Be sure to keep in mind all that you have achieved so far, especially in recent years, and you will be able to fend off any moments of self-doubt. You need to retain a clear head and focus on what is true, what you know in your bones. Doing this will empower you to move forward with the next item on your to-do list, and effectively silence any critics either within or without.

Feeling optimistic about some long-range planning you’re doing? Excellent! Just be sure you slow down enough to account for any details that could trip you up. With retrograde Mercury in Pisces making a square to Jupiter in Sagittarius, creative inspiration and spiritual reflection abound. So why not act on it? Keep your point of view flexible, though; and don’t assume you have all the answers or information you need. You almost certainly don’t at this time, but you likely have the motivation and tools to find most of them. Key insights might not emerge until Mercury stations direct on March 28, but you can still move toward where you want to be — even if the path bends like a river rather than flying straight like an arrow. Keep an eye out for beliefs about yourself that are ripe for review (and possibly for transformation or outright dismissal) along the way; same with self-righteousness. A little humility could go a long way currently.

Planet Waves Daily Oracle for Friday, March 15, 2019

Today’s Oracle takes us to the Capricorn weekly for February 26, 2010.

For a while, you get to do the pushing — or rather, you now need to. Certain factors that had you at the edge of your limits have eased off, and you’re left to your own strength, ingenuity and willingness to make progress. This is a test of how strong and how determined you’ve become, and you may be surprised at the outcome. You may feel like you’re burrowing through your own emotional body, passing through layer after layer of mixed feelings. You may feel like your progress is obstructed by the weight and substance of the past, but in reality this is a mirage. You may believe that the perfect partner is going to show up to help you, however, certain people you care about have plenty else on their minds. So now you get to give it a go, seemingly without support. That’s the place to start: simply be willing to take your first steps as an independent agent.

Act on your ambitions; the months ahead are an excellent time to make progress. You may well feel sufficiently driven to power your efforts without any further motivation, such that you might need to check in with yourself occasionally and make sure you’re not pushing ahead at the expense of your wellbeing. Your plans are likely to work best if you’re at your most happy and healthy. If you can muster your powers, you’ll be close to unstoppable.

Work that is a combination of physical and intellectual appears favored today, thanks to Mars and Saturn in a nice earth-sign trine across Taurus and Capricorn. You may even find you’re able to be more diligent than usual with physical tasks, though mind the details; and if you’re currently dealing with a difficult situation, you may feel a greater ability to cope with it. Yet today’s star aspect is a conjunction of the Sun and Mercury in Pisces — marking the astrological midpoint of the current retrograde. If you absolutely must conduct important business during a retrograde of Mercury, and cannot wait, today is traditionally said to be the best day for it.

Between Mercury’s retrograde status and the fact that it’s moving into contact with Jupiter, there’s a real possibility for sloppiness with the particulars of any given situation to creep in. Measure twice and cut once, however you apply that metaphor. Sun-Mercury conjunctions tend to indicate heightened self-involvement — and can make it a little harder to see yourself as others do. Can you use that direction of focus to review or untangle some facet of your past spiritual growth? With today’s first quarter Moon also square Jupiter, you have some leverage to work with.

Respond to who and what responds to you. This is no time to play the games of anyone who teases, taunts or tantalizes. Minimize your own use of these social devices, which are deeply culturally engrained and exist as unfair methods of evening out the score in situations where there’s a perceived power imbalance. Such inequities mask a deeper level of disconnect on the level of values, that is, what is really important to us, and relating to what is truly meaningful to the people we connect with. There can be no tantalizing in such meetings, only an exchange of that which is valued by two people who really understand.

Take decisive steps this year to claim your place in the world. Act on every opportunity to stand up and stand out, though also ensure what you have to share is substantive and can help make a difference. Some effort may be needed initially to refine or expand your ideas; yet you have the seeds in place and you know where you want to be heading. Getting people to pay attention probably won’t take long.

Wield your creative powers for good today, particularly the good of all concerned in any particular endeavor. The Pisces Sun is making a couple of aspects indicating that you can get a lot done right now. With the Sun’s sextile to Pluto in Capricorn, consider first focusing on clearing up anything that has become disordered or confused (including your home, work area, or an interpersonal situation). That should open up some space in which to really get into a project, plan or goal that excites you — the territory of the Sun’s square to Jupiter in Sagittarius.

If you’re naturally a go-getter, you may need to guard against overextension; on the other hand, if you typically tend to be cautious, you may be able to succeed at more than you normally might. The one thing to watch for with all this good juju is the potential to get a little self-righteous, or to believe a little too fervently in anything that’s not solidly factual — including your own personal mythos about who you are in the world. There’s always more than one side of the story of how we affect others, and of our origins. You may encounter fertile, multifaceted imaginative territory today, but it will be up to you to meet it constructively so that chaos does not reign.

Today’s Oracle takes us to the Leo weekly for June 5, 2009.

Whether you realize it or not you are making a huge shift this week, turning a corner toward recognizing the true depth of your worth. But this will only come when you can resolve your own criticism of yourself that stands a tall wall in between you and the dream in your heart. You may be trying to be rational about this, but don’t forget every great dream that has ever manifested began with a leap of faith. If you can acknowledge your desire to be bold and take a chance on something you feel passionately about you are more than likely to see a way this can become a reality. You are entering a phase when the world is catching on to your gifts and what you have to offer. Perhaps it’s time you woke up to this too.

Focus on tying up loose ends before moving on to the next phase of your life. You can make your journey much smoother the less you leave unfinished; it can take energy to deal with matters you would prefer to be over, especially if they crop up unbidden. Sorting this out includes asserting your freedom from other people’s agendas. You can learn a lot by noticing who is willing to respect your boundaries, and who isn’t.

As the Pisces Sun moves into its square to Jupiter in Sagittarius (exact tomorrow), you may want to give yourself a reality check. Are you sure you’re being completely honest with yourself about a certain matter — especially something about yourself, which you may be unknowingly expressing? The flip side of this aspect is that it’s offering significant creative and spiritual energy right now. How will you use it to move something forward in your life?

Also, today Ceres in Sagittarius opposes Juno and the object Altjira in Gemini; Altjira was named for the Aboriginal creator god of the dreamtime. Overnight into tomorrow, the Gemini Moon will sweep through this aspect pattern. You may wish to pay particular attention to your dreams tonight. Anything related to your relationship needs, communication with a partner, certain friendships, or mentorship could try to get your attention in subtle, subconscious ways — or might be reflected back to you by someone else. Between this aspect pattern, Sun-Jupiter, and Mercury being retrograde in Pisces, it may be wise to fact-check what seems to be intuition before you barrel forward with it.
