Today’s Oracle takes us back to the Virgo weekly of January 10, 2003
Self-control is not self-esteem. No form of control can substitute for actually feeling good about yourself, though our culture often equates the two. Beneath the impulse to control is a deeper issue, which may be an addiction to danger, which has as the other side of its coin an attachment to a particular image you’re trying to convey to the world (in order to protect you from some expected danger). One thing we can say about your current solar chart is that you now have the ability to see both sides of an issue, and to read what’s inscribed around the edge of the coin. There are certain facts about yourself that you now have little choice but to acknowledge. If you can do so gently and honestly, an old, painful split that you’ve been struggling with will finally begin to heal.
