Today’s Oracle takes us to the Libra monthly for Sept. 9, 2008.
As the month progresses, you may feel like you’ve evolved from having it all together, to being scattered in a dozen pieces. If you’re wondering why, look at one particular relationship and the effect that it’s having on you. How much of your energy is going somewhere you don’t actually want it? Do you have any influence over whether this happens? I think you do — though you’re going to find the answer in a kind of introspection that is rare enough for any human. Along the way to getting there, I suggest you take notes on the ways in which you support others. You help some people in positive ways and other people in ways that are not so good for them. Note the difference, particularly how either variable makes you feel.
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.

Thanks Sarah. That makes sense, particularly in the context of self-relationship, and enabling patterns that no longer serve one’s greater good.
yup — another powerful oracle. i think i can see myself on both sides of this equation, actually.
Rob – what came to me was ‘enabling’. I see that as lapsing into old patterns of relating that, when connecting with someone else in that way, keeps us both stuck. I had a feeling of that recently – a strong sense of “I can’t give you what you think you need from me”, and I felt drained. I’m not saying that person drained me. Rather, their need hooked in to a part of me that, by childhood design, felt powerful when it was playing a parental role. Problem is, we’re both adults. 🙂
Another window and mirror, offering insight. One passage asks for clarity though–what does it mean to help people in ways that are not good for them?
