Today’s Oracle takes us to the Leo monthly of Aug. 1, 1999
Note from Eric: This random horoscope happens to be the Leo horoscope that I wrote right before the Leo total solar eclipse and grand cross of Aug. 11, 1999. If it means anything, I wrote it in Berkeley, sitting at the desk of Kalli Halvorson, who used to have a website called HerStar. Kallie if you’re out there I would love to hear from you. Here is an article about that event called Thinking of you on Judgment Day. This may be the event that sparked off the global situation we are facing right now; it was the heavy-duty eclipse that opened the door to the Bush administration’s intentional crashing of the world infrastructure.
The essence of the total solar eclipse in your own birth sign is recognizing the essentially identical nature of creativity and the sexual force within you. Our culture struggles with both creative and sexual crisis. Our jobs are, for the most part, totally boring. There is a war between the sexes, which blocks full expression of love and sexuality, and hence, full expression of life. Meanwhile, homophobia blocks not only exploration of same-sex experiences, but also self-exploration. Then we get stuck doing things one way, or thinking in one pattern, wondering how life got so jammed-up. Making the connection between your sexual power and your creative power on a very personal level would allow you to get beyond this battle. Perhaps you have been getting this message in recent years, in the form of those bells ringing with your true potential, combined with the presence of provocateurs who have entered your life. In any case, you’re unlikely to miss it now, as long as you flow with the energy. A key to this eclipse is the experience of movement. To move with grace, you must find your center, align your mind to that center, and then flow with the rhythm; in simple terms, be yourself, no matter how passionate, sexual or creative you are. Do not compromise this for anyone or anything. Movement involves autonomy (literally, becoming self-named), and possessing a sense of progress independent from the world’s harsh judgments on people who exhibit beauty or originality. To grow and thrive in the coming years, you must stay one with that dependable inner flame which ignites your soul, fuels your creative passion, draws you to others, and lights your way through the dark.
