Today’s Oracle takes us to the Pisces monthly of April 1, 1999
Your ideas and perceptions about what is past, what is present and what is future may be a bit mixed up these days, as retrograde Mercury swims upstream in your own sign for the next week, then stops, then swims back downstream. It reminds me of the novel One Hundred Years of Solitude, when a forgetfulness spell came over the whole town, and the local fortune teller spent her days doing Tarot card readings explaining peoples’ pasts to them. But I suggest you not get too lost in this surrealist soup. Experience shows that time moves in many directions. If you reflect on your life, you may notice that what you’re living today was long ago foretold, which simply means that you are living in the future. It’s a pretty wild place, but to appreciate this to the fullest, you will need to stay firmly grounded in the present

Surreal is the word and One Hundred Years of Solitude is one of my favorite books. I keep seeking a reality I thought I used to know, where it seemed like people were reasonable, and gauging reality appeared to be more of an ‘a’ to ‘b’ enterprise, but now it’s obscured under the rushing current of a fresh water stream in the springtime. Muddy. Chaotic. Over the banks. Now a river. Flooding, carrying structures I used to depend on down with it. Things like democratic ideals. True morals and spiritual values. Wow. What’s coming next?
