Daily Horoscope for Cancer Summary

It's easy to be taken in by quantifiables. Numbers are generally good for comparison - big number means more, small number means less, slap in a little context and you can make pretty easy judgments. We often look at money not for its utility, but for its "score". We make dozens of judgments each and everyday based on numerical indicators and think nothing of it, and most of the time, it's not a bad call to do so.

The current energy definitely challenges that mentality though. Intangibles become more important. What good is having a ton of money if you aren't happy? Where do you find motivation if you feel you've already reached the peak of something? Are you openly working to obtain more of something at the expense of a direction you'd rather explore instead? How valuable is convenience? A lot of these sorts of questions can pop up in the day to day, where what normally would seem like great goals like earn more, progress, expand don't seem to fit into the processes of what might actually be more fulfilling to you. There won't be easy answers to those questions, but all you can really do is try to see things from multiple angles. The ways you usually weigh what it best might not hold up in the long run and you don't have to stick with them if they're not working. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Cancer

This energy requires more of a "share the pot" kind of attitude. There can be opportunities to grow (particularly financially), but if you're draining too much from those who assist you in what you do, you might not have them around to help for too long. A more equal distribution of resources keeps everyone invested and chasing goals at the same pace. It also ensures everyone involved operates from a more neutral emotional state, which prevents resentment and feelings of underappreciation.

Daily Tao

Cease learning, no more worries
Respectful response and scornful response
How much is the difference?
Goodness and evil
How much do they differ?
What the people fear, I cannot be unafraid

So desolate! How limitless it is!
The people are excited
As if enjoying a great feast
As if climbing up to the terrace in spring
I alone am quiet and uninvolved
Like an infant not yet smiling
So weary, like having no place to return
The people all have surplus
While I alone seem lacking
I have the heart of a fool indeed – so ignorant!
Ordinary people are bright
I alone am muddled
Ordinary people are scrutinizing
I alone am obtuse
Such tranquility, like the ocean
Such high wind, as if without limits

The people all have goals
And I alone am stubborn and lowly
I alone am different from them
And value the nourishing mother
