Today’s Oracle takes us to the Birthday weekly for Jan 27, 2006

Happy Birthday Aquarius! You’ve never been one to hold back, but you’ve reached a time in your life when you not only must say what you mean, but when you will profit substantially by doing so. Most people try to go halfway, which only delivers half of the message. You need to go for the whole pineapple. While I would not suggest you be diplomatic — which means two-faced — I would say that a bit of style and originality will go a long way for you. But strive to be real and the rest will come naturally.
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.
“While I would not suggest you be diplomatic — which means two-faced — I would say that a bit of style and originality will go a long way for you.”
Not sure where and when diplomacy got a bad rap. The ’60’s?
It is not the same as being two-faced. It is being tactful, which involves getting your point across, without beating the other person about the head with it. It’s a method of expressing dissent or disapproval, without burning bridges and (unnecessarily) creating enemies.
Otherwise, we *say it like it is*, and *let it all hang out* with no regard for the other person’s feelings and our (ongoing) relationship to that person/group/nation.
I’d say it takes quite a bit of style and originality to be diplomatic.
