Today’s Oracle takes us to the Aries weekly for Dec. 19, 2003.

Mars, which has spent the past six months in Pisces, this is the week that it’s finally returned home to your birth sign. That means energy, confidence and a really odd feeling that goes something like, “What was I so worried about all along?” Meanwhile, your professional life needs some special attention. The situation needs to be sorted out carefully, not with bravado, so you’ll need to act with some restraint. Put an emphasis on communication rather than on action: another not-so-Marslike strategy. You’re clearly at a new and probably unexpected starting point, but you need to take it just a little slowly and carefully — for now.

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.
