Daily Horoscope for Aquarius Summary

Today's energy is all about power. So it's going to be a little weird that I start off with a story about Olive Garden. I like Olive Garden (which is probably sacrilege being of partial Sicilian descent, but the lasagna is tasty, so back off). Me and my buddy Jaret have been going there to eat for years. Jaret, like myself, is 30, went to college, went to Ranger School, studied to become a surveyor, became a surveyor, and now there's no surveying work, so he's now unemployed. Anyways, a couple of weeks back he gets a job at Olive Garden, where he's going to work as a waiter. I'm pumped, because hey, employee discount.

Tonight we go out to eat, and he tells me he got canned from Olive Garden after two weeks. I'm like why? He's a smart guy, has worked in restaurants before; it's a little shocking. Apparently, he mistakenly wiped out an order cause he hit the wrong button on their touch screen, but he was able to redo the credit card info, the Olive Garden gift card any everything but a two-dollar coupon. That's supposed to come out of his tips. A manager who works there told him to trade the coupon off to someone else for two bucks, and they can throw it on an order and he can get his two bucks; an unwritten rule they say. He tries to do this, but some other waitress he talked to complains to the general manager, who's obligated by the rules of their job to report it to Corporate. Corporate dubs this as “fraud”, and orders Jaret to be immediately terminated. Over a two-dollar coupon. At a job he's had for two weeks, where he's still learning the ropes. Power.

So since Olive Garden a. believes my buddy is masterminding some scheme to bankrupt them one two-dollar coupon at a time, or b. cares so little about discarding new employees over menial mess-ups, I figured I'll share this heaping pile of BS with the multitude of people who read our horoscopes. And this is the crux of today's energy; when you try to over-exert your influence, others are going to resist and push back, and it's going to make even small situations a mess. So look for balance and fairness in the things that you do and with the people you interact with, or else you too can get sucked into an abyss you don't really want to deal with. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Aquarius

There might be some ceilings that you are quickly approaching, but you might be at a loss for ways to move further in the quest for your goals. Others might have some discouraging commentary for you, but you don't have to buy into this. There's going to be a sense within you that you can create new opportunities just by talking your way into them, but the way things are set up, you better have some past results to back your words up.

...Show some Love...

Daily Tao

When the world knows beauty as beauty, ugliness arises
When it knows good as good, evil arises
Thus being and non-being produce each other
Difficult and easy bring about each other
Long and short reveal each other
High and low support each other
Music and voice harmonize each other
Front and back follow each other
Therefore the sages:
Manage the work of detached actions
Conduct the teaching of no words
They work with myriad things but do not control
They create but do not possess
They act but do not presume
They succeed but do not dwell on success
It is because they do not dwell on success
That it never goes away
