Daily Horoscope for Aquarius Summary

The collective pressure seems to be mounting a bit. People aren't happy with what they see around them and it can take its toll on some (kind of like the Arizona shooter). Still, we all have the power to get through the tough times, as long as we keep our wits about us.

I was watching the Louis C.K. comedy special over the weekend and one of his bits revolved around the things that we complain about (particularly in the US). We complain about delays, when the internet is too slow (“the site didn't pop up instaneously!”), all sorts of stuff. The truth is that in this regard, no one is really unique. We go through personal issues and we think because we're the only ones in our small circles battling something, that makes it unique and thus perhaps somehow more important. In reality though, someone else out there in the world is dealing with something exactly the same as you might be.

With the Node and Pluto still kind of close, and with Mercury running by each of them this week, the focus switches to evolution. We'll be prone to speaking more about what we don't like and where we want to end up. Maybe what we've done wrong, and the potential solutions to go about fixing it. But keep in mind Pluto and the Node don't really mess around. They can be blunt. They can be obvious, and they don't really sugar-coat anything to make the ride easier.

So take it upon yourself to realistically assess your situations today. Are you making things out to be a bigger deal than they should be? Are you diminishing your future prospects out of a fear that doing things differently might actually land you in a different position? Do you say you really want certain things, and then when they come around, you turn away because they're not the way you envisioned?

In the end it boils down to this: People seem to be wearing down, notsomuch because of the problems in their lives, but because of the perpetuation of them. A situation that lingers. Handling it for one day might seem alright, but over a long period of time, that's when it starts to really become a mental burden. Today's energy brings along the potential for a little bit of help, even if it might only come through the therapeutic means of talking about it. If something's bugging you, open up about it. Share it with others. But in doing so, you also have to be receptive to the responses you get and you have to remain open to making necessary changes to improve the situation. Don't try to fix any problems; just look for ways to make them easier to deal with. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Aquarius

There's a pessimism that can occasionally overcome you, and as a result you can think in terms of what you can't do, rather than what you can. You've got to flip things around and see the world around you more in terms of what you can take on, and what extents you have to go to in order to get it done. The overall rationalism of this energy will keep you from jumping into situations where your skills are too weak to be successful, but will allow you to confidently get into ones where you can.

...Show some Love...
