Today’s Oracle takes us to the Leo weekly for Nov. 23, 2007

The Sun’s movement into your empathic fire sign Sagittarius has taken some of the pressure off of your psyche, and given you the feeling that you’ve finally got beyond the daring, dangerous beginning and are now approaching the middle. The main thing you need to do is give your doubts a rest — and you have plenty of them. You could do that trick of doubting your doubts; it works well for some people. You could also do an audit of the available information you’re working with; some of it is good, some of it is useless. But mostly you need to open up some space within your sense of limitation and at least spread out your camping gear, your art supplies or your guitars. You may not at this time in your life be able to visit the Great Pyramid, but within the world you occupy you have some extraordinary freedoms, and more on the horizon.
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.

I was just thinking this last night, after helping others all day, every day, and not having any time for creating in far too long, eh, which is why I’m here in the first place, I see that, although I have a strong defend the underdog, help the helpless, bring all loved ones into the same light I am in thing going on, this work is serious, it’s joyless, as it deals with pain and suffering.
And though I am a good communicator, communicating has always exhausted me, taking far too large a toll, on psyche, emotions and body. And not just my talking or writing to others, but listening to and processing others’ words. Limitations of being a creative introvert.
I need to find a way to create balance in my life – not easy when I need to squeeze an entire day’s work into less hours most people have, as I still need to tend my own health.
I’ve always said, it, there needs to be at least 2 of me, for all I need to/want to do, because, after all I’ve been through, I cannot just get on with my life, as it was before. I feel a personal responsibility to others to help them heal, as well.
Responsibility – the be all and end all of my life. And what a joy sucker it is, when all I’ve ever wanted, was to be a free and happy flower.
But who does that help?
