you don’t then you will forever be frozen in the past and could lose everything.

      The caterpillar must become the butterfly, it’s a chance the caterpillar must take, and so should you.

      To guard against the negativity from your son’s father I suggest that you wear a St. Michael’s medal and whenever you encounter negativity from him or from any source recite the St. Michael’s prayer, you will find it by looking up St. Michael in my Archives.

      Relax and have a Blessed and wonderful Christmas and look forward to the New Year.

      Bright Blessings,

  4. Ms.Q... I cannot thank you enough. Every time. This friend of mine is truly wonderful. My son, is getting attached to speaking with him on the phone. To my surprise told me "It's mommy and (his name) now. I told him no that's just mommy's friend. He brightens up our life with his kindness and generosity.

    I will try to remain position and move forward with my life.

    Thank you so much!

    2. Hello Ms. Q, it's AR again...
      I'm not sure what happened but my special friend just decided to drop me out of his life. He says it's hard for him to explain. I don't know what to feel. I'm hurt. I'm lost.

      Delete
    3. Dear AR,

      First stop and breathe, I think what is happening is he is having fear of how fast it's happened.

      That is natural for a man to react that way, he doesn't understand it so he can't explain it.

      Give me a little time and I'll be back with a reading on this.

      But try not to feel lost, yes the floor has gone out from under you, but think of what he has done for you before.

      I will be back with a reading.

      Hang in there.

      Bright Blessings,
      Ms. Q

    4. Dear AR,

      The best way that I can describe your friend’s situation is he is having a sort of panic attack perhaps he felt things were going way too fast for him and was questioning himself if he could really handle the responsibility but I kept feeling that there was something else he had to do and to keep you away from what it is.

      To be sure about this I drew a card from Tarot and it is the 5 of Wands (Strife) but upside down. When this card is reversed it means Pointless struggles in the vain pursuit of recognition, financial reward, or base desires. Something in his life is causing disunity, chaos, and petty quarreling at a time of crisis.

      It’s some sort of stressful situation that brings out the worst in people and his worse is to “disappear”.

      What is causing this I feel is not you but something else entirely. This card can suggest that he has a tendency to avoid conflict wherever possible. It makes him feel quite uneasy and he was wishing it would just go away like some people ignore a tooth ache to the point where you cannot ignore it.

      So he deflected a lot of that energy and just ignored the problem, if there is one.

      The trouble, however, is that in doing this, he may just be pushing some of his own concerns to the side, without really dealing with them or being assertive about them.

      This card seems to indicate he came to a realization that he needed focus on taking care of what he needed to take care of. So he disappears to focus his attention on some key priorities and stay committed to that but the sad fact is he’s doing this without considering even more possibilities or opportunities such as you and your boy.

      This is a true case of “It’s not you it’s him” and he needs to keep you away from what it is that is distressing him.

      So I asked my Spirit Guides what should AR do? And they guided my hand over the Tarot cards and I drew The Sun, which means a time of contentment and freedom from restraints. Creative inspiration. Achievement, success, and warmth. Light and love in personal or business matters. Happiness and faithfulness in a relationship.

      So all though you are feeling distressed about this Spirit is saying that this is going to be a time of positive development for you, and you should not be upset over it, put a smile on your face.

      The Sun card is saying a ‘yes’ to life! It brings with it luck, wellness, positive consciousness, enthusiasm, attainment and success.

      It is about embracing your destiny and giving it everything you have got.

      This card is saying You know that the rain clouds will soon give way to the rays of the sun and you will feel warmed to the soul once again.

      This is a time when you will feel enlightened. You can finally see the path ahead of you and through the hardship you have endured,

      This card is a card full of life, joy, and energy. It reveals positive achievements, successful endeavors, and an overall manifestations of good fortune in your life.

      And it means that something else, something wonderful and powerful will be coming into your life.

      The path has been cleared, so do not despair because of what has happened, something new and better is coming.

      If you Ever watched the T.V. Show “the Good Wife” at the end of the final season’s finale Alicia Florrick wipes the tears from her face, stands up straight, straightens her jacket and walks into the future with determination.

      You are in that same position AR and you will succeed.

      So wipe those tears, smile and walk into a bright future.

      Bright Blessings,

    5. Morning Ms. Q

      Thank you for the readings! It truly amazed me. Everything that was described was my special friend to a T. He hates conflict and for a while, he would say he has to take a step back from me. He felt like he would burden me with his troubles. I let him know that I'm here to help him as well. He was the type of man who puts family first. He has goals to ensure his family would be secured. He recently lost his mentor. His mentor was helping him move forward with his life with a great job opportunity. Since then, he started to wonder about moving forward in his life. I have a job opportunity in another state. He made the decision to move with my son and I if I leave. Even though he tried, he said he couldn't walk away from me. I became an important factor in his life when he wasn't looking for it to happen.

