Planet Waves Daily Oracle for Tuesday, June 4, 2019

Today’s Oracle takes us to the Leo daily for August 9, 2005.

Perhaps the greatest reward of this phase of your life is the extent to which your short-term plans your long-term goals and the person you’re becoming are all so well aligned. You can trust one thing in particular: that all the small adjustments you’ve made to your life are actually adding up to something both coherent and sensible. You may not have seen the larger scheme at every step but you were following your intuition and you’ve done it well. There remains one last piece to the puzzle but you would be wise to wait until Mercury changes directions in your birth sign next week to finalize those arrangements.

Mars in Cancer is making some big-news aspects to many planets — particularly Saturn, Chiron, Pluto, and Eris. Eric has not covered these transits in any birthday reading or the INTELLIGENCE readings, but he just dove into 12 spirited, accessible, genuinely useful videos that put the movements of this key planet of desire, drive and aggression, into personalized context for you. These Spring Reading videos — titled Call the Astrologer! — are available for instant access in a 12-sign bundle, or by individual signs. You can see a video introduction here, and watch a sample video here.

Today’s New Moon on your birth anniversary is a reminder that to leave the past behind you, it’s necessary to consciously work through what has been holding you back. We live in a culture that encourages denial, which is easy enough to slide into. Yet that denies the rewards of growth, and the benefits of experimenting with new ways to approach your circumstances. It has been said that problems are opportunities, which is only true if you make the choice to use them for all they are worth.

Today the New Moon in Gemini is exact at 6:02 am EDT; it appears to indicate a busy, multi-layered fusion of your conscious awareness and your unconscious. Or, think of that as what you express externally and what you experience internally. Your intuition and incidents of synchronicity may be prominent, and worth attention. Same with perfectly timed words and ideas offered by someone in a group or by ‘the collective’ (including the collective unconscious), the dreams you had while sleeping last night, and how any of these things match what you envision for your life.

What are you noticing about something (or someone) you feel inexplicably drawn toward? Do you find it polarizing or triggering in any way at the same time? How many layers or angles to the issue do you see, and do you have mixed thoughts or feelings about it?

An asteroid called Magdalena, associated with Mary Magdalene, is very closely conjunct the New Moon. One possibility is that this represents a long-term commitment to a cause, or possibly even a person — though it may be the ideas or philosophy that’s as important as anything, especially if you’re in a position to offer heartfelt support. Saturn and Neptune are offering assistance in working toward your ideals — just remember not to take yourself too seriously in the process.

Today’s Oracle takes us to the Aries monthly for December 4, 2006.

Perhaps the surprise of the year was how much you have to share with others, and how much others are willing to share with you. We live in a time when private interests dominate everything, and where for the most part our homes have become so isolated that we tend to forget that they are designed to facilitate not only solitude, but also community. There is something to be said for sharing your washing machine with a neighbor. Live human voices are riskier than the television, because people have needs. But it’s good to be in contact with the pleasure of helping others find fulfillment.

The message of your birthday chart is clear: wrap up old business, get your house in order, and plant seeds for the future. They will not take long to come to fruition, though they will be fed and fertilized by your vision for yourself. Consider what is possible, and have conscious faith in your potential. Be not overwhelmed by the size or complexity of the world; rather, make friends with these things. You may feel like you’re but a small part of the grand dance of the universe, though you are an essential element of all that is.

The Moon enters Gemini today, on its way to a conjunction with the Sun tomorrow: the Gemini New Moon. Your mind may be as busy today and tomorrow as it has been, but it’s possible your thoughts will be directed more inwardly. That’s not to say you won’t talk to anybody; there simply might be more on your mind that goes unsaid.

Multi-tasking looks likely — along with social occasions with more than one goal, especially in terms of communication or a higher/broader purpose than just chit-chat. Even if those activities don’t have the kind of high-energy charge that you’d expect with a Full Moon looming instead of a New Moon, you may still experience a sense of busy-ness.

