Daily Horoscope for Aries Summary

The Sun moves into Virgo this week. Happy Birthday, Virgos! Now it’s time for everyone to join in on the energy! Time to be anal-retentive and hyper-critical! Yay! Time to sneak around and dig into everyone else’s gossip, but never reveal our own. Yay! Time to adopt tunnel-vision and miss the big picture. Yay!

Virgos, like all the other signs in the zodiac, are a mess. But it doesn’t mean we turn a blind eye and leave everything in a shambles. We recognize it, work with what we have, and hopefully correct the mistakes as we go, while making a note-to-self to improve upon it in the future.

It doesn’t help that Mercury, Virgo’s ruling planet, is retrograde. And to boot, it’s retrograde in the sign of Virgo. That’s a double-whammy. It’s the equivalent of one of those gigantic Hollywood spotlights (you know, the ones they use to debut a movie premiere) shining down on Virgo’s nether regions--an area that shy Virgo would much rather keep in the dark. For some reason, Virgo is being made an example of. (Virgos hate to be made an example of, especially on their birthday.) The universal is rubbing the proverbial salt in the proverbial wound. Over the next three weeks, Virgo will pose as the guinea pig.

The universe wouldn't put us (specifically Virgo) through all this if there wasn't a lesson to be learned. (Unfortunately, to Virgo’s chagrin.) Watch carefully and pay close attention to your Virgo brethren. Watch and learn how they cope with this energy over the next three weeks. It might not be a pretty picture. But it’s worth the $7.00 popcorn and the very realistic 3D glasses that come with the ticket. It’s almost as if it’s happening right in front of you!

What are we supposed to learn from all this? What is the universe trying to say with Mercury Retrograde in Virgo on Virgo’s birthday? Good question. I can’t say that I have the answer. However, I do know that I will become a Virgo connoisseur over the next few weeks. I will eat, drink, and study Virgo’s reactions to the on again off again T-square along with the Mercury Retrograde. I will become a Virgoan scientist. And each week, I will report back my findings, if any at all. Perhaps only a Virgo can answer these questions. Please do chime in, Virgos!

The Daily Horoscope for Aries

The workplace is where you’re going to shine over the next month. You will garner a second wind at work. Last month had been all about play. Now it’s time to put your nose to the grindstone. Don’t worry! Results will be favorable and you will get the accolade you deserve. Simultaneously and ironically, you can use the second wind to set up a workout routine or exercise schedule as well as to switch to a healthier diet. Start to monitor your nutrition. Quit the residual vices holding you back: smoking, drinking, and other activities that shall not be named, eh-hem!

...Show some Love...

Daily Tao

Favor and disgrace make one fearful
The greatest misfortune is the self
What does "favor and disgrace make one fearful" mean?
Favor is high; disgrace is low
Having it makes one fearful
Losing it makes one fearful
This is "favor and disgrace make one fearful"

What does "the greatest misfortune is the self" mean?
The reason I have great misfortune
Is that I have the self
If I have no self
What misfortune do I have?

So one who values the self as the world
Can be given the world
One who loves the self as the world
Can be entrusted with the world
