Planet Waves Daily Oracle for Sunday, Sept 8, 2019

Today’s Oracle takes us to the Leo weekly for April 19, 2013.

Think of yourself as the guardian of something of global importance. Imagine that you are a protector of all that is fair, honest and loving. That’s humble service, but it’s also essential that you make the mental shift from littleness to magnitude. You have a significant function in the world, and to fulfill that function you will benefit from keeping your mind as open and encompassing as you can. Center yourself on values that are designed to protect the core of life and love. You know what they are, and it’s natural for you to contribute to the world in such a way that supports what matters the most to you. You now have that opportunity, in what may be a continually increasing way. Remember the leadership skills you’ve developed. Remember your knack for getting others to cooperate with you, and to cooperate with one another. Remember how resourceful you are, which means you can pull together whatever it takes to get the job done.

It is difficult to feel good these days; it’s challenging to focus on your growth and self-care, or even to relax. We are pulled out of ourselves constantly, and often distracted from our core purposes. IN THESE TIMES, the Planet Waves autumn reading, will help.
You may now pre-order individual signs here.

Following the scent of your curiosity could very well be fruitful in the months ahead. Get yourself into a position where you can more easily access inspiration; read more, study people and scenery, listen to good music — whatever oils your creative wheels. Once you start to work on a specific idea, there’s a chance it may take off unexpectedly, or draw you in unusual and interesting directions. If you go along for the ride, it’s likely to turn out quite the adventure.

The Moon entering Capricorn today could help you to feel out some of the more practical steps or details to your grander dreams — as in, things you can start doing now. In one sense you have plenty of time; yet that’s mainly true if you figure out how best to use the time you have. That is, you are the one standing at the threshold of your dreams; you are the primary factor determining whether or not you manifest them.

Sure, there are other factors, some of which are out of your control; yes, the path that emerges might diverge from your original plan. But the point is to focus your conscious intention through some deliberate attention, since much has been swirling about this week in the mental, psychic/spiritual and emotional spheres. Focus and discipline have likely not been in abundance, as a result. Yet any plan you’re starting to form can still include a wide spectrum of possibilities.

That said, caution would still be wise around communication, as Mercury in Virgo exactly opposes Neptune in Pisces today. Interactions could be a little confusing or vague, so patience and asking lots of questions may be helpful. And if your intuition is sending up a red flag about someone — especially anyone you’re trying to negotiate an important deal with — heed it. Seek out more information; stall finalizing the details if you can, to see what else emerges that you need to know.

As you explore new creative and imaginative territory, you may at times come across some mental or emotional barriers. These are often formed in our youth, possibly in the guise of safeguards or stabilizers. However, if they prevent you from understanding and exploring the full range of your potential, you no longer need them. Be gentle with yourself as you clear your path, though also be firm in your determination. You need to be free to run where you will.

“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.” You’ve probably heard these words by French philosopher Pierre Teilhard de Chardin — or a paraphrase of them — at least once in your life. But have you ever thought much about the inherent tension in this concept? To acknowledge that one is first a spiritual being is also to recognize how limiting the human experience can be: the density level; the literalness; the pain and separation. Yet there are also moments when we get a sense of how vast and full and connected we are, and we can infuse daily life with moments of that truth.

Today Mercury in Virgo squares Jupiter in Sagittarius (tomorrow it opposes Neptune). Also, the Sun is making these same aspects — along with a trine to Saturn in Capricorn, and a square to the Great Attractor in Sagittarius. There is a combination here of the tension and contrast of the literal, earthy, rational, limited experience and the imaginative, visionary, compelling, grand potentials that characterize the “human” and the “spiritual.”

If you’re feeling at all frustrated in trying to express something huge, long-range and inspiring in very literal, detailed or earth-bound ways, this is the related astrology. Flesh out your vision for the future in broad, vivid strokes; see what practical parts of it you can organize. Maybe don’t jump in the deep end yet; but know that it is there, waiting for you — and that the water will likely only get clearer in the coming weeks.

Today’s Oracle takes us to the Sagittarius monthly for January 1, 2001.

