Daily Horoscope for Aries Summary

I'm about the biggest Christmas miser there is. Too much materialism. Too many Christmas songs on repeat. Winter, snow, cold. It's just not my season.

Still, I feel as though there has been less "Christmas cheer" flowing around this year as opposed to years previous. I'm not a big fan, but it should still be there. Maybe it's me. Maybe it's the collective pressure of the world, political and economic uncertainties, and individual hardships that have done what they will to suppress the "cheer" that's normally spread on really thick. Who knows?

The nature of the chart for the past week or so (and continuing on up through just around the new year) is change. It's looming. We can all kind of feel it, through the things we want, through the things we fear, through the things we see developing before us. Pluto (which loves change) and the North Node (which dictates how we get from where we are now to where we end up, in a fated sense) have been connected for quite a while. Last week Mars (aggression, desire and will) and Mercury (communication) passed by, setting the table in a sense. But this week the Sun rolls through. The talk we've done in the past about what we want to do, well, now we're going to start doing it.

And if we choose not to? That's where Pluto will start to kick in. Pluto's going to initiate changes in our lives regardless of whether we like what's happening, or if we're ready for it, or if we're completely acting in opposition to the flow of events happening before us. Trust me, the harder you resist what's going on around you (and trying to stick to the old ways), the worse it's going to be. Pluto doesn't care what you want, it just wants something different.

The best way to lower the potential for unfavorable developments is to go with the flow. Be receptive to changes, and this is a great time for initiating them yourself. If you call the shots on where you want to go, you have more control over what the Universe ends up throwing at you.

As we hit another holiday season and the turn of another new year, uncertainties linger all over, but this is a key week in how the future shapes up for all of us. Let go of your reservations and test the waters. Take a leap of faith. Who knows? Maybe the collective cheer will start to return. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Aries

The career field can be rather hectic. In the recent past you might've had to find new work, or have had to deal with workplace drama that's affected your ability to work and achieve to your full potential. The problems in this area of life can amplify here, but unlike before, the ball is more in your court and you'll have the ability to dictate where things head in the future. If you're unhappy, you can implement the changes needed to make things more bearable (or even enjoyable). If things are more stable, this is a great time for seeking to elevate your status, but you have to be active about pursuing it, rather than hoping it's handed to you.

...Show some Love...

Daily Tao

High virtue is not virtuous
Therefore it has virtue
Low virtue never loses virtue
Therefore it has no virtue
High virtue takes no contrived action
And acts without agenda
Low virtue takes contrived action
And acts with agenda
High benevolence takes contrived action
And acts without agenda
High righteousness takes contrived action
And acts with agenda
High etiquette takes contrived action
And upon encountering no response
Uses arms to pull others

Therefore, the Tao is lost, and then virtue
Virtue is lost, and then benevolence
Benevolence is lost, and then righteousness
Righteousness is lost, and then etiquette
Those who have etiquette
are a thin shell of loyalty and sincerity
And the beginning of chaos
Those with foreknowledge
Are the flowers of the Tao
And the beginning of ignorance
Therefore the great person:
Abides in substance, and does not dwell on the thin shell
Abides in the real, and does not dwell on the flower
Thus they discard that and take this
