Stretch into your visionary abilities: the power of your intuition and the breadth of your perception. There will always be moments when you are tempted to respond with a hot head, or to confuse emotion with philosophy. The present environment encourages that behavior. However, if you can keep in mind to pause and check in with your ethical compass, you will have access to a profound, wise and accurate source of inner guidance.

How’s your energy level — physical, mental, emotional, sexual, psychic? There are some agitating factors in the sky currently; yet we’re also just two days from a New Moon. So if you feel under pressure but also lack the ‘oomph’ to deal with it head-on (or in any way productively), there are correlations in the astrology. Namely: Mercury stations retrograde in the last degree of Pisces tomorrow; Uranus leaves the last degree of Aries to enter Taurus on March 6; and later that day the waning Moon meets the Sun for the Pisces New Moon. The New Moon is also square the polarizing Great Attractor (a deep-space phenomenon in mid-Sagittarius).

One way to deal with all of this is to go inward — to make a little space for yourself to settle down, settle in and take inventory of where you’re really at. Yet Jupiter is making a conjunction today to Varda, an object named after the deity associated with light in J. R. R. Tolkien’s legendarium. If you feel more called to express yourself outwardly, it appears that any offerings of light will probably go big. Just take your time to think everything through carefully, and mind previously identified boundaries. Mercury is entering trickster mode. Double-check all emails and texts before you click send.

Planet Waves Daily Oracle for Monday, March 4, 2019

Today’s Oracle takes us to the Gemini monthly for May 5, 2016.

One way or another, sooner or later, some undeniably good news will almost certainly find its way into your life before the year is over. That, however, is not the really big story for you. The feature event developing for you this year is that one way or another, sooner or later, you can (and probably will) become what amounts to very good news for at least one other person, and possibly for many others. Being an object of gratitude means being given a place of appreciation in the heart of another (or others) because of what you’ve done for them. It is a type of immortality. The trick to earning such a place without undue sacrifice on your own part is to be every bit as kind to yourself as you are to any and everybody else. — by Len Wallick.

As we go deeper into this most unusual and challenging phase of history, intelligence is the thing we need the most.

Remember that what you decide to bring to the world is entirely your call, and therein lies much of your power. If you choose to, you can create beautiful expressions of thought and substance. That can range from a fully fledged artistic masterpiece to simply brightening someone’s day with a kind word — on the surface very different things, but each necessary to making people’s lives easier on this rock we call Earth.

Today the Pisces Sun opposes Rhiphonos in Virgo. We don’t know a lot about Rhiphonos (a centaur), but there’s a suggestion here to be precise and firm in your boundaries with others today. It could also be that you discover someone else to be holding a much-needed perimeter for you, especially if you may be overstepping in subtle ways. There’s a lot of planetary emphasis on watery, all-welcoming, empathetic Pisces right now; that includes Mercury, which is slow, powerful and a little agitated currently, prior to its station retrograde on Tuesday. Few things truly require rushing around the way we usually do, and this would be a particularly good time to shift to a lower gear — no matter how much you feel like you might burst if you try. Some focused physical activity could help to discharge whatever electrical current Uranus is generating from the very final edge of Aries.

Today’s Oracle takes us to the Cancer weekly for February 7, 2014.

There is an overwhelming amount of water energy in the sky right now, which means you’re right in your element. Remember that crabs live on the bottom, in the deeps of the ocean. You are less affected by what is going on with the other elements than they are by what is happening in the water signs. So as Mercury retrograde picks up momentum, you’re likely to be feeling more at home than many people around you. However, as Mercury retrogrades into Aquarius on Feb. 12, you have reason to pay close attention to joint financial matters. There is the potential for both confusion and for making mistakes in contractual issues. Therefore I suggest you follow the wise advice of “don’t sign, don’t buy, don’t commit” until after Mercury stations direct on Feb. 28. By that time you will know what you need to know — and there is plenty. String people along, call them up and talk about puppies or tell them your astrologer said to wait. Whatever it takes.

Consider that you likely have more options than you realize in terms of shaping your reality. Thinking outside the choices immediately before you can offer a wider perspective, but when was the last time you truly did that? This is one of those instances when your intuition, synchronicity or dreams could offer the most useful insights. What would the ideal scenario look like to you? Ask yourself, then play with the metaphorical Crayola box of 64 crayons in your mind to envision the answer. This may do more to show what is possible than anything else.

Mercury stations retrograde in Pisces in three days. Have you backed up your computer yet? Even with this event happening in a watery sign like Pisces, which indicates some review of — and possible confusion in — more emotional facets of communication and creativity, it’s never a bad idea to begin following basic retrograde tech protocols, just in case, a few days ahead of time. Note that Mercury is in a square to Ixion in Sagittarius, and will still be so when it stations. How are your fantasy versions of a particular scenario matching up to the actual ethics involved? If you’re facing a second chance to behave with clear boundaries, are you taking it? Or can you already feel certain lines getting blurry? If ever there was a time to mean what you say and only say what you mean, this appears to be it.

Today’s Oracle takes us to the Virgo monthly for March 28, 2005.

Eventually the time comes to cross the great stream and meet the great man. And that time is now. Don’t worry about ‘losing yourself’ — the real issue is finding yourself. Which of course might feel like losing the self you once thought you were but that’s the price of progress. Remember to show suitable respect when you come face to face with this person; and since you may not know in advance who it is you’ll need to treat everyone pretty much the same.

Growing into the person you wish to become is more often than not a lifelong process, and there will be the occasional stumble. Take it easy on yourself. The key is perseverance: you will make it through so long as you keep heading in the right direction. At this moment, you are likely to see that path clearly, and have the opportunity to progress substantially along it. All you really need to do is maintain your focus.

Written In The Planets

How flexible are your closest relationships (especially the more intimate kind) when it comes to new experiences? What do you need to get out in the open with a partner? In what ways are you itching to make a bold declaration, indicate your interest, or otherwise spark up your interactions? All of these questions (and their related offshoots) appear to be on the table today. So how can you answer them with action rather than just more thinking and imagining and wishing?

Even though Venus is in a relatively reserved sign (Capricorn) as it makes a square to high-voltage Uranus in the final, restless degree of Aries, it’s still prompting activity to ease some of the tension. By late morning (Eastern time) Venus will move into cooler, calmer ‘friend zone’ Aquarius — though it will still be within friction-distance to Uranus, and Uranus rules Aquarius. You might find that your need for stimulation shifts more to groups and acquaintances, rather than primary partnerships. Whether that’s true or not, keep tabs on what, exactly, you may be provoking in others (and whether it’s truly the reaction you’d prefer). Supplying a little extra warmth than you might automatically offer looks like a useful approach.

Planet Waves Daily Oracle for Friday, March 1, 2019

Today’s Oracle takes us to the Scorpio monthly for September 1, 2000.

Too often, humans exist in a split universe; one side contains their ideals, and the other side contains their beliefs about what is possible. What we call “action” is almost always constrained or governed by these beliefs, which are far more durable and fixed than our dreams and visions in the parallel universe. This game can go on for quite a while, as we dare ourselves to be real, but for you the game is up. Yet at this time you are blessed with an unusual ability to mediate between the worlds; to call thoughts and desires into manifestation; to adjust your beliefs based on the unusual experiences you’re having which offer physical proof that your dreams are more real than you previously thought. But please take heed: this is not an opportunity to squander on hope, ambivalence or sadness. Fortune favors the bold, and the glad of heart.
