Today’s Oracle takes us to the Cancer weekly for Oct. 9, 2009.
The question “What is a self?” is an old one, yet few people have answered it for themselves. If we ask what is a man or what is a woman, the answer is part biological fact and part social concept; a construction with no truth anywhere but in our minds — and thus open to interpretation. You’re at a point where it’s become necessary to let go of a model or concept of who you think you are. Yet it would be wise of you not to confuse this with who you actually are. The past can be a tyrant, all the more so because we tend to be out of contact with it, or discount its influence. There’s a way to deal with the past effectively: with total awareness. If you do that, you can trust that the choices you make now will indeed have the power to help you change your life.
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. And for your annual reading, check out Light Bridge.
