Today’s Oracle takes us to the Scorpio weekly for May 7, 1999.
Emotionally and psychologically, you’ve experienced some kind of shift recently that warrants careful observation. It has to do with the ways in which you relate to your fears, and the peculiar way in which that which is unknown is usually considered to be negative. Watch a tendency to expect everything you can’t control to work out against you; it’s not true. the best thing you can do for yourself right now is remember that you need not fear what you feared in the past, and know that new problems will require new solutions — but only as the problems arise, not as you imagine them.
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.
yep, another perfectly-timed oracle…
and it kinda makes me think of this gorgeous song.

This one I’ll stick on my wall. Thanks so much, dear Eric.
“remember that you need not fear what you feared in the past, and know that new problems will require new solutions”
I wonder if this has to do with a deep fear I have of relationships. When I was a kid, I was a loner. In high school, more popular, but still a tad aloof. When I got close to someone, I was hyper sensitive to a line that we would cross, after which it would be very painful to back away from. I valued/resented my independence. I both hated crowds and wanted to be among people. My fear of giving something up made me refuse giving something a try. I simply didn’t know how to maintain my independence without feeling badly for it. Guilt wrapped in fear. For many years, I was better off alone, I guess until I figured this out.
Now, I’m a completely different man. And yet I still find myself closing up and off, rushing to protect that young boy, put my arm around that young teenager – to say “tackle these problems only as they arise, not as you imagine them.”
“The best thing you can do for yourself right now is remember that you need not fear what you feared in the past”
You nailed it on the head Oracle. Thanks for the reminder and the most perfect time.
“Watch a tendency to expect everything you can’t control to work out against you; it’s not true.”
Just what I was reminding hubby of yesterday, as he got a bit disgruntled about what appears to be a slow response from someone interested in my work. Musn’t presume we know what’s going on (which is outside our control), and even if nothing comes from the connection/interest, that’s fine too.
I’ve been rereading Linda Goodman’s “Star Signs”. My copy SO used, the spine is broken and the book long segmented. Leos not only need to express themselves openly and creatively, but must be respected and appreciated, or we won’t be worth a nickel to ourselves or anyone else. Which is surely part of my emotional withdrawal from my work of the past 20 years – a lack of monetary appreciation, at least in the form my work took. The iMac dying was just the instigating event.
So, no struggle. No emotion about any outcome. Though, surely if I felt drawn enough to this potential opportunity, I *could* bring it into manifestation, so the slowness of it coming may well be because I’m not pulling it towards me, as I’ve emotionally detached from/ambivalent about expecting this particular work to produce any real fruit.
Looks like I need to dig into my feelings to see if this is what I want to give my energy and attention to, or do I want to throw out the baby with the bath water. I would have yearned for this opportunity not 6 months ago….
