Today’s Oracle takes us to the Cancer monthly for Aug. 12, 2008

Intuitively, most of us know that masturbation is the core of sex, but do we believe it? We know that whether we love ourselves is the basis of loving others, and whether we trust ourselves is the foundation of whether we trust others. Yet we are taught to think of sex as being completely about ‘the other’, or in the alternate, we use the other for some measure of self-connection or gratification. But we’re never taught to nourish ourselves first so that we have something to share with others. A total eclipse of the Sun in your 2nd solar house (self-esteem, personal resources) is a reminder to make love to yourself before you make love to others. Really do it, and actually let your experiences be about love. You know you can.
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.
