What do
women want?
Report from the 900
line.
By z Budapest
This age old question had
been written about by men ad nauseum, always ending
up with some handwringing, and pulling off hair
from chest, and gnashing of teeth, and a helpless
cry at the end: "I dunno".
Well I do.
I have had a 900 number
(737-4637) in operation as a one woman service for
three years now, and hundreds of women and some
brave men have consulted with me. They call
sometimes at the crack of dawn, because their
feelings blot out their consideration for the time
differences. I am in California. They call from
every state, New York, Nebraska, Florida, Oregon,
Alaska, you name it, even from Australia sometimes.
"Blessed be, this is Z!" I
start and then there is an short pause, because
most women who call me have never called a 900
number before. This is good. I don't want the
masses. I want to consult with the thinking woman,
the one who is not using me as a drug, but as an
equal, as a sister, as a priestess. Another reason
women don't call 900 numbers often is a fear of the
expense. My readings costs on the average 40-45
dollars and they are worth it. I end readings when
I have said what I had to say, and anything beyond
that is up to the caller. I discourage women from
calling back before the last reading had time to
unfold. A reading takes time; some people live
faster then others.
"What can I do for you?" I
ask.
The women begin talking
about their feelings while I mix the cards after
anointing my hands with Bergamont oil.
"How old are you?"
This is an all important
question. Women at different stages in their lives
have different destinies to fulfill. Some years are
dangerous. Such is 29, the first Saturn Cycle. This
can be a suicidal year; many people when depressed
ckeck out from this life at destiny's turns. 27 can
be dangerous, but mostly just restless.
30 is a great ambiguity,
and by 31 things are clearer, and the woman is
starting up her second destiny. Needless to say
most callers I have are in this turn of the
destinies' time. 35 is also interesting, because
the second destiny starts offering up missions to
the woman; where, oh where. shall she put her
energies, where, oh where, is her place for her big
contributions?
So the first answer to the
question, what do women want, is they want to
discover and be true to their destinies. Why have I
come here? What is it I am supposed to
do?
In order to have a destiny
one has to be free. Freedom is the basic condition
of human destiny, freedom to grow, to choose, to
fulfill.
Many women don't think
about it in lofty terms, usually it comes out as "I
don't know what's wrong with me, I am not happy
with my job
it's a good job...but something is
missing."
When "something is missing"
that is the soul's way to tell us that destiny is
waiting at the door and one has to open the door to
let it in.
How? you ask.
Opening the door to destiny
is accepting a change. The change will move the
energy. Change can be small or large. The Native
Americans often do a "giveaway" when they pack up a
lot of their possessions and give it away. This is
a wonderful way to do charity plus move the energy.
We too can go through our possessions, especially
women, and if we have not worn or used something
for three years, it's not ours anymore. Give it
away.
In China where Fung Shwei
is practiced they know that the energy that moves
through your dwelling place or business will
influence your health, wealth and progress in life.
There are "unlucky houses," where people are sick
all the time, unlucky spaces for money, or
creativity. Everything hangs together with
everything else. When you correct the flow of
energy in one place it will affect the rest.
Sometimes placing a round mirror in your bedroom
will increase peace, happiness there. Such a
trifle, yet so powerful, because energy is energy,
and we are all made of the same star stuff. Well
you know. Big changes are moving, traveling,
changing jobs. Getting married or divorced.
"What sign are you?"
That's my next question,
because certain signs are more attuned to spiritual
messages, and it will influence my readings. If
it's a Pieces person, a little goes a long way,
she'll hear me beyond the words. If its a Scorpio
woman I better spell it out real clear and run for
cover because she may hear it but could pretend she
didn't, or even deny its validity, just to be
contrary. Aquarians are easy to talk to being one
myself, so are Libras and Geminis. Virgo ladies
need logic interjected, Taurus ladies need down to
earth yes or no answers. Leo/Sagittarius/Aries
women love to have this kind of focus upon
themselves rarely afforded to women in real life.
And this goes for most women who call -- just to
have a woman totally listening and consulting the
spirits on their behalf is a treat.
What do women
want?
Women want attention, which
is a form of love. Attention we don't get even if
we are professionals, because in boardrooms still,
after all these years, men pretend not to hear
women when she is talking, men pretend women are
less worthy of attention then the average Joe. We
may get a payckeck also that is less than a man's,
we may get a title, responsibilities, but when the
respect is handed out, men still prefer each other,
and this is why I always said heterosexuality is a
myth. If men really loved women, we would get paid
twice as much as a men. Not less. I mean it.
What do women want? Women
want respect. Respect that is earned, fair and
square, not given to us as a present, or as a"
token", or as a way to get into our pants. Respect
that is real, honest to goodness respect that's is
ours to keep, put on the mantel, display in the
office. Show it off to friends.
