Today’s Oracle takes us to the Gemini monthly for Feb. 1, 2002.
As you read these words in late January or early February, Mercury is blowing past Earth in one of its thrice-annual retrogrades. As with events for Taurus, there are potent religious or spiritual (if you prefer) overtones here, but the framework is a more immediate revolution of your ideas about what you call ‘yourself’. This ‘yourself’ thing is misunderstood and entirely taken for granted by most people, and its potential almost always underestimated in vast ways. Remember those three concepts: misunderstanding, taking for granted and underestimating potential. Relating to what? To you! I am aware that you’ve been extremely preoccupied dealing with personal crises or getting out of pain and isolation for so long that down looks like up. But please, you’d better check both directions just to make sure you’re clear which is which.
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 2012 annual reading, you’ll find Revolution. Revelation. Reality Check.
“Remember those three concepts: misunderstanding, taking for granted and underestimating potential. Relating to what? To you!” Thank you so true!
Our journey is truly a process of reclaiming this truth and in coming closer to exploring and understanding this potential in every way. Well, as much as we can comprehend in this reality, anyway. I believe the rest is best accepted -as being held in beyond… Still, right now, as a universe our rightful gift is pulling us to discovering and connecting the dots.
“This ‘yourself’ thing is misunderstood and entirely taken for granted by most people, and its potential almost always underestimated in vast ways.”
Not to mention by ourselves. We can tend to think we’re much smaller than we actually are, because of the practical, rut-like experiences of everyday life. We can forget that the Universe will support the most expansive notions we can have for our lives. No-one wants to die a caged bird.
But, fortunately, constraints of the physical need not diminish flights of the spirit. In my mind’s and soul’s eye, I am a poet, a philosopher, a potter and a painter (something about the letter P), in addition to my current creative expressions. Despite an otherwise mundane or constricted life, one needs to hold this image of their total self in mind, in heart.
