Today’s Oracle takes us to the Taurus weekly for Oct. 17, 2008

You prefer to take an idealistic view of life, but lately that’s been difficult. You seem bogged in so many concerns, and invested in involvements with others that are not necessarily providing you the rewards that would at least make them seem worth bothering with. I share your disdain for false optimism, in the form of the lies that we tell ourselves about how things are going to get better without necessarily having to work for the gains. That being said, in order to keep a positive frame of mind, you need to decide where you’re going to invest your faith. For too long you’ve placed it in forces that seemed more powerful than yourself. Even if they had power over you, you could at least borrow a little. This is what needs to change.

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 All Access and Core Community members. See this link for more information.
