Daily Horoscope for Aquarius Summary

The energy shifts a little bit this week, with Mercury going direct. As always, the Mercury retro elements have a tendency to linger until it's back into full speed ahead mode again, and that will be applicable today. You are going to want to stay aware of the recent things you've learned and the perspective it gives you, as you'll have some opportunities to put these to use.

Aside from that, we have a couple other things going on. First is the Sun connecting with Uranus. This is going to kickstart a lot of people's senses of creativity. I'll liken it to my idea for a cheap, automatic sock folder from earlier this retro, which presently looks like a market deficiency. One of you will probably steal this idea now and make a million bucks; when you do, remember ol' Bud (at least send me a free one).

Mars also sits in between Saturn and Pluto, drawing off both of them. This can perpetuate some of the uneasiness that's been going on with any work issues, though that aspect is trying to fade. As Mars moves closer to Pluto through the week though, you're going to see more destructive tendencies arise. Be careful about tearing things down without good reason, and also without a good replacement plan. This also applies to items, so be more careful with your stuff.

Lastly, you have Venus oppo Jupiter, which can create some short term-long term desire conflicts. Are you bailing on better rewards down the line in order to get a cheap thrill now? Are you sticking with bad situations out of dumb principles that don't hold up under scrutiny? Weigh both sides of these types of scenarios before you make decisions.

Overall, there's quite a bit of tension in the chart, but relative to the recent energy, at least it's set up to not hit you all in the same spot at the same time. There will be some challenges, but also some opportunities. This is really one of those "stick with it" kind of charts where going through some adversity creates better situations for you in the future. The main thing is to avoid getting fed up, flipping over your war room table and starting from scratch. Work within the situations you're in for solutions, as they're out there. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Aquarius

The energy can provide some small levels of comfort here, but they can be deceiving as they're the types of things that keep you from taking bigger risks. You might things are okay how they are now, but when opportunities for big improvement come along, you should step out of the comfort zone and take a stab at them. This is especially true in the career areas of life, where others want to see if you have the potential to step beyond the things you're currently doing into something more.

...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
