ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I am a Taurus. Will my Virgo romantic partner ever return and free me from my restrictive circumstances? If so, when and how?"
Virgos adore Taureans. However, this person does not want the problems your complicated family situation presents. You must free yourself before you can expect the total commitment that you need and desire. Don’t be discouraged, you have everything you need to do this. As a Taurus, you’ll do best taking little steps. Star asserting yourself in small ways every day – by making decisions and sticking to them, by standing up for yourself, by taking time alone to do what you want and letting nobody interfere. Use this time to formulate a plan comprised of small steps. That might include finding a way to make extra money, perhaps secretly, so you can save enough to make a break for the freedom you deserve.
"Tell me five great strengths of a Sagittarius to raise my very low confidence."
I will, but a Sagittarius like you doesn’t really need to be complimented as much as you need to take action. You are happiest when you are moving, so get going! Here you go: You are courageous, a charismatic people magnet and fascinated by the exotic; you have vast energy sources and are the luckiest sign of the zodiac. I hope that does it for you.
