Today’s Oracle takes us to the Taurus monthly for Sept .1, 2000

It would serve you well to consider what in your belief system is an idea based on tradition and teaching, and what is based on your own personal observations, discoveries and practical needs. Many of the decisions and opportunities presented to you this month will require just such analysis and little more — but more is contained this process than you may realize. It could require considerable meditation to discover aspects of your life and decision-making process that are influenced only by your direct experience rather than by ideas laminated and tattooed into your thoughts by everyone from your 9th grade track coach to your minister to your college professors. The question, in the end, is about who has authority over your mind, and hence, over your choices, though I will say this: Beware of sacrifice.
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.
