Today’s Oracle takes us to the Gemini monthly for Feb. 1, 2000.
For years I was biased against the spiritual sex movement, feeling that what we really need is the freedom to express passion, not a new religion. But since it was religion that basically killed sex by banning its discussion and images, and in particular, Christianity which made sex a criminal act, perhaps the general heading of religion is an important place to re-explore sexuality, and use the opportunity to integrate, in a comprehensible way, another concept that is too often lacking from sex: love. Religion, after all, means “re-connecting,” and that is what the spiritual sex movement tries to do. But whatever happens out there in the culture’s movements, within your own life, you are well-poised to discover that the fastest way to show up at the threshold of heaven is with your clothes off, covered with sweat.
Note, The Oracle is a random selection from the Eric Francis horoscope archives. Each day we publish one entry from among the 10,000 in our database. It’s a little slice of horoscope history — but chosen by our Oracle program, which always speaks to the present moment. New horoscopes are published each Friday plus twice a month in Planet Waves subscriber edition and Planet Waves Light. And for your 2012 annual reading, you’ll find Revolution. Revelation. Reality Check.
mystes: thank you!! I always want to hear what you have to say. We had a chance last night after our date, which was why I had a little freak out moment earlier. I asked her if she wanted to come over for a drink at my place, leaving her to make a choice. She said, maybe anther time. I got a text from her later saying she would like to take me out next week, but I felt relieved that we didn’t “go there” last night. I mean, we have nothing in common. So my integrity is saying, just leave this situation. And yeah, she totally got it that I was reserved. Anyway, red flags popping up and if we go out again, I will def be honest, clear the air, and see if that is something she would enjoy too.
Hugging Scorp, You may not want to hear this, but I’m gonna vote for *scrupulous* honesty. Every situation has its own poetry built in, so loosen your throat and let yourself speak spontaneously, kindly – but clearly about your reservations and desires.
Then rock back on your heels and let her have her experience. After she clears the anxiety (cause honey, I’d put money on the fact that she already intuits your reservation) and projected desires out of *her* system, she may look and feel very different to you.
My 40 years of experience in the relationship saddle says that this is not only necessary for your future happiness, but will demonstrate some power you don’t even know you have yet.
Bon chance…

Thank you dear Huffy, your words are very appreciated.
HS, I know how terrifying this stuff is. But she might be up for exploring too. We always have so much going on in our heads, imagining what the other person is feeling etc. But you never know, she may have the same fears as you! Try to take it one day at a time, and not give too much weight to your thoughts. Good luck!
alt, if you prefer to send me a private note, my email is huggingscorpio@bell.net.
Cheers,
HS
I’m gonna be really honest right now and need feedback from anyone willing.
I met this young woman in the summer, we lost touch for a bit, and recently reconnected. We had a date last week and it went well and we’re def into each other now. But, I can’t leave this feeling that, despite that, I can’t see us together longer that a few months. I don’t want to be a jerk, I always want to be honest and respectful. I also really would like to explore intimacy as well. This post seems encouraging, but I’m halted by the fact that if I say I’m not wanting anything serious, she’s gonna bolt and a lovely mutual exploration is killed. What do I do? I need to have more experience because I have had next to none. I’m paralyzed because I don’t want to hurt her feelings. Does that make me a jerk even though I still deeply care?
Help.
Well, phew!! :::fans face furiously::: 🙂