      I do believe his heart means well. There's nothing negative I can say or feel towards him. He truly inspired me. In the midst of it all, I expressed myself. I should've been more understanding. I just felt like he was throwing away everything without a care. Once I calmed down, I realized that even though he had goals; once I came into the vision, it caused him to create a new one. I understand that it put him in a different state of mind. I truly hope he returns.

      The crazy thing is, we finally saw one another after all these years last Sunday. We spent the night together (My son, him and I). To my surprise, we spoke throughout the whole night. He was a gentleman. We had intimacy but without relations. That was different for us both but just talking and being next to one another felt great. On Monday, it felt like it would be forever. My son, especially wanted to be around him more so that made me even more attached.

      He doesn't return my calls or texts anymore. He blocked me from social media. I sent him a final message yesterday. It was just thanking him for everything he did. I do hope we meet again.

      I've never been so happy with life now. I'm still going through troubles but since he came in the picture, he made everything seem possible with his optimistic personality. I do have a lot of opportunities that suddenly fell onto my lap. Hopefully, I'll make the best decision for my son and I.

      Thank you again. Is there anything I can do to show my appreciation? You truly are a blessing Ms. Q

    6. Hi AR,

      This is Ms. Q’s niece, as you know she’s going to be having dental surgery next week, so she’s sort of out of it because she has to take antibiotics to decrease the infection.

      I read to her your comment she says she is very pleased that you are so very optimistic and now have all these opportunities for your future, she is very happy for you.

      In terms of appreciation, Ms. Q has always said “Pay it forward”, if you can help out at a charity for women so that their lives are improved, she says that is the best way. She helps others so they can help others, so if you can, when you can she says that is Thanks enough. And always remember after the rain there is the Sun.

      In her words “Bright Blessings to you”
      From Ms. Q

      Delete
    7. Thank you for replying back. I hope all went well with your surgery!

      I will definitely send a contribution to the women's shelter out here this weekend.

      I don't know if he's still going through a lot but he recently fussed at me. It was shocking. For a while he wouldn't reach out to me. The only way we spoke was if I reached out to him.

      I think I should leave him be. He seems really stressed. He said I bring him peace and he wished I lived closer but that last episode, was shocking for me. I still want him in my life but he started making remarks as if he doesn't want me in his anymore.

      Should I walk away from him? I really don't want to but I don't know how I should approach this.

      Thanks AR

      Delete
    8. Dear AR,

      Obviously something has happened to him for him to act this way, I’m not saying you should walk away from him but for now let him reach out to you, not you to him and when he does then you can gauge how he is doing, if he asks why you are not contact him just say that you thought it wiser to give him some space as he did seem himself and whatever it is its best to let him work it out or solve it.

      I did a one card reading on your friend and I drew the Page of Pentacles, but reversed.

      This is the dark essence of earth, such as a chasm. It’s Unfavorable news the person this card represents is leaving practical matters unattended. He is dealing with irrationality and failure to recognize obvious facts, coupled with a lack of focus, and loss. He may suffered a loss of a job or promotion. Whatever it is, he and only he can solve it, you cannot, you have more important things to deal with. So let him reach out to you on his own time and as I’ve said if he asks why you’ve not contacted him just say you were giving him space.

      You’re not walking away, you’re just letting him be to work out his problems.

      Bright Blessings,
      Ms. Q

    9. I am disappointed in myself. I've left him alone for a while. I reached out to him and he did respond. It was brief because since then he's deliberately ignored me. I know I should've gave him his space. I've sent him a message letting him know how I'm feeling. I think I'll change my number now. It's really hard for me to leave him alone. I just wanted to make sure he's okay. I know he's going through a hard time.

      Maybe, it's best for me to walk away from the situation. I've prayed for him, hoping he'll get whatever it is he desires so he'll be at peace.

      My mother loves burning candles. She asked if I wanted to burn some for him/us. Do you think it's a good idea? She was thinking about road openers for him. And for us, any love candles. I feel bad because I don't want to feel like I'm forcing emotions on him if they're not genuinely his.

      Thank you Ms. Q

      Sincerely, AR

      Delete
    10. Dear AR,

      You and your Mom should burn Road opener candles for him as well as Road Opener candles for yourself, so that new opportunities will come to you along with the love candles to bring love to you, now this should be left open in terms of whose love you want to bring in.

      I can also recommend blue or white peace candles or healing candles to heal you emotionally, you’ve done all you’ve can, now it’s up to him to heal himself. He knows you are there, but now it’s his choice to make.

      The type of Love candles are called Chuparrosa or Hummingbird candles and should be anointed with Chuparrosa oil. Just ask the spirit of love to bring love to you as well as healing.

      One of Granny’s ladies Mrs. Hernandez told me about the Hummingbird spirit, so keep your heart open to love.

      Don’t feel bad that you think you may be deserting him, you are not, you are simply letting the situation be and leaving all the choices up to him, you cannot do anything more expect pray. But do not pray for him to come to you, pray so that he can solve his problems and his mind and eyes are clear.

