Today’s Oracle takes us to the Taurus monthly for August 2000.

When Saturn entered Taurus in 1998, I had a lot to say on the theme of values, which in my view is the most meaningful keynote of that sign. Most of the time, values exist on an unconscious level: the deep motivations and intentions that drive us to do, desire, love and despise. I have noticed that people often draw a blank when I bring up the concept, as if it’s all so down-in-the-basement that hardly anyone has even gotten a grasp on it, much less mulled it over. But experience is the best teacher, and though you may have not ascribed the word to your recent quests and challenges, I suggest that you do; for on one level, values are all that has really changed. Have you not come to terms with who you are in some very important ways? Have you not gotten a firmer grasp on the meaning of your existence, and come to terms with who you are, and who you must become? The work is not over, but you’ve done very well, and the path ahead will be much easier.

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.
