Today’s Oracle takes us to the Capricorn weekly for Oct. 15, 1999
If I have been doing my job for you, my commentaries of recent weeks have addressed the nature of fear. We must be ever-mindful of the extent to which so many of the fears on which we spend so much of our precious time and life energy are utterly baseless.
Together, if you imagine so many afraid people walking the planet, you can see fear as a force that drains away the collective light of humanity into an abyss of darkness.
And yet fear is so difficult to master, even for the wise. In the coming two weeks, you will have the opportunity to make rare observations and learn vital lessons on this important matter; that is, you will learn some very important pointers about how to be free.

The ‘succumb’ bit was more for me than for you, dear Carrie! Sounds like you’re dealing with it fine.
Carrie – as the mystic writer and teacher Carolyn Myss said – when something is dying (or has ‘died’) in your life, it’s because you don’t need it any more – you’ve moved on. Am sure that only great good can come of this. Lots of luck and love with it. There’s some mighty powerful astrology out there in these days – feel that the best thing is to succumb to it. xxx
Well, Dave came home and said they said they will not renew his contract for next year. I am so happy because now he doesn’t have to do all that training all summer and he won’t be working in that toxic environment.
The freefall is scary and the plan B will mean tightening our already super tight belts financially but Dave’s emotional well being is very worth it. The kids all agreed about that too.
Who knows, this might mean a door will open somewhere else better!
Thanks dearest Carrie! Really felt that hug – much needed. Thanks xxx
{{{{Huffy}}}} Hang in there ok?
And there’s a kind of time warp on this blog page today, too! (solar flares, anyone?).
Thanks, Carrie! The blackmail about having to do the training course in order to get another contract is so unpleasant. And that principal sounds like a nasty piece of work. Will be good for your husband to get out of there.
I’ve just had another fast one thrown at me from work again. Just when I manage to draw breath, regain my balance – they chuck another one at me. But I’m still standing and I’m getting the fuck out as soon as I can. Something weird is going on – it all seems out of sync. Has to be the current astrology. I’ve got my crash helmet and seat belt on for this ride (and maybe a baseball bat too).
Just so you know, he hasn’t been let go; it was just as a reference as to why he wants to leave (among the other issues). His contract ends this week (all the teachers’ contracts end because the school year ends Friday).
They are talking about that training and saying it will be done with a short-term, temp contract for the weeks they want them. They are hinting that anyone not taking it will not be considered for a contract next year. The principal that is causing all the trouble has family members (clan) on the school board and she rules with threats and intimidation.
So he really doesn’t want to go back and as I have a good plan B in place (though it will mean very hard tightening of our financial belts) I would rather (and the kids agreed with me) have him not do another year there even if they did offer him another contract. Why should he suffer more daily humiliation and disrespectful treatment if we can keep him from having to?
That’s how I see it anyway.
Thanks, Huffy. And right back at you (the good luck and compliments parts).
Played well Eric, this is exactly the sensation that I felt today “fear” after listening to a video shock on blog TV Lilou with Pierre Jovannovic that should be known in America for interview of many public personalities. And just after the publication of my article on Venus March and 3 successive squares that will suffer. It is the last in September which will be the effect of boomerang. Influence will extend to 6 months… it did not out of the monetary crisis…
I really feel for your husband, dear Carrie. It sounds to me like your ‘leap of faith’ is absolutely right. It’s kind of what is happening to me right now with my work situation. One takes all the crap because one’s terrified of getting the chop – but I think the minute you have the courage to stand up for yourself and say fuck it – I’m not taking this crap any more, I’m tired of being afraid – the rules change, and that’s when you open the door to other possibilities coming along. And it’s difficult, cos it really does take a leap of faith. But I know he’ll do it – with a fantastic woman like you by his side. Good luck, keep us posted!
My husband has been teaching on the rez for two years. We found out that they don’t have to pay unemployment if they let teachers go. They treat him like crap because he is a white male.
He has put in applications to two other districts which are the same distance away or farther (he drives 100 miles round trip a day for this rez job). They have not called him for an interview…yet….but that may just be because they are still gathering applications.
His current school on the rez has had a rumor (he has not been officially notified yet) that they want all the teachers to start coming in for curriculum mapping and other curriculum training the week after school ends, then training in Denver for a week then several more weeks of training. It would mean having only two weeks off (two weeks of not driving 100 miles a day). They would pay the teachers for their time.
He is 59, burned out after a year with kids, parents, and admin treating him like crap. He doesn’t want to continue waking up at 5 AM and driving with no guaranteed contract. The rumor is that if these teachers don’t do the training; they will not be offered a contract yet this school has a very hard time getting teachers at all.
I have a plan in place if he isn’t offered a contract which would assure our ability to support ourselves and keep the bills paid so if they don’t offer him one we would survive with him subbing (until or unless another district hires him). We would be dirt poor but we have been that before.
My question is this: should he do the training (despite not having been notified via official e-mail or mail or phone channels from the admin) all summer and hope they give him a contract or should he not go, keep working on getting a job elsewhere and trust the universe that a door will open up elsewhere?
I have said the latter because I can see how demoralized he is feeling right now and how much he needs a break from the oppressive attitudes he has been dealing with all year. I love him and know he deserves better. The former is based on fear; fear that he won’t be offered a contract. The latter is based on trust; trust that we will be ok without his having to suffer the whole summer.
I told him to do the latter; stay home and relax, refuel his emotional self, focus on getting a teaching job at another district and flow with things. I hope I am right about this. It feels like it is right even though this is a leap of faith for me. But then, my astrology teacher told me that my karma this life is to learn to Trust the Universe to take care of me. I am finally listening.
Yep, this is just what is needed. Abandoning hope as we speak…
