Today’s Oracle takes us to the Sagittarius weekly of Sept. 17, 1999
The mind plays many games. One that I see is possible for your mind to be playing with you involves a kind of struggle over whether you have the right to exist. This may sound strange, but it’s actually a fairly common affliction, and were it not for this, most people’s lives would be a lot closer to their inner wishes. What you’re likely to experience is an exaggerated, and temporary, form of this process, which may come in the form of extreme doubts about who you are, what you believe or the image you project into the world. All you need to do is notice, for these questions, when they arise, are likely to seem so ridiculous that they will answer themselves once and for all.
(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.)
Questions and answers in a different time and place from where they first occurred can indeed “seem so ridiculous that they will answer themselves once and for all” and sometimes that time and place is only a fleeting moment.
In using my written update (currently in process) to my father as a vehicle to transport me out of my past and into my future, I am currently contemplating many past situations and how I view them today. While many at their time were traumatic (and while now I cannot say they ever will be “ridiculous”) I can say that beyond a doubt, they are the past and well, the past is past.
The interesting thing I noted about so many of those past situations – so very very many – is that at the time they occurred or existed, THEY HAD NO NAME. And so names were put on me by others (“it’s your imagination”) and eventually, I learned to swallow my reality of what I experienced, take personal blame, and re-affirm that I wasn’t valuable as a human being. Then I’d move on -optimistically still searching for validation for existing.
Since those times most of those “things” and “situations” have been given NAMES. (Date Rape, for example). And with the naming comes recognition and power. When I saw this new pattern; that these things were real, I took hold of names whenever I could find them, I searched for names. And eventually learned to create names and claim my reality therefore my self-validation.
This oracle speaks of “games” and the right to exist. It also mentions process and answers. Somewhere along the way, (post Chiron discovery) we began to give our primary hurts names, and in them, healing answers; as to why we exist – with no doubt at all.
