Daily Horoscope for Aquarius Summary

I'm about the biggest Christmas miser there is. Too much materialism. Too many Christmas songs on repeat. Winter, snow, cold. It's just not my season.

Still, I feel as though there has been less "Christmas cheer" flowing around this year as opposed to years previous. I'm not a big fan, but it should still be there. Maybe it's me. Maybe it's the collective pressure of the world, political and economic uncertainties, and individual hardships that have done what they will to suppress the "cheer" that's normally spread on really thick. Who knows?

The nature of the chart for the past week or so (and continuing on up through just around the new year) is change. It's looming. We can all kind of feel it, through the things we want, through the things we fear, through the things we see developing before us. Pluto (which loves change) and the North Node (which dictates how we get from where we are now to where we end up, in a fated sense) have been connected for quite a while. Last week Mars (aggression, desire and will) and Mercury (communication) passed by, setting the table in a sense. But this week the Sun rolls through. The talk we've done in the past about what we want to do, well, now we're going to start doing it.

And if we choose not to? That's where Pluto will start to kick in. Pluto's going to initiate changes in our lives regardless of whether we like what's happening, or if we're ready for it, or if we're completely acting in opposition to the flow of events happening before us. Trust me, the harder you resist what's going on around you (and trying to stick to the old ways), the worse it's going to be. Pluto doesn't care what you want, it just wants something different.

The best way to lower the potential for unfavorable developments is to go with the flow. Be receptive to changes, and this is a great time for initiating them yourself. If you call the shots on where you want to go, you have more control over what the Universe ends up throwing at you.

As we hit another holiday season and the turn of another new year, uncertainties linger all over, but this is a key week in how the future shapes up for all of us. Let go of your reservations and test the waters. Take a leap of faith. Who knows? Maybe the collective cheer will start to return. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Aquarius

In all that's going on around you, strive to maintain your voice and the ability to be accounted for. More than any other sign you can be thrown into a reactionary role (at a time when the chart favors personal initiative) because you can spend a lot of time caring for others. You can be largely successful in any measures that seek to improve the lives of others, but you don't want to allow others to assume you're always going to pick them up ("give a man a fish...", and so on). The idea is to do things that allow others to grow on their own, so that your attention isn't constantly preoccupied whenever you need to handle your own personal matters.

...Show some Love...

Daily Tao

Cease learning, no more worries
Respectful response and scornful response
How much is the difference?
Goodness and evil
How much do they differ?
What the people fear, I cannot be unafraid

So desolate! How limitless it is!
The people are excited
As if enjoying a great feast
As if climbing up to the terrace in spring
I alone am quiet and uninvolved
Like an infant not yet smiling
So weary, like having no place to return
The people all have surplus
While I alone seem lacking
I have the heart of a fool indeed – so ignorant!
Ordinary people are bright
I alone am muddled
Ordinary people are scrutinizing
I alone am obtuse
Such tranquility, like the ocean
Such high wind, as if without limits

The people all have goals
And I alone am stubborn and lowly
I alone am different from them
And value the nourishing mother
