Goth Shakira gives advice to a Capricorn who is constantly being lovebombed and ghosted

Goth Shakira gives advice to a Capricorn who is constantly being lovebombed and ghosted

Published by Sam Flores

I’m so disheartened at the ability of men to work through their emotions. I’ve been chronically lovebombed and ghosted. I changed therapists, did nine months of celibacy, started dating slow and sober, chose more “stable” types and it still happens the same way every time — they ghost and get back with a less challenging ex who they feel more control over, because with them, they’re not required to grow or change. I have a Capricorn Sun, a Taurus Moon, and a Libra ascendant, with Venus in Pisces. Help. I’m going to (very lovingly and gently) hold your hand when I say this — the fact that you are doing everything “right” and following what you (and even professionals) believe to be the most evolved and healthy way of doing things, does not guarantee that your ideal romantic relationship will materialize in your life at the time that you want it to. Or even in the way that you want it to. Women are the most empowered they have ever been to be the sorceress …

Mia Goth Interview on ‘The Odyssey’ and ‘Star Wars: Starfighter’

Mia Goth Interview on ‘The Odyssey’ and ‘Star Wars: Starfighter’

Published by Daniella Wilson

Long before the new year, Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey had already emerged as one of the most anticipated movies of 2026. A new trailer, which dropped Dec. 22 and has since been viewed 37 million times, only fueled the fire as fans flocked to see the first extended look at the mythic action epic toplined by Matt Damon as Odysseus. With a trailer, new stills and Nolan’s first interview about the film out in the universe, some of his stars are more open to answering questions about the secretive project. That includes Mia Goth, who plays Melantho in a star-studded cast that also includes Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Zendaya, Charlize Theron, Lupita Nyong’o, Jon Bernthal, Benny Safdie, James Remar, Elliot Page, John Leguizamo, Himesh Patel and more. The Hollywood Reporter caught up with Goth on the red carpet Saturday at the Palm Springs International Film Awards, where she joined her Frankenstein family to pick up another trophy for their work in Guillermo del Toro’s epic. Though she wasn’t ready to reveal The Odyssey’s …

Goth Shakira’s love advice for December

Goth Shakira’s love advice for December

Published by Sam Flores

This story is part of Image’s December Revelry issue, honoring what music does so well: giving people a sense of permission to unapologetically be themselves. How do you tell a partner (who seems very committed) that your sexual identity is changing and you feel the need to explore that? Relationships are a dance of ongoing moments of consent, negotiations and understandings. No matter how long you’ve been with your beloved, or how many experiences you’ve shared, or how much you have in common, humans are, by nature, always in flux — which means every relationship is always evolving too. In even coming to the realization that you yourself are changing, you are moving in acceptance of this truth. For that I commend you, as this is not always easy to acknowledge. In contrast to the illusions presented by society and media, a union of lovers isn’t as simple as the joining of two people who are just oh-so-perfect for each other in every possible way. The reality is that when it comes to sexual compatibility, …

Monthly love advice by our columnist Goth Shakira

Monthly love advice by our columnist Goth Shakira

Published by Sam Flores

This story is part of Image’s October Abundance issue, reveling in indulgence, maximalism and the deliciously impractical. How do you balance giving a partner the grace and patience that you yourself would want, while also acknowledging the gut feeling that someone may not be ready for you? With a question like this, it’s clear that you’ve already done some very compassionate (and also pragmatic) thinking around you and your beloved. And that’s the most important step. Often the hardest part is getting here in the first place — it’s the nature of the human ego to work persistently to position itself as the victorious (or victimized) protagonist of every story, through its subjective perception of its experiences and circumstances. But not only are you concerned about the well-being of yourself, your partner and the relationship. You also seem ready to consider the possibility that extending grace and patience to your partner might lead to a situation that’s not the most comfortable or familiar, which requires the ego taking on its most dreaded task: Submitting to …

Love columnist Goth Shakira answers your questions about how to move forward after being closed off to love

Love columnist Goth Shakira answers your questions about how to move forward after being closed off to love

Published by Sam Flores

I feel closed off to love. Do I need to put myself out there, or wait to blossom again? The blossom-exposure continuum is more of a concentric circle situation. What if we thought of this as not an “either/or” choice, but a “both/and” possibility? The feeling of protection surrounding your heart is there for a reason: It has served your safety in the past. Moving the heart through pain often arrives in the form of a conversation between that heart and your mind — your mind can receive signals, one by one, that you might just be at peace enough to soften again. That can take time, and it’s not always linear. This works in your favor, because it means that you get to be the orchestra conductor of your own symphony. (Which only plays one song, by the way — it’s called “finally understanding and believing that the way that person treated you had nothing to do with you, and everything to do with them.”) Until then, you get to decide how the movement …
