Daily Horoscope for Aries Summary

Once, long ago, my old man told me the tale of "Catalog Shopping"; for me to paraphrase it probably won't do it justice, but he probably hasn't mentioned it himself here in a while so I'll share.

Once, long ago in the beforetime, when Pa Dowd was younger, he was hanging out in a diner by himself reading a chart (back when he only did astrology as a hobby). This guy comes up to him sits down across from him, inquiring about the chart and such. They get to talking and it turns out the guy is pretty successful, like he's CEO of department store or something else big time. The CEO guy says, "Why do you hate me for being successful?" to which Pa Dowd responded that he didn't, but the CEO guy could kind of tell there was some resentment there.

Afterwards, they had this discussion (the minute details of which escape me presently), but they got to the concept of "Catalog Shopping" (as Pa Dowd has so dubbed). The CEO pulls out this magazine and tells my dad to flip through it. "Pick out anything in there you want". So my dad flips through and sees this pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses. "These look cool," he says. CEO guy says, "Visualize them. See yourself with them." So my dad does this for a second, then CEO guy takes the magazine back.

"As you go about your days, have the vision of you want ready, but do nothing to acquire it. Work as hard as you can in what ever you do. Be excellent and the spirit will find a way to deliver that thing to you." So Pa Dowd leaves the guy and for the next two weeks, he busts ass at whatever job he was at back then. And somehow (in a manner I don't really remember), he ended up with Ray-Ban sunglasses essentially falling into his lap.

A little crazy, aye? The moral of the story is if you have belief, and you work hard, you do the things you're supposed to do, the Universe will provide for you. It might do so in quirky ways that you hadn't expected, but where's the fun in predictability? Best of luck.

Daily Tao

The bold in daring will be killed
The bold in not daring will survive

Of these two, one may benefit, the other may harm
The one hated by Heaven – who knows the reason?
Even the sages still find this difficult

The Tao of Heaven:
Does not contend and yet excels in winning
Does not speak and yet excels in responding
Is not summoned and yet comes on its own
Is unhurried and yet excels in planning
The heavenly net is vast
Loose, and yet does not let anything slip through
