Hone and practice your fact-checking skills. You are capable of setting an excellent example for others in terms of rational and critical thinking. Look for original sources, notice when myths or unsupported opinions are being presented as facts, and avoid our present cultural tendency to take sides almost for its own sake. Stick to finding out the truth on any topic for yourself, and keep your mind determinedly open. There’s always something new to learn.

Mercury makes a conjunction to Altjira, an object named for an aboriginal creation god of the dreamtime, today in Gemini. Both are opposite the Great Attractor, a deep space phenomenon in mid-Sagittarius. If you can remember the dreams you have while you sleep, you might try journaling them or even telling them to a friend to see if some new understanding emerges. Even if you don’t tend to remember your nocturnal dreams, you may wish to pay attention to anything peeking out from the edge of your awareness.

In fact, as the Pisces Moon squares these points in the early hours EDT, it may knock something from your unconscious into a more consciously visible or creatively useful form; it could be an emotional tone that stands out. As you articulate whatever that is, notice if it’s something (or relates to someone) that seems out of reach, but which also has a strong pull for you. It (or they) might even provoke a strong negative reaction; your job is simply to notice that, and see what the effect tells you about yourself.

Today’s Oracle takes us to the Sagittarius weekly for July 17, 2009.

A recent unexpected proposition or confession may have presented you with an opportunity that sounds almost too good to be true. An important intimate or financial partnership has the potential to flood your world with more of the emotional and tangible security you need for your next great adventure. You may wonder if you can trust this, but recent developments have likely shown you the depth of your most important commitments and relationships. You judge your accomplishments more than anyone else you fear. Recognize your selfless dedication and integrity are rare gifts that need not stand in the way of your success. This is returning you to a phase where you feel safe and free to paint the sky fearlessly with the vivid colors of your imagination.

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

Push ahead boldly with your aims. A powerful tailwind is gathering behind you, ready to help you propel yourself along the path. If you experience challenges or fears, burn them as fuel, and take a no-nonsense approach to anxiety. You know what you are capable of achieving: all that’s needed is for you to get inspired, then organized, and you’ll be virtually unstoppable. This is not a moment to settle for a compromise. Be unabashedly ambitious.

In our world of extensive social commitments, tribalism-via-internet, and the peer pressure of social media ‘likes’, it can be challenging to retain genuine independence. Today in particular it could feel imperative to guard and tend those parts of yourself that don’t quite fit in with everybody else, or which you’d actively cast off at some point. This is described by a Vesta-Eris conjunction in Aries. Remember that you don’t actually have to go to sneaky measures to accomplish this; you’re far stronger when you can stand unabashedly at your center and let that motivate you to do what matters most to you.

Today is also the last quarter Moon, with the Pisces Moon square the Gemini Sun. With duality the name of the game on both conscious and subconscious levels, what do you need to do to feel integrated in what you express to others? If you’re in a rough patch, this question could come up through a mini-crisis of some sort; if you’re having a relatively smooth weekend, you may feel an infusion of creative energy you can use as you wish.

A trine between the Moon and Mars in Cancer is offering physical energy and emotional vigor for projects, including group work. Getting moving in any form will likely feel good (and if water is involved, so much the better). You may also feel more confident today in sharing certain emotions — though with the Sun square the Moon, you’ll want to choose your words carefully to be sure the message that is heard is the one you want to send. Hidden tensions could make their way out regardless; uncomfortable is that can be, it does give you the opportunity to deal openly with what needs to be addressed.

Planet Waves Daily Oracle for Sunday, May 26, 2019

Today’s Oracle takes us to the Scorpio weekly for November 28, 2016.

The nature and meaning of your personal possessions and resources is now the front-and-center theme of your life. What do you have? What do you value? Who do you value? What about yourself is the most solidly and dependably your own? There’s a real question arising with the current astrology about what’s yours, and what is community property. Community may range from housemates to your colleagues to your family of origin. It’s any circumstance where you must fan out your personal resources into a group of any size, going back to the beginning of your life. If you are feeling anger in any form, you might want to consider what of yours is being treated like some kind of collective property. Once you get a handle on what that might be, you can begin to claim yourself back, step by step. The goal here is not to be covetous of what you have, but rather to claim it as your own, so that you may share it as you wish, with whom you wish — or not.

Study the difference between a routine and a rut. The former can help enhance your freedom to move forward. If it starts turning into the latter, though, muster your plans of escape and find a way to break free, the sooner the better. You can cover a lot of ground in the coming months, and will benefit from keeping an open mind to the possibility and the refreshing nature of change, however disruptive it may seem at first glance. It will do you good.

Do you seem to be of two minds on a certain matter? As in, can you see both (or more) sides to an issue in a way that’s making it difficult to come to a decision? If so, you might feel a little internal tension today related to a commitment you made regarding the issue at hand. Particularly if you made the promise to yourself, it could be time to consider the details of that oath and do something to follow through on it.

As the Gemini Sun moves toward Sunday’s last quarter Moon, it makes a sextile to Salacia in Aries today. Is there any sexual material that was provoked or spotlighted by the May 18 Scorpio Full Moon that could use some resolution, expression, or the next phase of movement? There may be some traction here — an opportunity to dig into whatever you’ve been holding back from communicating. You don’t need to make it everyone’s business; just use your words where, and with whom, they have the potential to offer the greatest sense of wholeness and awareness.

Today’s Oracle takes us to the Cancer weekly for June 6, 2003.

There are at least two levels on which it is possible to ‘get serious’. One is to think seriously and initiate projects that reflect your ideas. The other is to be clear in your intentions and your relationships, particularly with those who appear to be more powerful and influential than you, and those who are working in your service. Part of leadership and success always requires that we work effectively; another requires that be able to negotiate, work with and, to a real extent, be equal to the people to whom we must answer. Both leaderships qualities are calling to you know. And they are yours to embody in some very unusual ways.

Stride out fearlessly in your own truth. You have the power to decide for yourself where you belong, and among whom, regardless of what other people may suggest. The point is to ensure you are free to pursue your desires without feeling hemmed in or made to hold back any part of your essential honest self. Associate mainly with those who are inclined to afford you that independence in its entirety.

It’s possible today may bring an encounter with some kind of mentor-figure (which could also be a maternal type), if you have not already had an experience this week that fits that description. This is suggested by an opposition between Mercury in Gemini and retrograde Ceres in Sagittarius. Given the inward- or backward-looking condition of Ceres, you might also consider past guidance you’ve received from such a person that may be useful again now.

Conversations of a particularly intellectual and spiritual or philosophical nature appear to be most likely — though the general topics of travel, higher education could also be in the mix. The thing to notice is an element of the interaction being nourishing — certainly for yourself, but perhaps for all involved — and don’t underestimate the sustenance offered by fun for its own sake. Watch for the small miracles of everyday life; the kind that seem to appear simply because your eyes are open and your intuition is in the ‘on’ position. It could be that you missed something along these lines at one point; catching it this time around could prove useful.

Today’s Oracle takes us to the Gemini weekly for October 10, 2008.

This week above all else, make sure you don’t believe what your public relations department is putting out. Maybe it’s true; maybe it’s not; something else definitely is. The image that you seem to be projecting into the world is distinctly more self-centered than what you are learning, developing and creating on a deeper level of your existence. You might not be ready to share your feelings or ideas with anyone you’re not personally involved with. At the same time, you seem intent on making a splash. The risk you run is going public with something — anything from a social event to a major project — then changing your mind the next day. Before you commit to anything, I suggest you know exactly what you’re doing, even if that means waiting to figure out just what that is.
