As part of my New Year inauguration, I’ve hit every horoscope I could get my Pixie mitts on. This one in the eOmega newsletter by Eric Francis, though, was all new to me. Twas love at first line:
IF YOU TELL yourself the truth, you can do just about anything else you want. That is the price you will have to pay in order to go to the next level or stage of your life; the price of freedom. This is a small tariff for some people, and the highest there is for others. Which is it for you? While you’re sizing that up, you can also size up the price of any other way of living, and there are several options, to be sure. Of course, the real price of the truth is that which is not true. For some people that is no price at all; for others, it would represent the collapse of their entire existence, at least psychologically. Now, as a Pisces, you need your fantasies, and you need your dreams. But you need them in moderation, like any drug or substance (including art and music) that provides a pathway beyond the rational world. Yet what you need the most, if astrology means anything, is to break the partitions that separate your visions for your life — and for the world — from your simple desire to make them happen. It’s like you typically get stuck right at the point where you can take something out into the world where it can do some good. You know what you create is worthy of attention and that it would be good for the world. You also know how hard it is to penetrate into that space where the past is not so heavy that it crushes or confines that which is new and seeking to take root and grow. Now, believe it or not (and I don’t blame you if you don’t, yet) you are about to see what kind of impact is possible, particularly where the stalwart structures of society need a little…shall we say…encouragement to update their files. Society can mean your friends, your family, your professional vision and most of all, your personal vision for how you will fit into the world. There is an extremely good reason you must be honest with yourself at every opportunity: you will be handling power that can be.
It seems I must come completely clean to keep leaping, lads & lasses. Thanks to God & my dear friend, Sarah, today’s truth is this: I need not be so shy to share my cancer answers. Like it or not, it’s part of my path & my happy ending’s a good one for others who might (will!) be inspired by it. It’s not always an easy thing for me to do & I can eschew the topic like nobody’s business. Cancertown’s certainly not a place I want to live anymore. But I can’t & shouldn’t ever forget the life lessons or act as if I (l)earned them any other way.
From seeing others speak, I know nothing’s more effective than a heartfelt tale & it’s time to take this one on the road. The way will become clear & the words will flow when I need them. It sounds so strange to say but the shit writes itself, it really does. Last night, I got the message loud & clear about where & when & what to talk about first, including the starting sentence. I’ll keep you posted on my first public appearance.
