Daily Horoscope for Aquarius Summary

The Sun is still opposing Pluto today, but that energy is starting to fade a good bit at this point. Many of last week's frustrations will start to subside and we can carry on with a new perspective on things. In some ways, it's kind of like cleaning up a big mess - we don't really want to do it, but it still needs to get done.

Also going on in the big sky today, we have Mars opposing the Node. The things we think we want now probably aren't going to be the things we ultimately thought we were seeking. This energy makes it a bit easier to fall off a chosen path due to impulse, impatience or overall agitation. It requires a bit of grit and determination to get through, to stick to your goals and keep pressing onward even when things seem like they might get tough. A lot of people here can look for the easy way out and abandon ship, but will then complain later when they didn't get what they were looking for.

Those kinds of things are rougher, but we also have a Saturn-Uranus-Venus Grand Trine to balance things out, though that's also starting to fade out a bit. This is about positive changes and making sure we're doing what's necessary to maintain a level of self-sufficiency. Retro-Saturn puts the onus on us as individuals to make sure we're getting the things we need. A lot of our struggles in life are indeed self-made, and coming to an acceptance of that empowers us to know we can make the changes we need to in order to move forward. This side of the energy generally isn't going to be glamorous, but it's about making smart decisions, maybe being a touch more frugal (and coming to appreciate that), and sticking to principles that guide our actions.

Overall, it's a pretty good chart, even if there might be some stress along the way. Stress isn't usually a thing people want to have around, but here at least it can provide some opportunities to build character.

Anyways, to end on the theme of cleaning up messes, a buddy of mine is running a petition to enforce clean-ups of illegal dumping in Venice Beach, which is apparently something of a big issue. I'm gonna post a link below - feel free to sign it if you feel so inclined.

The Daily Horoscope for Aquarius

This energy carries a bit of a lusting component that can spice up some relationships, but also gives you a nudge to be a better, stronger person in non-relationship matters. You can focus more on the ends and not as much on the means. If there are multiple options to solve a problem, you can consider the best one, without letting your pride get in the way. There can be a tendency to put yourself out there too much for others, but luckily the pursuit of your own goals will generally be strong enough for you to avoid being taken advantage of.

...Show some Love...

Daily Tao

Those who hold an abundance of virtue
Are similar to newborn infants
Poisonous insects do not sting them
Wild beasts do not claw them
Birds of prey do not attack them
Their bones are weak, tendons are soft
But their grasp is firm
They do not know of sexual union but can manifest arousal
Due to the optimum of essence
They can cry the whole day and yet not be hoarse
Due to the optimum of harmony
Knowing harmony is said to be constancy
Knowing constancy is said to be clarity

Excessive vitality is said to be inauspicious
Mind overusing energy is said to be aggressive
Things become strong and then grow old
This is called contrary to the Tao
That which is contrary to the Tao will soon perish
