Planet Waves Daily Oracle for Wednesday, March 14, 2018

Today’s Oracle takes us to the Virgo weekly for June 24, 2008.

You have a right to change who you are, and you’ve probably decided the time to do so is now. Indeed, it would appear that you have embarked on one of the most detailed and energetic self-improvement programs of your life. Before you get too far, I would propose that changing who you are is not nearly as important as re-visioning how you feel about yourself. Notably, the influences that are pushing you, and pushing you so hard, to improve yourself are likely to be sending you negative, conflicted or frustrated signals. Another set of influences is encouraging you to accept yourself exactly as you are right now. I recognize the difficulty of this paradox, and I know how pervasive it is in spiritual and self-help circles. The whole game seems to be founded in the need to change, and is activated by acceptance. But we don’t necessarily see that acceptance is the form of change that makes all others possible. Obviously, putting yourself under a lot of pressure does not work. If, however, you discover that you are already under some enormous psychic pressure or carrying what seems to be a burden you don’t understand, that is a sign that you need to switch methods. You may not recognize that what you are going through now is indeed a burden, even though you may feel it is a virtue.

Today’s Oracle takes us to the Cancer monthly for May 2002.

All your life you have been goaded by fears of a world of good and evil. Few people experience such a powerful force of opposition in their cosmic schema, even though the theme of struggle between the dark and light sides populates most of film, television and fantasy. These distinctions are now blurring, which may be another source of fear; our conception of reality is the main thing that keeps us feeling safe, even though that conception itself may not offer safety. Your fears, your imagined thoughts, your desires and most of all your idea of bliss are now taking on new tones and colors. You are safe, if you allow them to be what they are, and listen to their voices.

There is an immediacy to the sky at the moment that may be calling forth your worst doubts, while at the same time you possess an idea that your intuition is positively superb. And this intuition points to an end to the long delay in gratification that you have endured. Can the two ideas be reconciled? Facing this question of “which voice is true” is one of the major crossroads along the path to wholeness and inner listening. To me, the answer boils down to which you want to be true. People who have faced with the worst conditions possible on this planet have survived merely because they wanted or needed to do so, and this was always closely related to their definition of their purpose (rather than, for example, their physical strength). But your chart speaks not of difficulty, but rather of strength and opportunity, of the promise of a new level of independence, and the rewards of your efforts. If you think the odds are in some way stacked against you, choose again.

Today’s Oracle takes us to the Libra monthly for March 2009.

One of the greatest turn-ons for humans in bodies and egos (that would be all of us) is a powerful sense of identification with the other; that is, with a counterpart of some kind. The planets are arranged in such a position as to make this inevitable; you are likely to see a little of yourself in everyone, including how you perceived yourself when you were younger. You may feel like you’re standing in a time machine. The thing to bear in mind is that the time is in fact right now, not yesterday. Andy Warhol once said that all sex was about nostalgia. I’ve noticed many times that this is true, but it doesn’t have to be.

Today’s Oracle takes us to the Virgo weekly for April 23, 1999.

There is an Indian concept called “sumscara,” which means “hidden past impressions.” We live in a universe of these impressions, yet we barely notice. If you walk past a coffee shop, you are reminded of a person you met there, and may feel a longing for him. When you go home, every sight you see contains data about the past. There is even scientific evidence suggesting we carry the visual and sensory impressions of our parents in our minds, and can act in ways that are directly responding to traumas that they faced before we were born. The first way to be free of from this conceptual prison is to be aware. Notice what you are seeing, and what it means.

Today’s Oracle takes us to the Pisces weekly for Oct. 25, 2007.

A close partner seems to have crawled out of their shell and is aligning with your most radical, innovative or creative side. You have been in no mood lately to go shopping for your ideas in antique shops, and most of the hobbits on this planet panic when someone comes along with something that is actually new, besides a flavor of ice cream. If they only knew how new you feel to yourself, and where this is pushing you to go — particularly as one so committed to making your mark on the world. You will learn a lot from the positive reactions of others this week. Be humble, but not demur. Stand your full height, and speak in your real voice. People have put enough pieces of the puzzle together to actually see what you are trying to show them.

Something that has made no sense may come into focus all at once, and then just as fast disappear like you had not noticed. It looks like a puzzling question or discussion point where the solution or the real situation becomes obvious, complete with the little tag about how it would be a good thing to write down because you might forget. For this reason I suggest you note your observation in some way, and in particular, how you feel about it. The missing piece, if there is one, is the feeling aspect of the scenario. If you are experiencing a loss of authority over your life, you may get a glimpse of the issue. I think it’s on the level of emotional connection. For example, you may seem to disagree with someone over an idea, but really it’s on the level of feelings and sensitivity.

Today’s Oracle takes us to the Leo weekly for Aug. 20, 2015.

If you want to improve your financial situation, be more generous. This counts for yourself and with others, in that order. Your astrology bestows you with a natural obsession with money, which may manifest as anything from being hyper-cautious, to thrifty, to a spendthrift; none of these are really virtues. None of them reflects the deeper underlying nature of money, or of resources. You tend to over-think things, rather than allowing your ingenuity to work for you. It would help if you thought in larger, wider ways about your potential and about the amount of whatever you need being available to you. One thing that might help is noticing every time you encounter a thought of lack or scarcity. Ask yourself whether that’s really true, which may in turn lead you to ask yourself how you came to that conclusion. What facts support it, and which suggest that something else is possible? There is a belief that wealth is created by pinching pennies. Actually, it’s created by efficiency and the conscious use of resources. To this end, interesting ideas count for a lot. And so does letting things flow.
