Today’s Oracle takes us to the Aries monthly for May 1, 2005
To a great extent, language is the means by which we define our reality. Be careful of what words you use around young Aries people this month, because they are not just listening; they are making decisions based on what they hear. The way you say things sets limits, or opens the way past limits. Listen carefully to the particular way they express themselves if you really want to know what is going on. There will be clues in their choice of words, tone of voice, and the way that their ideas and arguments are structured. Good reading material would make an excellent gift.
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.
When I Consider How My Light Is Spent
When I consider how my light is spent,
Ere half my days in this dark world and wide,
And that one talent which is death to hide
Lodged with me useless, though my soul more bent
To serve therewith my Maker, and present
My true account, lest He returning chide;
“Doth God exact day-labor, light denied?”
I fondly ask. But Patience, to prevent
That murmur, soon replies, “God doth not need
Either man’s work or His own gifts. Who best
Bear His mild yoke, they serve Him best. His state
Is kingly: thousands at His bidding speed,
And post o’er land and ocean without rest;
They also serve who only stand and wait.
John Milton
