Today’s Oracle takes us to the Sagittarius weekly for June 19, 2009
You are being called upon to give yourself totally not to any one relationship, but to every relationship. One of the big problems on our planet is that we live in a hierarchy of love. Some people are ‘more important’ than other people, and we can act in very strange ways because of this. The outcomes of this situation, however, prove the point that we really don’t know what role people have, and it’s fair to doubt that we have any discernment at all. Monday’s New Moon is calling on you to suspend all discernment and make sure that you are offering what you can to every situation you are in. I cannot tell you why, or how; I can only tell you what I am reading in the planets. You are a born humanitarian and you know it. This is not merely a dream.
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.
Nailed it!
” make sure that you are offering what you can to every situation you are in.”
Wow. I had a stunning experience of this just this morning. It’s kind of heart-rattling to offer that much to a supposedly “less important” relationship. But there are more than just the one avenue through which we “make” love. I’m willing to embrace the idea that the hierarchy in place only serves to diminish our capacity to create and live love.
Thank you, Daniel
beautiful poem Lizzy!

Lovely words too Nilou.
Yesterday I came across this exquisite poem, by Derek Walcott
Love After Love
The time will come
when, with elation
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror
and each will smile at the other’s welcome,
and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you
all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,
the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.
Derek Walcott
Love seeks only to express itself.
[sorry!]
Dear Oracle
I have to disagree with you on this one. Hey, we all have ‘off-days’.
I find that when things get tricky discernment is a useful tool. I use it to know where to put my faith and trust. I use it to remind myself that as i reach for a higher guidance, a higher guidance from within, it is available to me.
Love seeks only to expresses itself. It is not worldly stuff. It does not have goals and ambitions. Our small minds and big fears may call the name of ‘love’ as allies but what we call up then is not love. Priests and poets through the ages have spoken to us of love, but it is not easily translatable to words. I find these words comforting at this time.
Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in the perception of other people’s failings, but delights that there is another truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to strengthen, and to endure whatever comes.
