Today’s Oracle takes us to the Libra weekly for March 1, 2013.
There are two approaches available to you: competitive or inclusive. Said this way, the choice seems obvious, though every influence in our society is about turning relationships into a zero-sum game. That means a game with many losers and just one winner. The game you want is one where everyone wins. One thing to remember is that there is plenty of you to go around: plenty of love, empathy and appreciation of diversity. You don’t have to ‘commit’ yourself to anyone or anything the way that you were told you had to in the past. The person you need to be committed to is yourself and your own cause, meaning: know your wants and needs. Know what values are guiding you. What I suggest is that you let your imagination guide you, and see who harmonizes with you. Remind yourself how much you have to offer, and you will also remember why it makes sense that others would have so much to offer you. If you bump up against some limit on your self-esteem, climb over it, walk around it or keep going.

I have an opportunity to move to a management position. I’ve been in my present position for a long time with no movement and I feel stagnated, but I’m also scared of taking on more than I can or more than I want to. I risk leaving behind some security too. If I have struggles in my new job, how do I ask for help without looking unqualified? What should I do? Anyone have some advise??
In addition to beleclaire & marie’s thoughts, I’d say: better to ask when you don’t know rather than to act like you do know if you really don’t. You probably know more than you think you do, assuming the management position is in the same company you’ve been working for. Those “above” you in the company want you to do well for obvious reasons; and those working “beneath” you will likely feel like they’re valued and get to contribute if you happen to ask them questions they may know the answers to.
It’s sounds like you’re ready to grow professionally… the extra responsibility is always scary. But I suspect if it’s something you enjoy doing, or at least a field you find interesting, you’ll probably surprise yourself as you rise to the occasion. Good luck!
And beleclaire: thank you for the reminder that stagnation is a shadowy aspect of Scorpio. I needed that reminder.
Awesomeness!
Breathe!

Hi Daniel
To quote the bestseller – feel the fear and do it anyway
stagnation is a shadowy aspect of Scorpio
use is positively to see deep into people and support them
new growth always has ‘difficulty at the beginning’ ( see hexagram 3) and you will be out of your comfort zone…there’s the learning
Thank you all so much! Virtual hugs, all around.
If you’ve been given this opportunity it means that your ready for it, dear Daniel! Change is always scary. also because we need to gain new experience – that’s why it brings up fear – moving to the next level is challenging but wonderful! Well done! (((()))))
Thank you dear Lizzy! There’s an opening and I’m not particularly favoured, so it’s still up to me to make some moves and changes. But yes, it’s stirring up a bit inside me. Aaaaaaand breathe…. 😉
Just read Belelcaire’s comment – yes, lovely!
Good luck, dear Daniel! Let us know how it goes. xxx
