Today’s Oracle takes us to the Libra monthly of Feb. 1, 1999
Risk is opportunity. Calculated risk is a way of taking chances with your eyes open, but of course, there is still always the potential for failure. Life would be quite boring otherwise. For LIBRA (Sep. 23-Oct. 22), this is the time to set your standards for joy, pleasure and using your creative power. The risk of desiring happiness is that you might not actually get to live as well as you want; the risk of using your creativity is that you don’t always have control over that which you bring in to the world (children are a good example of this, but ask any artist and they’ll tell you the same thing). The things we make also have the power to remake us, but that’s the chance you’ll have to take.
