Planet Waves Daily Oracle for Sunday, May 24, 2020

Today’s Oracle takes us to the Aquarius weekly for April 9, 2004.

You are on the verge of becoming aware of something that seems like a conspiracy. Is it professional, or does it involve your family? It has overtones of both; I would lean toward the personal in my interpretation, and I would say it goes back a long time. Living in the present does not mean having a case of amnesia, as most people think. This is an issue you’re going to be working with for a while, but few focal points of your growth will have shown better results in the long run. What you can do now is study the dynamics of groups of people, and get a sense of how intelligent individuals can form one idiot of a collective.

The Saturn-Pluto conjunction is separating, but still strongly influencing our experience. While this event will happen two or three times in the lives of most people, this particular instance is a moment of convergence and reckoning for the world and for us as individuals.

Today’s Oracle takes us to the Cancer monthly for April 11, 2005.

You may have your doubts about whether you can ever achieve that great thing in life reach the pinnacle of your creativity or have the influence you want and deserve. But doubt doesn’t get you there. If you let go of that one habit you will see that every other factor is conspiring to propel you to stardom. Remember you don’t really want to be a superstar — just a guiding star which in truth you already are. But to guide you must be visible so tune it up and turn it up and remember that small achievements add up to great ones.

Today’s Oracle takes us to the Sagittarius weekly for April 18, 2014.

This is not the time to make or break contracts — you’re under too much pressure, there are variables you don’t know about, and it’s essential that you figure out what you want before you commit to anything new. I suggest you hold to your current course as the grand cross and solar eclipse do their work, though obviously if you encounter something interesting to do, do it if you want, as long as you don’t sign away any portion of your future longer than an evening or weekend adventure. The very most significant thing you can do is to see your options. This really is one of the great challenges facing humanity, even in this time of so many alleged choices. Most of the usual options don’t apply to you; they are too trivial. Your astrology suggests this is a time of authentic, deep decisions for you, and to make such decisions you need some idea of what is available. Your fiery nature usually likes to jump into things headlong without considering what might develop. Your current astrology is saying you need to be a clear thinker, an analyst and a visionary to make the most out of your options, many of which you don’t yet know exist.

Today’s Oracle takes us to the Leo weekly for February 28, 2003.

Tune into your home and its surrounding environment. Do you feel safe there? Tune into your heart; do you feel safe within yourself? You’re in the midst of a deep rearrangement of the way you relate to people, and that will only work if you’re sure your environment is secure. People may be coming and going from your life; there is a sense of movement and shifting commitments and most of all, growth. It may be taking a lot out of you, but it’s also adding a lot as well. One thing that you’re learning is the utmost value of clear contracts. Contracts are always based on good faith; at any time, anyone can bail. But what contracts give us is a framework of expectation. Just relieving the mystery of what to expect can help us get on a lot better with people, which right now counts for a lot more than it usually does.

The presence of another person in your life may feel so strong that you’re wondering whether contact on any kind of equal terms is possible. Yet there is no contact with another without contact with yourself. The deeper you go into your own sense of presence in your world, the deeper you’ll delve into your experiences of others. Your solar chart suggests that you’ve been keeping secrets from yourself. These secrets involve your relationship history, and in particular, what your values about deep connection are and where they came from. More specifically, Venus retrograde in Scorpio suggests that you’re deeply involved in a process of understanding your sexuality and how it manifests in your relationships. This is as much a quest for understanding the past and its influences as it is about letting go of out-of-date ideas and emotional responses — which in part means letting go of your attachment to them. This is not as difficult as you may think, particularly when you assess the cost of the attachments and get a feeling for the benefits that can come when you take your life into your own hands. I would offer these queries. What is the meaning that you put on sex, and how did it get there? What is the value you ascribe to it, and has it actually demonstrated that value? And, what did you leave behind in the distant past that you want dearly to retrieve?

What you’re wanting right now, or what you’ve suddenly discovered is true, may be scaring the shorts off of you. It is indeed a strange notion to feel an impulse to run from what you truly value. But the other side of this sensation is that the experience of truly valuing something or someone is an extremely daring prospect, because, as you have discovered so many times, you cannot always keep or possess what you value the most. Yet there is a way of looking at life, and of coexisting with life, whereby our values can be directed at building that which will last. That takes two things, really: vision and cooperation. Neither are guarantees of success. But we can be assured that without both, there won’t be much that will last till the tide comes in.

Today’s Oracle takes us to the Gemini monthly for May 23, 2012.

The whole is not only greater than the sum of the parts — it’s a lot more fun, and useful, and interesting. Yet there’s another level to this — what you actually do with all this potential. A car is greater than a garage full of parts, but then — where do you go? This month’s precise Sun-Venus conjunction in your sign is a clear demarcation point between the past and the future. Wherever you are going, it’s somewhere other than you’ve been, and I reckon, other than where you expected to go. This will require you to summon flexibility that’s unusual even for you, and to facilitate that you are about to release many old tendencies that have kept you stuck in certain patterns and at a certain depth within yourself. Or rather, your relationship to yourself. It’s true that you relate to yourself in a way that many people you know do not — consciously, aware of your ‘inner other’. Over the next few weeks, it looks as if you discover that your inner other is actually your soulmate. You don’t need anyone else to play this role for you; your friends, lovers and companions have different roles to play. Your experience of them, and of anything seemingly outside yourself, is rooted in your experience with yourself — and your relationship to yourself. If the planets in their courses say anything about you right now, it’s that you are recognizing that your relationship to yourself is something to honor and treasure every day.

It is not time to change directions quite yet — not for several weeks at least, and, at that moment (you will know when you arrive) a long pause is in order. For now, there’s more mystery to be unraveled, and more of the rewards of what you’ve worked for, available on your current path than you probably recognize. Clearly, doubt is playing a powerful role in your life. My sense is that your deepest struggle is whether there’s really a place for you in this world: not just any place, but your special place, where you can bestow your unique talents and gifts on the culture. If that is truly what you seek, hold the commitment in your heart as a conscious act. And remember that if your unique place is what you seek, you will have few direct role models, and few who really know reminding you that while effort brings you far, faith carries you the greater distance.
