Daily Horoscope for Aquarius Summary

* I remember parading the streets of Baltimore, bombed to the moon, singing Holy Diver with the sons of Mac at the top of our lungs. Life has its bright spots and that was certainly one of them. Rock on, Ronnie James Dio *

I've been writing scopes for quite a while now, years and years, but this chart might be the craziest that I've seen. Venus, Saturn, Uranus, Jupiter and Pluto in the Grand Cross formation, Sun hooking up with Saturn, Mercury hitting Pluto, Neptune and Chiron hitting Venus, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria. Major stuff. And that's where it gets tricky.

You see, I look at this chart and I keep waiting for some big event to come along, something that seems to match the intensity of the planetary alignment, but then I forget that the Universe almost always operates in manners that none of us expect (because what fun is predictability). So the magic here is probably going to come through subtlety (at least in our individual lives).

People are going to battle with their personal wants and desires here, as Venus seems to be in the most precarious position. But there's a larger sense of confusion, partially because of its connection with Neptune (which can fill us with pleasant dreamscapes) but also because of its position within the Grand Cross (which will hit us with a reality that fails to match our dreams, imagination and wishes). There's so many disconnects and dichotomies between mind and emotion, and thought and reality (realistically afflicting most areas of life) that it makes it extremely tough to rationalize where things are going. Awesome opportunities might seem jaded. The things we desire most might be leading us astray. It's hard to know what to pursue and what to avoid.

There's so much unpredictability in the chart that you can almost begin to expect it. Be ready for anything, and be ready to try anything. Right now, in the cosmic landscape, we're all lost in the tornado (like Dorothy on the way to Oz). Nothing is particularly rooted as such, so you don't have much to lose if something backfires. Keep a very present-minded mentality and see where things go. When the whirlwind lets up, it'll toss around in a way no one really planned anyways, and we can pick it up from there. It's no use trying to control anything in a state like this. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Aquarius

Increasing productivity is going to be as important to you as anything else. You need to feel as though you are doing something with a larger meaning attached. No matter what else is going on in your life, you can always fall back on a job well done, which is one of the easier things to attain at a time like this. You might insist on working in unorthodox ways, which might not always mesh with what others are trying to accomplish on their own, but as long as you are effective individually, you should avoid any major problems.

...Show some Love...

Today's Astrology Quote of the Day:
Astrology is assured recognition from psychology without further restrictions, because astrology represents the summation of all the knowledge of antiquity...
The fact that it is possible to construct, in adequate fashion, a person’s character from the data of his nativity, shows the validity of astrology...

Daily Tao

The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao
The name that can be named is not the eternal name
The nameless is the origin of Heaven and Earth
The named is the mother of myriad things
Thus, constantly without desire, one observes its essence
Constantly with desire, one observes its manifestations
These two emerge together but differ in name
The unity is said to be the mystery
Mystery of mysteries, the door to all wonders
