Daily Horoscope for Aries Summary

When things get rough, the energy can give us a little nudge to let us know it's around. I realized that a bit with the Mercury retro chaos which slowed down a couple of projects I was working on, in addition to messing with my e-mail all day. Madness. But, as the old man alluded to yesterday, much of the reason for the issues laid at my feet. You'll notice the same thing in your own life. You might want to cast blame for things, and others can certainly bungle their ends of bargains, but there is probably something you could have done in order to make things run more smoothly.

This is going to be a constant for the next three to four weeks though, so adapt and move on. Be smarter about your decisions. Factor in back up plans. Stay in constant touch with people around you. Preparedness helps keep you out of trouble and it usually only requires a minimal extra effort.

On the flip side, Mars connects with Neptune and Jupiter and Venus also connect today, which is going to keep people off-balance for the most part. The Mars-Neptune energy builds up our hopes. The Venus-Jupiter energy makes it hard for things we want most (usually money or romance related) to come to fruition. There's an up and down that occurs, starting within the mind and extending to the physical plane, where the actions you encounter don't match up with the way you had them mapped out in your head. So be pretty careful here. You can brim with motivation and it's an excellent time to start something new with structural or protective benefits. At the same time, don't put so much stock in your wants; time will show that if you don't get what you were looking for here, chances are it wasn't quite what you expected it to be anyway. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Aries

In your quest to mobilize the people around you, often you can become so frustrated (or driven, if the emotions aren't negative) that you start to do things for them. A lot of your time can be spent situating others, doing things for them that they can't or won't do for themselves. In a way, it's like you're picking them up and dragging them to the finish line, simply because you are sick of waiting for them. But for the most part, once you get people moving, they'll be able to stay moving on their own.

...Show some Love...

Daily Tao

Coming into life, entering death
The followers of life, three in ten
The followers of death, three in ten
Those whose lives are moved toward death
Also three in ten
Why? Because they live lives of excess

I've heard of those who are good at cultivating life
Traveling on the road, they do not encounter rhinos or tigers
Entering into an army, they are not harmed by weapons
Rhinos have nowhere to thrust their horns
Tigers have nowhere to clasp their claws
Soldiers have nowhere to lodge their blades
Why? Because they have no place for death
