Today’s Oracle takes us to the Scorpio weekly for Aug. 22, 2008.

Whose approval do you need, and why do you need it? You seem to have a lot of ideas about what you must accomplish first in order to be acceptable to people who don’t actually have much influence in your life. This is distracting attention you could be devoting to your friends. It’s also blocking your view of how much you’ve achieved in the past two or three months, and from the fact that you do need a rest. I know a lot is happening in your world, but make sure you take some time in a space where you are totally alone and allow yourself to forget it all; and remember who you are on the deepest levels of reality. You may notice, once you get there, that there were many feelings you were dealing with temporarily, but not quite facing or processing. Now is the time, and your life will still be there a few hours later when you return to your other reality.

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.

You can now get instant access to all 12 signs of the 2018 Planet Waves annual edition, The Art of Becoming — we’ll be publishing the additional transit videos soon. Order all 12 signs here to read your Sun, Moon and rising sign and those of loved ones, or choose your individual signs here.
