Today’s Oracle takes us to the Capricorn weekly for July 9, 2010
Shift into proactive mode. For the past few months you’ve been able to ease away from the feeling that you need to be six steps ahead of everyone, and you needed the rest. Now you’re back to a distinct need to be on top of your game. That means mapping out the chessboard, knowing who is who and where you stand with everyone, and seeing what options you have. As the next few weeks unfold, you will need to make a series of decisions, and they count. Indeed, you’ve made several choices the past year-and-a-half that didn’t quite count, and now you’re playing for keeps. But you’ve learned plenty, and you’re ready to apply that knowledge. Let me clue you in on one thing you may not be noticing: people — such as colleagues, bosses, clients, peers or whoever — respect you a lot more than you think. Step into that space and live like your life matters. It most surely does.

that’s very beautiful Nilou, thank you!
Daniel: ‘Failure’ is just one way of looking all the small steps it takes to realise a vision. It’s all learning, it’s all practice, it’s all good. ‘Failure’ is knowing the difference between what works and what doesn’t, and remembering the difference. Success is patting yourself on the back, saying ‘i’m doing my best, and my best is good for me, and good enough for me today’ – every day. To me, this is what self-love and self-nurturing looks like and feels like, and for me it’s what keeps filling the well. It’s what keeps me steady through the stormy weather. And the more steady i am in myself, the more steady i can be for others.
Yes, anyone who could fathom the emotional life of the Scorpio/Phoenix/Eagle i’m sure would make a lot of cash. Every time i think i know something of how the world is the view changes! That’s what my higher purpose is for: even if everything else changes 100 times a day, i know who i am in relation to that.
‘Live like your life matters. It most surely does.’
Y’know, I read yesterday that it’s so important for a Scorpio to get reassurances of emotional connections. I thought, well duh. But it’s a good thing, no? I mean, it’s like: why am I here if the other is not really there emotionally. It’s like a certain reality check. But today I asked myself, what would happen if that wasn’t necessary? What if I didn’t really need that? What if I just flowed along and let things just happen as they should? Why does my brain freak out at that? Why do I think that I’m an insecure guy for thinking in this new way? Why do I think that that approach makes me look like I don’t have confidence? My thinking is that I’ll get the ball rolling, I’ll have fun and be excited in sharing a part of me, but I’m gonna just hope that I really won’t have to effort anything. Just get out of the way, relax, stay cool. And that I should give up the need to be successful at this and to try and “get it right”. Because the opposite of success is failure and it can become easy to think of oneself as a failure in relationships. But I think in the context of relationships, it’s more like “growth” not failure. There are no answers, only growth.
Thank you so much for this, Eric, particularly for this, “people — such as colleagues, bosses, clients, peers or whoever — respect you a lot more than you think. Step into that space and live like your life matters. It most surely does”. I breathed a sigh of relief as I read it, something I need to tell myself of these days-.
Sounds great, Strawberry!
Hell, yes! I can’t even say how awesome it is to read this. So, so, SO looking forward to shifting gears! Who knows if I’ve learned enough to make intelligent decisions, but I am indeed ready to “step into that space.” By golly, that’s a beautiful idea to wake up to.
