Today’s Oracle takes us to the Gemini weekly for Aug. 18, 2006.

You’re finally free of entanglements and complications that have hung you up in small ways, mostly emotionally, for well over a month. You now face the challenge of unfamiliar territory, which is a lot easier than feeling stuck in the same old place. Someone you’ve met recently seems to be outdoing any recent experience of ‘strange but true’. Treat this person with respect; they’re likely to wind up as a mentor or guide. Don’t run, even if that’s what your instincts say — rather, listen and feel. Family Focus: Adults besides parents play a vital role in your family this week, particularly older friends and grandparents.

The Daily Oracle offers a horoscope selected randomly by our Intelligent Archive Oracle program, unique to Planet Waves. It’s also a database of my horoscopes going back to the late 1990s. You can use the Intelligent Archive Oracle to answer questions and give you ideas for how to handle problems and situations you cannot see through. This feature is available to our Galaxy, Backstage and Core Community members. See this link for more information.

The Art of Becoming, the 2018 Planet Waves Annual by Eric Francis, will be your best guide to the major astrological shifts ahead. If you pre-order now, you’ll not only get all 12 signs of the written reading for $99, but we’ll include three extra videos covering the forthcoming sign changes of Saturn, Chiron and Uranus. These videos are only included if you get all 12 signs. You may choose your individual signs here.
