Today’s Oracle takes us to the Libra monthly for April 18, 2005
Certain factors in your chart are pulling you into experiences of relationships with rather potent and irresistible force. You may feel like your ‘self’, or who you thought of as yourself, is getting blown to bits by the process. That works well because your current personal growth project is all about releasing who you were, and it seems like the place to give up those patterns is in the presence of someone else.
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.
oops – Hazel1 🙂
Thank you, Hazel
Tonight my meditation shall be – I feel, I trust, I feel, I trust, I feel, I trust….

That is beautiful, Suria. Just in keeping with things for me, though my adventure with this particular person is at an end, or maybe a crossroads, or maybe a sharp turn, or maybe……or maybe………maybe maybe not. Too many maybes out in the fields of my little brain, floating their fluffy dandelion seeds out, maybe grow, maybe get eaten by ants, who knows. Maybe a wind takes the seeds someplace good. Didn’t mean to make you cry, Strawberry, unless it’s from releasing a weight and feeling freedom pour through your soul. Take care of you, both/all of you.
Thank you, Hazel, that makes me cry! (and cry….)
Nilou, I thank you, once again.
Looking more closely to the astrology, I see that Mars will be precisely conjoined my Juno (speaking your needs & desires in relationship) as the two of them square this (bold, initiative-taking) Jan 1 New Moon. Then, a week later as the Sun & Moon hit their opening square (which Len says is about taking initial steps), Mars will be precisely conjoined my Uranus (radical individualism), with the two of them squaring Jupiter (growth & expansion).
Since squares are about taking action to resolve tension, and as my Juno & Uranus are a couple of pretty hot-tempered bedfellows looking for love & balance in Libra, this looks to be a powerful first week of 2014 for me. Or, as Len suggests, a good time to “take a cue from the cycles of astrology and pick an auspicious moment to bring those cycles down to Earth as part of your life.”
And it all starts with speaking my needs without compromise or self-judgment. I can do that. Let the momentum take it where it may.
Blessings & gratitude to each and all of you.
Little bird asked me to sing this out for one and all, and I said, “Why me?” and little bird said, “Because you can, and it makes your light shine”. – oh!
my gift to you is my gift to me
a release of all the forms of dreams long passed.
they were not mine you know.
to show up
open hearted
willing
secretless
passionate as I am
with all my humours
to find out if you would care
to accompany me, for a while
on this adventure.
for I have always loved an adventure.
Hugs right back to you, Suria!
Go Strawberry, GO!!! I’m with you! You won’t fall!
…late to the party, but I just saw this: “Breathe and DO something. Forgive the time it has taken and do what you came here to do. You probably won’t starve. And even if you do, that is better than being the walking dead.”
Having taken a tentative step toward a freedom I’ve long been afraid of, I stepped into the shower this morning — and in the steam on the window glass, saw the image of a little bird perched on a twig, looking out at all it was about to encounter. As the rest of the glass spattered with water, that bird stood resolute, looking to me, asking when we were going to take flight.
Daniel, thank you.
I’ve been sorting papers this afternoon and it has just been one laugh after another. I found a note from before I knew what an ephemeris was beside part of an ‘oracle’ about vulnerability. My margin note says ‘maybe I should go to mars – that should be out of the danger zone’.
What!??!! Multi-splendored ignorance! I’m gonna keep it. lol. Thanks Eric!
Hugs to you, Hazel1!
Suria – I saw Earth Wind and Fire in concert years ago and wondered the same thing – where’s the Water? I didn’t know all the lyrics to that song either, I’m one of those people who thinks they know and gets odd looks when I sing what I think the words are and it makes people laugh.
love it nilou! 🙂
I have to share this moment. Toooo funny.
Earth, Wind and Fire: Fantasy
First thought: Where’s the water?
Second thought: Who changed the lyrics, I’m sure they’ve changed…..
