Today’s Oracle takes us back to the Capricorn weekly of December 1, 1999
What in God’s name is a sea goat, the official animal of Capricorn? Well, that’s a long collection of myths, but in Babylonian times, he was known as the “Antelope of the Subterranean Ocean” (the sea beneath the land), and also as the god Ea, “He of vast intellect.” Modern astrology credits Capricorns with great wisdom based on extensive memory from the past. This is a real phenomenon, so you among few others must be seeing clearly how fast, and in how many ways, times are changing. And I can hear you laughing. Just because everyone else is so blasé about what amounts to total cultural upheaval hasn’t got you fooled for a second. Your challenge in these seasons has been to change swiftly and with great awareness. You are a traditional person, but you also know that to be real, tradition must be alive, and that to be alive, people must change. So, my dear, keep on rolling, enjoy the once-in-a-universe show, celebrate with the living, and fear not the dead whom time has left behind. They can’t hurt you; they barely even notice you.
