Audacious and outrageous, that’s you. Cockier than Sid Vicious at a Sex Pistols’ concert in 1977. More confident than an astronaut shooting for the Moon, back in the 1960s. This Oracle answer is about aiming for the so-called impossible – and even getting away with it too.
If you are well-rehearsed, and have enough research under your belt, you can pull almost anything off – that is the message of this Oracle answer. What more conservative or unimaginative people describe as shocking, or unbelievable, or out of the bounds of possibility, may well become your greatest success.
Is this a good or a bad thing? It depends on your intentions, and the impact on others. If you want to set people free by showing them what they can accomplish, then that may be a good thing. If your intention is destructive, then be careful because you are about to unleash powerful negative energy.
In most cases this answer is about stunning the neighbours, raising the family’s eyebrows and amazing the cat. People never know that anything is possible until someone else tries it first. And on this occasion it happens to be you. The idea of getting away with something, is integral to this answer.
This period in your life is about trailblazing. Lighting the way for others so that they may follow in your path. There are two rewards for success here. The first is the achievement of a goal which some say is impossible. The other is the incredible soul satisfaction you achieve from testing yourself and winning.
This Oracle answer is about reaching for something bigger, better, more ambitious – and a lot less likely than your other achievements. There is a chance that you will fail so be aware of that. But if you rate glorious failure above anything else, even you will be prepared to go down in a blaze of glory.
Any feelings or thoughts which are deliberately concealed from other people represents taboo. Some people say ‘Don’t go there.’ Others simply banish the forbidden idea or emotion and concentrate on keeping life nice and civilised. Either way this Oracle answer is about what we cover up.
Inappropriate desire is a good example of this. So is raw jealousy or bitter rage – particularly in situations where people are supposed to behave politely. Any reactions which are deemed ugly, unwanted or undesirable (though of course, quite understandable) fall into this category.
If you draw this answer about the future, you are heading into a rather intense situation where a tremendous amount of subterfuge will be taking place. A lot of very basic, raw human emotion will be jammed down tightly under the floorboards. Thus the simmering atmosphere.
Beyond all this notion of taboo, there is a very real question about power. It may be the power of beauty. Of sexual attraction. Of popularity. Of success. But wherever there is power there is usually deep resentment (from those who don’t have it) and sometimes ruthless behaviour (by those who will do anything for it).
If we all gave in to our most fundamental human impulses – be they sexual, aggressive or Neanderthal in any other way – our world would collapse. So people go through the motions of doing or saying whatever is ‘correct’ and frantically trying to ignore or conceal the rest.
Interestingly, an all-or-nothing moment usually reveals these taboo issues. The point at which people clearly end up as top dogs, usually brings out the dog-eat-dog instincts of others. Once the primitive feelings are processed, though, the outcome is usually good – for everyone. Everybody can find their place.
Grace under pressure is something you may want to consider if this Oracle answer turns up as a reply about the future. After all, nobody particularly invites pressure into their lives! If you are happy to accept it as part of a much more important decision, though, then so be it. You can and will excel.
As an answer about the present or past, this reply is also easy to understand. It’s about courage during inner conflict. Sometimes there is outer conflict as well, which explains the internal tug-of- war. Under these conditions, your best and bravest qualities can emerge. Even true self-sacrifice.
There is usually a clear sense of being pulled in different directions when this Oracle answer appears. A good example may be forcing yourself to do the right thing, even when you secretly long to be somewhere else. Of course, grace under pressure can also be the making of you. A major encounter with yourself.
People are rightly full of admiration and sometimes even awe when they see examples of this kind of strength or conviction. It’s fair to say that these moments in our lives – full of noble intent and sheer bravery – are unforgettable, as well as inspiring. This is not about your ego though. And it never will be.
In fact, grace under pressure transcends the actual event, and you, and moves you into different territory altogether. You might call it an epic example of humanity at its best. That is not an exaggeration. This Oracle answer can only come up once in a while. It points to something special. A sacred moment.
If you’ve survived this chapter in your life then you and those who know about it will always remember it. And if is yet to come – and you are content to accept the challenge – it could be the making of you. Just bear in mind that the struggle has to be worth it. If you are to do battle with yourself, make sure the goal is justified.
