Daily Horoscope for Cancer Summary

There can be some shifts in the things we wish to pursue today, which can be a bit confusing to deal with. In a way, our attention spans can be fractured. Instead of diving into something we've invested a good bit of time into, something new and shinier can come along, which will usually tend to drag us back towards where we are and further from where we were heading. Changes of mind are fine (and often welcome when a lot of thought's been put into it), but today these things can seem more sporadic. Additionally, with splintered goals and direction, we may only make minimal progress in a few areas, rather than a bigger stride in one particular one.

The level of emotional distress caused by "being torn" can be higher today as well. The road not traveled is way more likely to bother us. That can drive many to indecision and inaction. Still, doing nothing gets you nowhere. This aspect of the energy will pass soon enough though. A good idea is to plod onward with something without worrying about what may come along or what you might be missing out on. In a day or two, you'll be able to look back and see what you've done and assess it with a more rational outlook. At that point, you will be able to make a stronger decision about which directions seem most fruitful. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Cancer

Getting amped up to do things will take more effort today and part of that will be because you have to talk yourself into ways where things will turn out successfully for you. There can be a looming anxiety you'll have to get past to be at your best. Some of this can stem from putting too much importance or weight into the things you've invested time into. That fear of loss can prevent you from taking the shots needed to succeed. You can't let that hold you back - you don't have to rush into things, but you should find ways to at least ensure you take chances in the first place.

...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
