Today’s Oracle takes us to the Sagittarius weekly for May 2, 2003.
If the current final peak of the Jupiter-Neptune opposition is doing its work, you’re picking it up as the desire to say what you’ve never said, to go where you’ve never gone, and to get into yourself and heal what you’ve never been able to make right. Meanwhile, you may get the feeling that people around you are not in their most forthcoming space. Mercury, your opposite sign’s ruler, retrograde in Taurus, hardly seems like talkative partnership astrology. But what matters the most will be said. A great deal is developing behind the scenes. What seems to count more than anything is that you get your international travel plans in order. Think big, and think dangerously.
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.
Grazie, Paolo! Long time since I’ve heard ELP!
Yes, I’ve heard of the women confused by nice guys thing, as if being ignored by a guy (the he didn’t call me thing), or being mistreated, is expected, desired, and/or a more attractive character trait. Eh, they’re just the wrong women. And I think you have the right idea. Be open to it happening, but not pushing too hard for it to happen. Things tend to evade us the harder we try, it seems.
hey Dawn, a little mercury retro moment you may like:

Dawn, Tu sei molto gentile. I asked my friend if I need to change anything the way I am. She said “You are a tall loveable lion with too much heart and not enough teeth. Girls get freaked out around nice guys cause they don’t know what to do. If they push you away, trust me it has nothing to do with you.” This seems oddly self servicing to write this and frankly I’m still confused. Anyway, if I can’t figure it out, probably because it is not worth it. But I do hope a nice not freaked out woman shows up. I think that would be cool. For now it seems “A great deal is developing behind the scenes.”
Paolo, I’m sorry that dating has been fraught with difficulties for you.
I don’t know what it’s like for other generations than my own, tho the last time I dated, it was 1979 (egads), and I would not want to do it again!
Back then, anyway, if one was a young and pretty woman, all men wanted was sex, not love too, never mind even companionship or real friendship. Very disappointing.
There only ever was one man for me, and I understand that may not be true for everyone. But women not even willing to go on a date? I don’t understand the not trying/not giving the other person a chance.
Where do people even meet other people these days? My husband came built-in – he was my next younger brother’s best friend in high school, and I was a goner the second I met him! I don’t know, maybe mine was the last generation where that happened. I hope not.
I do hope Fate will deliver you a wonderful woman!
It is so lovely how this is so many times perfectly reflective. A desire to heal things I’ve had challenges with and people not being avail or forthcoming. No doubt, I am a patient guy and I am taking each moment with smiling. But when you ask a few girls out and all you get are silent treatments or glances that obviously make me think I’ve imagined a potential date when none were even a possibility, well, it is just a painfully beautiful space to reside in. It’s a mirror: my Leo nature is one that likes attention but then resents having no space from people. If a girl likes my attention, why does she then resent my asking her out? It’s a funny business. I would love to travel too! I’m am sure too Dawn that the Universe hears all my dearest wishes as they echo from my lips into a timeless space full of love and understanding. I am taken care of.
Thanks, Cara and Paolo!
If I could, I’d row a dinghy across the Atlantic! My adventurous spirit is usually thwarted by practicality. I’m the let’s take off and move to another country type. Hubby is the how will we live type. The universe provides, doors open, to which he looks at me funny, but at least he says, he’d have to see it first. So, my daring ideas are not written off!
It makes me giggle, but tho Italian, he has no grasp of the language. I Loved my 6 years of school French, and seem to take to Romance languages easily enough, so it would be me learning, then conversing with the locals, not him. Ciao Bella Italia!
yes, it is like heaven! I must go back. I hope you go Dawn!
Dawn, you must. The Lakes are amazing. That whole country is amazing. I’m adopting it as my second home 🙂

Funny this should come up.
Our 25th wedding anniversary is coming in December. We never got to have a honeymoon and only one real vacation in 27 years together – we tend to change our lives, instead of escaping on vacations, which we never could seem to afford, not with children to rear and educate (far past our education levels, naturally), and that large, antique house to restore and maintain – houses own you, but it’s a happy ownership, usually!
However, for quite some time, and discussed again, just the other evening, in another context, is my desire to take flight, and cross the Pond.
We were discussing what each would do if the other passed on. I’d go to Europe for a few months. A definite list of countries. Not just to escape the familiar, where he would then not be, but to engross myself in places that have called to me all my life, and maybe find something more about who I am and my purpose.
In the meantime, it is our dream to go to Lake Como for our anniversary. I don’t know how it will be funded, but surely the Universe will help, as it knows our hearts’ desire.
