43_LEAVING THE PAST BEHIND

LEAVING THE PAST BEHIND

There comes a point when it’s time to leave the past behind and forget about the relationships of the last few months – or years. This is about a solitary quest for something more – even though you may not know what that is yet. One thing is certain. None of your sexual encounters or partnerships have truly satisfied you.

One of the issues is that all of these liaisons have a sameness about them. In fact, the longer you are single – and the further you distance yourself from them – the more you will realise that you have been following a pattern. The fact that it’s not a pattern which has supplied what you want, is worth considering further.

There is no question of you returning to the last person you were with, or even reviving something with a long-gone ex. To do so would feel emotionally empty. There is also the issue of unresolved negative feelings. Thus, it might be more useful for you to take time out and sort out how to gain some closure.

At a certain point, if you are prepared to do so, you could come back to one or more of the people you have left behind and try to clean things up. If others are willing, and you are prepared to put considerable effort in, you could improve the situation you have left behind. It’s certainly one option for you.

When this Oracle answer appears, though, the main focus is on your personal journey, which means a total departure from the places and people you’ve known. What lies ahead is uncharted territory. It may be hard. It may be impossible. But you simply have to get away from who you were before.

That person was shaped by each of those relationships. Without them, you could discover you are something, or someone, quite different. Your main quest now, though, is to move beyond the emptiness. You’re looking for peace and emotional satisfaction. Even self-knowledge. It’s worth the search.

Present

45_THE INNER CHILD

THE INNER CHILD

When you receive this Oracle answer, your inner child is in charge of an important relationship. It can be fun to forget about adult complications and expectations and revert to a more simple, innocent way of life. If this connection is real – and there are no hidden agendas by your adult selves – it can feel great.

Assuming that neither of you has an ulterior motive, the trust, simplicity and affection between you could bring real happiness. To outsiders, what you two share could seem fun, charming, cute. More cynical people might suggest that you’re not living in the real world – but you’ll probably be oblivious to that.

Of course, if this is game-playing by two mature adults, it’s worth analysing why you two are playing let’s pretend. Or is just one of you setting up this rather childlike dynamic, so that the other is forced to follow suit? If one or both of you realise you are ignoring your real selves (and the real world) try to find out why.

There is something beautiful, promising and potential-packed about what is being given and received here. And it seems to bring as much soul satisfaction to the giver, as it does to the receiver. Be careful, though. Unless you two plant this gift somewhere solid, where it can grow, it may never deliver what it might.

Similarly, this phase of your relationship cannot last forever either. Sooner or later you will have to return to adult life. To stay in a child-child dynamic stunts your development, and may even begin to look quite odd to those around you. It certainly won’t help your development or growth.

And that’s the key to this whole answer. If you two want something special to grow – and if you want to be who you actually are (as well as who you could be) – you are going to have to drop the game. Don’t drop the precious possibilities at the same time. That would be a waste, and a shame. Try to protect them.

Future

44_CHOICES

CHOICES

This Oracle answer describes a variety of choices, none of them real. Some appear to lead to wealth, or success. Some seem to be pointing to dangerous people or situations. You may feel a mixture of fascination and fear. Most of all, though, you are likely to feel overwhelmed and rather hesitant.

The experience will show you what you want and need, and where your priorities lie. Nothing can actually happen, because everything lies in your imagination, your daydreams – or possibly your nightmares. Seeing the possibilities like this is useful, though. It allows you to turn the focus back on yourself.

You need to realise that you have reached a crossroads in your life where a lot more research is needed. Can you talk to people who have first-hand knowledge of the situations which tempt you so much, which mystify you – or which frighten you? Can you read more, or listen further, so that you are better informed?

Only then should you really start moving in the direction of one choice or another. Or even act on your fears. The point about this Oracle answer is that everything lies in your mind. What you are seeing isn’t actually there at all. It just reflects what you think might be possible. Thus, you need some facts.

Talking it through with people you respect and trust could make a real difference to the feeling of overwhelm, uncertainty or confusion. Try to see things from all angles, not just your own. It may be that the glittering prizes you see don’t exist at all. It could also be true that what (or who) confronts you is groundless.

It will help to allow time to pass before you make a decision. You need good judgment now – not the first reaction which grips you. You also need to find out if you are projecting your fantasies and fears onto people and situations which are frankly rather different. It’s a good time to look inward not outward.
