Daily Horoscope for Aries Summary

Okay, so Mercury is getting along with Saturn, but the two of them are at odds with Mars, which is cool with Neptune and Jupiter, which are both fighting with the Sun. Huh? Meanwhile, Uranus is waiting to form a complex mutable T-Square with Saturn, Mercury and Mars (that starts to intensify early next week). It sounds like a crazy episode of Jerry Springer!

Let's try to break this down a bit. The Sun connecting with Neptune and Jupiter is going to be a barrier to progress, but it's a current barrier. Some of us are going to see where we want to go, what we are striving towards only to see that right now we just don't have the skills and talents to get it done. Because of this, some of us are going to give up and go home. But, just because we aren't prepared to do what we want now doesn't mean we can't get there eventually. So some of us will use this transit to build up skills that are needed to take the next leap forward. Right now, things might seem tough, but this is the type of energy that will spear head great reformations.

The other side of things has the Saturn, Mars, Mercury and Uranus transit forming. This weekend, you'll notice that the things you do aren't really backing up the things you're saying. This is energy that can cause people to resist doing things they're supposed to for no reason other than “they don't want to.” People aren't going to want to hear others tell them what to do. This will continue on into next week (when Uranus starts to get involved), only it's then where you're going to want people to tell you what to do. This transit can get frustrating in that there's a lot of energy and agitation flowing around because people don't know what they're supposed to do with themselves, or where to go. What we need is to listen to the people around us that can show us the way. With Mercury hooked up with Saturn, they aren't going to put things nicely, they'll bluntly tell us what has to happen (which can hurt feelings) but tough it out. It's the message that's important, not the delivery.

If you look at things on the surface, the planets are in a difficult alignment that can cause some hardship this weekend. But, there's boatloads of potential if you look for direction and commit to building yourself. You're going to have to earn it but it's out there. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Aries

People at work can be a bit of a drag and you can become frustrated with flaws in how things operate there, all the while feeling that no one would listen to you even if you brought things up to be addressed. This can sap some of your desire to learn more because you won't be sure what the point is. You do have one thing on your side though, and that's going to be that you will still get a huge kick out of the learning and growing process. Give in to the enjoyment behind it and let that take you to where you need to go.

...Show some Love...

Today's Astrology Quote of the Day:
Perhaps there is a pattern set up in the heavens for one who desires to see it, and having seen it, to find one in himself...

Daily Tao

Higher people hear of the Tao
They diligently practice it
Average people hear of the Tao
They sometimes keep it and sometimes lose it
Lower people hear of the Tao
They laugh loudly at it
If they do not laugh, it would not be the Tao

Therefore a proverb has the following:
The clear Tao appears unclear
The advancing Tao appears to retreat
The smooth Tao appears uneven
High virtue appears like a valley
Great integrity appears like disgrace
Encompassing virtue appears insufficient
Building virtue appears inactive
True substance appears inconstant
The great square has no corners
The great vessel is late in completion
The great music is imperceptible in sound
The great image has no form
The Tao is hidden and nameless
Yet it is only the Tao
That excels in giving and completing everything