Do something with your anger before it does something with you. If ever in these coming seasons you find that life is more difficult than seems fair, you are simply not being constructive or creative with your passions; rather, you are just burning yourself up. I hesitate to begin with words of caution in front of what amounts to a gold-standard astrological assurance of healing your deepest wounds, flowering creatively and reinventing yourself in a succession of transformations that will leave you thanking the universe for its astonishing gifts. But this is a two-edged reality; you must do your part. For far too long, you have attempted to change inwardly while leaving in place certain highly questionable relationship situations; this is not possible. You may have attempted to figure this out or even rationalize it in terms of your father’s pain, or your mother’s strange ideas about love and commitment, but neither have grounded you in the immediate need you have to live your life your way. It is true that much of your plight stems from a more distant past than present surroundings might indicate. Yet still, you must respond to what is occurring now, in ways accountable in today’s terms. While this reckoning and your ultimate choice to act will “confront you with reality” — and it with you — these confrontations will also set you free.

It is difficult to feel good these days; it’s challenging to focus on your growth and self-care, or even to relax. We are pulled out of ourselves constantly, and often distracted from our core purposes. IN THESE TIMES, the Planet Waves autumn reading, will help.

This is likely to be a busy year for you, potentially involving lots of action. Any project you have particularly in mind could very well take off; things appear set up so that effort put in will yield proportional results. Just be mindful of your physical and emotional limits, however broad. Watch for burnout, and set some time aside to relax and to make contact with your deeper thoughts and feelings. We all need to wind down occasionally, and it helps keep your ideas fund in credit.

Mercury is in the process of making a series of aspects from Virgo, one of the two signs it rules. So there’s extra emphasis currently on thought processes, communication, and what you do with an idea once you’ve thought of it. Under normal circumstances, Mercury’s current trine to Saturn in Capricorn would describe an ability to organize the details of your environment methodically. Mercury’s square to Jupiter would suggest the optimism and broad vision needed to plan a long-range goal.

Those statements are still true; they just come with a twist right now. That twist is being provided by Neptune in Pisces. Is Neptune enhancing the idealism you need to achieve an important dream? Perhaps. Is Neptune obscuring certain details and truths that could impact your pursuit of that dream? Maybe.

Yet today Mercury is also making squares to the Great Attractor (a deep-space phenomenon in Sagittarius) and an object called Altjira (in Gemini). There’s something here, I think, about the need to think beyond simple polarities (yes/no, good/bad, black/white, possible/impossible); and also about understanding who stands at the gate of your dreams (hint: it’s you). You could certainly get caught in minutiae and easily forget to look up. But it might be just as easy today to push against the details of reality and let your mind expand toward a vision of what’s possible. It doesn’t matter if you never reach it; the point is to let its potential suggest new pathways forward from where you are now.

Today’s Oracle takes us to the Capricorn weekly for July 19, 2007.

Faith is not a matter of opinion. It’s about trusting what is true before you actually have proof that it’s true. Faith is not about wishing; it’s about living as if something were already proven to be true. If you can do that where a particular financial or deeply personal matter is concerned, you will see that in the light of faith, certain evidence is visible that is simply not visible in the shroud of darkness that is created by fear. I recognize that at the moment the world seems like one huge advertisement for what is unfair, untrue or otherwise doubtful. As you are a person of character, we are counting on you to stand your ground against these things.

You may feel you want to pursue a particular set of goals, though unsure as to how some people might respond. Where possible, you could seek clarification; there’s certainly nothing wrong with taking other people’s viewpoints into account. However, ultimately you are the arbiter of your own life, and everyone else is in a peripheral role. Therefore, start by being clear within yourself, and prioritize what you feel and know to be right for you in any decision. — by Amy Elliott

Thinking, communicating and feeling could all feel rather fuzzy today, and for a good several days more. Venus is exactly opposite Neptune, and Mercury is moving into the same position. This is classic ‘wait and see’ astrology. As in, wait and see if the person turns out to be who you think they are; or, wait to make permanent decisions and commitments based on your current perceptions.

This does not mean you must cease all activity and cocoon yourself. More like, go about your business and relationships, and appreciate everything about them, but with the understanding that you might need to adapt to further information down the road. The Scorpio Moon could be intensifying emotions, making them especially compelling. This Moon could also describe greater ability to read between the lines. Even so, you might consider holding in confidence what you think you’re intuiting until late in the month.
