Astrology Today: The Oracle for Wednesday, Feb. 17, 2010

Today’s Oracle takes us back to the Taurus monthly of May 1, 2000

The Oracle.

In your caution, reserve and well-cultivated sense of husbandry, do you not grossly underestimate your potential? It’s true that Taurans have been among our most important teachers of how to be safe in the cruel world (it was, indeed, my Taurus therapist who taught me to keep a coffee can full of money under the bed). Yet there are vast reaches of what I can only describe as immobile potential that gather inside of you like silent hurricanes. Now is not merely a convenient time for you to bring more of what you are into expression in the world; for you, it’s an aspect of survival that may involve what feels like tremendous risk. Yet what exactly are you risking? And what are you now preserving? Potential is a neutral state of existence, subject to decay. Expression is an active, living experiment; true, it’s subject to failure, but at this rare and astonishing moment, you stand only to gain, if only you will dare.

  1. Be – Yes, one and the same! I finally managed to find a way to log in with my name…

    Thank you too for encouragement – very much appreciated here. Don’t worry, recent posts would not shed light on the plight! It’s one of these long, drawn out affairs that started at birth. Nowt new, as they say. Doing good.

    Love to you.

  2. HazelF,

    Thanks for quoting Churchill; some advice we all will need at some time. I’ve been unable to read the recent articles and responses here so am unfamiliar with your plight, but want to add my encouragement to that of mystes’.

    Are you the same Hazel that used to go by a different “login?” If so, thank you for your kind words to me a week or so ago. Very timely and appreciated!

  3. Ah Mysti – bless you. I’m really doing good. All flowing along. I had just been reading ‘The Making of Modern Britain’ and found that quote in it, which made me laugh out loud. I like it. Not that it hasn’t been an arduous time of course…

    And I read your post about the ex, the vaccine and the beloved son and thought – how on earth do you handle that? But of course, if anyone will know, you will.

    I’m appreciative of the New Thinkers idea and have already started to make inroads there. And I really agree with the comments E made this morning about the teaching as a means to learn, as that is the role I’m taking (have taken) – so the two things are likely to come together.

    I am embracing any love and clarity you can send my way and sending a return parcel in the process. xx

  4. Hang in there, Hazel. I woke up thinking about how dogged we have to be about bringing these new forms into being. As long as you can draw the next breath you don’t qualify for the Epic (or Lyric) Fail button.

    There’s something to developing a consortium of New Thinkers in your area, and bringing them under the same roof every 10 days or so. (I have a thing about the French Revolution’s decajour). Not just for cheerleading, but to get and give help with walking all the way around the idea to see what you can’t from the ‘creator’s’ position.

    Sending you love and clarity,

    M
