Today’s Oracle takes us to the Taurus weekly for Oct. 31, 2008.

There are plenty of moments in each day when you seem to be at the mercy of forces beyond your control. Looking at yourself through one eye, you have an image as free both in terms of what you believe and what you can do. Looking with the other eye, you seem to be so deeply invested in someone or something (including an idea about your own life) that freedom equates to little more than choosing what hymn you will sing at Sunday services. It would be too easy to look out at the world and see how hurt or stuck everyone else is. True, on this planet, it’s not so difficult to find scared, injured and struggling people. It would make more sense to reckon your concept of independence with its corresponding reality or lack thereof.

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.

Eric has begun the early pre-order phase of the 2017 annual edition. You can read his full letter about it here. Or, go straight to the purchase page. (If you’re a Core Community or Backstage Pass member, please email us at cs@planetwaves.net for your discounted price.)
