Daily Horoscope for Aries Summary

NBC came out with a recent reincarnation of American Gladiators over the past weekend, something that I and my friends had been completely stoked about. As a kid growing up in the late eighties-early nineties, American Gladiators was essential viewing every time it came on. After we had finished watching the show, my brothers, any available friends and me would replicate the events we just saw in my living room; playing joust with pillows, using our Nerf weapons to play Assault, pulling empty trash cans into the middle of the room to play Powerball. Sure mom was a little angry every time something got broke or if there was too much noise due to us thundering around the house pretending to be Nitro or Turbo.

Fast forward to this weekend, and the giddiness flowing through the room was palpable. We were counting down the time until it came on through out the day; for as big of football fans as we are, the playoff games were second fiddle on Sunday. It was all about Gladiators.

So what happened? We started watching and almost immediately we could tell the show was going to be over-produced. The cameras cut too frequently making it tough to follow the action in the events. Certain rule changes made no sense. They continually interviewed the contenders throughout the show even though the contenders said essentially the same things every time (meanwhile, cutting those interviews might’ve allowed an extra event to be played). And portions of the show seemed too contrived. While you never could’ve really called American Gladiators a “sport” it used to be a pure competition and I have to think after watching the show on Sunday that through the presentation they are drowning a lot of the competitive aspects of the events, trying to make it more of a “show”.

Anyways, what’s this got to do with the chart, Bud? People are going to be thinking in a highly innovative kind of manner this week, trying to make existing structures in their lives better. But as you’ll see, when people try to enforce these changes, they can either be overdone or in the process of making these changes, people lose the original point of making them in the first place. Back to Gladiators, maybe NBC makes a ton of money off the show (despite its new flaws, it is still quite watchable), but if they would’ve kept it simple and not changed too much from before, no doubt it would’ve turned out better. So in your own personal lives, don’t go out there attempting to reinvent the wheel, or you might find that your car doesn’t quite roll as effectively as before. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Aries

This energy can lead to you making some less than enjoyable shifts in the way you address your everyday tasks. For some of you this might lead you to have to begin waking up earlier in the morning for work (which always seems like a pain). For others, you might congest your schedule to the point where you are always rushing and never savoring any of the things you do. After time, things usually become habitual and you get used to them, but for now, the initial shock is going to leave you wishing you hadn’t made the change in the first place.

...Show some Love...

Daily Tao

Yield and remain whole
Bend and remain straight
Be low and become filled
Be worn out and become renewed
Have little and receive
Have much and be confused
Therefore the sages hold to the one as an example for the world
Without flaunting themselves – and so are seen clearly
Without presuming themselves – and so are distinguished
Without praising themselves – and so have merit
Without boasting about themselves – and so are lasting

Because they do not contend, the world cannot contend with them
What the ancients called "the one who yields and remains whole"
Were they speaking empty words?
Sincerity becoming whole, and returning to oneself
