Astrologer Minerva, in tears. Minerva, whose real name is Gabriela Dima, is a fascinating personality of Romanian astrology, with a destiny that seems written in the stars and sprinkled with dramatic events. His life, marked by losses, revelations and remarkable achievements, could be the subject of a spine-tingling film. A graduate of three faculties, a former prosecutor, investigative journalist and renowned astrologer, Minerva, now 66, shared touching details of her life on Denise Rifai’s Kanal D show.

It all started at just 14 years old, when Minerva, having minimal knowledge in the field, decided to make her own astrogram. The results were both intriguing and troubling: she had discovered that at the age of 42 she was going to be a widow and lose her child. Although she was only a teenager at the time, this premonition would be confirmed in time, bringing tragedies that deeply marked her life.
The interest in the mysteries of the universe and in astrology was awakened by a special incident. The wife of a bulibasha, to whom Minerva’s mother had offered help, gave her a set of “gypsy playing cards”. Out of curiosity, Minerva began to study them and interpret what she saw. With the innocence of childhood, it foreshadowed dramatic events, including deaths in one’s own family. These experiences reinforced his belief that he had a special gift, and astrology became a central part of his life.
Years passed, and what seemed like a simple curiosity turned into an in-depth practice. But the premonitions from adolescence would come true in the most painful way possible. At 42, Minerva lost her husband and child, confirming that astrogram made decades ago. His losses were devastating, but they also gave him incredible inner strength to carry on.
“Would you have wished you hadn’t read in the stars that your child was going to die?”, was the question asked by presenter Denise Rifai. Teary-eyed Minerva replied, “It is very difficult for me to talk about it, especially since there were not one, but two. They were mine and my brother’s too. And I don’t understand why even today the Sanitary Directorate did not agree to declare the epidemic. 13 children had died in Arad, they simply fell from their feet in front of the blackboard at school, and then I said that I will never guess, and look, when astrology wants to show you figures, it does. When I fell into bed this year, the only save I saw was in my map. And depending on what I saw on my map, that’s how I went to Arad to have surgeryMinerva said on the show.

How Minerva got along with her mother throughout her life
Minerva admitted with deep regret that her relationship with her mother was also difficult until the age of 42, an aspect of her life she wishes she could change. Only after this stage, the two managed to find a common language, but the lost time and moments of emotional distance left deep traces.
„I didn’t get along with my mother until I was 42. I was only doing what I wanted, she could never impose anything on me, but I realize that she was by my side even when she was alone. She was the only one who was with me. Then I went to the priest and told him that I actually hated her, there were some things that I only now understand. He came to see me now when I was hospitalized in September, he opened the door, smiled at me and went out into the hall and started to cry. The doctors asked her why she was crying and she answered them, my child came home to die with her mother. Now more than ever I would like to relive my adolescence and childhood to appreciate her more and show her that she is everything to me”, said Minerva with tears in her eyes for Denise Rifai.
Minerva’s story is one of courage and acceptance. Although he went through terrible losses, he found the strength to move on and turn the pain into wisdom. “Life is not only about what happens to us, but also about how we choose to respond to challenges,” she said in the interview.