Women are human identified
versus men are male identified. Women want men to
identify with the species more deeply. If men did
identify with the human race and not just their own
tribal men only, we would have no war. Women want
peace. Men want to engage their energies/power play
with other men. Men enjoy a good conflict, they
often define their worth still as if they were back
in the stone ages. This leads to war on a large
scale. Men love power over, and also love to play
good guy/bad guy. Some males are always good,
because they kill the bad ones, but in the process
a lot of babies and women get killed also for
nothing. Peace is the condition for wealth and
health and civilization. Women are good at peace.
Women's destiny is to create civilizations.
Men think peace is boring.
This is why we have guy movies and chick movies.
Guy movies have no plots, only scenes, where the
lead man gets to be angry, swears its personal,
grinding his teeth, uses lots of guns and
demolishes the other guy who pissed him off. There
is a chase in it around the end, where men sit at
the edge of their seats, and women cover their eyes
because they are disguising a yawn.
Chick movies have no guns
but a lot of relationships.
There is a story, the
center of which is the heart. There is a change of
heart of the lead character, a curve. There are
scenes where resolution brings forth the tears.
Women weep and enjoy, men look away thinking about
the sports score they have missed.
Hollywood tries not to make
chick movies even when they bring in money. Why?
Hollywood is run by men. Men are governed by their
love for themselves and not there to create
entertainment for women.
They claim the opposite,
saying women come and will see guy movies on dates.
But men won't go and see chick flicks on dates.
This is the reason they say females talent has so
little to do in Hollywood. Why has there been no
spin off from Thelma and Louise? It made money! It
won an Oscar.
And now it gets thorny.
Women want love. There are real heterosexual women
who are stuck with the men who love guyness more. .
.
On my 900 line, love rules.
"Uhhh, I have been seeing a
man. . .we really got along well.. .but now he went
overseas and I havent heard a long time. .
.
"I like this man, he is not
married but lives with a woman, they have a kid
together.. . he said he doesn't love her. . .what
to do.. ."
"Will there be a lover in
my life..soon? I really miss intimacy.. .
"
"I have been with this man
for many years and now he said he is moving out,
breaking up with me.. . will he be
back???"
"Should I go out with this
man, older guy, or should I go out with this other
man who is younger??"
"I am 23 . . . I have been
sleeping with this cute guy -- will he stay?"
And love is not gender
specific.
"I am a lesbian.. .I love
this woman who is straight.. you think shell come
out with me? Should I tell her?"
"My lesbian lover and I are
thinking about creating a baby.. .do you think she
is the right one for parenthood?"
"I have not seen this woman
for many years.. .we used to be lovers.. . now she
is back in town.. .should I see her?"
All the women want to know.
will there be love? Love to women is the glue of
their lives. It makes waking up in the morning an
exciting event. . Destiny is love, love is destiny,
but some loves are just a tad more important then
others. Some loves are yariyari yara, and some are
to die for. What decides?
This is the question of the
ages. And the secret is in the stars. When we meet
lovers at destiny's change, say at 27,29,30, or the
second Saturn Cycle, 56,57 58, these loves are more
intense than the others. Anything that happens at
50 for example is (Chiron return) will wound you a
little, but the wound will be a healing wound, will
heal and leave you with new knowledge.
Love is a flow of energy
that is carried by us all. Love is needed to create
a successful new life. Love is the energy that
changes us most profoundly.
Love opens destiny's door
most readily and happily. Women often live for
love.
Women want to be loved
back.
Many women do well for a
while just loving without any returns, sacrificing
for children, doing double shifts of labor for
husband's comfort, and accepting their lot as the
creators of love but not the consumers of love. But
after a while they get listless, sick, depressed
when they feel unloved. Receiving love in turn is
what energy balancing is all about. To put out and
receive in equal measure is a skill I often tell
women to practice as homework. Reexamine what you
are responsible for in the universe, never do more
then nine things at the same time. In the nine
things, your own upkeep must be part of. Many women
are surprised to find that their load of
responsibilities is made up of 25-30 things they
have to do! Creating a written list is helpful. It
makes it possible to confront the details, and do
something about them.
When a woman cannot give up
anything from her overloaded list of
responsibilities, I ask her to place the list under
their pillow for overnite. This way her unconscious
can sort them out while she sleeps. Upon waking,
look at your list and give them priorities. Give
them numbers from 1-9. Place then again under your
pillow and spend another nite and another nite,
each morning rethinking it, prioritizing them,
assigning them numbers of importance. The third
morning you should have a workable "to do" list .
So what do women want?
Women want a more perfect world. It's a good goal,
however ambitious, but you know women when they
have made up their minds, they will strive for
this. In the deep end of the sub age of Aquarius
there is no reason why we should all not work and
pray for a world where women are happy, children
are loved, and the men, yes the men, are more human
identified. And love is a little easier to give and
take.

Blessed be.
