When you work with the Astrology Oracle, you need space, peace, time and total focus. What you are actually doing, when you open yourself up to this parallel universe, is letting your mind wander into the future. The future is a reality. It is already coming towards us, based on where we just were – and where we are heading now. When you use the Oracle you let your mind race ahead faster than the speed of light. You report back to yourself from the future.
The questions are really important! I often see questions from people who are obsessively in love and are desperate to know if it’s ever going to work out with the person in question, or if they have a future (if they are together).
Spend just as much time exploring and appreciating your ‘now’ cards as you do, racing towards the future.
If the present is not being powerfully, accurately and richly described by the cards, please restart the process, or if it does not work a couple of times – come back later.
Try to ask constructive questions which will help you, rather than racing to an outcome.
The Astrology Oracle can assist you with it’s unique, specific solutions for problem solving and crisis management. The question to ask is ‘What is the point of this situation?’ Or perhaps ‘Why am I being put through this situation?’ You might also ask ‘What is the higher purpose of this problem in my life?’ When you ask these types of questions you can open the door to a new pathway of possibility, triggered by the answer your receive. Look up the symbol card and the house card and line up the keywords (written by the description on the cards). The guidance you need will come when you spot something from each key word list that really hits home. That immediately and powerfully makes sense.
If you want to use The Astrology Oracle like a pro psychic, the first thing you have to do, is drop your longing for a firm ‘yes or no’ answer. By that I mean, questions like ‘Is he coming back to me?’ Other common questions, and quite understandably so, might be, ‘Will I get the job?’ Another mistake first-time oracle or Tarot readers make is to look for a time (‘When will I meet my husband’). In order to get the most from The Astrology Oracle, begin with the present – from the point of view of all the participants in the situation. This is usually just one other person, so I will use that as an example.
My client Nell wants to know if she will have a serious relationship with Paulo, the man she recently met. She is even curious about marriage despite the fact that he has a girlfriend! So the first questions must be ‘Where is he at?’ and also ‘Where is she at?’
If our lives are like newspapers, what are the headlines for Nell and Paulo right now? You can use this technique for yourself as well no matter if your question is about love, work, money, health or anything else.
What are the headlines in Nell’s life now?
Mercury and Sixth House – The Oracle says, it’s all about the written and spoken word, the computer, the phone, the media, the internet – and in connection with work and Nell’s relationship with her body.
What are the headlines in Paolo’s life now?
Sun and Fourth House – The Oracle says, Paolo has his apartment, house, family, household, home town and/or homeland as the priority and there is a big spotlight on his people and his place.
If you can imagine time as a gigantic map, full of roads and hills (almost as if you were looking at your life from an aeroplane window) then it is possible to see Nell’s path and Paolo’s path converging. We know that Nell wants Paolo (despite the girlfriend!) so how will their paths cross again? What or who brings them together?
1. Read for the other person/s in the story too so you can see how all your paths are crossing.
2. Ditch any idea of definite yes or no answers – or specific times – as this map of time does not work like that.
3. Fix yourself in the present first and you will get a strong feeling for how the Oracle works.
4. See time as a map, like the ground laid out from an aeroplane window, and see how people cross paths.
5. To get what you want from a situation, make sure both/all participants are fed what they need. Go for win-win.
Don’t be surprised if you see Cupid turning up in your life when you draw this card. The cherub with the wings, bow and arrow has a funny way of making himself known. As you might expect this Astrology Oracle card is about desire. Cupid was the son of Venus and he could inflame longing and passion with just one arrow. At the same time Cupid was not immune to overwhelming lust and he fell hard for Psyche, who eventually became his wife. This card is not necessarily about love and sex at all, though when it is, the craving will be powerful. Cupid is just as much about desire in all its forms – wanting someone or something – and in the most potent way. It is often irrational. It is certainly sudden, with this card. It makes no sense. The quote ‘The heart wants what it wants’ is appropriate for Cupid. Is this about true love in every sense of the word? It can be.
IN DEPTH

Cupid, known to the Greeks as Eros (hidden in the word ‘erotic’) is the son of Venus. He is a symbol of overwhelming attraction. Using his bow and arrow, he aims, shoots and fires and powerful, short-term passion (for someone or something) results. Why short-term? Because his arrow wounds are not deep and heal within months. The desire is neither good nor bad – it’s the end results of the longing that matter. Cupid can bring disaster or pleasure.
MEANING
When he is not seen as a fat little cherub, Cupid is always painted or sculpted as a teenage boy. He is usually with his mother Venus, who was a wife and mother, but also a lover, who had many adulterous affairs. He was sent by Venus to trick Psyche into falling in love with a monster, using his bow and arrow while she slept. Instead, the arrow accidentally pierced Cupid, who fell for Psyche. Another version of this story involves her jealous sisters.
EXAMPLES
If Cupid turns up with the Seventh House card, this is intense, short-term, romantic passion.
If Cupid turns up with the Ninth House, the desire may be for a foreign place or person.
Cupid and the Fourth House card can describe infatuation with a house or apartment.
Cupid can be dangerous – lust led to veneral disease then – unprotected sex now can kill.
At its most harmless, Cupid is about deep longing. With a Tenth House card, it’s your job.

Bees – like Cupid, they sting, but are also associated with sweetness (honey).
The Tenth House is associated with Capricorn and Saturn in the natural zodiac. Capricorn is the mountain goat who climbs patiently to the top. The MC or Midheaven is also associated with the Tenth House and it describes the highest point you can reach in your life. The Tenth House card commonly turns up when there are issues about professional success and social mountaineering. Career achievements and an upward trajectory in the class system both fall into this category. Of course you define your own success in life. Every person has her or his definition of ‘making it’ and perhaps this has nothing to do with your job or social position and everything to do with a more personal quest. Either way the Tenth House describes what it takes to get ‘there’ from ‘here’ in this world. It is associated with hierarchies (climbing the mountain, being at the top, the lower orders, middle management and so on). Saturn was the most ambitious of all Roman gods.