      Because he came to you for a reason, no matter how brief it was, but he came when you needed someone like him, bless that and let it go, if he wants to come back he will. So yes, letting him go, leaving him alone is good, do not change your phone number, leave the opportunity available if he wants to come back, but do not call him, no matter how much you are tempted, you need to move on in your life.

      In the meantime leave your opportunities open for new love and support to come to you, that is why I suggest the road opener candles also for you.

      I also want you have a certain amount of peace in your home, and I’ve seen in the major grocery stores Lavender candles, sometimes mixed with another scent, burn those so the energy of peace will come about in your home as well.

      I drew a card from Tarot for you and it is Strength, it means you have the Health and physical fortitude to face things. Victory after apprehension and fear. The ability to face and overcome difficulties brings out the inner qualities of strength and forbearance in you. Any and all delays and setbacks will be overcome, you having the strength to move or go forward.

      Cease your weeping over what might have been, open your heart to new possibilities, you are much stronger than you think, you just need to gather your strength and look forward to the future, there are many new and wonderful things out there, don’t turn back to what “might have been” , you can do it.

      Bright Blessings,

    11. Hello Ms. Q

      I'm taking it day by day. I haven't been tempted to get in touch with him. He's still on my mind but I've been focused on moving forward.

      The candle for him burned clear. Mines were black. My mom feels something is blocking my blessings. We've lit another road opener. Maybe I need a bath.

      I wanted someone who's a professional to help me with the cleansing but from past precedents, I'm not too trusting of others.

      What do you suggest?
      Thanks AR

    12. Hello AR,

      I just took a break while my young niece and nephews are taking a nap, family visiting for a few days.

      Your candle was black, Hmmmm, I think you did a good thing doing another Road Opener.

      I would start with a simple cleansing but using the Egg to collect the negativity.

      If you look in my Archive for Egg Cleansing Spell or Egg spell (it will take you to the same post) Do that first as it is the simplest.

      If the Road Opener still burns black then consider the 13 herb bath, you will find information on that as well in the Archive.

      But start with the Egg cleansing spell first, sometimes something as simple as that will take care of it. Your Mom can help you with that.

      Let me know how the 2nd candle burns.

      Bright Blessings,

  5. Hey Ms. Q! It's been a while since I've reached out to you. Hope all is well.

    An update from before: my old friend and I haven't contacted one another at all. So I guess that moment we shared was just that. He comes across my mind still.

    A couple of months ago, I started talking to another old friend. Now he's becoming distant as well. My mother brought it to my attention that it seems like a replay. I don't know if it's me or the timing is wrong for me to engage with anyone.

    Plenty has happened over the months. Overall, I do feel stuck but I have been making progress in my life.

    My son's father rarely contacts him but I try my best to do what's right for him.

    Overall life is life. I guess sharing it with others isn't the right timing.

    Thank you AR

    1. Hello AR,

      I’m slowly getting better from my broken ankle and am recovering from the Heat Wave we’ve been experiencing, it’s getting so that I love the Fog.

      Your mother is right it is a replay and it will be repeated perhaps several more times, and it is not really you, part of it is that most men do not want to be involved with someone who has a child from a previous relationship and those that walk away are Not worthy of your companionship, so both the timing and the men were not right for you.

      My feeling about that was confirmed when I drew the 9 of swords reversed, which is cruelty, it’s like that line from Shakespeare’s Hamlet “To smile and smile and still be a villain…” They smiled but they were untrue to you and your son, best thing for you is that they are out of your life.

      But I wanted to see what would be the best direction for you, I kept feeling that it was work related, so I drew another card from Tarot and it was the Three of Pentacles (Works) this relates to the commencement of business, commercial transactions, or employment. The constructive use of creative talents, and the expression of artistry in workmanship. Skill and labor turned to the crafting of things of value. Using the conventional as a medium for expressing the exceptional, in order to build something of great renown and glory.

      O.K that does sound rather High-flying but if you have a good job that you enjoy working at then do your creative best at it, because now is the time really to focus on work, family and your son, but it also means perhaps a creative side job like crafting jewelry, or designing or making clothing, if not by your creative efforts then working on the side selling things like that---and I do not mean Tupperware or Avon---but something that will get you out more into the world.

      Let me give you my personal example: I had a regular full time job but on every other weekend that I was free I would be doing Ren Fairs during the Summer months sharing a booth with another Tarot reader, by doing it every other weekend (we’d alternate) it freed some of our weekends and yet we’d have the fun of making extra money. But I never gave up my Full Time job and during the Month of October I’d get bookings for Halloween Parties as a card reader. Of course now I’m completely retired from that but I met interesting people and a number of eligible men.

      So the 3 of Pentacles is saying that now is the time to focus on work or works, and that everything else will eventually fall into place.

      And at the right time, at the right place the right man will come along, don’t look for him, he will come to you, that’s what happened when I met my Hubby after dating a lot of Frogs.

      About your son’s father, he is what he is, all you can do is make your son happy, well-rounded, well-educated and a go-getting responsible person. Be Blessed for you are Blessed.

      Bright Blessings,
      Ms. Q