Every man has a place
In his heart there’s a space
And the world can’t erase his fantasies
Take a ride in the sky
On our ship, fantasize
All your dreams will come true right away
And we will live together
Until the twelfth of never
Our voices will ring forever, as one
Every thought is a dream
Rushing by in a stream
Bringing life to the kingdom of doing
Take a ride in the sky
On our ship, fantasize
All your dreams will come true miles away
Our voices will ring together
Until the twelfth of never
We all will live love forever, as one
Come to see victory
In a land called fantasy
Loving life, a new degree
Bring your mind to everlasting liberty
As one, come to see victory
In a land called fantasy
Loving life for you and me
To behold, to your soul is ecstasy
You will find other kind
That has been in search of you
Many lives has brought you to
Recognize, it’s your life now in review
And as you stay for the play
Fantasy has in store for you
A glowing light will see you through
It’s your day, shining day
All your dreams come true
As you glide in your stride
With the wind as you fly away
Give a smile from your lips and say
I’m free, yes I’m free, now I’m on my way
Come to see victory
In a land called fantasy
Loving life for you and me
To behold, to your soul is ecstasy
You will find other kind
That has been in search of you
Many lives has brought you to
Recognize, it’s your life now in review
Grand thanks to all. Enjoy!

ps. I had a dream last night that I was in my old bedroom. Quite a small room it was, cramped with a bed, piano, composing desk, and a shrine. Now that room was completely empty. The only thing there was my large wall hanging of my protector yidham. I had just moved out so my old clothes were still in the closet waiting to be moved as well. The room was very clean. I was sad at this witnessing of a moment of my life passing away.
Interesting…
nilou, you are such a beautiful person. Thank you.
Hazel1, thank you so much as well, you’re so right! And not alone.
Thank you Eric, Daniel and Suria. We’re all experiencing this work and change.
“Forgive the time it has taken to do what you came here to do”, “translating psychic gowth into a relationship with another person” even when that other person isn’t here yet and how scary it is to contemplate doing it alone, realizing I’m not doing it alone. Thank you!
Hey, Daniel!
Love to you both on your travelling, and may your witnessing be full of joy. Fear is a flimsy wall – just keep on walking through it. We are always in all ways together as inhabitants of this orbit! Peace, love and healing to us all. nilou
Thanks for sharing your passion suria! You are very correct in your first paragraph. I don’t feel a separation between what you and Eric are describing. Obviously, this is extracted from a particular transit and the astrology interpreted likewise. But, on a general level, I can tell you from my experience that I have had many years of internal work both on the integration and release processes. That was/is good and important work. There is a vital next step and that has very much to do with translating that psychic growth into an experience with another person. I thought there wouldn’t be any issues. I came up against a plethora of discomforts that I never in a million years anticipated. Something I wanted so deeply became such a topic of anxiety. To be challenged on such an intimate level, to actually experience a deep sharing, to see how I was reacting and trying to regain control, and to try to understand what was happening to me. And to think that there wasn’t a soul on this planet who could help me make a transition was a very lonely and scary prospect. So, sometimes there is work we do alone and sometimes we need to do this work with someone. Even when I was a monk praying to my guru and having all my shit mirrored back at me was the greatest growth. Now, I’m lucky to be with someone who cares enough to stay while I get my bearings. But this is still my work – and I told her that. And a Sagittarius at that. Who knew?! 😉
Thank you for this, Oracle
If the purpose of healing is integration of all the parts of the self – body, mind, spirit, soul, what exactly is the presence of another for? We witness each others journey, in love, for it furthers to do so. The release of patterns is an internal process, that cannot be witnessed – so I think you are wrong. Very wrong. Dangerously wrong.
How can there be any kind of truth without integrity? What exactly does truth to power mean? How can trust exist without consensus? How can community be built with conflicting values? How can we see with our eyes closed? Why would we not see with our eyes open? What will it take? Where is the limit? What is the point? It’s the Aries Point. Walking over the shattered pieces of our friends and pretending we don’t recognise their pain. Well, I have a problem. I cannot do that because I feel it. Yes, your pain is my pain, and when you hide it from yourself you are not only hurting yourself, you are hurting me too. Lose-Lose. We all lose and the shit-game continues. No wonder I smell purple petals. What will it take. Look within. Look within. Breathe and DO something. Forgive the time it has taken and do what you came here to do. You probably won’t starve. And even if you do, that is better than being the walking dead. There really is more to life than good copy and high reader counts.
