Daily Horoscope for Aquarius Summary

The craziness ensues today as we begin another segment of Mercury retrograde ("Oh joy!"), which is going to last up until the 29th. In the holiday spirit, this has the potential to inspire a litany of terrible presents, crappy sweaters, stuff that doesn't fit so well; the Grinch's heart would shrink 4 sizes. "So Bud, how can I avoid doling out mega-cash for stuff that might cause my family to wonder if there's poison in the Christmas Cookies?" You have to think in terms of functionality right now (at least until the 18th, when Mercury backs into Sag). What do they need? What is going to help them do their daily tasks better? These are the types of things you'll have more insight into buying for right now. But slow down and think it out first. Window shopping is bad news with Mercury retro, but researched shopping is better. Anything glitzy and showy that you might buy (hoping to make an impression of some sort) today and this week is probably going to flop when it comes down to it. If you want to get that kind of stuff, wait until the 18th. It's the functional stuff (computers, work chairs, phones) that you'll want to tackle now, and again, make sure you do your research on the stuff to make sure it's quality.

In non-holiday shopping areas, the next few days are mega-potent as Mercury, Mars, Pluto and the Node are all together in the big sky. It's madness, but it's also madness that aims to get things done. Some of you are going to feel compelled to jump ship from what you're currently doing, perhaps with this idea that you can do a lot better somewhere else. While this is very true, and transformations can be highly favored at this time (in addition to the fact that you'll be compelled to use all of your energy to make transitions smoother), you shouldn't do it without some kind of plan in place first. If a better opportunity comes along, strongly consider it, but if you're just hoping for something and not finding it, either look harder or stick with what you have. You don't want to position yourself in a spot with no current available options. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Aquarius

There's going to be this need to bridge the gap between the past and the future. You'll think that situations wrap themselves up real nicely when they come full-circle, kind of like in the fairy tales. The real world doesn't operate as smoothly, but this won't preclude you from taking action that brings the rest of the world a little closer to your ideals. When you find yourself stuck in neutral, you'll usually shift courses and try something new, rather than expending a ton of energy in the attempts to clear the things holding you back.

...Show some Love...

Perhaps there is a pattern set up in the heavens for one who desires to see it, and having seen it, to find one in himself...

Daily Tao

In governing people and serving Heaven
There is nothing like conservation
Only with conservation is it called submitting early
Submitting early is called emphasis on accumulating virtues
Accumulating virtues means there is nothing one cannot overcome
When there is nothing that one cannot overcome
One's limits are unknown
The limitations being unknown, one can possess sovereignty
With this mother principle of power, one can be everlasting
This is called deep roots and firm foundation
The Tao of longevity and lasting vision
