Dear Cristina,

Hello, my name is Alex. I live in Chicago IL. I married a woman who I thought was my soul mate. Yep I married her twice and we're still married now but separated... I survived but I lost everything. I'm a hard worker -- writer, drummer, and arranger. I worked a 9 to 5. My soon to be ex-wife put me out more than once and destroyed my truck and had caused me bodily harm. I could have pressed charges, struck back. But I will never hit a woman, and I got away from her. My situation needs to change .....is there any change for me? I'm at place where I have peace of mind. I just need to be able to have balance between my passion for music and practical means of income to get back on my path. Thank you in advance.

Blessings to you, Alex.

Out of all this you have a lot of positive things coming out. The first -- having peace of mind -- is key to getting your life back on track. It's obvious in your reading that you and Stacy share past lives. Your karmic connection is strong, which is why you married each other twice. There is love between you but also resentment. She always felt you should give up your passion and get a career that would bring more income into the home and although she always believed in you she felt she had to carry many things alone. Your souls are working these out in this lifetime to bring you both to a higher soul level and evolve. Even though you are separated I feel it's not over between you. She keeps hoping somehow that you will make a better living or be more responsible.

The rage between you is rather normal being that you are both very angry at each other. She is angry at you, actually enraged that you cannot change. And you shouldn't have to change, she has to accept you and love you as you are and she finds that difficult and frustrating to do. Yet there are times she feels she can't live without you, that without the romance you provide she feels empty and no one else can fill that spot the way you do. You are angry at her because she doesn't get it -- that you are following your soul's purpose. It is best at this time that you are separated since violence has started to come up in the relationship and you both need to cool off and come to terms with what is and to accept it.

As far as work goes I see work for you, but once again it will be hard to make a living with music alone. Too bad we are still in a material world where money is a requirement to live but it is what it is. I do see a good balance with your passion and income. You are far from lazy and always find a way to make some money, whether it involves music or not. You are resourceful. You'll be okay. As far as you and your wife, it's not quite over yet. You still are working on accepting each other. You may not remarry again but you will find peace with each other.
