Today’s Oracle takes us to the Virgo weekly of Nov. 7, 2008
How are your financial plans coming along? It looks like you’re discovering that perfect measure of creativity, drive and discipline, which you can apply to many other aspects of your life. My sense is that you’re working toward something, but you’re not sure quite what it is. I can tell you — it is more freedom. Think of your goals this way. You want money to work for you, rather than you working for it. You want your sense of responsibility to include information about when the basics are fulfilled, and then that is the time you have to yourself. You want to feel secure all the time rather than in just selected moments of clarity. In reality, you would love money to not be an issue at all; and the best way to do that is to become very, very good at handling the stuff.

you’re on to it- it IS freedom.
I’ve spent time & effort carving a little livelihood for myself- and this has had to do a lot with being a Jane of all trades- in some bleak times. Luckily (or perhaps blessedly), I no longer do things I hate and my days are no longer consumed by utter Boredom working for some idiot.
that said, I realize ‘just making ends meet’, even if it is on my own terms, is not my definition of freedom. I definitely short-changed myself by ever thinking it would be. ah. lessons…
the goal is to be able to do what I want to do from anywhere, at anytime. not just from my own little private Idaho-
thus I have become painfully aware of how v. important it is for me to ‘work’ my ‘free’ time…
thanks Oracle, no one really knows how to talk with me about these things, and even though I know I’m just typing into a box, I feel you are actually listening somewhere somehow. you must Be. you consistently dispense such wondrous contemplations.
peace Oracle.
