Daily Horoscope for Aries Summary

A eulogy for the garage:

For many people, in their youth (and often beyond that), there are familiar haunts, the old stomping grounds where you regularly meet up and hang out. You might venture to other areas, but there's usually one or two set hang out spots where you go most often, where you feel most comfortable. For the guys in my circle, the spot of our late teens and early twenties was the garage. It was big, could seat 15 guys comfortably (though admittedly there were many nights where guys had to stand up because there weren't 15 chairs) and it was shelter from the wind on many a winter nights. The other guys' moms or dads would drop them off on Friday afternoon and come to pick them up on Sunday night. During the days we'd go off on our regular adventures or play sports of some sorts, and then at night we'd get drunk in the garage.

It was usually rather cold in there during the winter, and most of the time the lights didn't work so we'd have to light a bunch of candles for light, but it served its function of being the chief hang-out spot for a long time.

Predominantly, the only thing really to do inside was talk (or as we liked to call it "philosophizing"). We'd talk about all sorts of topics, many of importance, some revolving around politics or political theory, others around our wishes out of life, some about girls we knew, and others that are best not to mention here. I suppose when you're young, life is so full of possibilities and you give anything a shot.

Anyways, that's what I'll take away most from the time in the garage, is getting to really know your friends and the discussions about hopes, wishes, possibilities and potential. It's probably been around 10 years since the last time any of us hung out inside, but it still was the primary location upon which all of our tightest friendships were formed. I'll miss that aspect, but hey, now the yard'll probably be bigger.

Anyways, today's astrological tie-in is this. The Sun, Mars and Neptune are all hanging out in Aquarius and this is going to put an increased emphasis on exploring the same types of hopes, aspirations, wants and possibilities that we used to talk about back in the day. The Sun and Neptune will conspire to think up cockamamie ideas and Mars, much like the "liquid courage" (booze) we used to consume, will push us to take action on the ideas we come up with.

So in all, it's a day of dreaming, but it's also a day putting those dreams into action. In most cases, this will work out to be beneficial, but you do want to watch out for "the guy who takes things too far", because that potential is definitely out there today too. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Aries

Mental fulfillment will be high on your priority list. You're going to want to lower the amount of stress in your life, in addition to making sure that the things you are doing are mentally stimulating, and to an extent, have a greater benefit to the people around you. In this sense, you can be more selfless in your decisions, but you're going to want to see things done your way as well. Others can either jump on board your train, or they'll have to deal with your glares of disapproval throughout the day.

...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

While alive, the body is soft and pliant
When dead, it is hard and rigid
All living things, grass and trees,
While alive, are soft and supple
When dead, become dry and brittle
Thus that which is hard and stiff
is the follower of death
That which is soft and yielding
is the follower of life
Therefore, an inflexible army will not win
A strong tree will be cut down
The big and forceful occupy a lowly position
While the soft and pliant occupy a higher place
