Hello Cosmic Confidential Visitor. One of the things we’re doing here on the Cosmic Confidential daily blog is selecting horoscopes from the past and letting them see the sunshine. Given all the internal stress we’re feeling with the current astrology and Eric’s potter’s wheel analogy in today’s issue of Astrology News, I thought I’d see what else Eric has said about clay and the self-creative process we’re in, however uncomfortable it may be.

The creative process is not arts and crafts. Rather, it’s about everything from doubt to confronting your sense of emptiness to exploring the feelings and memories that we are basically all conditioned to ignore. In sum, you go deeper, and that depth often requires the use of a working medium that could be clay and it could be a camera and it could be your notebook. Let it become a sacred space, but not so sacred that you fear that what you create there will be known to others and influence their healing process. You’re not alone in going through what you’re experiencing. The feelings running through your body are part of a collective current shared by millions of other people, each in their unique way, and each equally meaningful.

One of the things we’re doing here on the Cosmic Confidential daily blog is selecting horoscopes from the past and letting them see the sunshine. Often I use current astrology to guide my choice of a theme to highlight with these selections, but today I let my mood guide me — admittedly, it was not the most positive or productive mood. As you’ll see, this Leo horoscope from 2000 really answers the call with an attitude check — Eric-style.

A door into your life keeps opening and closing. Or rather, it opens and somebody comes in, and you kick them out and/or close and lock the door. You may not think you’re doing this, but so it goes. Orchestrating, enumerating or dictating reality are just poor methods for preventing others from consciously having a real impact on you, or overwhelming you. Coming up with scores of reasons why you cannot trust, and then, with your responses, making those reasons real, is only keeping you in isolation from what you really want inside. In order to trust, you will have to use your intuition, and remember that trusting is itself an act of trust. But I am here to tell you that that doorbell is about to ring again, there’s very likely to be somebody really there, and the door’s hinges are working and the knob turns. If you don’t use that door, it could be a while before it works so well again.