A square between the Gemini Sun and the centaur Nessus in Pisces brings up the question of duality, particularly where your thoughts and emotions are concerned. The idea with duality-themed signs (the twins of Gemini, the two fish of Pisces) is to find the point of synthesis — which is different from compartmentalization. Whatever you need to express or bring into fuller awareness today, whatever action you need to take to resolve some tension, see if you can do so without hiding or shutting down some other, seemingly conflicting, part of yourself. You are one you; which means all parts of you can coexist consciously. It’s possible this has not always felt the case, but it’s likely time to stop that type of thinking.

Today’s Oracle takes us to the Aries weekly for October 7, 2005.

Someone close to you is helping you expand your own sense of what is possible. It is true that at the moment, they really can help you, and lead the way beyond your own past. At the same time, I trust that you’re involved in a careful review of what matters to you the most. You can see that there are certain ideas about yourself to which you have a tendency to cling, but which you really can afford to take to the secondhand shop. In many ways, the unflinching generosity of someone you love is showing you that you have it in you to give more than you ever thought.

As we go deeper into this most unusual and challenging phase of history, intelligence is the thing we need the most. That is the theme of the 2019-2020 annual edition of Planet Waves — audio and written signs available for instant access. See more information here.

Today’s Moon-Venus meeting on your birthday is an invitation to let your light shine: to be seen for your beauty, without hesitation. Don’t hide yourself away; engage with the world on your own terms. The opportunities you have will be the ones that you take. You are the person who activates your own potential, by your choices and by your actions. Growth does not need to be fraught with resistance; there are, at times, easy openings to what you want, though you must be the one who consciously chooses to push the door open, or to set out in a new direction based on your own desire.

Notice today if anything seems to point your thoughts toward the early origins of a particular belief. Beliefs tend to be emotion-based, and yet we generally articulate them in the language of fact and rationality. Mercury’s conjunction to the asteroid Chaos today in Gemini suggests multivalenced creative thought is possible, especially in a kind of primordial way: that state before things evolve into their full shape. Yet Mercury and Chaos are also square Borasisi in Pisces: a suggestion that your need to express these ideas (in speech, action or some form of creation) could be at odds with some long-held belief — one that may actually represent a fiction of some kind. What happens to your perspective on this belief in the process?

Meanwhile, Mars in Cancer is making a square to the asteroid Pallas in Libra. This could describe some kind of emotional reaction against a more ‘political’ or diplomatic way of relating to people that you think you’re supposed to use, especially to please them. In other words, pay attention to any need to push against someone or something in a way that indicates you’re not standing in your power as an adult. Can you express yourself directly, from a place of balance, without the full emotional charge? It’s not the same as being diplomatic, because you’d still be saying and doing what you really mean, but it’s less likely to scuttle out sideways like an angry young crab.

Today’s Oracle takes us to the Sagittarius monthly for June 7, 2007.

Someone new in your life is more profoundly affected by you than you may imagine. This will become obvious as time goes on, though I suggest you pay attention now, so that you apply the right amount of strength and influence to the relationship; you run the risk of pushing a little too hard. All you need to do is be a stable point of orientation for this individual, which comes with making sincere statements of your desires and your needs. I would say understatements, but I don’t suggest you manipulate yourself. Be authentic, with as little emotional charge as possible.

Think strategically and over the long term. Careful planning and taking things one step at a time should help you reach your aims. This includes being clear about what you want and why you want it: a gradual approach is benefited enormously by reminding yourself of that potent vision by which you were inspired right at the beginning. Keep that image front and center, and you’ll be able to focus on the necessary level of detail while also steering in the right direction.

Venus is in Taurus — one of its ‘home’ signs — and is making a few aspects today. One of those, a square to the asteroid Psyche in Aquarius, seems to speak to what might be a stubbornly persistent sense of wounding to do with love and relationships. It may have something to do with jealousy, possessiveness, trying to measure up to social expectations of relationships, or some other niggling self-doubt or insecurity. Whatever it is, if you’re feeling some inner tension about it, that’s a sign that you actually can do or say something about it to begin to heal and resolve it.

Venus is also making trines to Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn between today and Sunday. Even though people often cast Saturn and Pluto as ‘scary’ planets, this configuration actually offers a good deal of support for things like: discussing problems with a relationship partner; the kind of stability that comes with two people living up to their responsibilities together; understanding the deep inner workings of your relationships (including sexually and emotionally). With a little effort on your part, the ground appears well prepared for whatever you need to express, verbally or physically.
