Astrology Today: The Oracle for Friday, March 11, 2011

Today’s Oracle takes us to the Aries weekly of Feb. 6, 2004

The Oracle.

Events are conspiring to bring out the child in you, and if they’re not, you’d better get some new events, because that child wants to leap and fly. Is it true that you had far more confidence decades ago, when you could barely read and had nobody to impress? The longer life goes on, the more of a tendency you may have to get hung up on the concept of “spiritual.” This is an ineffective substitute for a wide diversity of other human states, such as passionate, curious, driven and provoked. Little kids want direct knowledge of the world; they are not content with ideas about life. I strongly suggest you take their lead. You may think this requires confidence. In fact it will give you confidence.

(The Daily Oracle is a random selection from one of 10,000 Eric Francis horoscopes. New horoscopes by Eric are published weekly plus twice a month in Planet Waves Astrology News and Planet Waves Light. The Oracle itself is a divination tool available to subscribers to either of these services.)

  1. Oh my, oh my, this story has me wanting to give you and all of those little children serious hugs. ((( )))) x 10 . thank you for sharing, you’ve touched my heart!
    this has been quite the day, hasn’t it?
    I wish you peace and send lots of love….& encourage you to not stop trying..: )) your work & wisdom about it is seriously needed…

  2. Oh so sad……I, an old lady, was looking forward to this last week with the start of a kids workshop to lead them in making a regular newsletter ( telling the truth). Figured while they were caught up in the process of designing it, doing drawings etc, they would learn a little history/civics along the way, without really noticing………….
    I have been teaching kids art for 54 years, ( In my private studio) have heard many horror stories of how public school teachers had squelched beginning creative leanings.
    Haven’t taught for about 5 years since my son died…………was going to donate 3 computers, printers, scanners, full professional GD software, his & my older one……….
    had a volunteer who would donate a 4th computer come in, help set them up and connect them with a router, and same software on each.
    First; that was turned down because the school doesn’t have hardwired Internet connection. You don’t NEED THE INTERNET TO PRINT OUT A NEWSLETTER! ANd the reason those computers are obsolete IS the they DON”T connect to the Internet being, OS 8.5 & (9.0). ( although they could be joined to a MAC Tiger, laptop which all the 7th graders are given by the state.)
    Mon. 1st assignment; You are King/Queen of the World…draw a picture of YOUR WORLD as you want it to be.” ( With this I can assess the kid’s drawing skills and see what s/he is thinking to give a basis from which to proceed, preparing tailored lesson plans……Been doing it this way for awhile, with no problem.
    Of 8 kids only one used color. One boy wanted guns……..I repeated “can be any way you want it to be” HE WANTED GUNS, they’re “FUNNY”! Another boy drew chaos………
    {Little kids want direct knowledge of the world; they are not content with ideas about life. I strongly suggest you take their lead. }They were all too quiet/flatlined, joyless, emotionally……………THIS IS THEIR KNOWLEDGE of the world……….
    I don’t have a mirror to determine my dismayed reaction……..but I never got a chance to play! “Give me a child until he is 7 ” Catholic church. Works for Republicans too!
    I was in the incubator for mentally ill republican voters……….
    I had approached the community service agency as a VOLUNTEER, offering a
    sevice…..offered an hourly fee as such, for several weeks heard nothing, then was given 4 days notice of starting with no details, time # of kids age group, thrust into a dependent/child woman, position,
    ( I expected 7th 8th graders got 4th grade, I have taught many 6 year olds with good results .In fact I have enriched the lives of MANY kids through the years…….)
    And today I was fired for allowing the kids to draw guns………………………..
    WE HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM INTHIS COUNTRY.
    If I have any urge to be an activist, next time I will get a pink T shirt and join Code Pink. THEY know how to play.
    So I am going into my studio shut the door and play with my paints………….
