Today’s Oracle takes us to the Pisces monthly of Jan. 1, 2000
Rare aspects around your professional life are so strong, supported by ideas so solid, this can only point to some strange new version of worldly success. Much that you’ve envisioned and dreamed of for so long now has the potential to become tangible reality, with the power to endure and bear fruit for years. With any luck, the planets and your own marvelous sense of what is right for you have guided you toward mindfulness of the bigger picture. Hopefully in these years, you’ve learned to dream a little, because these dreams are the food and fuel of life; they literally create the scenes which we live and into which existence unfolds. And it is never too late to start. But I remind you now that your achievements, gains or miracles of communication in the outer world must be balanced perhaps on a scale of 2:1 with attention to your inner regions and karmic workings-out. Though you’re no stranger to these realms, it’s also true that when activity of your outer life becomes compelling, it’s easy and risky to lose your center. Inner focus may seem pointless at times, requiring great discipline; but it promises protection and peace of mind, it will fund your work in the world of ideas and events; and will grant beautiful opportunities to get closer to people in your life. But remember that in this delicate process of coming to know others, there is a difference between being gutsy and being trusting. Trust will build gradually if you remember that what is so natural to you may be quite unfamiliar to close partners, and something they must learn in their own mysterious ways.

” feeling like i’ve just come through a span of so much change and movement” lifting a bit of your comment Amanda…..
..for me this change and movement has been both external and internal and the degree of change and shift is much like the aftermath of a great storm; looking about now to get grips and see what’s what. But nothing is nor will be as it once once – on much greater scope than imaginable. So my looking about (to see what’s what) does not bring much grounding or remedy; the only proper “tool” I seem to have for understanding who and where and how I am is claiming my right to exist and knowledge that all is Change.
Jan 1 2000 a bomb went off in this fishes life. the debris has long been falling. There was no center at all for years until I realized I was in the eye of the storm.
perhaps this Day of Mother is a good one for reflection.
well, this sounds painfully apropos:
“But I remind you now that your achievements, gains or miracles of communication in the outer world must be balanced perhaps on a scale of 2:1 with attention to your inner regions and karmic workings-out. Though you’re no stranger to these realms, it’s also true that when activity of your outer life becomes compelling, it’s easy and risky to lose your center.

i feel like part of my struggle right now is feeling like i’ve just come through a span of so much change and movement happening externally — often in great ways — that i’ve lost touch with a lot of inner things that help me feel centered. and i’m not feeling particularly understood in that.
in fact, i’d love to remind someone in my life that “Trust will build gradually if you remember that what is so natural to you may be quite unfamiliar to close partners, and something they must learn in their own mysterious ways,” since i feel like up on a pretty steep learning curve with some shit.
The Oracle has sealed the deal for me. I am in countdown mode of moving on from investment banking and corporate America after 30 long years and it feels really good! I am enjoying the anticipation of exploring the creative side of my personality outside of the strictures of mediocrity that have been my (self-imposed) lot for most of my professional life. I plan to finish a degree, start writing (maybe a blog) and hang out in Central Park sketching whatever comes into view. Spending time with the people who can teach me the most over the next few years – my lovely, fun and wonderful children – is going to be so exciting that I can barely stand it.
Peace
Gee whiz. That is pretty ominous — this is the turn of the millennium horoscope for Pisces…Planet Waves had been in existence for a year. I was living in Miami Beach at the Dunes Beach Club, having left New Jersey after Hurricane Floyd flooded me out of the space I was living in.
I LOVE the Oracle !
