TAURUS

Fiercely determined to carry on your daily rituals of running the machinery of life, you march along attending to your tasks, daring anyone to dare say you aren’t busy. Truth is, however, it’s not just little rebellions and deviations you need. Somehow you have to find a satisfactory balance between the drudgery of life that keeps you in control, and the search for something greater–if such a thing exists.

GEMINI

Running away and changing your name is an option, even though you know you have to stick around, deepen relationships and develop any raw talent you may have. Mercury is going retrograde again, so you can hereby claim the formal right to be noncommital, talk out of two sides of your mouth, avoid a final decision whether to run or not until such time as you are goddamned good and ready

Osho Zen Tarot 53. The Dream

Try Again

---

The Dream

This has been said again and again, down through the ages. All the
religious people have been saying this: "We come alone into this world,
we go alone." All togetherness is illusory. The very idea of
togetherness arises because we are alone, and the aloneness hurts. We
want to drown our aloneness in relationship.... That's why we become so
much involved in love. Try to see the point. Ordinarily you think you
have fallen in love with a woman or with a man because she is
beautiful, he is beautiful. That is not the truth. The truth is just
the opposite: you have fallen in love because you cannot be alone. You
were going to fall. You were going to avoid yourself somehow or other.
And there are people who don't fall in love with women or men--then
they fall in love with money. They start moving into money or into a
power trip, they become politicians. That too is avoiding your
aloneness. If you watch man, if you watch yourself deeply, you will be
surprised--all your activities can be reduced to one single source. The
source is that you are afraid of your aloneness. Everything else is
just an excuse. The real cause is that you find yourself very alone.

Osho Take it Easy, Volume 2 Chapter 1

Commentary:

Some enchanted evening you're going to meet your soulmate, the
perfect person who will meet all your needs and fulfill all your
dreams. Right? Wrong! This fantasy that songwriters and poets are so
fond of perpetuating has its roots in memories of the womb, where we
were so secure and "at one" with our mothers; it's no wonder we have
hankered to return to that place all our lives. But, to put it quite
brutally, it is a childish dream. And it's amazing we hang on to it so
stubbornly in the face of reality. Nobody, whether it's your current
mate or some dreamed-of partner in the future, has any obligation to
deliver your happiness on a platter--nor could they even if they wanted
to. Real love comes not from trying to solve our neediness by depending
on another, but by developing our own inner richness and maturity. Then
we have so much love to give that we naturally draw lovers towards us.
