The Oracle


The 2-7-8 Trine: Listen closely to the Silence about you.  Balance the Trials with Laughter.


We all know the story of how caterpillar becomes the butterfly,  but the less romantic truth is that sometimes there comes a moth!


Can you determine what will come out of your personal cocoon? 


This is a querulous and curious Trine. 


You may go through a period where you feel extremely uncertain about yourself and how you fit in. 


If you are socially conscious and of nervous disposition you may also stay a long time in studies at university,  etc.


This can mean maturity not arriving until your 30’s. 


You need a greater self-confidence before you can express yourself clearly. 


When the confidence arrives,  all the inadequacy problems you have suffered will become fuel for the fire of experience.

The 2-7-8 Trine:

Listen closely to the Silence about you.

Balance the Trials with Laughter.



  We all know the story of how caterpillar becomes the butterfly, but the less romantic truth is that sometimes there comes a moth! Can you determine what will come out of your personal cocoon?


  This is a querulous and curious Trine. You may go through a period where you feel extremely uncertain about yourself and how you fit in. If you are socially conscious and of nervous disposition you may also stay a long time in studies at university, etc.


  This can mean maturity not arriving until your 30’s. You need a greater self-confidence before you can express yourself clearly. When the confidence arrives, all the inadequacy problems you have suffered will become fuel for the fire of experience.


  For you, the difference between becoming the moth or the butterfly will be an attitude of Silence, and an understanding of the Law of Silence.


  You need to grasp an inner Silence which will allow you to appreciate the natural beauty all around you. The colours of your imagination will paint your wings, and turn you, the ordinary moth, into the beautiful butterfly. Here it is essential that you come to the point of genuinely liking yourself.


  Otherwise, the influence of this Trine will be karmic, and finance will be a lifelong concern.


  If this point of inner acceptance can be reached you can go a long way in understanding your inner self. You will do best in a career as a teacher, or as someone who will assist others to unfold their wings.


  You will have a deep appreciation of beauty, and your natural aesthetic quality causes you to look for the finer things of life. You would rather have one finely cut jacket instead of a wardrobe of cheap imitations, even if the imitations were perfect. Why? You need to feel quality in your life.


  Very often, because quality is the goal, it is exactly what arrives ... In clothes, in personal relationships, in everything the highest qualities will arrive, but only if you remember to become the butterfly rather than the moth. Sure, crawl out of the cocoon as a moth, but be sure to bring your paint brush along to finish the job.


  So often the paint brush is a pain brush, however, and you will need to learn how to laugh about the difficulties, and get over them, rather than dwell in them.


  In all, it is an excellent Trine for the artist and writer, and those whose occupation require a degree of aloneness. It is not so good for those who want laughter and company, for the inherent aspect here is simply not all that happy on the social merry-go-round.


  Even so, you usually want it all the same!


  Get past this paradigm of needing what you don’t need as quickly as you can, and you will be a lot happier. Put yourself in Social Circles that are focussed on a goal, like Rotary of Lions, or find a project or hobby that gives you the social connections you need.


  A major lesson is to do with seeing the darker side of things, yet being able to communicate this in a light and clear manner. In this regard, you are a translator of “stuff” … You will take the message from one side of the fence, and translate it into a language that the other side can understand.


  You will make a good diplomat and translator in this regard.


  As far as marriage and partnerships go, your happiness will depend very much on what TYPE of person you choose. Do you know what a catalyst is? A catalyst is a chemical compound that creates change, but is of itself not a part of the change.


  This is the type of partner that you will need. You work well with a Catalyst, so look for a partner that is equally interested in your social observations and pastimes, but who will likewise like to stay on the fringe of conversation.


  Remember that Laughter is the best medicine. Humour is essential to resolve the often contrary influences of this aspect. Oddly enough, as you become emotionally stable you may feel a strong sense of ambition arising, with an almost foreign desire to climb the ladder.


  Let that one go, and focus on your natural altruism. This natural giving ability will move you further as far as career and social acceptance goes.


  Your Motto is: The Sun shines equally on all, but you won’t find it standing in the shadows.
