Pursue your ambitions and look forward by all means to the rewards that accompany success, though also remember that the best work is what you do for its own sake. Even if you think pragmatism is turning choice into necessity, keep your higher ideals in mind and don’t stop looking for opportunities. You need a role in which you can express your gifts, and which is truly a labor of love.

An encounter with someone today could offer a clue or some logic to your understanding of how things came to be the way they are in a relationship (courtesy of aspects Venus is making). Note: that might also refer to your relationship to your own lust, sexual identity, erotic power or even any tendencies in love that you perceive to be (or are) ‘selfish’. There’s a reason you’re where you are at now. Can you feel what’s being mirrored to you and trace its path?

At the same time, you may know that you need to make space for yourself in your life, but do you know how? You could start by setting up some actual, physical space in a room that’s dedicated to a specific purpose. This could be an activity or ritual that feels inherent to who you are. Think passion projects, favorite creative outlets and spiritual practices — though with Aries ruled by Mars, physical activity also fits, especially if it carries some measure of devotion, and sex might top that list. Yet don’t underestimate the power of your mind to create and hold the space you need.

In fact, one could say that is always the first and most important place to start: before you can effectively find or make physical and temporal space for yourself, you have to consciously choose it — amidst the clamor of family expectations and obligations, social pressures and FOMO, and all our modern digital distractions. Choosing it means understanding that you deserve it; simply being on the planet in your current form implies that all facets of you have a place at the table. When you have space in your life for who you are, the container you can hold for those you love — and for the ways you can serve the world — gets that much larger.

Planet Waves Daily Oracle for Wednesday, April 24, 2019

Today’s Oracle takes us to the Capricorn weekly for May 7, 2004.

Mars shifting into your opposite sign Cancer will finally take the emphasis off work and put it onto your most intimate relationships. You have for too long borne the brunt of the will, intentions and plans of others. They don’t know more than you, and you may have fallen for the illusion that they do. You will, as long as you fail to use what you know. That you are intelligent and ethical is a given. The challenges of the coming weeks will compel you to prioritise what you know is genuinely important. Remember, a leap of faith is never as far as it seems.

Keep moving along in your growth process; you’ve made considerable strides and are now ready for the next phase. You are looking at the world from an increasingly mature perspective, which is like coming into the full rights and power of adulthood: you are conscious of your free will, and know your ability to exercise it. Continue putting that into practice, and treat sunshine and storms alike as fuel for your journey.

Even a little awareness of where you’re coming from could go a long way right now — particularly when it comes to your sexual energy. (You can also read ‘creative energy’ or ‘life force’ for ‘sexual energy’ if it fits better, though several factors are emphasizing the more literal reading.) By ‘where you’re coming from’, I mean everything from your family of origin and their ancestors — and their baggage — to your own old hurts in the love-and-sex department (especially the ways your sense of identity or self has been impacted), to the facets of your erotic nature and history that you work hard to keep anyone else from knowing.

That’s a lot of ‘stuff’ with high voltage potential, and it may require careful handling as you figure out how to give it voice. You don’t need to shout to move this energy effectively, but it does want to move. Starting small could open the way for other, less pressurized, moves down the road — toward healing and a greater sense of freedom in being who you are.

Planet Waves Daily Oracle for Tuesday, April 23, 2019

Today’s Oracle takes us to the Cancer weekly for June 26, 2002.

oracle

It would be best to consider your entire situation as the need to express emotional energy. Your home reflects your feelings. Your feelings about your home and the condition of your living space tell us more about what you’re experiencing and the way you’re expressing your energy than anything else presently. It may seem that the ideas and sentiments you’re feeling are too large and too passionate for mere personal use but it seems to be working the other way: unless what you are moving through observing and learning are applied directly to your own life in tangible ways it will all seem curiously hollow. Take initiative where it counts and larger opportunities will follow.

Prepare to go on some adventures, whether in the physical or mental realm. Your mind is likely to be working excellently, and you may find it unusually easy to come up with interesting ideas. You can help this process along by doing what you can to maintain your wellbeing at all levels, down to choosing clean and nutritious food as often as you can; and by stimulating your brain with new and interesting experiences.

Today the Sun makes its first annual conjunction to Uranus in Taurus for this era. Are you in any kind of conscious process of becoming right now? If not, or if you feel something like that got interrupted or suspended last year, it’s possible this aspect may act like jumper cables to get you up and running. That said, it might not come through in the most convenient way; Uranus is known for being ‘revolutionary’ — which for most people (who are not instigating the revolution), means disruptive.

Yet Taurus is not a sign known for its enjoyment of sudden changes to routine, or of change simply for the sake of something different. Here’s the thing, though: most Taureans I know have a very strong sense of their core values. And if they become aware of a need to adjust in order to better express and serve those values, they can get very determined about moving in that direction.

You don’t have to be a Taurus to tap into that, however; you just need to feel how the ground is shifting, and then respond in the way that feels truest — and yet new — for you. Today’s Moon in Sagittarius should help you to access some extra optimism and flexibility if needed. Venus square Pholus is a reminder that even modest acts can express your emotions, desire, or pursuit of someone — and generate an effect.

Planet Waves Daily Oracle for Monday, April 22, 2019

Today’s Oracle takes us to the Scorpio monthly for December 1, 2005.

You have likely experienced some dramatic examples of why honesty is so important. It is easy to deceive, often it’s difficult to tell the truth; but if deception traps us, truth opens like a parachute when naught else offers protection. The opportunities to dive in either direction continue to be present. You may at times wonder what, exactly, you mean when you say something; and whether what you say can ever bring across your true intentions. Still, the opening is there to make an effort, to explore, to reach — and such count for a great deal right now. There are times when restraint is the better part of valor, and this is not one of them. Make each decision one at a time, always based on the question, “What is real for me now?” That your personal reality (“personality”) can change so often or so quickly is truer to your nature than most would care to admit — but you know.
